OC'D Turion X2 TL-52

Here is a screen shot of SiSoft Sandra benchmark. I overclocked to 1.8Ghz it beats the 1.83Ghz and 1.66Ghz core duos and two core 2 solos. Used ClockGen, screen shot below to shows clocks. I have gone to 1.92Ghz and that bests the 2Ghz core duo but I get stability issues so stopped trying. I am not undervolting AMD Power Now 1800/900 vs 1600/800 temps really are the same.

 

Nice work! I think Turions are actually more powerful than most would give them credit for.

 

Thanks for posting your results.

 

I absolutely agree, there not slow... Celerons and Pentium 4's are slow...

 

Hey!

(see sig)

Fast enough for web browsing, office and IM which is all my Celeron really gets used for.

 

sweet! How stable is it? what prog did you use to OC?

 

I used ClockGen, how stable? well I have been running since before I posted and no problems, I have been benchmarking and surfing and played with paint, temps are fine. I have not used apps like Prime95 yet and I might not, If it works for me with what I do why do a stress test? The Trinidad TL-50 and TL-52 are 31mW the rest (56 and up) Trinidad's are 34mW so I think the 56 would be great for OC because they go up to 2.2Ghz with same mW's. Mine can only go so much.

Edit: Those Core 2 Solo's are Desk Tops! I just noticed!

 

The stable speed for the TL-5x series seems to be 1.9Ghz and no higher I wouldn't even leave it at that speed either 1.8ghz is the sweet spot . Yeah it can reach 2ghz but if I remember the system will freeze immediately. You should try overclocking and undervolting at the same time I managed to get 1.8ghz @1.0v, and there are other x2 owners that can get the voltage even lower at that speed .

 

I have found about the same as what you say. 1.9Ghz holds for a while, 1.92Ghz CRASH! I tried undervolting and had issues so now that (if) I am stable I might go play! I first OC'd it a month ago but stopped, I have a sweet spot for mine might play with 1.85Ghz, but who knows? I always watch my heat and if it crashes it reboots without OC enabled, pay attention kids!

 

My non-overclocked Intel Core 2 Duo T5200 can beat your AMD Turion X2 TL-52 at Dhrystone, even a Core Duo T2600 @ 2.16GHz, but not at Whetstone.

 

I agree! But my ATI Express 1150 can squash your GMA 950! So where does that leave us? Why don't we just be friends?

Edit: I was confused, I did not realize you got a 9852 on your Whetstone! I own you! Forget about being friends that was when I thought you beat me! Back Off! I Am The King Of The World!

 

Hm, any idea on how to get it working with my D531? Clockgen just gives me the options and the clocks as choices.

 

Yea I could do it but maybe PM so we can talk.

 

LMAO! Stop it, your killing me.

 

pfft wheystone and dhrystone? lets see some real life benchmarks and see how slow your turion is even after the overclock. admit it, listen to king nothing by metallica <------ did it right this time just for you
