65 nm processors brisbane can be overclocked to frequencies higher than 3.0 GHz; But here, the best representatives of 90 nm technical process can work at 3.5 GHz frequencies using intensive air cooling.
Can the core windsor F3 reach the 3.5 GHz frequency without Freon or liquid nitrogen? As asserts one of participants in xtremeSystems, this is completely accessible result. ....
The author of experiment used the mainboard asus CROSSHAIR , dual core processor athlon 64 X2 5600+ (2.8 GHz) stepping F3. With vcore voltage 1.6 v the system preserved stability at 3304 MHz frequency . Using air cooling, it was possible to take a screen shot at 3400 MHz frequency .
The use of water cooling allowed the processor to overclock up to 3624 MHz with voltage 1.75 v. at this frequency processor executed the tests super PI . 3DMark'06 was executed only at 3542 MHz frequency . Max Screen shot was at 3735 MHz, the system was even able to past CPU- Z validation :
In a word, 90 nm processors AMD still have good overclocking potential. But here , this summer almost all 90 nm model will be removed from production , and at the beginning of following years AMD will stop their deliveries. On 9 July AMD will lower the prices of processors athlon 64 X2 by 20%, Japanese stores already present this proportional reductions.
