*** The Official [H]ard SuperPi Challenge ***

Strap the stock cooler back on your card and send it to me and I'll do the mods for you if you want and just use the stock cooler to boot up and check the voltage. Don't worry, setting it to something like 1.85v with teh stock cooler isnt going to damage it to turn on the comp.....the load temp will just skyrocket.

PM me if you're interested in having the work done. as I've got all 4 mods done to my XT-PE and it's goin' great.

 

Sorry bro, I haven't seen a lot for "fast" ECC memory.....kinda one of the things you're gonna have to learn to live with if you're using a setup that's meant for workstation or server use...and overclocking it to this extent.....it's not entirely what it's built for.....and many manufacturers realise that and aren't necessarily in the market for things like PC4400 ECC memory....the market just isn't there.

Be sure that when the time draws nearer what kind of cooling you're thinking of.....whether it be regular watercooling, or even something as simple as an ATI4 Silencer. When the time rolls around and your card shows up I'll be sure to take my time with the mods and test it out thouroughly.....but lets not worry about all that quite yet, we can start deciding between us what you want to do for cooling after xmas before the card gets sent over.

 

Seeing as we've already got this going via PMs I wanna take the conversation to a close here for the sake of cleanliness. The ATI4 will be a lot better then teh stock cooler on the load temps.....and it pretty much is the best way to go...short of watercooling.

 

Why not run 32M.......thx for your input, but no 1M times are being posted up.

 

Look at his dram ratio.....3:4.....

236 x 4 = 944 / 3 = 314.66MHz

 

No, 1:1 is faster or "higher" then 3:2 or 5:4....but not 3:4. You're just getting it a little backwards....essentially you can look at it like this, when the number before the colon is bigger then the second number, the memory will be running slower then your FSB....and then you simply have to do a quick calculation to see what the exact speed will be. In the same sense, if the first number is smaller then the second one then the memory will be running higher then your FSB.....and again, some simple math might come into play to figure out what the clock is/would be.

What you do is take your FSB, multiply it by the second number (the "4" in 3:4), and then divide the product by the first number (the "3" in 3:4).

 

True, and the fact that most systems today dont offer any asynchronous dram ratios in which the memory is running at a higher frequency then the system bus.

 

Good call bro, caught that one while I was at work you sneaky bugger.

 

VERY nice 3000+ you've got there......and with your current cooling it's all that much more impressive.....got any other benchies you've ran? If so get on over to the ORB or ARC and see if you chime in with the rest of us.

 

Thx for the score, but I honestly haven't seen a whole lot of 3200+'s hitting 3GHz on regular water cooling. Not saying it can't be or hasnt been done...but you maybe should have tried air cooling first and then asked around to see if it would be worth the cash for h2O.

Good stuff none-the-less.

 

Wow, nice time James.....I know you're not the cheatin' type.....but I would ask you to re-run that and take the pic where everyone else has been.....just because it's easy as hell to fake results on that screen, and although I trust you, I gotta treat everyone the same right?

 

Nope, that's cool.....I can see what it says.

Thx for that though, and again...nice time.

 

Gah, I swear I'll get a new time posted up eventually.

 

I myself would REALLY like to switch to a new "J" 775 P4 and the DFI 875P-T......maybe after I find out if I'm getting this Vapochill or not....cus that'd sure be fun.
