Hey guys. I did some more tuning, got more results. So I am throwing together my second slushbox blog. To see the first one, click here.

I tried to place my rad in the cooler this time so that the ice covered more surface area. This resulted in idle temps of 0-1C. So i pushed my Phenom II X6 1090T even further.  Here goes my second set of results.

4.806GHz All 6 Cores @ 1.648Vcore 1C idle – Validation

It took me an hour to get this validation. I could only previously validate 4.73GHz. I needed to reposition my rad for better surface area of ice. Then I had to wait for my temperature to drop to 0-1C before I made the final push. I couldn’t get any further without going above 1.648Vcore. Here we have it, 4.806GHz on the slushbox. Can’t wait to see what this can do with DICE.

4.902GHz Core #1 @1.648Vcore 1C idle

I chose 3 of my chips cores for this result, meaning I had to disable 3 in the bios. I had previously tested all 6 individually, and the best clockers were cores #0,#1, and #4. The best of the three was core #1, the one which I decided to push for this screeny.

SuperPi 1M – 4.7GHz @ 1.616Vcore – 14.555 seconds

This is a very fast result. The upper limit for my cpu in 1m. Again, this result only uses three cores. I believe I could improve on this score by tuning my ram a bit more.

SuperPi 32m – 4.608GHz @ 1.616Vcore – 14 minutes, 53.148 seconds

This is the first time I have ever broken 15 minutes in 32m without using dry ice. This score could also be improved through a little ram tuning.

UPDATE: Low Volt Overclocking

I wanted to see how far this thing would go without using insanely high volts. It’s pretty amazing what a little bit of cold can do.

This was my boot speed. 4GHz using only 1.296Vcore. That is stock for these thuban chips.

4.5GHz only requiring 1.44Vcore. These things LOVE cold!

As always, these 1090T’s follow suit with their x4 brethren and respond well to cold. I can’t wait to throw some DICE on these and see how they scale. I’m looking for 5200MHz+.

Thanks for checking out my second session guys. I hope this was interesting. And I also hope to inspire many others to put their Phenom II’s under cold. You will not be disappointed with the results.
