How Far Can The DFI DR Go...

[jasonsupreme]

Hi People

 

I used to own an asus deluxe motherboard, i also own a vapochill lightspeed cooling unit. Now i was having issues with overclocking my cpu, setting was

2.6GHz - 3.2GHz 245x13 x5, voltage was on auto even though some times i had the voltage at 1.584, CPU temperture at -2 degrees.

Anyway i got into windows with those settings ran some demos, also ran GTA San andreas every thing was fine till i ran 3d Benchmark03 and as soon as it got to the battle proxycon demo it freezes, and i had to reset the system, everything was fine untill the third attempt of doing this, now i can get in and out the bios fine but at post where the system is listing hardware it just freezes it won't even make it to the point where i can load a windows xp cd in dos, i've chekced all my hardware it's fine i get a system post at boot but yet i still froze.

now i've ordered a DFI UT Sli lanparty DR, i'm afaid of having the same problem happing, for such high CPU overclocking will i need any water cooling equipment on the chipset, if i can avoid buying this i'll be alot happier.

 

Thanks

Many of us run pretty high chip voltages and the basic chipset fan is good enough.

 

But Id say U might just have hit Ure CPU limit... Please create a sig so we can see what U have in order to say more.
