i had a stock cooler like that. I got it from CP. I used it on my x2 4200+@3.1ghz. It didn't give me a problem.

I did just fine with my old Phenom 9150e on one of those too. heh Dont remember seeing any load temps but idle was usually 36-42C... I miss me ole quad

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

finally got my rig stable and im happy with it

finally got my rig stable and im happy with it

what settings did you end up with dude?

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

well the FRIO at 2800rpm i did get 4ghz stable with 2400nb at 1.525v 1.3v with a max temp in OCCT of 53'c so yea im rather proud of that since the delta fans have another 700rpms till they max out and at max speed load at 50'c with the FRIO at 4000mhz 2400nb

24/7 settings are as follows

not the words greatest overclock but i know for a fact i can push with a bit of help 4ghz 2600nb with the deltas maxed and still be under 55'c full load so for air cooling i think thats pretty damn good considering my chip is HOT.

overall i can do better for sure but i dont see the need to push the hardware any further i know what she can do and thats all i wanted. I happy to have hit 4ghz on a 940be and on a 965be now to sit tight till the ati 6800 series released grab 2 of those then a bulldozer or sandybridge chip late 2011.

also for the record some ppl might prefer longer testing but ill be blunt if this chip is gonna fail under stress while overclocking she ALWAYS does it at the 35-45min mark for some reasons LinX OCCT Prime 95 if you have a setting wrong thats where she BSODs from a bad OC so id day shes stable.

also for kicks i ran MSI kombuster dx11 multi gpu to test full system stability she was rock solid with the 12v line only dropping from 11.97 to 11.8 under full system load

Bro, it's got a good combination of CPU speed and memory/NB speed. The rig should feel great with those clocks.

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

it fluctuates alot but thats with apps running in the back ground tends to jump around a bit

8.82-9.02 mem score
latency 63-66

 

[de.das.dude]

close all your apps and disable amd cool n quiet. then run benchmarks.

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

meh it was just a quick maxxmem run to compare with JRracinfans system im not trying to show off as id need another what 400mhz on the cpu and 200 on the NB before i could start doing that this was just a slight show of what i have ill do real benches later

 

[de.das.dude]

i was thinking of using ice to cool during OCing sessions. i want to get an aluminium water container that fits into the space provided for the heatsink and put ice in it. but a small lid, and put weight on it(so that the ice stays at the bottom). problem will be with the RAM and chipset.

make the alu can a solid walled copper bin, add masses of insulation to the board, and change the ice for
a) dry ice
b) liquid nitrogen
then google for "LN2 Benchmark"

ice will melt very fast, and wont get too cold. if you want sub ambient temps on the long, you will at least need a watercooling loop with a peltier element, or a bong cooler (+insulation). anything under that, wont cut it.

 

[de.das.dude]

yes and then... go mad,...

 

[mastrdrver]

hyper pi?

edit:

http://img.techpowerup.org/100912/Capture248.jpg


nice little update to superpi.

FWIW, thats at 3.6Ghz. i dropped 200Mhz down to play around with lower voltages on NB.

Yes I use Hyper Pi to see how stable I am when pushing up the overclock. Run 32M if it passes you should be getting close. Same holds true on Intel.

This is good advice...ice will only last MINUTES, if that long. I got a mere 30 minutes out of 6KG of ice, once.

 

[de.das.dude]

lol.

dry ice can be found at ice cream parlours. you can try that.

Yeha, I got a phase-change cooler I made, and then had a refeer tech fill. Used to be a slushy machine...I thought it was a fitting conversion.


I also saw that sno.lcn has a Kingpin F1EE up for sale, for a VERY nice price, too. Someone wanting to get into extreme benching best snap that up! Any AMD chip will scream under that pot and some LN2...it should be much better than the Koolance V2 pot I've got.

 

[Hunt3r]

I can not put my memories at 1700Mhz
Memory clock mode - manual
memclock value - 400Mhz
Dram timing - BOTH
TCL - 7
TRCD - 8
TRP - 7
TRTP - AUTO
TRAS - 18
TRC - 20
MEMORY OVERVOLTAGE 160500

help-me

thanks

 

[erocker]

You need to set a higher RAM divider in the bios.

 

[Hunt3r]

How much?

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

400= 800 533=1066 667=1333 800=1600 etc etc if my brain serves me right

but right now your running ur ram at 800mhz double the CPU-Z speed to get actual ram speed

After a long disappearence - i'm back ! What's up, techies ?

Next week (Sunday actually) going to buy this mobo : http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=1g8o5Sh3csqM5M8u&templete=2 + the Mushkin RedLines 2x2GB DDR3 1600MHz memsticks. The only thing that worries me is my PSU - Corsair 1000W. After i'll purchase those i'll go for GTX 480 & Phenom II X6 1090T BE. Will the afformentioned PSU will be good for delivering power to those (2xGTX 480's later) or should i go for AX1200W ? Corsair also recommends TX950 among the later (HX1000W & AX1200W).

Anyway - long time no see, i'm working on the un-f***ing-human job, got sun burns on my face cause of it, at home people affraid that i have something similar to skin cancer although it's just a deep tan & life under the sun is f***ed up. But what the f**k am i talking about - it's a global warming phase. In Eilat (Red Sea, near Egypt) record temps - 50+ degrees C & 40 degrees C @ shadowy areas people say.

P.S. After i'll purchase the mobo & ram i'm going for the Swiftech's WC kit with 3 fans rad. Time for something new & improved over the air cooling. Take care all, hope you didn't missed me much.

*EDIT*

30 degrees C in Tel-Aviv @ day, 19 C @ night. Those are temps @ Israeli autumn. Vacation anyone ? Also my PC crushed on me few times cause of this heat. Sucks.

The Nvidia site says you need 600w for one and too bad the never list the Amps. heh

Plz check out how I got my temps down... my posts are down the page abit..
Trouble overclocking GTX260

 

[Hunt3r]

400= 800 533=1066 667=1333 800=1600 etc etc if my brain serves me right

800mhz it can not start windows, I put 1700MHz, can you help me?

 

[Velvet Wafer]

800mhz it can not start windows, I put 1700MHz, can you help me?

tried lowering the timings to 9-9-9-24-28, or gave a notch more voltage to the NB and/or Mem,already?

maybe your IMC is acting up... and, because you got ripjaws and AMD i would try to clock for timings... bandwith (MHZ) is not so important for Phenoms, as it is for Core Procs and i7´s
i would try to get 1333 with the lowest timings possible, if i were you
