I was scared to ever go over 1.45 volts with mine.

I remember when I put 1.85 into my socket A! Even with a TEC cooler I still don't know if I would push that kind of juice. C2D is really new to me. Why is there a FSB voltage and a vcore?

I think the FSB volts are part of the MB chip set. Vcore is for the cpu only.

I think I need to do some suicide super pi runs today, I went over to the main ig this morning and my CPU temps were 10C lower than last night...the sudden drop from 80F + weather to 20-30F @ night around here the past two days has given me my extreme cooling. I <3 open windows in "cold" weather. wonder if i should do all out mhz on the Ballistix, or see how far I can take it 4-4-4-12 1T Afterall the 1T seems to give a very nice real world advantage. then again I may just set unlinked again and shoot for excessive CPU speeds. Yeah that's always fun.

Might as well take advantage of the cool weather. Its been cool here also. We went from 80s to 30-40F also. Even got sleet, just north of us got snow in Texas.

I tried higher cpu volts but unless you have even more extreme cooling you just can't take advantage of them.

here's OCCT on water

I am having trouble running 2 instances of SPi...when one finishes the second automatically crashes regardless of the OC, or where I place the two programs

Is it compatible with Vista?

that would be the problem...it's an app crash so...:/ guess I have to wait

Ok yesterday I was lazy and didnt really get aroudn to doing any REAL OC fun, however I do have one shinny new 32M run


I've got the 1M run for it aswell, but honestly...seems useless when it's already done a 32M, of course I COULD go higher...then again it's alot warmer here today and i need to get this thing back folding

That is a great overclock with a low FSB voltage. What other settings did you tweak?

Hey Scratch that is truly a sweet overclock on that 6400. I would not worry about it running a vista-fied version of pi. It will soon enough.
Either way you can be proud of where you got your machine.

OK so some of you wanted to see to instances of pi running..... OK
I loaded up the new 2004 beta bios into my P5W DH and cranked it upo higher than it has ever been before!! I blew right past my old single score
and also set a new high single score. For now here is my 2 instance score. All I can say is this new bios rocks for my particular system!!
I'll load the single instance score so you can see the difference runnig makes compared to one.

WZ

wow talk about a nice OC and great timing on the SPi man

Thanks Scratch, You know I have had nothing but excellent luck with these boards This board here I bought refurbished. There was never anything wrong with it.
It runs great for me.

For any P5W DH users who might look in on this post. I loaded the new 2004 beta bios up directly from Asus. I tried the 1901 and it was just horrible!!
From the moment I loaded up this bios the whole system just responded well to it!! I bought my first Asus P5W in June of 2006 it came with bios 501. I have ran every bios since and this is the best bios yet. I know everyone's results may vary but, I don't think they will vary that much.

WZ

Hey can you post all bios settings you have such as fsb voltage? Thanks

You bet swifty I would be glad to.

WZ

thanks, wierd that on xp, 3.6ghz was fully stable under 24h orthos and dual pie, but under vista, 2.6ghz is not dual pi stable but @ 3.5ghz... and thats with even higher voltage that what i had.

You know I am not going to even give vista a shot til this fall. At that time it will go on one of my other systems til I understand it better and get used to it's glitches before it ever goes on my main system.

WZ

the main problem I have encountered is apps that simply won't run due to a lack of driver support or apps that need the help of another program to run such as Java or Macromedia, etc.
Many of these issues should be well fixed by this fall if not this summer as I have no problems after doing a bit of investigating and just finding workarounds for some apps or replacing old standards for new apps that will run on Vista
Gaming wise I have had no problems at all...and OC sorta speaks for itself

I'm sorry to say this, but I suspect you ran one instance first and then ran the second one after you had the checksum of the first. Unless you have your RAM at like DDR2-1000 3-3-3-9 and the processor at 4.5GHz, I doubt you have dual-instace 12 second SuperPI 1M runs! Now I don't want to accuse you of anything, but would you mind to post a screenshot during the calculation and then another one of the checksum? That'd be great


btw, sorry for my absence, but I had vacation

Hey I thought I would throw up a couple high clock screens for my other 775 toys My 950 Presler and my 540J A cool running prescott.
I am also loading up a pic from the HWBOT cuz quite frankly everytime I post something I feel like I haVE TO DEFEND EVERY POST TO KEEP FROM BEING CALLED A LIAR
. I see you won't udate the first page with my scores and that is fine. I have photograhic proof of my ultra high overclocks. From my 2.4C running at 3710mhz to now
I am not here cuz I want to be your friend. I am here to help people to get more out of their systems. If you don't want people to compete then do not post competitions.
I will continue to post and post and post............. Thankyou very much. Oh the name of the last pic there is PROOF if you want more do not worry it is coming!


WZ

WZ, what kind of cooling are you running on those? I can't believe you can run something that fast, is it 24/7? You are a pro.

Do not feel bad I was told the same thing when I had low scores so I quit OCing and started folding, they do not even know which core is which on the C2Ds. Now almost everyones name that was below me are above me so I think they are all cheating myself! I do not really care any more I just quit competing here.

Yeah road-runner I saw that couple posts, I can relate. I have proved it good enough for me!! I sleep well at night.

chavalcito...The presler is content to run at 4852 mhz daily The 540J Prescott was very happy to run at 275 fsb 1:1 for a speed of 4400mhz daily

Teh 540J is now in my son's latest build and is cooled by a Zalman 9500. He built great air flow into his case so he runs daily at 4256 that is an fsb of 266 and his mem is running 1:1 timings of 2.5-3-3-6. The 540J runs on an Epox 5PDAJ 865 chipset board and was not designed to be a high performance board it's V-core tops out at 1.5375V.
It is also the only board I have ever used that when under full load puts more juice to the processor than it's rated. under full load it reaches to 1.5472!
I am going to shove it into my P5W DH one day to push it harder!!

WZ

That is really good on air! What are you cooling the 950 with?

The 950 is a water cooler special...

well I installed the new EVGA 680i bios today and omg lol I hit 3.8ghz and SPi works however I'm not really understanding the counter as it says one time when it does the checksum and then when you click ok it says 16.82 sec on the 1mil tab although I couldn't really care at 79% OC lol

Click to view attachment

You got it to 3.8 on stock FSB voltage, what other settings are you using?

no its not stock CPUZ does not read the new cores properly
I set the Vcore to 1.625 which read as 1.59 in bios
I also believe my temps went down with the new bios but I have no idea how that works
apparently the new bios fixes the 450fsb cap on the E6400's

I didn't want to piss you off or anything, but I really don't see you running 12 second superPI 1M with dual instances. Check THIS THREAD over at XS on how they SuperPI with other E6600's. Also, you mentioned that a dual instances make no real difference to dual instance, well check this out:
E6400 @ 3.2 with 2GB of GeIL @ 400MHz @ 4-4-4-12 single instance:

Then check out dual instances right after the first instance run:


Can you see the difference? Now if you showed me a screenshot of a dual superPI run, with CPU-Z screens of your CPU and the memory tab, and it makes sense, then I will add them in of course, but dual 12 second runs @ 3.9 is doubtable unless you have your RAM at 3-3-3-9, which I can't tell from the information you provided. I am not trying to offend anyone, but I am trying to keep this competition a competition!



2MB L2 Cache = Allendale
4MB L2 Cache = Conroe

we had this discussion, I know CPU-Z reports Conroe, but thats because the other 2MB L2 Cache are just disabled whilst they still exist on the die. Which names below you do you mean? People keep OCing and benching to reach higher positions in the competition with higher and faster OCs, thats the point of this competition!


Again, I didn't mean to offend anyone.

Don't even think about saying I am cheating. What is the point in cheating? You are just fooling yourself if you do.
Besides, I even pmed kingdingeling of a way to cheat at some of these stability tests so he could watch for it.

Have you gone through the process of removing your northbranch and southbranch chipset cooler and placing AC% under them? Did you add active coooling to the northbranch? Did you lapp your cppu? Did you check your cpu cooler for flatness? I had to lapp mine it was so far out.

There are a lot of fine-tuning tricks to do to get the most outof your system. Also, for the Core 2 Duos, don't be afraid to push the volts to them. My board only goes to 1.7 volts for vcore and I give it all to my cpu on numerous occasions.

Thank you Tallman, that is what I meant.

I totally agree with you kingding

Have a really nice day.

Listen, while I know this is a competition, you still keep acting like a child when others are merely pointing out the facts and pleading you to provide the evidence REQUIRED for THIS competition.

Your persistence is endearing, but your attitude is dire. So what if you 'beat' someone's score? Unless it's validated, only YOU will believe it is true. If you were so confident in your ability, you would have conformed to the requirements in a flash.

If you really want to shut people up, do the easy thing and provide the proof. In the meantime, I would advise that you review your case painting skills http://forums.overclockersclub.com/index.p...;p=679664&# - post number 39 - that looks really poor, considering your outstanding efforts at overclocking. Sorry if this offends you, it is just my opinion.

After suddenly editing your post...(see above[in fact...loads of your posts]) you don't even show a checksum in that screenshot.

Is it so hard to follow the requirement for the dual instances? Cos at the end of the day, people are wondering if you are telling fibs, or have a plain inability to read the simple instructions. I mean, everyone else has managed it and you seem to be acting furtively.

on my Spi 1mil score it has me marked as using an E6600 but I was using my E6400 for the test just a small oversight me thinks. I was also using Vista for the OCCT 1/2 Stable test

Have your rig running for 4 weeks straight at 100%, then bench whilst having a ton of programs in the background running and see what you get I think silverfox clarified this one!



Sorry man, just as you said I probably overlooked that, I'll change it right away!

wah wah. I don't want excuses Mister. I want results. Now Push that Allendale like you mean it. I like the way so many feel the need to quote me cuz it is true my words are worth quoting!!! So good job and keep it up! All Righty Then........

WZ

now if you had a look at the results page .....

How many of you have reached 3.2GHz with the 680i and an E6600 on stock voltage? I am running Orthos with that right now.

Here's a SS so far. Let's hope it lasts for 24hrs. That would be awesome on stock voltage!



EDIT: I am not running Vista, that is the Transformation Pack.

Some do some don't. I can get to 3.2 on stock volts but to get higher the voltage requirements go up on my 6700.

3.2Ghz, mine requires 1.350.

nice, hope it goes a lot higher

Here is it after 24hrs, still on stock voltage Despite what CPU-Z says!). Can I get extra credit for my stellar RAM timings?



Remember, that is the Vista Transformation Pack, so it isn't some crazy fluke.

yea man, you get put to the top for those sleek RAM timings!!! I can't compete in that category

For whatever it's worth.....Asus P5B Deluxe, E6420, Mushkin DDR2 800, PC P&C Silencer 750 Quad. Just got it set up....mems at stock settings 5-5-5-18. Super PI 1m isn't too bad, Super PI 32m looks like it need's some work OCCT stable but didn't grab a screeny....

Edit: Stock Intel CPU HSF....upgrade on the way

I don't know if you are being sarcastic, or if you actually noticed that my DDR2 runs at 1T.
