*Official* M18x CPU Overclocking Thread - Learn How and Share Tips Here

Thanks for the tips John. Now from the pic you can see that my cooling can't hold it @ 4.5ghz on a 1024 run, it dropped to 3.8 around 50%. Still, no flex, no BCLK, no dice, just the elevated back and maxed fans. And, I already can see a huge need of that improved HS, it's is still in the prototyping stage but hopefully by the end of October we'll have a few test samples.

now these numbers look far more closer to right.

also. if i we're you...i would do the gpu heat sinks as well...the only thing you have to do is make it completely copper. no need to change design. you'll make money off that as well..i know i would buy two right away!!


side note:
i was looking at that triple heat pipe heat sink and it looks to have about the same mass as the dual heat pipe setup...but that is just a speculation guess. with out being able to weigh them both out....no definite answer there.

Yes, if we succeed with the CPU HS, the rest will be easy. Sure, they will be copper. Now, you said something about amps, what's the min value required to keep it @4.5ghz, I know many said something about 900. What does this value represent?

start reading from here... i hope it's in the right place.

There's nothing about amps in that section, in fact, that's where I started testing the ES. All I wanna know is how not to play it safe with the amps.

[johnksss]

ummm..that whole section is about amps...lol
primary plane
800
900
that's all amp talk...lol

i can't tell you exactly because im not on a m18x machine at the moment.
in there sam gives the the formula on how to tell what number primary plane corresponds too.

so 800 is about 107 amps or so.

i think it's something like 7.6 divided by the plane (800) gives you what amps it is.

[Da_G]

Amps = value/8

So, 1040 set in bios for primary plane = 1040/8 = 130a.

Awesome, thanks.
Interesting, I'm able to keep 4.5Ghz (till the heat builds up) with Long 75 and Short 95...

[johnksss]

well good...means your getting closer to the number in your sig!.

Lol, you are evil! It does run at 4.5 across the board...... for 1 min...

[johnksss]

not sure if that's a good thing or not..
