What's the average overclock on NF3?

[Rickikaye69]

I want 2.7Ghz stable, which my CPU will get. So I need 300HTT stable. How many of these boards get that? All of them? 25% of them? etc... I just wish I had spent the extra and got a 3000+ now lol

[RGone]

and really good shett you are smoking over there.

 

Stock cooling everywhere

Not going to happen for >

I want 2.7Ghz stable

Is my forecast for air.

 

 

Sincerely, RGone...:confused: as usual.

2.7/300hht stable here's what ya need:

 

3200+OEM NC CG can be found at Newegg

GSkill or OCZ PC3200EL Plat rev2 or PC3700EL Plat.

Cannot use stock heatsink. Offerings from Swiftech or Thermalright should help.

 

Tips for 300HTT on DFI, only use 1x512 as the 754 cpus's have only single memory controllers, getting 2xanything at 300HTT is tuff.

 

Don't use SATA1 & 2 use only 3 & 4 when OCing past 240htt.

 

TCCD chips run best at cas2.5-3-3-10-1t with little voltage, say between 2.7-2.9v.

 

Any of the new beta bios's are much better than shipping bios.

 

One more thing, 300HTT is not guaranteed with just not any cpu. I've tested 5 754's 3 CH's and 2 NC's each one as it limits. My highest HTT was accomplished with a 3200+DTR maxed out around 325htt and 305htt memtest stable.

 

Goodluck

Okay I got a SLK-948u on the way, and I was gonna run asynch until I get a job.

Does the board work fine asynch like the chaintech? I was gonna run the RAM at 250Mhz (500DDR) and the CPU at 300htt.

Should work, shouldnt it?

Yup, no problems there, though anything over 280htt 1:1 is where this board excels.

When I get a job I'm gonna import some of this stuff http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc....-141-148&depa=1

And see if I can get 300 with them. I dont care about 1T or 2T I just want 2.5-3-3-8 300mhz 1:1 so I can get my games working flawlessly.

[Alexia]

I guess I'm picking one of these up soon.

I was going to get the 3400+, but $30 cheaper is better for me.

[Rickikaye69]

Get the 2800+ if you aint worried about the multi of 9, cos it seems every one of them does at least 2.5Ghz. Even mine does that on 1.525v which is almost stock vcore.

[Alexia]

I'm worrying about running it at stock actually.

[Rickikaye69]

why you worried about running it at stock? nothing to be afraid of apart from the power and speed

[Alexia]

Going to be tweaking more on the memory side.

a64s benefit a lot more from cpu overclocks than memory ocs, shows how async doesnt affect em niether does really fast memory
