AMD ATHLON 64 X2 4200+ OC @ 8.06 Ghz ?????

[MichaelYoshiFan]

windows 2000?

[Edge0fPain]

1:06

lol 1 hz

[DACIIANDATACORE]

pure power but so far away

[crazybuddhist]

The clock rate is the rate in cycles per second (measured in hertz) or the frequency of the clock in any synchronous circuit, such as a central processing unit (CPU). The clock period is measured in time units (not cycles) and is the time between successive cycles.

[BabySkylineS14]

just a read-out mistake of the software.

[MrCrazyian123]

"Damn it, why did my computer shut down? all i was doing is overclocking it to 8Ghz!"

Just Kidding

[selihov098]

glich

[qwertyguy76]

fake, if this were real, then that cpu would literally put a hole in your motherboard, esp for an old amd 64 cpu

[shyamlok]

what did u do friend ?

[crazybuddhist]

@shyamlok Read - as it says above.

[TheAntman2006]

false readings

[mastax1234]

16 !!!! holy cow

[TheUnPlayable]

The most impressive thing about this video isn't the clock speed but the fan speed xDDD ---> 6750 rpm x) the cooler is gonna take off

[kwazhimself]

i thought oclock with software is retarded, ur 'sposed to do it in bios

[crazybuddhist]

@kwazhimself The overclock is done in the bios ... the monitoring is software .. how would you monitor an OC in BIOS ???? Don't be a dufus all your life.

[crazybuddhist]

@kwazhimself The overclock is done in the bios ... the monitoring is software .. how would you monitor an OC in BIOS ???? Don't be a dufus all your life. :)

[HerecomestheCalavera]

Ha, could you imagine overclocking a 12 core processor to 8ghz, a combined total of 96 ghz, or hell what if you had 4 processor board with 4 12 cores...... 384GHZ!!!!!! Could you imagine the speed!

[Arsjonisteman]

ive got an AMD Sempron 2800+ on 1.8 Ghz wOOt xD

(no really it sucks ballzz:P)

[nelizmastr]

these processors barely overclock without overheating. luckily, the athlon II dual cores overclock very well.

[kwazhimself]

@nelizmastr not the manchesters.... i go to 2600 mhz and everythings all sorts of fucked up

[BKsMassive]

this doesnt prove anything?

run Prime 95 and your house will burn down.

[GoldRyden]

LOL, this is a program error.

The AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400 + is multiplier locked, so it impossivle it happen.

Repeat this procedure and the use CPUZ to monitor the frequency and multiplier.

[Jacob500]

Its funny how he thinks 1GHz = 1000 MHz...

[GeeakFreeak]

@Jacob500 It is.

[EnergYbomB]

@Jacob500 what the hell? 1 GHz are 1000 Mhz!!

or what do you think? lol

[Jacob500]

@EnergYbomB yea it is, lol sorry, getting myself mixed up with data :D

[topcharacter2]

glitch

[aussienerds]

Why do people seem to think 1GB or GHz equals 1000MB or MHz 1024MB or MHz equals 1GB or GHz. So your processor actually reached (well apparently) reached 7.88GHz not 8.06GHz.

8192Bits = 1Byte

1024Bytes = 1KB

1024KB = 1MB

1024MB = 1GB

1024GB = 1TB

1024TB = 1PB (petabyte)

1024PB = 9223372036915200000.000Bits. Interestingly.

[crazybuddhist]

That is dumb ... really dumb.

Gigahertz -= 1000 Mhz these are scientific terms not computing so you DO NOT divide by 1024, but by 1000

n00b

[aussienerds]

Oh yeah i'm sure.

[crazybuddhist]

Don't be a dufus all your life. Look up "Megahertz" on wikipedia

Mhz = 10 ^ 6Hz

Ghz = 10 ^9Hz

[crazybuddhist]

1Ghz = 1,000Mhz

1Mhz = 1,000,000Hz

Named after a guy called .. you guessed it .. Hertz.

He defined 1Hz as 1 cycle per second.

You are getting confused. Yes Hard drives are done in multiples of 1024 when formatted hence showing as smaller than advertised but clock speeds are a scientific measure of cycles per second

[aussienerds]

Yeah this one argument where I am a noob actually. And you don't sound like some teenage tempered dickens, you're just giving the facts. I blame my ipod touch, it doesn't have a Hertz calculator converter 'thingo'. lol. I give up, you win.

[7heReaper]

@crazybuddhist so a 3 Ghz cpu spins 3 trilion times a second thats um alot lol

[crazybuddhist]

@7heReaper 3 Billion actually:

"The first commercial PC, the Altair 8800 (by MITS), used an Intel 8080 CPU with a clock rate of 2 MHz (2 million cycles/second). The original IBM PC (c. 1981) had a clock rate of 4.77 MHz (4,772,727 cycles/second). In 1995, Intel's P5 Pentium chip ran at 100 MHz (100 million cycles/second), and in 2002, an Intel Pentium 4 model was introduced as the first CPU with a clock rate of 3 GHz (three billion cycles/second corresponding to ~0.3 10−9seconds per cycle)."

[craioveanu95]

many people seem to make a lot of mistakes. computers use only base 2 numbers(0 and 1) and normal science uses base 10 numbers(0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9). the bit is a digitalized base 2 number. bits cand be described as rows of 0 and 1. to resolve the problem of very long numbers the byte was introduced(1 byte = 8 bits). so when you say 1kilobyte you say 1024 bytes not 1000(because 1 bit is a base 2 number, the byte is just 2 at power 3).

[craioveanu95]

@craioveanu95 so in computer language everything is 2 at a certain power (beacuse the bit is in base 2). that's why when you say 1ghz cpu/gbyte you mean 1024mhz cpu/1024mbyte not 1000mhz cpu/1000mbyte, because 1000 is not a power of 2 so it's in science language, so it's not correctly to use it at computers. but to simplify the things: 1024 computer language = 1000 scientific language(this is international convention and mathemathical proof exists but it's very complicated)

[crazybuddhist]

@craioveanu95 dufus

[Luger718A1]

@aussienerds 1 GB = 1000 MB 1GiB = 1000 MiB people just use GB as a synonym for GiB (gibibyte) wiki GiB for more info

[alexapirot32]

My athlon 64 X2 3800 does the same thing with core center all the time.

[RaTaDJ]

Software Glitch...

Noob...

[crazybuddhist]

@RaTaDJ Read the description. .... it says it's a software glitch.

[RaTaDJ]

tengo mas de 15 años trabajando en Overclock de Computadores... y hardware genralmente... y eso claramente es un eror del programa... te lo digo porque los softwares no siempre te dan una lectura real de las velocidades en las que trabajan las cosas... por eso se trabaja overclockeando directamente en la BIOS... si quieres corroborar eso que te dije traba de overclockear directamente sobre la BIOS usando los parametros que te dio el software... y veras que sera imposible llegar a eso

[crazybuddhist]

@RaTaDJ tengo mas a bit longer than that mate .. don't speak spanish but you seem to be saying something about O/Cing in the BIOS .. Yes that's where I do my overclocking too.

[bosshunterman]

8.06Ghz...Damm...What do you want? Roast your processor?

[aussienerds]

Nah i'd rather fry mine... or bake it... but not Roast. lol.

[ImyManz99]

software clock = fail.

BIOS clock = win.

[Kinsteere]

not possible with a cpu temp 36

[kilralpine]

i like how his NB fan speed is 6700 LOL

[fergoway2go]

all my fans say about 9000 all the time even the bios

[crazybuddhist]

@kilralpine It actually is that high ... it's a very nice NB cooler :) works well too.

[KrankySourPants]

Haha, yeah Core Center had bugs in my experiance too.

[Salih11ka]

whats the name of the program ?

[GarrettBMXes]

read the info. its a glitch

[ThePwnzerfaust]

There are no processors with a multi of 36.5

[crazybuddhist]

Read the description.

[AMD64Fighter]

it was a software bug.

[rene358cr]

OMG!!!!!!

[DerBabaj]

WTF xD

[Technorocker2008]

LOL... Are you from the future? I think 8ghz will be standard in 4 years ;-)

Funny bug!

[7heReaper]

@Technorocker2008 i say 7

[Dra60oN]

bugged

[SteelCity1981]

I think the highest anyone ever got a Athlon x2 to overclock to was 4ghz on liquid nitrogen stable.

[therobin4o]

Wow bro this i s not posible because your pc will blow up

[crazybuddhist]

Read the info

[363alby]

this program is not reliable!!!!

[afiqhanifah]

what the hell!!

[nydardosh]

OMG!

[Kabal0114]

CPU-Z prove link?

[crazybuddhist]

fool - read the description and comments :

"What the ?&$% is happening? Actually it turns out to be a software glitch."

[Zillerz3]

what fucking program? lol i wana try overclocking mine. i got msi dual core centre or amd idk but those made my computer crash right away but that was right when i installed windows and all programs for motherboard dualcore thing came with msi installation disk

[crazybuddhist]

@Kabal0114 dufus read the info

[mytube0000000000]

whats the link

[Alirocks0]

Haha lol if that realy happens

the pc would explode XD

[Zillerz3]

naaaw the cpu would burn through the heatsink :) BSOD ====DDDDDDD

[crazybuddhist]

What the ?&$% is happening? Actually it turns out to be a software glitch. By setting SuperPi priority to real time the MSI CoreCentre monitoring software can not keep up with the systems performance and hence shows false readings. - from the description of the video.

[trent1234108]

haha that hilarous

[gevorg95]

i got windows xp 2002 service pack3 AMD athomin 64 x2 dual core processor 3800+

1.99GHz 1Gb ram can i do it better stronger pc ?

[Guest2338381]

Lol! 8.06 Ghz?! ur proccesor would explode... But did they fix the bug yet with an update?

[nawaz2kx]

its a bug, i have dual core centre and same thing happens to me

[Edzaras]

when he made that perioty on max the PC was very unstable as you can see in the video mouse stucking

[crazybuddhist]

Priority was set to "real time" which means SuperPi took over the processor ... yes the mouse was hard to control

:P

[0TGhunter0]

fan speed is 6470 WTF?

what fan do you use?!

[quasardz]

maby its a delta, i use them when im xtreme overclocking on air, they push shit loads of air and really hurt when u get a finger in them....

[Darkheartsuffering]

hm my boxed fan gets up to 6400+ xD

[crazybuddhist]

I use a mix of Noctua and coolermaster silent fans

[NZXTblueline]

das is net wahr oder

[lcmy]

ROFL!

[Sepoyan1]

LMAO Windows 98 ?

[bowdenracer14]

no you Fool windows 98 dont have task manager its windows xp with Classic Theme

[crazybuddhist]

nearly right ... Windows 2000 aka Windows XP (without the Xtra Poop)

[knightofhell7890]

i have done this before on my phenom before i can run any game without lagging at 2560x1600.

[salvatordasz]

=.="

the temp still at 44.....

zzzzz

[k4ZE106]

lold hard as it dropped to 60Mhz at the end

[smekismek]

0.0

[ganymedeIV4]

Yea i did.

Was just stating if that athlon was actually at 8ghz it'd weld itself to the bottom of your heatsink.

Most ive seen out of those cores is 3.5Ghz.

were you already overclocking? 220mhz is 20mhz faster then most AMD busses operate at.

anyways funny video.

lol I've got a 80mm fan that WILL do 6000rpm. lol the fan from a thermaltake volcano 12

[crazybuddhist]

Yeah it was already OC'd

Usually I run her at 2.5/2.6Ghz on air. Noctua CH-9 CPU cooler - absolutely excellent air cooling - better than low end water kits 4 sure.

[ganymedeIV4]

lol 8Ghz

That cpu would flash weld itself to the bottom of your heatsink for sure.

[crazybuddhist]

it's a software glitch -read the comments

[crazybuddhist]

You need to read before you write any thing more or you will continue to make yourself look as stupid as you clearly are.

[crackerworld]

I've done that many many years ago, well sure you can't trust the software if you have a 2.4GHz overclocked cpu and you see an 8GHz cpu.

P.S. Try to set the priority realtime and convert a wav file to an mp3(you'll get nice result :P). Anyway even with high priority you might see the 8GHz but it doesn't last for more than a sec

[fire2k3]

CPU-FAN over 6000rpm --> omg...

[crazybuddhist]

I believe all the readings are false including the fan speeds. The bug that made these false readings effectively seems to have made the MSI Corecentre software run slow and therefore report higher than accurate readings across the board.

[crazybuddhist]

Basically I have set SuperPi to run "Real time". It is a highly CPU intensive program and takes priority over other processing tasks including the MSI CoreCentre software. Thus the MSI software is not allocated enough time to process and keep up it's monitoring and is lagging. This is creating the abnormal readings as the CoreCentre software is mistiming the intervals and calculations based on the various motherboard readings it operates with.

[crazybuddhist]

Talking of failures in life ... who is John Connor?

I'm not BS'ing anyone. I posted the video before it was clear what was happening, before I had identified the bug.

[Pnutlmclain]

What is that software you are using?

[crazybuddhist]

Learn to read ... the answer is three comments down. :)

[Pnutlmclain]

Thanks but i cant read lol jk

[rock962000]

so basicly.. this is fake :P

[crazybuddhist]

No there is nothing fake about this. The row of ???? marks in the title and the full description make it perfectly clear this is a bug.

Basically you can't read or can't be bothered to read. try reading before commenting. You will make less of a fool of yourself.

[crazybuddhist]

"Accidentally discovered I can seemingly unlock the mutiplier on my Athlon X2 4200+ and super overclock it. I set the priority to realtime on SuperPi and away she goes. First attempt she went even higher. 8.214Ghz ... What the ?&$% is happening? Actually it turns out to be a software glitch. By setting SuperPi priority to real time the MSI CoreCentre monitoring software can not keep up with the systems performance and hence shows false readings."

[vegard004]

are u good with computers? : D

[crazybuddhist]

No I'm a mad scientist. WOOOOOOOWOOOOO

[crazybuddhist]

I was uncertain when I posted the video what was happening. It is not a fake. I worked out how this bug occurred after the original posting of the video. As to bullshitting you ... Who the hell is John Connor?

[vegard004]

i got the same prossesor,gonna try to overclock it to 2.8 :D hope it dont fuck up

[crazybuddhist]

make sure you got good cooling and go slow with the OC stability testing all the way.

[plasma1337]

Where do i get that program for XP

[crazybuddhist]

It comes with MSI motherboards and does not work with other motherboards.

[martoksneghvar]

i got a athlon x2 4200+ 939 with 2gb ram duall channel i still bottleneck but how do you unlock it to get the speed and would it fry my cpu with artic cooling

[crazybuddhist]

It is not unlocked multiplier - read the thread - its a bug.

You should be able to get at least 2.5Ghz out of that chip with an Arctic Freezer Pro.

If you are bottlenecking try lowering your DDR Ram to 166Mhz as that will allow you to push the clock higher. When you up the CPU clock you up the DDR too so if you have 400Mhz RAM lower it to DDR 333 (166 x 2 in an AMD system) and that gives you the headroom to push the CPU base frequency higher

[Garamanli]

8ghz? That sounds like an airplane.

[Intelpentium54321]

what kinda software

[crazybuddhist]

MSI CoreCentre

[putsipa]

cpu fan speed 6400 rpm :D

[crazybuddhist]

LOL !!!! Hadn't noticed that glitch - it peaks at 6750 if you look carefully. Cheers :)

[Sh4d0wRuNN3r]

I lol'd at 60MHz

[hudders123]

nitrogen cooling =D

[crazybuddhist]

nooo ... a bug :D if I was going to get nitrogen I would buy an unlocked BLACK BOX AMD and really take off ... Would defo need a better motherboard for that though, my mobo and ram are the bottlenecks on this system.

[kapataz91]

lol, é incrivel

[chickenme50]

LoL, awesome...I'm surprised you didn't BSOD the moment the clock glitched out to 8GHz, nifty nifty

[bimmermann18]

surprise it didn't blow out of the socket

[xrockislife3016x]

holy SSSS you need a water cooler now!

[petitmacaque]

damn. you'll need to go into space to cool the shit outta this

[FrosChannel]

lol if it was overclocking 8.06 Ghz you better have a window fan against your PC.

[Soulxlight]

Buggy . . . and dude I'd say you're not getting the full potential of your CPU and Ram if you're using Windows 98. It isn't very optimized for dual-cpus and it also doesn't support past 512mb of ram very well.

[Oj10101]

That's not 98, it's 2000 or probably XP. 98 does't have a Task Manager like te one pictured at 0:04 ;)

[crazybuddhist]

No one said it was 98. It's win 2K.

[AngelOnez]

This is a bug of the program, those overclocking programs are not accurate and are wortless, do it in BIOS, my old ASUS A8N-SLI with AMD 64 3000+ did 11 GHz, so it's a glich.

[ewelmcc]

fry me some eggs on that CPU lol

[rex9877]

lol riht up its schow the temoray of CPU thas was at 50 C really hot dont do this anymore

[Maplestoryland118]

50C isn't that hot 70-60C is hot if u idle at 50C it may be a little worm for me my cpu idles at 29C :P

[betuned68]

lol 8.06GHz thats gonna be realy hot in there

[meaggez]

U r noobs he set it to realtime so it does it n realtime its much faster so but sometimes really unstabel sometimes u need realtime for sound and graphix editing...

[steavedaver]

howd you do that?? did you jest make that proses faster or slower???

[lastexile666]

LOL You should have added a sound effect of a 747 taking off as it started going up! That was amazing.

[venom55520]

how'd you unlock multi? that's excellent, even if it was unstable.

[chambis1234]

i have an athlon 3700 2.2 ghz oc @ 2.7 ghz on a sapphire pure crossfire 2 mobo with 2 gigs of ddr400 ram.when i try to go further my pc crashes or wont start up.Can anyone help me get more out of this?? thx

[j7x54]

8ghz would be to damn hot you would have to use liquid nit. to keep the athlon from burning up even the best core 2 will not get over 5 with out liquid nit

[Bobalo2]

w00t nice man! I'm also trying to get my little 4200+ athlon from 2,2 ghz to 2,7 .. Passed 2,6 ghz , now trying 2,7 :D

[fresno93703]

thats not bad. i overclock my 2.1-2.8ghz. check my videos out.

[nguyentuan1990]

impossible period.

[antonyr123]

He's right. them progams are no good bug e as shit. the 90nm can't hit this high or can it hit a muilt of 21

[Nopaa11]

damn man :D thats cool

[airwed]

i have a amd athlon 64 x2 dual core 4200+...is good but not the best :)

[IAMDAVEAMI]

oi

haha thats cool

i have a AMD X2 4200+ Dual-Core

which i got it to like 2.5 which is kinda hot without water cooling but i put in a aweosme zalman CPU fan which does an awesome job but at start ups the OC just heats up to fast haha but it doesnt do any damage butsome time you miss the beep soo you just restart not a big problem

but if your ganna OC a CPU use a awesome watercooling

which if i had it i can get it to like 3.0 but i like the stock 2.2

:)

[ninjastar35]

NUTS!!!!

[Darthomer11]

I have it and when I run it it says "No Hardware Monitor" How do I fix this

[zop1o]

we got ours to 3.2 ghz at 28 celsius.

[crazybuddhist]

PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU MAKE A DUMB COMMENT

"For the last time its a software bug. It is nor running that fast as the heat dissipation would cook it in seconds ... my 2.2Ghz 4200+ runs at 2.6 happy and at 31 degrees." "I think the bug goes like this: the monitoring software is losing track of time. It's assigning X amount of processing to a shorter than the actual time period and therefore displaying impossible multipliers to make up the difference.

"

[nevermind1534]

take the battery off of the motherboard, wait at least 30 seconds and then re-insert it.

[juasha]

OMG! Now that's fast!

[SoCom2HuMiLiATe]

its Msi Core center only for msi motherboards

[crazybuddhist]

For he last time its a software bug. It is nor running that fast as the heat dissipation would cook it in seconds without liquid nitrogen ... which I havent got .. tho I have a kickass Noctua CPU cooler and my 2.2Ghz stock 4200+ runs at 2.6 quite happy and at 31 degrees.

[tokyodrifte1991]

Im getting this processors and a ECS GeForce6100SM-M2 motherboard, could you please tell me what i need to overclock it? And what is a safe speed?

[pimptastic13]

LOL...I just wonder if after a couple minutes you can smell your Mobo frying?

[Buszma]

LOL?

[hedgz]

cuida de no excederte tanto, podrias quemar tu porcesador

[KillerJoeFIN]

I just buy 6400+ black edition... i just wait some other parts like memorys and 8800gts

[dieglhix]

u could buy 5000+ BE cuz it 65nm and u could leave it like a 6400 stock. and with the money u saved u could buy better pcs. :)

[v2ExPLoSiVo]

what can I get on an Athlon 64 X2 6400+ Black Edition?

[techsupport07]

I have that the Athlon 64 x2 6400+ black edition also, im going to add some better cooling (liquid) and im gonna see where it will take me - it says he has a cpu fan running, but he has to have something better (i've seen cpus get to 700 F because of stuff like this (they started melting the motherboard)

[v2ExPLoSiVo]

Thanks for the reply. I will be sure to look into getting a liquid cooling system. Should I go for just the CPU or should I liquid cool my video cards as well?
