Let me ask you, and well to everybody here as well, i'm new to DDR3 RAM, my RAM runs at a Command Rate of 1T, is this right? Usually I know DDR2 runs at 2T for most RAM

I left it's at auto, and it's running 1T since I got this new setup, didn't have any problem.

guess it'll stay on 1t then.

Ok, stable at 3.5 GHz, no voltage increase, weird, but hey its working for now.

Here is a couple of benchies at current clock, don't think its looking bad so far, once I flash my 4870 to the ASUS top BIOS, hopefully I can get a bit more out of the card and improve my 3dmark 06 score

3dmark 06:

wPrime 32M

Super PI 1M

Generic CPU Bench

i'll be joing you guys soon

Fitseries3 · Dec 16, 2008

good deal man! i may be getting a better chip soon.. possibly the same you have.

Fitseries3 · Dec 16, 2008

Fitseries3 · Dec 16, 2008

look at that! 11th place worldwide.

congrats fit!

Chicken Patty · Dec 16, 2008

congrats to Morgoth on the purchase, should have lots of fun with that chip.

Congrats to fit as well for his accomplishment. Now why settle for 11th heh fit?

Fitseries3 · Dec 16, 2008

pcmark is a motherfucker to get a high score. you have to have TOP NOTCH parts for everything.

8 raided ssds, 4gpus, superclocked cpu, superclocked ram,... you get the point?

yeah I know, i ran it once on my AMD rig, saw the score and said, fuck this!!! hehe

Chicken Patty · Dec 16, 2008

Hey guys, is having vdroop control on better, or I just leave it off, setting the voltage in the BIOS for the CPU is sooo confusing :confused:

set it at something, when I boot up its completely different, WTF???

Fitseries3 · Dec 16, 2008

enabled

try a new bios.

yeah, imma do that now, thanks for the tip. I'll post up in a bit.

Chicken Patty · Dec 17, 2008

well I have now officially placed my order on Performance PCS for my water block and 1366 hold down plate.

Apogee GTZ as FIT recommended :toast:

It weird to see you in the intel thread , now just having some fun with you dude you still not beat my 3dmark-06 score with my Phenom 9850 and 3850 video cards heheeh . Wish your best of luck with you new rig. PS you need a sec video card . http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=9054809

Excellent choice. I saw my temps go down 8c with the GTZ.

Unfortunately for me, it seems my PSU is taking a crap so
am unable to do any higher OC for now. I have actually
had to cut my OC back to 3.2Ghz w/turbo off in order to
keep my pc from rebooting. It appears i have a bad capacitor
which i can hear draining power when i turn off the PSU.
On further examination my 12v rail is dropping to 11.87v
with anything above 1.2v on the cpu. Am sure this was
also the cause of some of my heating issues. Am now
looking at maybe getting a Antec TruePower TPQ-1000
1000W PSU. If anyone has any thoughts on a good PSU
please let me know. I currently run...
2 x sata HD
1 x dvd
1 x 8800GTX
4 x fans
1 x water cooling kit

Fitseries3 · Dec 17, 2008

no 1000watt needed for ANYONE. 850 is about max anyone would need.

pc power and cooling is what i suggest. im running a 860watt and it has kept the lights on with all the sick shit i have running. it has adjustable rails too.

Chicken Patty · Dec 17, 2008

@ Jupiter

What fit said is true. PC power and cooling actually tend to under rate PSU a bit, i'm sure fit can tell you in better detail. A 860W PSU can probably push cloe or about 900W of power, they even send you a sheet with like certain tests they run on the PSU before packaging it. Its crazy, when its time for me to upgrade, i'm getting one of those, the one PSU you'll ever need dude.

Fitseries3 · Dec 17, 2008

my spec sheet on my pc power 860 reads max output is 1138watts

Yeah bro, I decided to try it out bro, what can I say. Well yeah you have quadfire right?

Anyhow thats a great score. I am aiming somewhere in that area when I put the rig on water, higher cpu clock and once I flash my 4870 hopefully get some more out of it, I should have no problem getting up there, for now< I cant complain. I went from 15400 to 17400+ :toast:

anything new with your rig bro?

Depends on how high you plan to clock those cards. If you stay on air, then no, you don't need a 1000w cpu, but if you start to go more extreme with the clocks and voltmods, yes, you will need a 1000w+ psu. Kingpin, for example, uses a PCP&C 1200w AND a HX1000 at the same time. (tho the second PSU doesn't need to be that big, but I'm sure he got it free anyway. lol.) Anyway, the point is, neither one of those can power the rig at max clocks by itself.

Fitseries3 · Dec 17, 2008

true true but not many ppl on tpu need a true 1000watts.

Right. Nobody with normal cooling, anyway.

Nobody with normal cooling, less that 3xGPUs, or an i7 >.> I can't imagine...
