I don't get how running high voltage can degrade a chip, can anyone explain?
I would understand if it got hot, but my chip never sees anything past 30c....

the destroyer has some issues in the BIOS from what i heard the crosshair II/M3N-HT are better

Hey CD.... my M3A79-T has been making a real low pitched whistle.... it made that sound with the 9850BE cpu... and still with PII....
the last Asus mobo i ran was silent (M3a32-mvp deluxe)
What you think the noise is?

crazyeyesreaper · Mar 26, 2009

hmm orthos only spawns 2 threads anyway to increase that or do i need to run 2 instances of orthos at the same time to full stress my cpu?

also in my asrock 790gx bios i have an option for L3 cache to use BSP all cores and something else whats does that mean?

you change any thing on any component in your rig and it shortens the life span.... the cpu when getting more voltage than comes factory will in time kill it. why?... voltage likes to jump around and when running outta its factory spec will jump erratically..... thats what i was saying in the latter.
the silicon in the chip is in a sence an insulator....

Very good explaination. :toast:

I agree with cdawall, my old Biostar did that until I got better cooling on it

id use AOD stress utility man, its made for the AMD chip, its your safest bet. As for the rest?
Beats me. :cool:

and if ya had to place a bet on it..... How much time does the mobo have? If you had to guess?

if it has the low, like i mean lowwww dog hearing whistle noise.... you think if i loop it into the Cpu's H2o cooling, the noise will go away?

Stick some better cooling on it, or jerry-rig a few fans on to the cooling you already have to bring down temps and the sound should disappear.

I'd been running with a cooler that was just short, and left one MOSFET uncovered, whenever I overclocked I'd get the same sound, I bought the correct cooler and hooked up a few quiet 40mm fans to it and the sound completely disappeared.

crazyeyesreaper · Mar 26, 2009

ive tried using AOD it hardlocks the system besides i dont trust software overclocking im just trying to find someone with my board whom as a little experience mucking around with its settings my system is extremely touchy for somereason and heat isnt an issue after 35minutes of using gromacs core on orthos cpu is is sitting at 33'c and all temps are fairly low not a single temp is above 40'c even my 4870X2 hmm ill tinker around a bit worst case senario i have to reinstall windows again

As you see in the pix..... the Mosfets are cooled by the old mobos mosfets fan....
Any other thoughts? Anybody? :respect:

Well if your just running AOD to stress the system....(not o/c'n) you'll be fine..... trust me, i have tones of test time using it and if it hard locks.... your Way unstable.... try adding a single click to the cpu volts..... you'll be better off mate :toast:

Who's that directed to CD?

Bluefox1115 · Mar 26, 2009

there's small kinks in the tubing, possibly a cause for higher temps..

tjwo94 · Mar 26, 2009

Okay cdawall heres a bit of progress news. Grabbed a stable 3.570ghz @ 210x17 HT-1890
Memory is running 560 @ 5-5-5-15-22 NB-2940 Can you offer a link to a resource that will explain how to fully adjust the RAM timings. I'm going to have to learn how as I refuse to be stuck at a mere 3.5ghz.

Recieved my new COSMO-S case today, installed and running. It's pretty sweet. The liquid cooling shit will be here tomorrow and friday! I'll post some pics of the sweet install.

I don't know...personally I'd use a fan that blows THROUGH the MOSFET cooler, not down on top of it, but that's me. If you touch the MOSFET cooler how warm/hot is it?

they work pretty good i have the same thing

Fair enough, not having had an Asus board since Socket A I wouldn't know heh. All the boards I've had with MOSFET coolers have had something with their name on or whatever on the top so it blocks airflow, so using a fan that blows through the cooler is a better option.

there warm but not hot... the cooler in pulling the air through the Mosfet and also i have a 120mm fan directed to the ram and the mosfet for added cooling
