yeah so the power went out today while windows was booting... i thought no big deal ya know, power comes back up... windows BSOD's right before the gui comes up.. i searched and searched for a floppy drive and working floppy disk to reinstall my raid controller drivers... found a...

well i can post all the way up to 3.93GHz now... but prime crashes in minutes... 3.8 is rock solid though, im gonna leave it at that... i think my board is holding me back as it wont give any more than ~1.45 real volts under load to the CPU.

raid is great... i run 3x20GB 7200rpm IDE drives in RAID:0 for my OS/temp drive.. it's nice.

it's doing 3.8 at 1.42V which is actually undervolted, i might play around with it tommorow, give it some volts and see if i can break te 4GHz marker :)

thanks... i really considering building a whole new PC, but now im pretty happy...i think i'll hold off a littlel longer... this 930D @ 3.8GHz really isnt too bad at all... and i dont game, so the vid card is enough for everything i do..

sweet :) i had a 7600GT, all the caps started leaking... sent it back to them, and they sent me back an 8600GT, pretty sweet :) go EVGA! also for some reason i can now raise my overclock a little higher.... im stable at 3.8GHz now, when 3.55GHz is the best i could do with the old card :)...

the question is would the chip do 1066fsb? my presler will do pretty close to 1000fsb, and i think im power supply limited because there's lots of them that do 1066+

cleaner power is always gonna be your friend in any audio situation... but with a nice rotel amp like that i wouldnt worry about it, it's gonna deliver plenty of clean power...

i cant think of ANY reason anyone would need to use ME.... i mean, 98SE was way better.

were all four cores doing independent tasks is the real question, or was it just windows SMP working to spread the workload. (but not independent proprietary tasks on the cores (if you get what im saying)

and if anyones looking for a good budget power supply get the Okia 550 watter, its def. underrated... it's rated at 2x 26v 12v rails, but it's def. withstanding more than the current draw it's rated at, i've got a delta high cfm (something like 90CFM), 92mm fan for intake, 2 of the same fans for...

i dont know what to trust on this new version of speedfan either it detects more temps than even everest, or the ASUS probe util that came with the board... like lower ambient, and upper ambient, but it seems upper ambient replaced what used to show up as AUX, which is where my power...

they both come from NVIDIA 7600GT according to CPU-Z, one is the core, because i can verify it with the nvidia control panel reading, but i have no idea what the other one is...all i can assume is memory maybe? who knows? core is at 51C, and the other temp is at 46C, only the latest version...

funny my 2.4b outperforms an Opteron..... well in floating point calcs anyway.. gets beat in arith. raped the Extreme edition though

oh i remember, it was an arctic cooler freezer 7 pro here's a pic of that PC

im trying to remember what cooler i used for this setup, give me a few and i'll remember...

nah you wont need drive cooling until your into multi (more than 2) drive raid arrays and such...

those are good temps assuming stock intel cooler.

i always have found that making a divx is the best tool for testing a CPU/MEMORY overclock, you might want to try upping the NB voltage a notch, or the CPU VTT up just a notch.

hey will one of you guys do a Super PI 1M bench, i want to see if it does it quicker than my presler 2x2MBL2 @ 3.7GHz

try each of your ram sticks individually, i bet it's a ram thing.

why dont you just set it so there's no screensaver/power savings on the monitor....

is it present on all video inputs?

well for what's it's worth i believe the very first ddr module was PC2100 and operated at 166x2

as much ram in as little slots as possible (well 2 for dual channel) works best, that will yeild the best overclock... more sticks of ram = more electrical draw on the board, and more work for the northbridge to do.

im a temperature freak. and it pays off, i've got origitnal Penitum 1's that still work perfectly fine, i've always went that extra step to keep the chip as cool as possible....anyway the best thing i've ever done to drop temps to add a custum "mod" if you will... i took an air ionizer/fan, it...

i had one before i went pelt cooled, i put the same high CFM delta fan on it that i have running on my pelteir now, made a HUGE difference....but it's loud. if you dont mind i loud PC throw a 100+ CFM high rpm 80mm on there i think i used zip ties to keep mine in place. i think i used to hit...

apples to figs

its better to leave all that crap alone and just find out what voltage your CPU needs the old fashion way.

i would think as long as it's sealed up, you'd never need to really clean it.

i think i win the coolest cpu award...even though i some of you guys are clocked way higher than me.... and im pelteir cooled... i dont know if it's my board or chip holding me back...could even be my psu...max i can hit is 3.71GHz stable..

im way to lazy to take it apart and take pics, it's a coolit freezone, with a delta 65cfm 80mm on it instead of the factory low rpm fan.

i guess pelteir cooling is a form of air cooling so i'll post up my rig... the huge thing attached to the side is actually an air ionizer, thing is is moves some SERIOUS CFM, i have it blowing across the vid card, NB sink, and pelteir sink.. temps: ghetto cooling at it's finest:

bump

i had an AC freezer pro before i went with my custum pelteir setup.. the trick to that cooler is to get heat away from and tons of airflow blowing across the cooler, i managed to get idle temps in the 30's, overclocked to 3.55GHz with a presler 65nm 930D, i later went pelteir cooled, and also...

thirded

nice OC

nah those are great air cooled temps....

so you've tried a different PSU already? then yeah, i'd imagine mobo or CPU, could be ram though too...there's always the chance. also if there's onboard vid, and a AGP or PCIE vid card s well, pull it out and use the onboard.

so that's a FRIDGE!!! fucking awesome
