I guess I should redo my question. Is it worth being at 4 GHz 24/7 if i have to set my cpu voltage to 1.448v and I reach 87 C during stress testing?

That's a good question, 30-50C is pretty normal.

Are you on water?

I will have to wait to tell you as I cannot remember and I am currently at my parent's house in Anchorage. I did leave both rigs crunching while I am gone though

dcf... I would not be comfortable with my cpu getting that hot, but more importantly people on air have those same temperatures! I have no idea what's going on with your chip/loop, but something is at fault here for those outrageous temps (my C0 with 1.4V @ 4.2GHz would never get that hot) and you should ask yourself what you can do to figure out what's going on.

It's a matter of comfort. If you want it to last... take better care of it and drop the OC, but if you just want to use the chip until you feel something better will come out in say 2 years time then there's really no need to change anything if anything less is below your preference.

Rock on buddy :toast:

I have to agree with Binge, Something seems amiss in your loop. I have a few Q's for you about it. Are you running any die? What fans do you have, and what speed do you run them at? Is your pump turned all the way up? Are you sure your block is seated properly, and thermal compound applied properly? Are there any kinks/restrictions in your lines?

dcf-joe · Sep 5, 2009

I don't think anything is wrong with my loop. There are no kinks or anything, and it is all seated together.
However, I do only have a two fan radiator, and each fan gives out 110 cfm. I do believe my ambient temperature might be the problem, I have my house set to about 30 C to cut down on bills. So, it might be the warm air I am using to cool my water. I will see what turning my pump up does.

So, would you advise me keep my proc like this if I want to keep it alive for at least another year, and I don't get a better radiator or something?

single 295 on the r2g...

Cool, I can wait

Fitseries3 · Sep 5, 2009

i cant seem to get any more out of the r2g.

i dont recommend this board for multi gpu setups. i cannot get 2x295s to run without major problems and both cards run fine in each slot when alone but not 2 together. NB gets RED hot when both cards are in.

i need a good bit more voltage in this board compared to the GB ud5 clock for clock. its actually quite disappointing.

r2g gets a 6.7 in my book... gb ud5 - 9.8

mudkip · Sep 5, 2009

why did you sell the ud5 anyway?

Fitseries3 · Sep 5, 2009

to get the new revision ud5

mudkip · Sep 5, 2009

yeah heard that's going to take a while lol

Fitseries3 · Sep 5, 2009

i think im going to try the p6t7

I just did some benching today and finlly hit 5 ghz on my W3540 with a stock Vapochill LS

asus board owners...

what are you guys needing to run 4.5ghz with a D0? tell me your settings.

somethings not right here with my board.

the UD5 could run all day at 4.5 with lower volts than im needing just to boot.

how much do you need on the UD5 for 4.5 GHz? HT on or OFF?

Fitseries3 · Sep 5, 2009

UD5 - HT on 4.5ghz with 1.38v vcore, 1.2v IOH, 1.25v vtt, 1.71v dram @ 1290mhz - stable and benchable.

r2g - HT on 4.5ghz with 1.46v vcore, 1.27v IOH, 1.265v vtt(qpi/dram), 1.71v dram @ 1290mhz - boots but fails cpu tests/p95/sPI/occt in seconds. bsods often

temps are reasonable.

hmm, shouldn't be that big of a difference I would say.

r2g is just a turd.

time to sell.

Hey FIT, any suggestions on what software to use to overclock a 9800GX2?
