4ghz Club

[Yukikaze]

what x48 boards do you have in mind?

DFI DK X48 TR2S. I love DFI boards and they are priced well here.

But that will wait. 4Ghz is way more than I use for anything anyways, and I got my AMD rig to mod up first.

I was going to say if you havent thought about DFI, consider it. Great boards.

What does your AMD rig consist of ?

Hey dude I seen that you have a Q6700. I got an awesome deal for one, I just dont know how high they seem to stablilise at.

what have you gotten yours up to? Highest overclock and highest stable? Also what Voltages did you use?

Thanks man

I know they got great boards, I am currently running one (JR P45 TR2S) and I love it to death, hence why I am not in a hurry to replace it (Although I'd just stick it in my Q6700 rig, so it isn't a serious loss anyway) and 4Ghz is more than enough anyways.

The AMD is probably going to be a DFI LanParty JR 790GX M2RS and a Phenom II x4 940. The case is small, so I need mATX for a mobo. I also need a good cooler which is under 14cm tall.

thats the same setup I have. same board same CPU. You'll love the combo, they perform good together and the board is very nice. THe layout is really really good.

It sits on a mediocre board. I am also running it in a passively cooled system with a fanless IFX-14 (except two 500rpm 120mm case fans) along with a passively cooled 9600GT, so I can't really try too high. It runs 2.85Ghz at stock volts with said cooling. I haven't tried to push it at all.

Mine was also a steal, I didn't really need it, but the price was too good to pass up. Now the only things which I got and don't have four cores are my nostalgic P4 and my laptop.

Good to hear!

I sold a shitload of spares to be able to afford that 940 without my conscience telling me I got too much crap (Sold: HD3650 AGP, E1200, E2200, E5200, P5KPL-CM Mobo and some more minor things. Still got a P4 I built from spares I am trying to sell. If it sells, the DFI mobo is definitely headed my way). I put the stuff up on sale, and it was gone in two days - So I changed the planned CPU from an X3 720 to the X4 940.

Here's the case I got planned for it, btw:

Alright then, well why would you not clock that thing it was made for that.

Yea I really dont need it either but its a steal, I probably gonna pick it up then.It will be My first Intel Quad venture, im gonna pair it with a Rampage Extreme if I do get it. Hopefully 4.5GHZ is in those Quads, well at least for suicide runs

I don't want to replace the case fans and attach fans to the cooler - too much fuss for something I won't keep running at those settings. That PC is my HTPC and is completely inaudible from 50cm away. I don't want to ruin that, and even if I clock it to heck, I'll revert back to the silent config afterwards, so it seems kinda like a waste of time to do it just to clock it.

Thats cool man, i'll remember that when you need on of your runs updated

My pc is loud ATM, I have 1x90mm fan, 2x80mm fans @ full tilt, and 2x120 Thermaltake 12025A-1b1S fans running @ 2K Rpm's(36db's each) and its pretty damn loud in my room. Especially since I have no case

ive got a q9650 coming my way with an arctic cooling freezer 7 pro. im defin going for the 4ghz mark on a decent asus board. how do you guys recommend i go about this. also, to the OP, you should add whether they made 4+ ghz on air or water or some other method.

 

[Chicken Patty]

yukikaze that should be an interesting build bro. and looks like you really wanted the 940, thats a shit load of stuff you got rid off man.

Yeah. I haven't had an AMD build in ages, and those Phenom IIs are quite neat. I also have most of the things for it on hand (RAM, HDD, etc) so I am missing a board and a CPU for that build.

My Q9650 rig is a windtunnel. I have 2x140mm, 4x120mm, 2x120mm on the u120x on the CPU, 1x135mm in my PSU and the damned loud HD4870X2 cooler.

It is noisy. Usually I don't mind noise, but I really like the silent box for HTPC use.

Wow that is alot of air been moved around

I just use 2x80 for my Micro II Rad, and the TT 2x120's for the Black Ice GTS 240, and the 90mm sitting on my 8800gt's VRM.

That's the Nzxt Tempest for ya

 

[Inioch]

Inioch - E8500 C0 @ 4005

And Tempest FTW

 

[hoss331]

Tempest here also

Yup im definately gonna do that.

If you plan to add the cooling, mine are done on air, S1283.

Could I inquire as to the settings on the motherboard ? We don't have the same mobo, but you're also running a P45, so I might be able to learn something as to why my mobo won't get me past 450 on the FSB.

 

[hoss331]

What settings are you looking for? voltages? My 24/7 settings for the Q9650 at 482*9 are 1.328vc, 1.50pll, 1.28vvt, 1.30nb, with the cpu refer./GTL set at about ~65% and the nb/mch refer/GTL set to about the ~66-67%. These settings are P95 blend stable for 10+ hours. My Q9650 is a low vid 1.15 chip so yours may not work with these voltages. Also your board itself may be limited, my P5Q Dlx will only go to a little over 500fsb but the UD3P has gone to 550fsb.

edit
these are my complete settings for the UD3P

Just got this chip. Anyone know the deal with cpuz rejecting dumps lately. Ive noticed several poeple having rejected dumps and I tried this chip today at 4.3ghz, 4.99 and 5.07, which said rejected on all.

Hey that looks like my old chip, that chip smokes, i wish i still had it, best of luck with it.
Not sure on the cpuZ rejects, it always registered, i think i took it up to 5.12 Ghz or something like that....

nice runz, plus you got the right board for it!~
UD3P rocks!

HERE is the CPUz with it...

 

[hoss331]

Yep, the guy said it was your old chip. It seems cpuz has been rejecting alot of people lately, so im not to worried about it. It doesnt matter if I post the dump manually or online with high clocks or low clocks, all rejected. :shadedshu

 

[dalekdukesboy]

uhh, hell no. that doesnt qualify as stable in any way.

WHAT?? you mean this doesn't qualify??? smirk...qualify as stable that is not for this thread...I just noticed the other line from mussels...guess I can f off to the 5 ghz club too

Man you got a great combo there, i wanted that chip back to put it on the phaze,
but i couldn't afford it at the time.

keep us posted as to you rocking with it

agreed - 4GHz on AIR is a feat of voodoo, 4GHz on liquid is skill, 4GHz on DICE is easy


As to hittin the 4g mark - what kind of ASUS board you plan on getting?

Be warned, ASUS boards are overly notorious for vdroop, and you tend to have to run somewhat higher voltage settings than others with different branded mobos.

But - they make up for it with their BIOS features, and damn stable boards. Personally, I'd recommend an ASUS top-tier board . . . but they all run over $300 USD.



I'd recommend, first, to work on getting the BUS up there - keep edging the multi down until you have a BUS that you'd need to run 4G . . . if, for example, you need a BUS speed of 425 to run 4G at the CPU's highest multiplier, work it slowly up to 425 while keeping the CPU clock low . . . once you can get the SYS stable with that BUS speed, it's a lot easier to raise the multi, then raise the vcore, stress test - readjust any other voltages if need by - raise the multi again, etc.

Also, if you've never messed with GTL settings before - I'd recommend researching them, and how it affects the system . . . CPU and NSB GTL settings made a world of difference in getting this Q6600 stable at 4G on air . . . the only thing that brought my achievement down were the insane core temps I was running under load . . . this Z9700 just doesn't have the ability to dissipate that kind of heat output.
