Wow.. I just put both in my freezer in the plastic containers. Gonna take em out in the morning and let them thaw for a few hours.

this is awsome, i love speculative computing... things that shouldn't work, just working.... not to break any rules and state so if i do but.... you're really gotta give it to those guys over at extreme systems... they really don't know any limits... i see ket posts/posted there a bit... i wonder how he made out with his..

it worked for all of them

well not for all of them but for a good 60 or so percent of them... still more then did not work... i'm excited to see this how this works out.


i've throw a kit in there myself, i had 2 kits off ddr2 1150 from patriot, micron d9 chips i believe and this seems to work on them more often then not... in fact i got a whole box of bad ram i've cooked over the last couple months.. maybe a years worth 10-20 kits from various builds... i'll take a look into it.


on another note cdawalll... i'm moving away from nb ocing as it's not allowing me over 2400 no matter what i throw at it, but i want to run up the htt link... could you suggest some recomended volts for the htt link and the nb if i'm gonna run it up about 2400-2600... using 260-270 as a reference nb clock?

i've seen the freezer thing work with hard drives too!

 

[exodusprime1337]

is it possible that my "page_fault.... issue could be software related and not related to hardware?? and if it is... how do i isolate it.

HT link@1.34v should be plenty VDDNB @1.6v or so is what mine took for 3ghz

I just woke up, pulled my 940 outta the freezer and I'm letting it sit on my desk. How long should I let it thaw?

I think its 12 hours freeze, 12 hours let it sit.

My morning rage is killing me.. I wanna try it now, what's stopping me?

 

[cdawall]

its caled condensation and it likes to kill things

 

[exodusprime1337]

hey cdawall... is it possible that vista x64 is limiting my oc.... in windows 32bit i can hit 3.9 and post at 4Ghz and even bench there, in 64bit i get irq not less then or equal, and page fault in non paged area?? both leading to memory issues it seems, but there is no memory issue, i can go back to my 32bit partition and prime for ever and nothing is wrong, i hit 64 bit windows and the issues arise.. i'm lucky if i can boot into windows with it at 3.8.. if i drop to 3.7 it's fine,

 

[cdawall]

yep 64bit can do that lol

I think this is pretty good for 3.6ghz

I'm more and more impressed with this msi motherboard every day.

Update I may have missed some thing here, been playing with some other voltage setting and this chips is now doing 3.6ghz at 1.4v not bad, my voltage may have been high for no reason.

 

[jbunch07]

Looking good trt!

On a side note...I figured out why my temps where not showing up...It has something to do with ACC being enabled in the bios. whenever I enable it temps wont read but I have it disabled my temps show up. kinda odd, don't know what ACC has to do with the temp sensors? but whatever just thought I would share in case anyone else has that problem.

 

[ShadowFold]

Freezing it didn't work. I'm gonna keep it in the freezer for a few days and see if that works.

I've had my 940 at 3.60 GHz with stock vCore of 1.35v. I've benched it like crazy for hours at a time and it ran 100% stable. But once I put in a game like Left 4 Dead and/or Crysis, it would crash then restart after several minutes of game play. So 1.40v is most likely the best CPU voltage for 3.60 GHz on the 940 to guarantee 100% stability.

I had to back down from 3.60 GHz (1.40v) to 3.50 GHz (1.375v) because my OCZ Vendetta is having a hard time with my processors heat. Before it was running at a nice 25C to 35C in idle with a max load of about 45C to 50C in most cases, but now in idle mode it's running at around 45C to 50C and well past that on load. Don't know why the dramatic change in volts, I mean I am using the Antec 900 Gaming Case with all fans running on medium speed with a nice clean case, wires all tucked away etc.

Any Suggestions?

Freeze it for about 48hrs to 72hrs, and then let it properly thaw out for "AT LEAST" a full 24HRS to 36HRS. Make sure you wrap that sucker in some good freezer wrap and a good freezer bag to minimize any possible condensation/moisture.

I don’t see why it wouldn’t work after completing this, my DDR back in the day worked no problem. I really thought I blew them up as they were sort of smoking up on me once due to extreme crazy voltage increase haha.

But the Central Processing Unit is one of the most intelligent, complicated and architecturally genius piece of workmanship. So don't be surprized if it doesn't work Bro, Good Luck, I really hope it does work out for you

 

[Flyordie]

The 7750 BE is an Agena correct?

 

[ShadowFold]

Kuma but yes it's just an Agena with two cores disabled. Pretty bad ass

 

[Flyordie]

Ah, I am debating on whether to get an AM3 X4 or an AM3 X3. (which means I would put my 920 up fer sale on teh cheep and that means under the $170 Spor has his for lolz, sorry spor)... I want something that I could use for DDR3 in the future.
Anyway, will read replies tomorrow... I am going to bed.

 

[Kei]

That's funny Flyordie because I'm thinking the exact same thing right now. Not sure which I want to go with first up, but I know I'll be getting one of them fairly soon.

I would go X4 boys, especially if you plan on heavy MP gaming and movie watching off your HDTV But sometimes “IF” the price is right the X3 can’t be beat. Either way you go, you'll end up with a fantastic CPU.

 

[exodusprime1337]

so no matter what i do, or what settings i choose, as i hit 3.8.. it's not stable, i've turned the nb/htt and everything down and as soon as i hit 3.8Ghz it does me in... any idea wth is goin on... is the chip dead or something.... it doesn't work in 32bit windows either anymore... i just reinstalled and as soon as i hit 3.8 it just goes bluescreens and restarts...

did you use prime to stress 100 percent of all the core at the same time (small ft), no game does that, if it's prime stable it in game stable. They are 24/7 prime95 stable clocks.

now remember my chip, is a 945 . All cores 100 percent load prime95 , no game stresses a cpu like prime. I can bench as high as 4.0ghz and even game as high as 3.95ghz but that not stable at all the only way to know for certain is prime95 or occt. Just because you bench something in no way is that stable.
