AMD Athlon X2 5000+ Black Edition OCed

[youdeanRX8]

Now AMD has produce AMD 7750 2.7GHz Black Edition and AMD 8750 2.8GHz Black Edition..

[yespleasefen]

I have this same CPU non Black Edition though

what is a safe temp for this CPU at 3.0 GHz?

[chicagochris1988]

I have @ 5000+BE @ 3.2ghz 1.4vcore. I wouldnt try to push the AMD's past 50c but whatever works. It prolly loads around 50. I never push my vcore past 1.5v on air unless quick suicide runs

opteron 164 1.8ghz stock...running 2.7ghz :)

damn I need to upgrade.....

[oafaloaf]

165..opps

My 5000+ non black edition can also reach 3,2 ghz with ease, even with this stock cooler i can run it perfectly even when stresses by everest ultimate for 4 hours, i dont see why we should get the black edition while my non black edition can get the exact same results o.O

Because your non-Black Edition would have to be overclocked by altering the BUS peeds, which affects the PCI frequency. The chipset would also require increase voltage. The Black Edition has a superior stepping to your non-black edition 5000+. In most cases, 3.Ghz can be reached with the black edition without raising the voltage. It also stays cooler, too. Something your non-black edition likely cannot do. What's more? The Black Edition is only cost around $10-20 more. So why not?

i got the normal one and it dousent effect my pci at all and with my bios i can change every thing on the cpu the whole lot is ulocked check my overclocking video out so u can see me doing it thanks

I don't believe that we can have 5000+ BE reach to 3.2Ghz without additional voltages. I managed to have the processor work at 3.45Ghz with the maximun voltages (1.56v). AMD 5000+ BE allow you to increase multiplier, however increasing multiplier will require more voltages than increasing Reference Clock speed (which u said FSB was incorrect, AMD processors do not have FSB)

[tyau1234]

hey leduchoan, you are correct. 3.2ghz with 5000+ BE typically requires a voltage of around ~1.40v. But with 3.0ghz, stock voltage is reported to be stable. Some motherboards adjust CPU voltage based on CPU loads. I have seen my CPU Voltage spiking up to 1.52v under high CPU activity, even though the voltage is set at 1.40v in the bios. My 5000+ BE is stable up to 3.4ghz at 1.5v in the bios. But I am running it at a more conservative 3.2ghz @ 1.4v.

[youdeanRX8]

Its better to use it on the stable clock, 3.0GHz.. Cuz if u use it higher, the higher voltage require and coz it always too hot.. Not suitable for daily use..

[Ma2DaEL]

my Black edition clocked up to 3.5GHZ without fail. a non black edition cant even reach that high. And once u play with its FSB, ur crossfire or SLI wont be able to function.. Trust me on this.. ive done some experiment with these 2 chips. A BE and a non BE.. 1 more thing.. Black edition 5000+ has a difrent stepping than a non BE.. The 5000+ be has the latest stepping

sorry i seem to have miss placed my bionic eye!

To bad my 5000 Black Edition was a bad one. I can only get to 2.9Ghz after which it becomes unstable. I've tried everything to do with the motherboard and ram.
