my point exactly....

a few mins... fine. an hour or so.... fine.

but a few days? WTF... come on. stop wasting your time.

at least join our WCG team and crunch to save a life if you're that obsessive about it.

use the computer for something that makes you enjoy it. not waste power for nothing other than math calculations that help no one other than yourself

that is my stress test, ever since I joined WCG ive been crunching away at 4ghz stable

Cant beat that stability test, plus you are doing good while at it. Prime? wasting precious CPU cycles while doing nothing but adding to your elec. bill! Prime 95 = crap!

good idea very good idea.

well im not entirely saying its crap.

im just saying there is no need to run it for days on end.

I know dude, I exxagerated. its is a great stress test, but yeah 99.9% of people over do it. Prime 95 is a god, if it fails, you fail! wtf :roll:

I'm thinking this bickering is just stupid. Please stop.

I do follow some of the old school overclocking rules, similar to what Tatty mentioned above. That's the overclocking hobby for me, an overclock that if functional 24/7 because it is truly stable. Now, some people who do 8 hours plus of prime are just obsessive. I do agree that beyond OCCT/prime, WCG is an excellent stability tool that is incredibly useful and helpful.

for what its worth...

here's what i paid for my setup....

ECS x58 - $150
3x2gb crucial ram - $81
i7 920 - $229
2x gtx295s - $1145
enermax 1250watt psu - $289
xigy DK - $45
2x ocz vertex 30gb ssds - $225
samy dvdrw - $21

and what have i shown?

cheap ram runs 100% OCed with little effort and has same chips as top $ ram,
cheap mobo OCs as well as top $ ones,
and what we all know already...

i7 920 is best cpu for the money hands down.

EDIT: rofl! my video cards cost more than everything else added together.

Saying it again. You paid $150. That is a $260 mobo.

Fitseries3 · May 12, 2009

i've found more than 5 of them for $150 now. i just decided to get one to see how it worked.

It's $190 on Newegg.

Used doesn't count. Most people prefer to buy new.

Still, I think I'd rather buy a Gigabyte or DFI for $10 more.

Binge · May 12, 2009

$190 isn't bad for what fit is describing. I'm really happy the boards have less of a gap than most people think. To push a 920 isn't all that expensive a proposition.

Fit I really appreciate you showing us a new board. There is a review on Guru3D for the board that praises it highly. If anyone is interested I suggest you look there as the review is detailed and thorough.

Chicken Patty · May 12, 2009

took some of FITS advise and well of course all of you and well I know I have un needed voltage there, but I'll go up little by little see what this puppy can do with some newly learned secrets

THis should help bring out a couple of more points crunching :toast:

How'd you get your hands on a Classified? They handle the cpu overclock like mad! Dual 8-pin power source's help dont they.

Fitseries3 · May 12, 2009

not mine.

Seriously, Crucial is fast!
I ordered on the 10th, scheduled delivery is today!

If the RAM speed is anywhere near the delivery speed this will rawk!

Hey mudkip, take a look at my 4.55GHz OC I posted @super pi 1m thread. Something is wrong with that OC if it's that slow for both 1M and 32M

Fitseries3 · May 13, 2009

geeez....

Nevermind Mudkip I'm on drugs I guess. Seriously I'm sorry, you did a good job.

So I've figured my 24/7 overclock is going to be around 3.6 at 1.33Vcore, with ram running at 7/7/7 1.6V. My temps are idling at 45C and loading at 75 so I'm not to thrilled with that but until I can upgrade my loop I'm sitting still.
Any suggestions on oc or lowering my temps? Here's a screen shot if you liked to see the numbers:

Also any suggestions for my loop would be greatly appreciated. I'm thinking of upgrading the rad to a 120.3 and better fans. Also thinking about a top, but have no idea how to place it/utilize it.(Help here for sure)
