QX6850 - Help me clock thread... PLEASE!?!?!


Recommended Posts

OCDB entry done: http://www.diy-street.com/forum/showpost.p...33&postcount=72 ~~~ Feel free to look it over and tell me what I should fix...

 

I'll probably be retesting for SLI stability tomorrow then I'll post those scores etc. over that current entry.

 

Was testing with one card cuz I just wanted the SOB to be stable.

 

I think it still has some power issues though, dunno... we'll see I guess. ::yawns:: long and bad day ::holds up a sliced up finger:: LOL

If for no other reason than to keep all my ORB entries that're from stability in the same place, here's my entries ranging from 03-06:

 

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=5463001 ~ 03, 62939

 

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=3300782 ~ 05, 21875

 

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=2606345 ~ 06, 17421

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820227190 ~~~ what are your guys's thoughts on this RAM? A reviewer said it works great with an EVGA board like mine.

 

Just thinkin' about "downgrading" to that since it has better timings and I kinda want the performance boost, since the 300MB difference in available ram really ain't worth 130 bucks. (price difference between that ram and my mushkin 4GB kit.)

Oh, I misunderstood.

 

Basically I'm getting them cuz 3-4-3-9 is a far cry from 5-5-5-18-2T I'm having to run these at. I tried running them at 5-4-4-12-2T @ 2.0V and it was kinda bitchy, didn't Prime but I didn't really wanna leave my compie on again LOL

It's not save to run any memory in any 680i board at 2.4V. The 680i chipset has, does and will kill ram when run at that voltage regardless of cooling.

 

Edit: To answer your question about watercooling, they will work just fine without it. But if you are determined to run them at 2.4V watercooling will prolong their death. On any other chipset the watercooling is not necessary if the voltage is kept within specs.
