omga14 Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 take into consideration the cooling they are using, if there are any volt mods, cap mods, etc. then take into account that you could sit down next to 2 computers with the same exact hardware and software in the same room and have a high probability of never getting the same overclock with one that you have attained with the other. there are to many variances in components due to all the components that make up your ram, cpu, mobo, etc. no 2 diodes/transistors/resistors/capacitors, will always react to input the same. if you can get 3ghz stable then great but do not depend on what you see at XS as a common probability. the regulars there will even tell you that for them it's all about the peak.

OldGuy Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 Been awhile since anyone posted in the s754 DB...The processor formerly known as Thundas has been thoroughly flogged and tortured and this is all I could muster (without getting completely out of hand with the voltage:eek: ) Can someone do a quick spot check before I tear this puppy down and move on to my next project???

politbureau Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 Hey All. Still working on some benchmarks (want to tweak to the max before I post screenshots), but thought I'd add this to the forum to keep things interesting. That's what it's for afterall!

THunDA Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Looks good OldGuy.. Im happy the cpu is in the hands of someone that will enjoy it and knows how to tame it..hehe.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Looks good OldGuy.. Im happy the cpu is in the hands of someone that will enjoy it and knows how to tame it..hehe.. Yeah, well, so much for my "I'm confident it will do at least 2.8" comment eh?? This thing had me running around in circles. It doesn't like dividers but it does like cas2. I've never seen my XBLK's at cas2 beyond 235-240ish. You must have trained it with tight timings I'll tinker with it some more when I get it built back up on air...

As for the mem controller.. Yes its a weird one and I always had better luck with BH5 on it.. it never seemed to like TCCD .. Although I think when I first had it I used to run some TCC5 at 275x10 1:1.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1hawaii50 Posted July 23, 2006 Posted July 23, 2006 I know my system is outdated, but I finally got around to some overclocking. Check the database and tell me what you think. Would I be better off manually setting my Ram timings, or is it ok to leave them on auto? I could get more mhz out of my ram then I can out of my cpu, so I thought I'd leave them on auto. My max cpu mhz was about 2750, but it wouldn't pass prime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My max cpu mhz was about 2750, but it wouldn't pass prime. It would be nice to see what the memory settings are...as it is it won't help anyone trying to configure a similar rig. If you could run A64 tweaker, do a screen shot then manually input the numbers into the bios that would be a big help IMO... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1hawaii50 Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 Old guy, will do. Being as my max cpu mhz wasn't much higher than my overclock, would it benefit me at all to mess with the ram timings? Also, the ram settings have been input! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
