Could I....

[Mazza]

...Get my 9550 to 2.5Ghz on stock cooling?

I already have it at 2.3Ghz, Just wanting to Hit 10Ghz total

[T1MT1M]

you could get it to 3 Ghz on stock cooling most likely

Careful, it's an AMD.

Sorry Mazza, I don't know much about AMD. Try Coretemp, but I don't know max temperatures or things like that. I"d just try and keep it within a few degrees of whatever temperture you're at now.

Sorry Mazza, I don't know much about AMD.

I mean like some software to put my cpu under load, and display some temps . I'm sure it wouldn't make a problem just 'cause I bought an AMD/ATi system

LOL you edited it, i have coretemp, but It display incorrect temps i think, Unless my CPU get's lot's of load botting, BIOS says 40 degrees C, But i just put my hand near the fan and see . I'll try now

Okay couldn't get it to 2.5Ghz, POST said it failed (Very helpful)

Left it at 2.42Ghz

V core i think is like from 1.24 to 1.344, I have no Idea what that means. :-?

Good Or Bad?

Temp is only 4 Degrees Higher Idling than 'fore

...Maz...my old Chum......

This is the point at which I ask...

Was your Flight Sim running satisfactorily, eg; Frame rates (locked at 20 FPS), Smoothness, etc, at sensible graphical settings, before you decided to pratt about play about with "overclocking" your system and risking destroying everything... ...?

My lowly AMD 2.1 GB, ancient Socket A Processor, and 7800 GS, AGP! graphics card runs my FS 2004 smoothly, flat out, with Max settings... ...!

Paul...G-BPLF...FS 2004...and daily, smooth, Multiplayer flights... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...!

.... Or, you can have a computer 50% faster.

Okay when it hit 49-50Degrees C, My system froze up :-/.

But is there any games that will my ALL my cores at 100% non-stop

So Should i bump it down, or leave it?

I don't like auto, it pumps too much voltage in my opinion, and you don't have total control. I probably wouldn't even bother overclocking if you don't know what BIOS is doing...

If it's unstable in Prime95 I would back down. 2.42ghz is a pretty small overclock, should be abled to easily go higher, but then again, it's AMD.

it's an AMD.... it is what it is
