Overclocked 5680

Thread Starter 
In another thread, while researching PATS, I was turned on to a little application by warp8, which allows you to overclock your 5680. It seems that my 2.8 loves running at 3.1 (sandra sees it as 3.08). Im going to get a few more, but the CPU benchmark is as follows

2.8 8695 MIPS 3542/6192
3.1 9562 MIPS 3859/6810

This setting puts it at 220 (x4=880FSB)

Now the question - very cool for tweaking, but do we need it? I think I might just stay at 2.8 and play it safe but I will tell you one thing - using Henriks temp application, it idles at 41-44 and while running 3dmark03, and a trying a few games, I couldnt get it to break 52! The cooling system in the 5680 seems very beefy

Heres the app: http://www.cpuid.com/download/CG-ICS952607.zip

You must reboot after you apply the settings.

can you tell me what thread you got this from and how did you know that this program (i can see it was designed for the Shuttle motherboards) matches the Sager 5680's motherboard?

thanks

I dont know where warp8 foudn this information. He just mentioned that he found something on that website, so I went to the application area and found the file that was closest to the chip that the 5680 uses and whalla.

I turned her up to 3.02 and ran a few stress test on the heating system. For me that is Rise of Nations. The temp broke 50 before the intro had finished and ran for only about 15 minutes before freezing my system with a blue screen (like BSOD, but blank and no auto restart).

Upon reboot, the clock had been reset to factory default levels, so one may deduce that the mobo "thermalled." I am using the default configuration of the cooling system, someone who has 'silvered it may have better results.

I also Sandra'd it and agree that these things like being turned up(alot), I would love to make this work.

hmm..i would love to bring my 2.8ghz to 3.0ghz. that would be awesome. i think my 2.8ghz @ 3.0 ghz would be faster than a real 3.0ghz because the bus speed is faster. isnt that true? increasing bus speed is better than increasing multiplier. but someone said the multiplier is locked.

Randy, which memory do you have? I have the kingmax 2.5 stuff (ick )
The problem I think we will have is that we cant unlock anything - all the bus speed, everything goes up together. The cooling seems to be great on these, but I dont know where its getting its reading. Mines still at 3.1 but I havent done too much. Im dead tired, been working on this thing for hours - so im going to start 3dmark03 and go to bed. Ill post in the AM to let you know what I find.

wait, warp3 said he OC"d his m10pro to to some 400mhz+ core clock.

wow, does that cpuid utility do this?

Green, yeah, yours should be faster than a normal 3.0.

OMG! SCARED THE $@$@#!!!@# OUT OF ME! i set to 3.16xxxx Mhz and 220.xx bus and right when i clicked "set values" ...windows xp crashed. then it BSOD..then rebooted..then my bios still said 2.8ghz. but when it booted to windows, BSOD again!

i was like.....OH @#$@$!!@$# NOOOOOOOO.

then i remember on the other forum, someone mentioned if u take out battery and power cord, it resets it. so i did ..and now i'm back. oh man , i thought i killed my 5680.

that was scary....

is there a way to lock the pci and agp bus frequencies? they are unlocked and increase and run out of spec when ramping up the fsb. this will undoubtedly lead to problems with devices not functioning correctly

I dont know if its possible - im working right now with a video problem, just lags a little. I think its a timing issue with the bus speed - if so, its back to 2.8 I go

theres a checkbox that says set agp but its greyed out on mine
also i'd like to have that app that controls fan speed before i go too crazy with this

this OC utility is not stable. i only OC"d from 2.8 to 3.0ghz at abotu 118mhz fsb and after 2 mins, windows xp got unstable...after 2nd boot up i get a ntoskrnl.exe is messsed up and requires a reinstall.

then i reseted and everything is fine. back at 2.8ghz now. i guess my sager dunt like me

those weird errors will happen when you run pci and agp frequencies out of spec. i would only do very low OCs with this utility until we figure this out. i got errors like that on my athlon machine when doing drastic ocs before locking the pci bus. resetting the cmos will fix those errors

There is no way to lock the pci and agp bus frequencies. This isnt anything the software can control, it all depends on the hardware, the pll chip more precisely. However, it is possible to underclock the cpu to half speed while still keeping the pci and agp frequencys at stock speed. This could be useful as a battery saver. I dont know if you can downclock with ClockGen, because I dont have a 5680.

guess theres no way to apply agp vddq voltage

The voltage isnt controlled by the pll, so if its possible its a completely different story. I havent a 5680 so I havent looked into it.

applying voltage to the agp bus would help the system run stable with the pci and agp running faster than spec

Applying voltage to the AGP bus, would help the AGP bus. Wouldn't help PCI, the memory voltage, CPU voltage, etc.

i believe that voltage would affect both the pci and agp busses. the memory and cpu wouldn't be affected but they wouldn't need additional voltage anyway. the memory timings are so horrible already they should be able to do whatever fsb you ware able to throw at it
