Ok so I bought some pc8500 (2x 1gig) memory a while ago and stock voltage is 2.1v and 1066mhz on it. So I decided to buy another set from newegg to jump up to 4gig. On newegg's site the specs said that it runs stock at 2.1v. When UPS dropped the package off today I found on the box that it says...
680i mobo
2gig pc-8500 1066mhz
e6850 @ 3.6ghz
x2 8800gtx stock clocks
thermalright ultra 120 extreme with 120mm fan
Voltages:
Vcore - 1.4v
CPU FSB - 1.5v
nForce SPP - 1.50v
nForce MCP - auto
HT nForce SSP <-> MCP - auto
Memory - 2.1v
max CPU temp was 60c on full load while using...
Ok so I have overclocked my intel e6850 by increasing the FSB from 1333 to 1512 x 9 which got the CPU to 3.4ghz. When I take a look at CPU-Z it shows the multiplier changing from x6 to x9 randomly. Is this normal? When I use an applications or game does it jump up to x9? I also wanted to know if...
Ok so I just updated my bios on my 680i mobo so that I could use the new 45nm CPUs. Bios are set to defaults. So next I install a new e8400. Boot up my computer and everything runs like normal. I get to my desktop and my icons show up and then boom I get a black screen and it doesnt go away...
Tigerdirect still has them for sale $399 tax free. Newegg was selling them for around $350 +tax. So when you think about it they are around the same price.
So there is some new bios updates for the 680i mobos so that they can run 45nm CPUs. I was just wondering how well these updates are working. I have heard of many people running into problems. No video booting up, crashes, bricked mobos, etc. So I was just wonder if people are have any success...
I'm using a Thermalright ultra 120 extreme on my intel e6850 cpu on stock clocks. On idle my temp is at a steady 45c. I was wonder if 45c idle was good for this cooler. I want to know if I should take off the heatsink and reset it.
The best air cooling for the 8800s would have to be the thermalright HR-03 heatsink. Make sure when you buy this that you have enough room. Also make sure to buy a 92mm+ fan to mount on it. ROFL beat me to the punch,,,
