Turion X2 Overclock follow-up - 2GHZ club!



UPDATED: I have run rigorous stability tests on a 2GHZ overclocked TL-50. It gives a memory error after a while. I bumped it down to 1800mhz, and no memory error after hours of testing. It's obvious that my memory can't take such high FSB speeds. As always, be responsible and happy safe overclocking. By the way, the memory test I use is called (imaginatively enough) MemTest and can be found here for free. If you would like to listen to this update via my podcast, just click here.

As you can see, I grew some balls and decided to overclock my Turion X2 TL-50 1.6GHZ CPU all the way up to 2GHZ (on stock voltage I might add...). It feels good to be matched with the 2GHZ Core Duo, even if the Core 2 Duo still annihilates the Turion. I didn't show it in the graph (due to sheer embarrassment), but the Core 2 Duo 2GHZ scored 18000 or so ALU marks for comparison. anyway, here is the Sandra CPU arithmetic mark:


Oh, and here are some more benches (just of my Turion at different speeds):
1600mhz
3DMark Score 946 3DMarks
CPU Score 589 CPUMarks
1800mhz
3DMark Score 1017 3DMarks
CPU Score 649 CPUMarks
1900mhz
3DMark Score 1136 3DMarks
CPU Score 673 CPUMarks

SUPER PI
1600mhz 512k

1800mhz 512k

1900mhz 512k

2000mhz 512k
