Fast processors are due to the very low prices at the top of most PC enthusiasts’ shopping lists. But which one should you buy and what CPU overclocking result can you expect? ocinside.de ordered 3 x AMD Athlon64 X2 4000+ socket AM2 CPUs and overclocked these very inexpensive CPUs. Without betraying too much – all three processors could be overclocked from original 2100 MHz (X2) up to far over 3000 MHz (X2), whereby not only the benchmark result was increased, but also the power consumption.
CPU type, CPU price and CPU purchase …
The AMD Athlon64 X2 4000+ Socket AM2 G1 Tray has currently a price of approx. 50 Euro (conditions 02/2008).
The supply of the three AMD Athlon64 X2 4000+ Socket AM2 processors …
Tray processors are delivered in this small anti-static packing. Of course they’re not as nice as the boxed packing, but it’s space-saving and more inexpensive:
That is contained in the scope of delivery …
Tray CPUs were delivered without any installation manual, so “just” the processor is contained in the package. Here’s another picture of the three AMD Athlon64X2 4000+ processors:

Characteristics and other features …
AMD Athlon64 X2 4000+ Socket AM2 processors are delivered with a DIE (CPU core) protection, a so called heatspreader. It’s possible to remove this CPU heatspreader for better heat conduction. But of course by removing the CPU heatspreader or with overclocking you’re loosing the warranty!!!
Test Hardware and Software …
The overclocking tests were made on the Foxconn C51XEM2AA nVidia nForce 590 SLI motherboard, which offers an extensive Vcore increasement and separate NB/SB/CPU multiplicator adjustment. Reference clock increasing is necessary to overclock a CPU with locked multiplier, but it also increases the HT (hypertransport) and Northbridge/Southbridge (chipset) frequencies, as well as the memory frequency (integrated DDR2 memory controller) without a change of their divisors and/or multiplicators.
Benchmark values, power consumption, overclocking and test results …
AMD Athlon64 X2 4000+ Socket AM2 processors have a multiplier of 10.5x and with the original reference clock of 200 MHz they’re clocked with 2100 MHz. In our test the processors have 1.136 V default CPU voltage (Vcore). The multiplicator is like on most current AMD processors upward locked and can be thus only reduced.
