Angry_Games Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 temps so far seem to be slightly higher, but i attribute that to two possible scenarios: 1. I'm using odd cooling...an Ultra-90 passive, and a Thermaltake Typhoon copper heatpipe thingy I've not tried with an XP-120 etc or watercooling yet, so it might be inferior (though not that bad) cooling 2. the memory controller being able to handle the high DDR speeds might be the reason it's temps escalate quickly the thing I notice is that at idle, the temps are identical to 939's but remember the Pentium4 cpu's? How they would idle at 35C, but as soon as you dropped dual-prime on them, they'd jack up to 55C or higher? same thing I am seeing with the AM2 it idles at about 31C @ 260x10, but the instant you drop dual-prime on it, it shoots up to 60C to 68C, and then drops right back to 31C after you stop dual prime I'm interested to see what happens with an XP-120 and watercooling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsAs1n8eR Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 Interesting results If I may say.Can't wait to see more results. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Games Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 i wish i had an SLI board and SLI cards other htan these 6600GT's or I wish I had a Crossfire board to test this AM2/DDR2 in to see what results i could get Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brun Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 I just built up an X2 with the UltraII board and overclocked it to 2.6G with the stock heatsink/fan (albeit with Arctic Silver). - HTT is at 5 - vcore is at 1.475 - ram is at 2.1V (stock) - CPU idles at 29-31C, but shoots up to 55-57 when running Orthos, or when ripping a CD via Itunes - Chipset idles between 57-59C, highest it's gone is 60C I don't play games on it and so don't desire to run all the 3D benchmarks, etc... to get into the OC database. I've had no stability issues to date. I'm curious - is the chipset ok running this hot all the time? Also, how high can I safely volt the OCZ platinum memory? They mention that they allow 2.2V but is it safe to go higher? Just as an aside, this is an upgrade from my K6-III 450 that I've been using for years. So needless to say, I'm pretty happy with the DFI board/system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brun Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 did you read the rules of this forum? it sure doesn't look like you have read the rules of this forum... Sorry. I did read them but too quickly; I see now. Go ahead and delete my post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Games Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 how about rule #10? you did read ALL of the rules didn't you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brun Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 After triple checking the forum rules my initial response would have been - the rules only go up to #5, but that smelled like a trap. Not wanting you to apply the board of education to my seat of learning yet again I eventually found rule 10. *Technically* I did follow it, but I see now how that would be frowned upon here (sorry). I'm sure this is superfluous but if there's any other ball droppage on my part, let me know. Sometimes I'm not the sharpest pencil in the can.

Angry_Games Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 I've got a 2870Mhz on an X2 4800+ to drop when I can get to fixing it up per OCDB specs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry_Games Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 Happy, I'm curious what volts that proc is at. as soon as I am done testing all of the Core2Duo stuff, I will be back to working on the AM2 Infinity and Lanparty, so give me a few more days and I'll start pimping up the AM2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
