Noctua U12p can be mounted in any direction on Am2 motherboards.

Thanks I will look into it. It's too bad I can't make the OCZ Vendetta 2 mount away from the RAM.

Ok decided to get it running tonight.

Did you underclock or you are testing how far you can push the HTT (FSB).

Thats as far as I am gonna go on the stock cooler.
Voltage= 1.35V CPU
DRAM= 2.1V
NB= 1.175V

The prev boot was just a test to get drivers n stuff installed... CnQ was enabled so it just got wind of that for the multi decrease. ;-)

You can get 240mhz on stock NB voltage FYI and I usually keep CnQ off no matter what. I get higher minimum frames in everything with it off. Also if you don't like messing with memory voltage/clocks etc like me set the bus to 240 and the memory mhz to 667 and you will get 800mhz.

Also save up for this beast!

I get below 20c idle temps and mid 30c load temps with mine!

That won't fit in a mid tower case just like the OCZ Vendetta II. But it looks like a great cooler.

Fits in my Antec 300 which is a mid tower

Well I have the Antec 900 and I cannot close the side door if I install my OCZ Vendetta 2 CPU cooler. This is one reason why I am getting the 1200 gaming case along with much better cooling.

 

[ShadowFold]

I can close my 300 with the S1284EE The Vendetta is a lot bigger. Xigmatek designs their stuff well.

O.K. in the picture it looked just as big as the OCZ.

here are a few reviews on it

I did figure this one out...
I modded the CPUID in the BIOS to trick it into thinking it was an ES and it gave me all the way up to x30 for a multi... think I should try to set it at x15 and see what I get?

 

[ShadowFold]

Sure? I have no idea what will do tho.. If you kill it I can give you all the necessaries for RMA

I doubt it would kill the board... maybe the CPU... on my server atm... which I hate using for this but oh well... (This= web usage)
Anyway... Ima save it for tomorrow.. I need sleep.
lykhig tomorrow

If you get below 20C, that means your room temp has to be below 68F. How does yours perform in a hot environment? My S1283 seems to struggle a bit in the heat with my 6400+.

I can close my 300 with the S1284EE The Vendetta is a lot bigger. Xigmatek designs their stuff well.

The Vendetta 2 is a rebadged Xigmatek w/ a design cut into the back of the fins.

 

[Super XP]

So the OCZ Vendetta 2 doesn't perform well?

Sure it does. It's a rebadged HDT- S1283. All they did was cut a V shape out of the back of the fins. That's absolutely the only thing that's different. You don't need to buy the HDT-S1284, just throw a better fan on yours. They claim it's moving something like 80cfm, but in all actuality, it's probably closer to 50cfm.

Something like this would be good. it's cheap, too. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811999965

omg please help... i have no idea why this is happening.

i posted in here and in another place a few days ago about my moving from 2x1gig sticks to 2x2 gig sticks and i'm not longer stable at the oc i was at.

i used to be able to hit 3.9 24 hours prime stable at 200x19.5. now with the 2x2gig sticks at they're native 2.1v and i've even tried all the way up to 2.34v i can't get the computer to post at 3.8.... the closest i can come to my oc is 3750 and then it just blue screens during boot, giving me the error "page fault in non paged area" or what not, then it restarts... the odd thing is i installed windows completely fine on 2x2 at 1160Mhz and even primed it here but it won't handle it at the oc nor will the cpu oc handle the memory at any speed... with these 2 sticks in even if i boot them at ddr2 800 the computer still throws this error???? what did i do...


here's what i have done, tried my old settings with both the new sticks which crash, and my old sticks which boot fine

tried with bot kits at ddr2 533,667,800,1066 all at 5,5,5,15 which is above or equal to minimum specs for the speed of 1066, the old sticks(2x1g) are fine, the 2x2 gig are not fine???

can anybody help with this... i've tried ever setting... i'm not even oc'ing the ram and i'm no longer stable??

 

[eidairaman1]

look at DIY Street for info on that i do recall that greater capacities of ram does lower the overall overclock you can obtain, i think you have to increase voltage but im not 100% sure on that, go to DIYstreet and DFI Club for such info.

 

[exodusprime1337]

why diy stree?? i don't have a dfi board??

 

[exodusprime1337]

and can anybody tell me if this memory has 128mb ic's?? my mb manual tells me he boad doesn't support memory that has 128mb ic's but this memory is on their qvl list... and is listed by newegg as compatible?

 

[exodusprime1337]

oddly enough i'm finding people saying that i need to set trfc to 53-54... the odd thing is is that i can only set it to auto-4 in the bios... wtf???

 

[Flyordie]

Yeah, higher densities result in lower OC's alot of time..
Its why I went with 4x1GB instead of 2x2GB.

Hmm I wonder what is I wanna see how high it goes!
