I had not been there in so long I didn't even remember what a roller coaster was. Funny thing is I flew over there and back

 

[IronRuler]

You flew to Tampa from Miami? It's only a 4 1/2h car ride max.

Now that the issues are sorted out with the rig. Going to do some more testing.

here is what I got from my daily 4Ghz setting and beyond.

 

[Fitseries3]

everyone try this...

get a good solid OC like 4.3 going.

remember your settings.

reset the bios and try the same OC again and see if the settings are same or different.

also....

try moving your ram around and reseating your cpu cooler.

report back with your findings. im speculating an odd result.

No change in settings I used to achieve 4.3GHz a 2nd and 3rd time. Cooler is a Mega, ram is crucial with D9JNLs.

I've at one point done this I believe and no change either.

my mobo came back from rma, i just loaded my saved user settings when i got it setup again.. been online without a reboot for 3-4 days and benched it to hell and back @ 4gz.. same old results.

 

[Fitseries3]

try running WCG or something for a day then lowering voltages.

see if its still stable.

The "D.A." move of the day:

I got my ECP for my Classified yesterday in the mail. I didn't get a chance to put it in until after the kids went to bed, but I finally got it in around 8:30 pm. I didn't do anything with it except use it to turn on the system and make sure it was working. Anyway, I got up this morning and opened up CPU-z to show you guys a screen-shot of where I've been running my system at lately (4.3GHz BTW), when I noticed that the vcore was running at 1.72v!!!

Turns out those three LEDs on the ECP panel aren't supposed to on all the time. It ran like that for about 10 hours :shadedshu

I have no idea what to say t_ski... I really wish there were better instructions with some of the stuff you can get for enthusiast equipment.

 

[t_ski]

I just hope I didn't do any permanent damage. I was on air after all

Technology is dangerous in the hands of people (like me) who don't stop to RTFM

 

[Fitseries3]

its one of the best batches. more info via pm

Binge, question for you or anyone reading. Your hyper x ram is tempting me for no other reason than it's expensive and blue.

I recently water cooled my system and overclocked it to 3990 due to a lot of web surfing but wanted to give a shot at a 4.5 or higher to get some experience. I've read through this thread probably 3 times, won't do me much good till I get my hands dirty as it's all flying over my head.

So question is, would better ram make overclocking any easier?

I have this.

Haven't had experience with any, but I personally think the Hyper X's would be a better choice as far as overclocking which is what you asked.

Yeah I don't doubt that, just wondering if the ram would ease the pain of higher overclocks/benches. Ya know, I wanna blue screen and reboot 20 times instead of 100 times before I say "Look what my hardware did!"
