The first Brisbane processors released on 65 nm technology had not provided a phenomenal breakthrough in the overclock capacity , compared with its 90 nm predecessors, the senior model Athlon 64 X2 for a long time was produced using 90 nm technology. Recently after switch to G2 stepping , Brisbane core begin to show improvement in the frequency capabilities.
Yesterday, we reported about the overclock of 65 nm processor Athlon 64 X2 5000 + Black Edition up to 3.5 GHz using air cooling . Many oveclocker certainly know how to overclock this processor to higher frequencies with extreme cooling . The corresponding experiment was described on XtremeSystems.org .
Dry ice helped to take the screenshot at 4.0 GHz: multiplier was increased to 17 x, and the vcore used was 1.7 V. The motherboard used is based on chipset NVIDIA nForce590 SLI (DFI).
This result proves that AMD made great proposal giving the processor Athlon 64 X2 5000 + a free multiplier and attractive price. Owners of good processor with Socket AM2 motherboard can get a good overclock results .
