More voltage? What are your load temps?

Hmm... 61*c when running orthos - a bit lower for superpi - I thought that they looked a bit slow... I'm not too sure what's going on

What are your timings at for the RAM?

My case is here

My torture rack will be here Friday, I have no MB though. I am thinking about ordering one while I am waiting on my RMA from Gigabyte...

i get payed on thursday my mobo should come firday/monday ..... that just leaves the rest of my pc lol and all the water cooling parts!!! *sigh* where does all my money go!

Got another P35 DS4 on the way, no telling how long Gigabyte will have my other board and with my torture rack being here Friday I need something to torture on it...

Good stuff road! I hope my Blood Iron gets here before the weekend, so that I can torture this G0 combined with my A-Data memory Lol, I'd be OCing on two rigs simultaneously then

Yea I want to see how well the DFI does with the quad, there are mixed reports on it...

I know, I was a little hesitant about buying it as well, but then I saw the price (20 Euros cheaper than the DS4). Ok, not a big difference, I agree, but you get a DFI. It's basically the Lanparty P35 T2R with less features, but a very similar BIOS and overclocking potential. I'll see how it does, otherwise I might have to seek an alternative

It's here Q6600 SLACR, nicely packaged OEM in an .... AMD PACKAGE?!?!

AMD's packaging is much better

yea, it's one of those little plastic things you get when you buy a retail A64. I thought it was weird though, but funny nontheless

Well my DS4 got here yesterday and my Torture Rack just got here.

haha, I love how the dog is so interested in that torture rack Maybe he wants to OC some rigs as well?

Btw, posting from my Quad The P35 T2RL Blood Iron got here today, I'm extremely happy up to now Didn't even have to reformat! It just went right over

Good... Now lets see what it can do? What VID is your chip?

*checks VID* 1.275, is that good? I have no clue

That should be good, my first quad is 1.3250, and this last one I got that I ran OCCT at 3.9Ghz is 1.2375 which means it takes a lot less volts to OC farther...

I'd love some 3.9GHz OCCT action I'll see what it can do in a minute, then I'll leave it at a preliminary OC for the night (folding of course!), and tomorrow I'll look for the highest pwnage

And??

tick tock! lol king must love that 2.4ghz

Working on mine. I hope to get it going later. Not sure if I am going to pull the quad out of the other rig yet or not. I may just get it going with the E6850 for now.

lol some one is goin to say your not ment to put your mobo on the anti static bag!


Btw how do you find that Laing DDC?

It came in this kit from Petras.

Edit: Its sitting on the foam, the foam is sitting on the bag...

Had it like this for a while but thought i might as well getting it recorded officially.




(Will be back with more screeny's once i plug in my cpu fan as it is currently fanless lol)

Comp Dude, you're in

@ firky, I've been busy the whole day, so I didn't really get much OCing done, but it's been folding at 3.2 for the day

Went ahead and pulled the quad and 2900xt out of my other rig and put in the E6850 and a cheap video card for Folding. Trying to get a stable OC established on the Utra 120 Extreme then I am going to water cool the quad and 2900...

Looks like the Quad will have to do it's work at 3.2 for now, I simply don't have time to OC right now School is killing me!

darn, i have the slowest E4300 lol.

p.s., i am using vista (cos someone else got a big sign beside their name)

Alrighty, will add that

Wont be to much longer...

Looks like 3924 is about all I can get out of it for a 24/7 speed at regular room temp of 74-75f. I tried 3950 and up to 4Ghz but it fails as it is getting to warm with more volts. At 3924 I have to set the vcore to 1.525 in the bios. It drops to 1.472 idle, and when OCCT kicks in it drops to 1.456v. I am hitting 59-61c load with water cooling the 2900xt and the quad. I need to get those quad nozzles for the Fuzion I guess. It may do a little better after the arctic silver settles also. I am just really wonder if that extra 324mz is worth running the cpu at 1.525 setting, at 3600Mhz it only requires 1.3875v vcore setting in the bios.

hmm, maybe you need separate rads?

Maybe, everytime my temp would climb to about 63c OCCT would fail no mater what the voltage was. I went up to 1.55 in the bios trying to get 4Ghz stable, it would fail at 23m in the test every time. I did not think to check the memory with memtest. I am running on one stick I borrowed from the rig the quad came out of, my Crucial 8500 RMA will be here tomorrow. I am wondering if lapping and those nozzles will get it down enough? I have not messed with anymore tonight. I have been working on it all day and I am tired, so its Folding at 3925Mhz/58c-60c.

is 63°C maybe what the thermal throttling in the BIOS is set to?

Hmm, there is no thermal throttle in the bios that I saw?

Certainly nothing to be sneezed at... you've got a nice track record with your Core2s now

Did you ever try the new or old C2Q on the MCR320 by itself?

I was wondering about that too. Maybe pop in an old PCI video card to see how far those CPUs can go.

Maybe in EasyTune? I used the new EasyTune 5 Pro version, and it gave the option for thermal throttling.

It rebooted in the middle of the night at 29% Folding. I had the random reboot problem with my DS3R and the newest bios fixed that. I guess I will update the bios in a little while. As far as trying it with just the cpu only I haven't yet. I was thinking about the upcoming forum wars so I figured I need every little bit I could get, so I cooled the video card also. I am glad I skipped the northbridge.

3.6 and climbing


[Edit]

Gigabytes new bios fixes the vdroop on the E6850 where it reads what you set it to with cpuz in the bios, it also helped the quad core and the stability. 4Ghz with 1.575 setting bios, droop to 1.536 idle, and 1.520 load. They put an option in the bios to enable load line or (vcore). The rig did not reboot at 63c like it did before. I saw 65c as the highest and seemed to average 56c-58c, plus the arctic silver has probably settles some...

HOLY MACCARONI road-runner If you get that bastard 24/7 stable up there... I hate you already

LOL well its folding at 4Ghz, we will see what happens....

It just crashed running prime95 at 3.6GHz 1.47 Vcore in the BIOS. I guess the Gigabyte DS4 I had before kinna corrupted my views on Vdroop, as my CPU would drop from 1.4 to 1.36 at worst. On this DFI, it's crazy! Like right now, I have the BIOS to like 1.50 or something, and CPU-Z tells me 1.424, same as the DFI Smart Guardian (1.42 there). what the heck?!?!

The quads require a good MB. and I think a 8 pin cpu plug helps also. From what I have read vdroop is bad on all the cheaper 4 pin plug boards. You might try the newest bios also, it help on my DS3R and DS4.

Edit: Folding 3915Mhz 58c-61c

Will flash the BIOS in a minute, I hope that helps

[Edit] just flashed, but I'm going to bed! More OCing to come tomorrow, I hope this clears some issues!

Been Folding with windows SMP @ 3950/1.55vcore since around 1pm, no problems so far...

This chip is amazing, I put my Crucial Ballistics 8500 RMA in yesterday evening and did not have any time to really mess with it. I found out for one thing I was giving my cpu excess volts. I am at 1.525 setting in the bios and slowly moving up my OC. I am at 3960 right now...

Dang it road Me wants
