Supercharged Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 i tested my 290x10oc and tested using sp2004 briefly for a litmus test and it seems to have failed for core 2 only. core 1 was fine. currently using settings as per happygames or rgone's recommended settings. dram 2.65v chipset 1.6v ldt 1.3v Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thraxz Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 Sounds like memory settings to me if the core stability changes like that. Temps could be your problem as well. My chip doesn't like over 40C. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My chip doesn't like over 40C. now i raised the vcore slightly from 1.5x 109.6% to 112% and the reverse happens??? i mean both cores under prime at 1.65vcore shld they be hot?

Praz Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 max temps for both cores running is 56-58degC That's hot for water cooling. Unless you can find a way to lower the temps you probably aren't going to get it stable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhoetuS Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 any suggestions ? i'm already in an air-conditioned room, 2x120mm rad, What kind of cpu block & rad do you have? Your temps are definately too high, especially for water & are probably a major factor in your instability. How did you arrive at 2.9? Seems like you may be working backwards if you tried 2.9 THEN 2.88. My suggestion is to start over & find your Max CPU. Put your ram on a divider so its not running out of spec, lower your volts to work your way up. You ought to be able to do ~2.6 on relatively low volts, unless you got a really bad chip. It is better to work your way up to see what your chip can do, rather than start at the speed that you want it to do & try to make it stable.
