AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Overclocking to 4GHz FULLY STABLE! 3DMark Vantage Test

[awnful]

thank u ! runs fine.

[DuyAnh1]

how come no score for Overclocked 4ghz result?

[DuyAnh1]

1.5125V for me for 4ghz ;O

[teringvideo]

@DuyAnh1 Me 2 on 1.5125?.... any lower and it crashhh

[DuyAnh1]

@teringvideo right now I'm using a 1100T and it's running @4.11Ghz with 1.525VCore ;P

So far no BSOD hehe... happy me

[jenjer515515]

How did you get the vcore that low? I have the sabertooth 990fx and the 1090t be. My machine won't boot with that voltage

[ZastrzykHD]

@jenjer515515 I've just set this voltage and it worked 24/7 . I did not have to do anything more other than increasing the multiplier of the cps.

[HeWhoGameZ]

i have the 8 core fx and i have 5.5ghz 5.6 is a bit too much

[omg123596]

Well I've followed your steps and overclocked my 1090t to 4.0ghz, but I also have 1600mhz ram, so I will only be able to run it at 1333 when it's overclocked?

[R3AP3R664]

what are the track names! the music you play throughout ? thanks

[ZastrzykHD]

@R3AP3R664 1st- Mass effect 2 soundtrack - club eternity 2nd - Trash80 - Missing you 3rd is the same as 1st 4th Professor Kliq - Bust This Bust That and that's all (:

[R3AP3R664]

@ZastrzykHD thanks for the quick reply... nice rig by the way.... youve probably upgraded margainly since :D

The CPU is still king as the Bulldozer was a dissapointment

[ZastrzykHD]

@R3AP3R664 Np.

Yea I am stunned how bad the new AMD CPU's are. I was expecting A LOT A LOT more than that piece of crap.

[ArtificialLifef0rm]

Thanks for the video - this processor looks promising. I'm going to buy a H80 water cooler and see how far I can overclock it. Glad to hear you reached 4 GHz on air.

[ZastrzykHD]

@ArtificialLifef0rm Thanks (: I was amazingly surprised how easy it was. I've just set the multiplier to 20x and raised the voltage a bit and it worked. Also it is amazingly stable 24/7 no problem (:

[huymitsumi]

the graphics on the girl look horrible after oc

[technicdesigner]

Great video,

Will I be able to over clock my phenom || x6 1090T to 4ghz with a M5A 78L-M usb3 board? With 8gigs of 1333mhz ram (Kingston I think) thanks. I wanted to know so I could try to improve my gaming performance and video rendering. Thanks.

Awesome video btw:)

[traingp7]

I noticed you only had 4 gb's running at 1333 mhz. I have 16gb's of dominator gt 2000 mhz running at 1600 and the highest I can go is only 3.8 ghz on this processor. With the fx8150 hopefully i can run my memory at 2000 mhz since 1866 is stock for that processor and 4.6 ghz for a overclock.

[ZastrzykHD]

@traingp7 I am overclocking by increasing multiplier thats why my memory stays on 1333 frequency.

[Vorox144]

Please reply if u can i did everything like u said my pc booted to 4GHZ but 2min later after boot blue screen

[GamerSpaceHD]

@Vorox144 Lower your overclock.

[Vorox144]

@GamerSpaceHD Ok but i want to atleast have 3.7

[101m4n]

Jesus! Those temps are awesome for 4ghz on air especially with a power guzzling monster like thuban. Just one question, why does it display 1.3v on that monitoring utility, shouldn't it be 1.425?

[ZastrzykHD]

@101m4n AMD Overdrive error. Just that.

[101m4n]

@ZastrzykHD ah i see, if it were me i would push it a lil farther with those temps :)

[hikinguphigh]

i ment cold air blowing out my exhaust fans i now i have a standard cpu fan but my case has 3 120mm fans blowing out and a 220mm fan pulling in is this ok to keep like that

[hikinguphigh]

hi

i finally got to overclocking today it benchmarks at 4.2ghz and i have a standard cpu heatsync but ive ran it for 4 hours at this now and i still have cold air blowing at my case is this ok and normal. bearing in mind im never on my computer for more than 4-5 hours.

kind regards

[ZastrzykHD]

@Jamaicangmr1 so it very depends of what task you are running. But can i have one more question do you have nv or geforce card? I know as i said that physX gives the CPU a lot of points. So if you do please disable physX and show the score because i am intrested to see what is the score then.

And sorry again (: I will delete this bullshit because it is my misunderstanding of topic (:

[ZastrzykHD]

Ah i have to admit one thing I've looked wrong at your video i was sure for all of that time that it was a GPU score not a CPU, and well sorry 4 a little flame (to much fanboys on comments and I am a bit Sick of it and a bit allergic for it) I just noticed that when i fired up my 3dmark Vantage.

Well yea this might be caused because you have 8 threads. Mine are is pure 6 without HT. But mine cpu is better in things like video encoding also it is faster in cinebench

[Jamaicangmr1]

I'm getting 50,000+ easy on my stock 3.07GHz Intel Core i7 memory at Vengeance @ 1866MHz. When i clock my CPU to 3.6GHz RAM at 2240MHz i get 60,000+. :D

[jeenormus]

odd got a higher score on a single 560ti sonic edition

[Foristality]

yo dude. what are the options?

[mrshzzit1]

lol i7-920 still owning this peace of junk amd 6core ROFL i7 at 4.0 score 25,000 for cpu.

[Randomstation]

@mrshzzit1 yeah but cost more

[mrshzzit1]

@Randomstation the x6 black is 189, the i7-920 is 199. So ya, but not by much now days. Probly when they came out it was alot more though. Still, good OC on urs bro. Keep up the good work.

[mrinsanegamer101]

@mrshzzit1 AMD is mostly for gameing and Intel is mostly for jobs AMD can handle games better then Intel but can't run multble task as well as intel(i know i spelled it wrong)

[ChrisHansenism]

@mrshzzit1 To bad AMD is so much better priced.

[mrshzzit1]

@ChrisHansenism 920 is cheaper then the phenom x6 rofl, your an idiot, just stop posting.

[mrshzzit1]

@ChrisHansenism local best buy has i7-920 for 179,99 and the x6 for 189,99. So its 10 dollars more, for HALF the performance. ROFL poor ass amd. They should stick to graphics cards not cpus.

[0idDr]

@mrshzzit1 their bulldozer cpus should be good. They have pretty good specs and an unlocked multiplier.

[101m4n]

@mrshzzit1 except a phenom x6 is lovely and cheap :) great for budget gaming. whereas intel doesnt really have anything down here for us penniless folks :)

[super6961]

I have the same CPU and I can't over clock it to 4 ghz. The highest multiplier I can get is 18 without crash.

[b0sanac]

@super6961 Try an aftermarket cooler. The stock one cant handle much.

[yngvaa94]

rocketdock is pretty gay, except from that, great vid !

[galaxy366]

Song name with 3dmark test?

[ZastrzykHD]

@galaxy366 Trash80 - Missing You (HQ)

[jeenormus]

just ran with feature disabled i just beat your performance score P17520 not by much but still beaten the 4ghz . I havnt tried the High mode yet ;)

[jeenormus]

i dont get it 1090T at 4ghz it should achieve higher scores i just ran the benchmark and everything is at stock clocks and i scored P18158 and that was the basic edition and i have the same cpu

[ZastrzykHD]

@jeenormus what gpu do you have in your system?

[jeenormus]

@ZastrzykHD i have the 560TI sonic edition only the one and also the same bios screen also

[jeenormus]

@ZastrzykHD its a Gigabyte ud5 890FX 12 gb ram ddr3 560ti sonic edition extreme freezer pro for my cpu cooler and a gigabyte Chassis 5112 Sumo and a 880 80 plus hiper power supply .

[ZastrzykHD]

@jeenormus have you disabled physX? you cant have accurate results between nvidia/radeon if in 3DMark you have physx enabled. So select the option in advanced disable ppu and then you will see the proper results so you can compete

[jeenormus]

@ZastrzykHD havnt touched anything as the basic edition wont allow you to change anything

[ZastrzykHD]

@jeenormus so probably PPU is enabled. So your score is probably a lot lower without PPU(physcs processing unit) support.

[jeenormus]

@ZastrzykHD just got the vantage unlocked and turned of PPU and got P21672 as shown in a video ;)

[ZastrzykHD]

@jeenormus ahh i forgotten about one more thing. I've disabled the feature test so the video will be shorter and i see that you have them enabled. I will make a test because i am curious with them and single 5870 (because now i have two of them) so i will see that is the matter.

[jeenormus]

@ZastrzykHD but still you have it overclocked at 4 ghz and i have it at stock i have not begun to over clock it yet il try the feature disabled just to see what i get

[galaxy366]

@ZastrzykHD What song did you use at the start of the 3dmark bench?

[jeenormus]

whats your cpu cooler ?

[LivinOnTheCorner]

i have the amd phenom II 1100t.. i can only get a stable 4ghz with my voltage at 1.6v.. i immediatly changed it.. atm im at 3.8ghz with 38c loads... could it be just my motherboard is not all that great anymore? Any recommendations

[johnrehak]

Ok, so this morning I overclocked my 1090T to 4ghz with scythe mugen revB my temps rise from 28 to 31 in iddle and from 34 to 38-40 in full load. I only set multiplier to 20x and core voltage to 1.485. Everything is stable. Great CPU and great cooler i must say:-)

[ttham11223344]

@johnrehak Are you using the stock cooler?

[ZastrzykHD]

@ttham11223344 No i am using Zalman CNPX10x Flex cooler with 2x 120mm fans

[ttham11223344]

@ZastrzykHD How much did you pay for it?

[jpmac098]

I'm buying this CPU in a few days :D

[johnrehak]

Strange I have only trial version of 3d mark vantage and with my stocked AMD phenom II x6 1090t and stocked Amd 6870 my score is 12120P... what the hell is wrong?

[ZastrzykHD]

@johnrehak your gpu is slower. Just that.

[johnrehak]

@ZastrzykHD Do you think that 4Ghz on CPU do that huge difference?

[Jakemogensen]

ZastrzykHD

Help! i have the same cpu and can only get 3.8 ghz stable.

is it my mobo? M4a78t-e??

[ZastrzykHD]

@Jakemogensen I see that this motherboard is peaty basic one. It is not designed for overclocking. I see it has 4 pin cpu power connector so probably the cpu can't get enough power also the power section can be the problem so the answer is yes it is probably your motherboard. You should get something more hi-end

[Opelfreakie]

@Jakemogensen Most likely, ur cooler isn't heavy enough. What do u have? Stock cooler? Try the Scythe Mugen 2 Rev. B (45 USD). You could also go for closed loop watercooling, for example Corsair H60 (65 USD). Overclocking should work fine on this board. Just adjust the multiplier and the CPU overvoltage.

[iAClan2011]

Hey,

Nice overclock but i should say go to another motherboard to get the most stable out of it ;) Atleast a motherboard that has been design for overclocking like a Msi 790fx-gd70 what im using or another ofc ;)

Im currently running with this:

Phenom ii x6 1090t 4ghz 1,52v (still trying lower but i have watercooling so :)

8gb 1600mhz 8-8-8-24 1.5v

XFX HD Radeon 6870 955 core clock

1155 memory clock

and 1175 core voltage.

Cpu - 50c 100%load.

Gpu 70c 100%load

[assaulth3ro911]

it seems to me overclocking does almost no good in gaming!

[Flightkid9]

@assaulth3ro911 overclocking will make quite a large difference in almost all games, not sure what you're talking about.

[assaulth3ro911]

@Flightkid9 yea but look at your FPS, wheres the difference?

[Flightkid9]

@assaulth3ro911 it will normally increase your fps substantially which is the main reason most people over lock.

[assaulth3ro911]

@Flightkid9 how come it didn't help you?

[Flightkid9]

@assaulth3ro911 huh? When did I say it never helped me?

[assaulth3ro911]

@Flightkid9 you didnt, but in the video it shows that the FPS is the same, here I think I understand now, OCing the CPU wont help if there is a bottleneck, is what I am thinking.

[ZastrzykHD]

@assaulth3ro911 Well 1'st two tests are GPU ONLY? And next 2 are CPU ONLY? Look at the cpu test and down in the white bar at IOPS. quite a difference.

[ZastrzykHD]

@assaulth3ro911 well also there is something like limit of the FPS and every cpu even 24 core one will get here 15 FPS.

[Flightkid9]

@assaulth3ro911 yes that is nist likely the issue here, you could have an insaneky over locked CPU but unless you gpu can keep up, you won't see an increase or else only up to the point where the gpu cannot keep up.

[assaulth3ro911]

@Flightkid9 yea, i found out that my CPU (the 1090T i ordered) not have worked properly with my mobo because of overheating problems, so i had to switch it out with a Phenom II x4 945 3.0GHZ :'(

and I have 4gb DDR3 1333mhz RAM, as well as a 4870 512mb, any bottlenecks here? and do I have room for OCing my GPU or CPU?

[Flightkid9]

@assaulth3ro911 your graphics card will definetly be a bit of a bottle neck but you should be able to overclock it a bit to help with that and you can definetly overclock your cpu a fair amount. You might also be able to over lock your ram slightly if you motherboard supports faster, but that csn be a little more picky over locking so I'd probably leave the ram along, 1333 is fine

[assaulth3ro911]

@Flightkid9 Okay but why in Combat Arms (maxed out 8x AA) its completely smooth, then it chugs a bit then keeps going? driver issue? my cpu is at 15-20% so my CPU is performing fine I believe.

[Flightkid9]

@assaulth3ro911 15-20%? that's extremely low for playing games, I think it might be your gpu, it only had 512mb of vram which is pretty low, it might be that your gpu is maxing out and bottlenecking your cpu keeping it at a low workload adn with only 512mb of vram if might be running out of vram after awhile making it slow down. You could try updating or re-installing your drivers though too, you can't really do any harm by doing that.

[assaulth3ro911]

@Flightkid9 I installed the drivers Thursday or was it Friday (I built this on Thursday)

[Opelfreakie]

@assaulth3ro911 get a better cooler.

[assaulth3ro911]

@Opelfreakie right, any suggestions?

[Opelfreakie]

@assaulth3ro911 Scythe Mugen 2 Rev. B is very good (have it myself) It's 45-50 USD. For something like 65 USD, it's best to buy a corsair H60 Closed Circuit CPU watercooling system. With that, you can overclock to over 4,5GHz. By the way, what motherboard do you have? 8-pins CPU power?

[johnrehak]

@Opelfreakie I have Scythe Mugen 2 rev. B too:-) Great cooler. From what I read the Corsair H60 cools a little worster than Noctua NHD14. So I would say that Noctua NHD14 is best option before you go for full water cooling system.

[Opelfreakie]

@johnrehak I have seen the NHD14, but it's more expensive than the H60. Also, the H60 is virtually quiet. I have also seen great overclocking results with the H60. No offense, but I'd go for the H60.

[TheRogueMonk]

is it worth paying the extra for hte pehnom 110t?

[Opelfreakie]

@TheRogueMonk no, get a 1090T. Both are unlocked, so a little overclocking will raise the 1090T to 1100T level. Anywayz, the Phenoms are getting really cheap now:-)

[sadelkeps]

Hi!

Thanks for the great video!

Is the Patriot Gaming Series the best RAM that you have had?

[ZastrzykHD]

@sadelkeps Dunno realy it just works (:It has great timings. I don't need more.

[coolaidkiller101]

@ZastrzykHD is that good for 1600mhz ram at cl7 ripjaws for £50

[MrPhenomIIx6]

name of the firt song of the video plzz

[MrPhenomIIx6]

name of the first song of the video plzz : minute 4:50

[ZastrzykHD]

@MrPhenomIIx6 Trash80 - Missing You

[ZastrzykHD]

@MrPhenomIIx6 Mass Effect 2 - Club Eternity

[MrPhenomIIx6]

name of the first song of the video plzz : minute 4:50

[ZastrzykHD]

@MrPhenomIIx6 BTW it it free to download because Trash80 makes the music and he is uploading his songs 4 free on his blog here: trash80.net check him out (:

[TheLionzHeart1]

Loved this tune in Mass Effect 2!

[ZastrzykHD]

@TheLionzHeart1 Ye I like this tune too (: BTW I am a big fan of ME series and i can't wait for the ME3 (:

[Burkhardt0121]

OK someone please explain. i have used all these combos with the multiplier and voltage......everything. but for some reason anything over 3.8ghz i get Blue screen of death. anyone?? please?? its driving me nuts! my memory mhz is 1333. i keep it under 1333 actually. my psu is 650 watts. plenty of power. please help me!

[ZastrzykHD]

@Burkhardt0121 I need to know your motherboard because it can be the problem

[Burkhardt0121]

oh sorry! its a brand new MSI 870A Fuzion. i heard its a great OC board.

[warriorxtman]

I Have a question for you. I have a system on the way with a 1090T processor 8GB 1600MHz RAM

4 big case fans and an okay water cool system

I want to OC this only about 20% to between 3.8GHz and 3.9 If I only use the BIOS multipliers and don't over volt, do you think the life of the processor would go down? I know it would probably stay cool enough and be stable but would it lasts as long? And I have no interest in going to 4GHz or over volting anyway. Thanks for an answer

[rashin]

I don't see a difference.

[heffyg101]

@rashin there may not be a huge difference in games, but in encoding vids and unpacking .rar files it will be faster - also you can see the difference in the CPU calculation tests near the end of the vid, the overclocked cpu actually moves onto the next task before the stock speed cpu has finished, quite impressive.

[zelatur]

ty stary mam prosbe do ciebie... moglbys przetestowac ten procesor na grze "Rigs of Rods"....zastanawiam sie nad jego kupnem a slysze duzo niepewnosci w necie ze wcale nie sa lepsze od 4 rdzeni. bylbym bardzo wdzieczny.. gra powinna ci sie spodobac.. najlepiej jakbys robil w niej Crash Testy wtedy procek ma duzo do roboty. Wybrac jakies bardziej detaliczne samochody ktore niszcza sie bardziej szczegolowo. Z gory dzieki! licze na odpowiedz

[odin2free]

hhhahah

i like this works for me good numbers to run around on my computer

what tracks are you using in this video for musik ;)

i think i might be the only one asking this :P

[starwarsfan76]

I saw literally 0 performance increase in benchmarks.....

[TheXtremeGamer90]

Wtf! Plz help i set multiplier to 14! The bus speed to 286 and cpu voltage to 1.45!

[ZastrzykHD]

@TheXtremeGamer90 Relax that was just a joke. I see you have 1100 t so a black edition cpu so increase only the multiplier leave the bus speed alone and test it if it is stable. 20x is the multiplier for 4GHz

[TheXtremeGamer90]

@ZastrzykHD ok sorry for this previusly! And thanks!

[JumpingJack6]

@TheXtremeGamer90 There are three ways to OC a CPU like the black edition CPU -- strictly by the multiplier, like shown in the video (20x multi with 200 MHz bus = 4000 MHz or 4 GHz CPU). The second way is by the base (no multiplier), in which case 14 and 286 would get you there. Care has to be taken via the bus only method because you also clock up all other devices that use this system clock, including the memory and HT link. You could also do a combo of both multi and bus.

[JumpingJack6]

@TheXtremeGamer90 three ways to oc... multiplier only, bus clock only, or combo of both. No matter what you do, voltage is likely key to get high clocks. Too much, fry your CPU. Be careful. Your 286 bus speed likely cause the HT or DRAM to overshoot their stable over clock, try lowering HT multiplier and DRAM divider. This is usually the best way to stablize a high OC assume your CPU is good enough.

[marvindrake]

i`m looking for that sound at 7.30 min...AWESOME can you tell me the artist and name of that song?thx

[ZastrzykHD]

@marvindrake Mass Effect 2 - Club Eternity Mass Effect 2 HQ Music - Club Eternity you can try to find it on the Internet but if you cant download a program "Free youtube to mp3 converter" don't be afraid of using it if the video sound quality is nice well the converted video to mp3 quality will be nice (:

[marvindrake]

@ZastrzykHD thx a lot!!!!awesome sound!!!!! :-)

[heffyg101]

@ZastrzykHD Whats is the song at 10:42? ive been trying to identify it with programs but no luck - its sweet as!! cheers

[ZastrzykHD]

@heffyg101 Professor Kliq - Bust This Bust That

[heffyg101]

@ZastrzykHD oh man, you are a legend. Thanks dude! also, that was an awrsome vid - im off to buy my 1090t today so i dont bottleneck my 2x 5870's (old x4 945 not cutting it) cheers man.

[TheHalflife123]

my amd 1090 its not stable even 20x200 and 1.45v so i have to ask: HOW TO HELL IT CAN BE STABLE AT 1.3 VOLTS???

[ZastrzykHD]

@TheHalflife123 So you haven't watched the video carefully i said Overdrive is not showing the voltage correctly. The voltage is 1,425v but it runs stable at 1,4 on 4 GHz. Well i gues you have a bad luck with the CPU or your motherboard is week

[Jeahavee]

I know that feeling. I'll never worry about my memory being at 1333 it's fine.

[SynodCenturion]

what motherboard of gigabyte, cause i am aiming to buy a gigabyte AM3+ board.

I want to be sure to buy a correct one for overclocking.

[hanscool26]

Try my recipe:

CPU ratio 14 x 287

CPU Voltage 1.45v (manual)

DRAM 1566+

Prime95: 3hours stable on blend

Cheers!

[Herooftheday64]

You were able to keep it stable with the CPU voltage only set to 1.425v? I've seen lots of people recommending 1.44v-1.45v. The differences in the time it takes to complete the benchmarks is pretty impressive!

[ZastrzykHD]

@Herooftheday64 Yea as i said in the video i was able to run it on 1,4 v fully stable. But just to be safe i am using 1,425. BTW the OC and the new cpu Rulez :P^^

[keiki646]

I do believe that if he was to upgrade his RAM to 1600 or 1800 MHz Ram it would be must easy for you to O.C to 4GHz.

[Neomis01]

nice bench showing the difference.

[LaczupakabraPL]

Cieszę się,że wszystko już gra !
