Thanks you two I will have to try and get one of those two or something else if it gets added to the list of good fans I can afford. I have to go now the back pain is getting to be to much
and I need to take something for it and rest I'll come back later and look at your replies.
Thanks again Bob

 

[Supreme0verlord]

No prob! I have to go to sleep now anyway so I won't be back on for a while.

The S1284 is really the best HS IMO, get that and you will not regret it!

 

[cdawall]

Forgive cdawall he thinks he is allowed to post more than one entry to the top 5, in which he is not!

getting your ES to many differing speeds and expecting to post them all in the top 5 is thickness on you part.

Plus he cant get his validated, i took the time to get mine validated!

But it does require actually trying mind you...

they were 2 completely different chips first off and considering i have full 3D benchmarks run at 4.4ghz i still hold the highest oc no matter what. if you would like i can go get another bag of DICE and run again. i cant get mine validated and neither can half of the other people here. if you would like to be an ass fine 4.72 validated just fine


X4 945ES @4.722ghz validated


X4 945ES @4.22ghz validated (notice how the cpu ID is different this is cause its not the same cpu as above)


X3 720BE @4062 validated

OK your all messn with me now
So, im looking for a test mobo for 4x1GHz ram and a PII 940 cpu that runs 3.88GHz all day on this Asus Mobo.... What would ya'll recommend? i want to go higher....
I dont want AM3 DDR3 board since its so marginal in the tests against the overclocked DDR2 1066MHz ram.
Oorrrrr i can go the I7 path.....

Depends on the DDR3 ram you are getting, which would you prefer? ............

1. DDR2 1100mhz @ 5-5-5-15 (probably 2T) and probably at 2.2v
2. DDR3 1823mhz @ 7-7-7-18 @ 1T and probably at 2.1v

If you choose number 2, would you be prepared to pay more than twice as much for the memory? That about sums it up mefinks.

I looked at your two X4 945ES and you have two different version of cpu-z that will cause you to show two different chip types, When I used 1.49 I got a different chip for my X3 720 then I did when I used 1.50.

they are two different chips if you read through the whole thread i sold my 1st one and got a new one

So CDA, I could really do with your advice, for some strange reason, the thought of i7 is not exciting me which is kind of strange really, next month is major upgrade month for me (6 month cycle excluding Gfx cards), now I either stick with what i have in my specs, if I do i will upgrade case to Coolermaster HAF, go onto water and upgrade mobo to Gigabyte EP45T Extreme to give me upto an extra 200mhz on the CPU or........ with your knowledge of the 945 albeit an ES, should I look for challenges in the Red camp, and if so, what do you understand to be the VERY best AM3 motherboard out there (or will be out there by the release of the chips)..... and realistically what do you think a 945 could offer speed wise and benchable on water?

thanks for any help you can offer.

 

[ShadowFold]

M4A79T would be THE best but who knows, maybe they have a 790A Crosshair III cooking. I would rather have that.
Also, I would wait until April for the 955, I've been hearing some good things about it.

on water the best you will do for 24/7 is 4ghz unless something changes with the release of the C3 mem controller

best mobo....none yet

 

[Flyordie]

Yeah, the memory controller really probably shouldn't of been done in 37nm. It should have been kept at like 40nm or the same as the rest of the CPU @ 45nm...

 

[tjwo94]

Ordered a new case and watercooling shit, should get sometime in the next week. Will attempt some more overclocking at that time and try to hit a stable 4.0 or close 24/7.

Picked up a COOLER MASTER COSMOS S to replace my new Cooler Master 690(if anyone wants to purchase lemme know) I also will have the oh so nice new Zalman 120mm Fan and heatsink for the AM2+ if anyone wants to buy that.

Going to run the Danger Den Black Ice GTX360 Triple Rad. Should keep my Koolance CPU-350 AC Acrylic Liquid Cooling CPU Block nice and cool. Plan on stacking a 120mm fan on top and below the EK Dual Bay SPIN Reservoir w/ Flow Meter to help cool the water. Only running a single Danger Den DD-CPX Pro 12V 3 Pin Powered Pump - 237 GPH for this setup as I will only be cooling the cpu at this time. When I can afford the GPU blocks I may add another pump and reservior and keep that loop seperate.

 

[tjwo94]

Is there a single program out there that will ACCURATELY report the individual and/or overall coretemps on the 940?

 

[cdawall]

there is only one temp probe on the phenom II's not one for each core like the older chips

Yeah, the memory controller really probably shouldn't of been done in 37nm. It should have been kept at like 40nm or the same as the rest of the CPU @ 45nm...

nothing wrong with it my 945 is running strong after a month @ 3.2vdimm

 

[tjwo94]

Okay, so which prog is going to accuratly report the temp? I the asus probe II software moniter accurate to your understanding, or did you ever run it with your Crosshair II?

 

[cdawall]

PC probe is pretty close but wont work with windows 7 so it pissed me off

 

[tjwo94]

lol, yeah I found that out too, I was not at all pleased.

 

[Supreme0verlord]

Hey cdawall, how much voltage did you have to push through your 720 to get it to 4Ghz?

 

[cdawall]

Hey cdawall, how much voltage did you have to push through your 720 to get it to 4Ghz?

stock vcore for the validation for benchmarks it took 1.55v

 

[Flyordie]

eek... i have yet to throw over 1.5V at mine.

 

[Supreme0verlord]

Hmm, that's less than I thought it would be lol.

What's the recommended max safe voltage for these chips?

 

[erocker]

Mine is OCCT stable at 4ghz 1.55v's. 1.55v seems to be very common for 4ghz.

What's the recommended max safe voltage for these chips?

1.55V

 

[Supreme0verlord]

Ah ok, just getting an idea of how high I can push this thing, with max safe volts that is. I don't want to kill mine anytime soon.

 

[Flyordie]

Kinda sad for you all... You should condition your chips before you use em. 1.45V to get to 4Ghz on my end. Although 1.475V prolly wouldn't hurt it. Soon as I get my DFI board back (DFI's RMA is difficult.... to say the least...) I will get some screens and validations.

Don't be, I'm perfectly content. Sure I can boot at your voltage, and even run applications.
