DeFJaE Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 Ok guys I finally reach the end of my testing and research. Alot of hours was put into this so I hope you guys enjoy it. Let this be a guide or reference to those who are curious as to what these chips can do. By far this little adventure was nothing short of amazing and a whole lot of WOW :eek: I'm pretty sure if I put a little more effort I might be able to hit 3.0, but we'll save that for the next adventure and when I get a better sticks. I will post screen shots upon request.

RLM Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 Lucky bugger. Was on stock up to 2.55 ghz, but have just had to up it to 1.375 to prime at 2.6. Still a happy chappy. RLM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeFJaE Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 Thank you sir. My next goal now is trying to get Windows to boot up with 10/9 dividers. With my ram I might be pushing it to it's limits, but thats what we all do. I tried few times, relaxed all my timings change my dram volt to 2.90 all smokes, but no cigar. This is a bit frustrating specially when you hit a break wall. Did some further searching and reading, doesnt look to promissing. When I was at 2.4 I was able to set my divider to 10/9 (180) Dram Freq is 218mhz. Since now that I am at 2.6 doing 10/9 (180) this brings my Freq to 236mhz. It only make sense that I had to drop it down to 166 which is about Freq. of 216mhz. This is the same range I was at 2.4. With that said, my ram is only able to do no more than 220mhz. I'm shooting for the stars hear, but I will give it a few more shot..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeFJaE Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 What timings and voltage have you tried on your ram so far? This is the last timings i tried it on. Maybe i can loosen them up abit more??

DeFJaE Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 Ok here's an update. Curiousity kept me up all night, since i was able to hit 2.6 with ease, why not 2.8. So I went on and tried pushing my chip abit more, further than I initially would like. I kept the vcore at default, all I had to change is mem divider. Not knowing whether it would even boot or even perform benchmark at that, I went on and gave it a shot. With surprise, amazement and a bit of :confused: I was able to boot to windows, perform some quick benchmark and write this thread. My NF4 chipset temp is too high for my liking (52c). Question is it normal for this chip to be OC'ed at 2.8 on it's default Vcore? Now I am not saying it is stable, but wow this is something different. Pls. someone shead a light on this... I can try to post some screen shots of some benchmarks, cpuz, everest, sandra and even some 3dmarks, but I don't have hostings for the pics. If someone can help in this dept. I can post some screenies for you guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sthavorn Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 I had mine running @2.6 with no problems with prime95 etc... when my daughter plays the Sims2 game it kept freezing up. I had to low it down 2.55 but it still kept freezing up every now and then not as much as @2.6. So I decided to low it down 2.50Mhz and it's running without freezing up since. Anybody has any idea?

MiG Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 No way will that chip be stable @ 2.6ghz with stock v.core Mine needs 1.5v to be rock dual prime solid @ 2.7ghz, 2.9ghz is bootable but no windows, and 3.0ghz is asking for trouble. try setting the v.core to 1.5v in the bios, if not raise it some more, possibly to 1.525v then 1.550v. The DFI boards undervolt anyway so it should be ok. i run mine everyday at 2.7ghz with 1.52v according to smart guardian and cpu-z. im Happy.

gord27 Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 i'm at 280x10 22+hrs dual prime stable on 1.38 in mbm. set to 1.4v in bios. this with a big typoon and 1500rpm tt 120mm fan. dual folding temp sits at 40c. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow of chaos Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 well my opty seems to be fine at 2.6Ghz and stock vcore tested prime small ffts for over 60 hours then i stopped it. and yea temps seem to be not good all round i am loading at 50 odd celcius cpu and thats with a good hs and powerful ( not quiet ) 125cfm fan on it. i guess these dual cores have issues.. i cant even clock it higher cos the temps and only at stock vcore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeFJaE Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 Thanks for the reply guys. After 10 hrs of x2 prime95 running @ 2.6 / Vcore 1.31, I can finally say that it is pretty solid. I will try 2.8 once I get better cooling for my NF4 chipset and better memory. For now 2.6 will do for my daily OC. I will post some benchmarks once I get some picture hosting. Want to thank you DFI- Street for it's wonderful articles and of course the enthusiast. CHEEERS... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow of chaos Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 ur load temps should be better with water cooling?.. what watercooling setup u have?.. actually it might be because of the IHS problems people have been having, i guess thats why my temp so high with mine.. need to take it off but problems fitting the heatsink then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
