Anyone have any idea how crossfired 4830's would perform in comparison to a single 260? (192)

[kyle2020]

pretty much twice as good . . . This gives me much to consider.

[Ketxxx]

I think whats more interesting is look at the Zotac GTX260..... its only 9FPS faster than a single HD4830, think about how low default core and memory frequencies are on the 4830, put a good OC on it and it'll do better than the GTX260 easily.

If I can fetch like £130 or so for my 260, then I could get a nice crossfired setup for £20 more - however I now need to consider my PSU being up to the job.

[Ketxxx]

Your corsair should be able to deal with 2x HD4830s, it might struggle with big OCs though.

[alexp999]

You wont get £130 for your GTX 260, you can buy them new for about £140.

Your probably looking at about £80 for it.

Thing is, is there anything you cant do with your GTX 260 that warrant the hassle of Xfire?

[kyle2020]

Fair point . . . I just get itchy when I havent bought anything new after a while haha.

P5Q SE/R is my mobo, IDK what BIOS is on the board since I've had no need to visit it in the last month since I broke my old hard disk.

Check out my ebay watching bit for christs sakes:

http://i41.tinypic.com/2chp1sx.jpg

Yes, im consider H20 again for some reason :wtf:

I want a new PSU but cant afford one really, I want a redundant OS drive but cant find one for love nor money - I want a Lian Li but they are super do0p3r expensive, I want i7 but you know . . . Its too much haha.

[alexp999]

Lol. Why you want H20 again?

And what do you mean a redundant OS drive? I have a WD 40GB for sale! :)

Really cant see the point in Multi GPU setup's, only good at high rez (And I mean really high res)

And i7 is pointless, as much as I'd like one, I only have one game which makes use of all my cores, and I dont even play it.

[kyle2020]

I liked the look of my old H20 setup, not to mention the awesome load temperatures, even in comparison to my HDT . . . Id be making an external H20 box mind, but its all in plan and dream stage at the minute.

Is it sata though?

[alexp999]

No IDE, but your P5Q has an IDE port.

What do you want one for? I dont get what you mean by "redundant OS drive"

[kyle2020]

No IDE, but your P5Q has an IDE port.

ah ill pass then, IDE cables are a bitch to hide.

Redundant meaning its standalone, so one drive for my OS, my spinpoint for programs / storage. No idea why I want this, however. Its my spending addiction kicking in.

[alexp999]

Seems pointless to me, everything on drive is still really fast. I have given up with Raid 0 for now, might do if I get a bit more money, but I have only ever half filled this drive and every experiment I have ever tried using different volumes, I have always come back to one drive.

I know what you mean though, sometimes you just look for something to buy for the hell of it. I really should stop looking through all the specials sections on different websites.

Ive been checking the superspecials on aria and clearance lines on OCUK each day for the past 2 weeks haha. Just saw a dirt cheap 360mm rad on ebay, im so tempted you wouldnt believe.

[alexp999]

Where would you put a rad that big! :eek:

I'm trying to guide my spending addiction into buying games. I have all this expensive hardware and it hardly gets used for what I bought it for :shadedshu

an external watercooling box - however I have no building skills haha. I can use a dremel, but ive never welded or anything like that. Guess I could drill holes and pot rivet everything :laugh:

meh, I game too much haha, about to get level 55 on COD:4 (again :rolleyes:). Going to reinstall crysis later too, burn through that or something.

You know why we are getting cold feet and wanting to spend? Lack of GTX cooler. lol.

[alexp999]

True but I dont want that anymore, I'm also starting Crysis again, lol.

Got as far as the bit you are weightless going round their ship then that was that.

Now I have perfected my Custom cfg and furthered my OC, its properly playable now, with no noticeable slow downs unless you have the FPS counter on show.

Damn, kyle I can feel the spending bug coming on again.

Mustn't, MUST NOT!

[crazy pyro]

You don't wanna be welding unless you want to spend ages getting rid of the weld beads/ making it look pretty.

[kyle2020]

You don't wanna be welding unless you want to spend ages getting rid of the weld beads/ making it look pretty.

I just saw a triple radiator stand for sale - its primarily designed for the TJ07 however it can be mounted anywhere - im thinking on my desk, with the pump and a tube res mounted on the wall behind, with the tubes running down my wall through the back of my case . . .

[crazy pyro]

Oh right, sounds fun.
You've just reminded me of my idea to make a PC case for AS\ A level DT, that would be a great project. Damn you and making me think of useful types of work!

[alexp999]

The thing I dont like about WC is the risk of it leaking. If I ever want better than my HDT, I will get one of those Coolit systems.

water ftw!

lol

Come back to water kyle, you know you wanna.

Also, PMed about GTX260

[kyle2020]

ah, i always sabotage my own amazing plans! How would I power this desktop cooling station? Id have to buy another PSU just to power it, thats more cost . . . :banghead:

[MoonPig]

get one of these backplate molex things, they come with mobos sometimes.

[kyle2020]

get one of these backplate molex things, they come with mobos sometimes.

but how would I power that? :ohwell:

[MoonPig]

your psu is decent enough!

[kyle2020]

no, your not seeing my point :)

My case is on the floor under my desk top thing, and my radiator, pump and res would be on top of my desk thing, using a triple rad stand and making it all look pretty (hate internal H20 setups since that damn cosmos) but ill need power to my desktop, so probably another PSU.

If you didnt get that, im taking a pic and using my master paint skills to show you :D

[MoonPig]

There will be a 60cm molex extension on the net, other wise its GHETTO TIME. Picture + paint is demanded.

Do it, Water + ATi. Join me!!

[crazy pyro]

I wonder if I could persuade my school to get me a watercooling set-up as part of that project I mentioned, might be interesting.

[kyle2020]

Right, heres my minds design on paper . . . lol its so ghetto im proud of it :D

http://i40.tinypic.com/2py2k1w.jpg

1. The triple rad on the stand.

2. Nice cylinder res, mounted on the wall - im thinking blood red or acid green fluid . . .

3. Pump. 'Nuff said :D

4. 2 tubes running down to my case.

That displays my thought and my main issue - powering all that from desktop :confused:

I say cover the back wall in 10 x 480mm Rads + 40 120 fans. Now that'll be cool. All with neons.

ok, 360mm then.. haha.

Only afew pumps.

Convince her its the childrens ward of a hospital !

he he.

[crazy pyro]

It's the children's ward of his house!

[alexp999]

Nah cus then you cant put "special" posters up :D

I dont really have any posters on my wall though. Just got a massive framed poster, and the Top Gear calendar.

My screens are my posters :D

[Ketxxx]

I got lots of shit on my walls, 2 framed pictures of dragons, framed picture of a wolf, 2 posters of women, a poster of the british army cap badges, and a england flag :D

[alexp999]

Wow, how did the shit get on your walls :roll:

Mmm, I had curry earlier :D

[Ketxxx]

Don't make me find a picture of projectile diahrrea :p (sp? :wtf: )

[alexp999]

I just found a WD6400AAKS for £53.62, really tempted to get it now.

What do people reckon it would improve, going Raid 0? Even faster boot times? Or is it limited by something else?

[Ketxxx]

RAID is just useful for drive mirroring really. If you visit kikatek you can get a WD Black 500GB for £50, better drive ;)

[alexp999]

Whats so much better about it?

And the thing is, I want a 640GB drive really otherwise there is wasted space.

I want to do Matrix raid, having a Raid 0 and Raid 1 partition.

[Ketxxx]

Its just faster at most things. Clicky (http://techreport.com/articles.x/15363)

[alexp999]

Uh, the drive I have is better than that in a lot of stuff. And even they say the SE16 is best VFM.

Hmm, I really want it but, its still £50, I might wait till its on offer somewhere.

[Ketxxx]

No its not, look at all the tests, the Black is better in a majority of them.

[alexp999]

It would still be a waste of drive space, do they do a 640GB black?

[Ketxxx]

Don't know. They do a 1TB though :D

[MoonPig]

I just got the WD 500GB Black, i'd tell you how it performs ... BUT I DON'T HAVE A COMPUTER!

[alexp999]

I have only ever half filled my drive, I'm only using 61GB now :laugh:

So I dont need 1TB, I dont need the space that Raid 0 wil give me, but I want to see what the performance is like. I want faster Win 7 boot! Its faster than Express gate SSD already! :D

[MoonPig]

Thats just greedy.. lol.

I'm going to use my 500GB Black for OS, Programs, Media. Then a Raid0 setup of 3 160/250GB Drives (7200RPM) for Games.

[Ketxxx]

My 500GB Black will arrive after I buy a new monitor. The Maxtor can scream to be put out of its misery a little longer.

I have an ASUS P5Q
BIOS - 1306

Processor E5200

I have a question - I will admit that I am new to the INTEL game, so bare with me.
I recently upgraded from a ASUS P5GC - MX/1333 mobo which was running a E4500 Core 2 Duo CPU.
When I upgraded, I was blessed with a Intel E5200. My question is, which would be better in my ASUS P5Q, the E4500 Core 2 Duo or the E5200 Dual Core ?

[DarkEgo]

E5200, hands down.

[Ketxxx]

Depends how the E4500 OCs. On paper the Allendale architecture is better than the E5200s, which is based more on the old P4 architecture. E5x00 series also tend to have a low FSB threshold, whereas E4x00 series have a better one. I've not seen a E5x00 series above 360FSB to date, my old E4400 does 400FSB, your E4500 should be able to match that if not do better.

Added and welcome to TPU.

Though I have to agree with Ketxxx, the E4500 should in theory clock higher.

[Inioch]

Does anyone else have the same behaviour with P5Q Pro?

I just can't seem to run my memories with 1:1 setting, it's just not stable.

Im running 2x1 GSkill 800 4-4-4-12 @ 960 4-5-5-15 5:6.
The memories are definately holding my oc's back, which would be greatly helped by running the memories at 1:1. At the moment I'm @ 3.8 400x9.5. I'm trying to hit 4.0 @ 421x9.5, which should be quite easy, but the memories just don't work at those settings.

I tried 421 with vCPU, vNB, vSB & vMem bumped, but no help there.
That lead me to question the 1:1 strap, is it just not working?

Have you set your PL to 9?

[alexp999]

Have you tried Ketxxx's latest mBIOS?

[Inioch]

PL is automatically set to 10 at these speeds.
I'll have to try the latest bios. Tried few of the bios's between this and the newest, and they didn't help.
I'll be back with my tests.

[pantherx12]

Still less than the E4x00 series :p




*cries* My self esteem!

[Inioch]

Things just keep getting weirder. Flashed the m2002 bios and set my normal settings.
Memory is set in bios @ 800 4-4-4-12 1:1, but it shows in every program as 5:6 5-5-5-15 @960?

Can this be, because I forgot to reset the bios to default values before flashing?

[Ketxxx]

You can set a 800MHz divider, but remember once you start OCing your memory speed goes up with it. The board will automatically adjust timings as well if you leave them on auto.

[Inioch]

I manually set in bios the memory divider to ddr2-800, fsb to 400 and timings to 4-4-4-12, that's how they show in bios. But still they show in windows as fsb 400, memory @ 480 eg. 5:6 and timings as 5-5-5-15.

Do you have your fsb strap set to auto or manually set to 333 or 400?
The 400 strap has an issue with some memory dividers and you'll actually find your memory running faster than set in bios.
This could explain the speed difference, as for the timings, well it shouldn't mess with those if you set them manually. :confused:

[Inioch]

Well, somehow I got it working after several removals of battery and clrcmos jumper attempts. Now it's working again, but still no stable 1:1 over 400. Tried with way too high volts too.

Arent C0 Wolfs supposed to clock decently over 4g.
I mean, E0's require lot less volts and have more headroom, but 4g's on a C0 shouldn't be this big of a problem.
I guess I'll just have to get myself some new mem's.
I've been looking at these (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231145)

Guess I'll just have to try some more. But that's tomorrow, have to go to work for the night.

[alexp999]

core voltage isnt linear.

I need about 1.35v for 3.2 GHz, but 1.46v for 3.6 GHz :wtf:

[Ketxxx]

Ditto. I can do 3.2GHz @ 1.27v or so, but 3.6GHz I need 1.43v. :/

[Inioch]

How about the other voltage settings?
NB, SB, PLL, GTL ref, not that sure about those, since this is my first Intel rig ever.

Cheers guys for the help so far.

[Ketxxx]

NB/SB: 1.3-1.4v
PLL: 1.6v
GTL ref: try all of them
FSB Term.: 1.3-1.4v

[Inioch]

Guess I'll have to ghetto mount a 12cm cooler I have lying around for the NB/memory area, NB is at 50c on 1.2v. Not a good combo to try to oc alot and keep it quiet.

Thanks Ket!

[Ketxxx]

A great way to cool the NB is pick up a 40mm fan, bend the end NB HS fins out a little, then mount the fan with the provided screws, job done! I done that exact thing and now my NB HS doesn't even get warm to the touch.

Hmm.. thats still a very low FSB vs. even the Allendales. Nice overall core clock though.

Allright ace, I believe you :laugh:

Out of interest, what do you run your e8500 at?
Of course you have vc, but still curious.

Next week is going to be quite interesting, will have to pick up some fans for the mobo and start clocking like crazy :rockout:

[ace80]

When i was on air i usually ran @ 3.6Ghz with a littlw bump to the stock voltage. Max air clocks around 4.5Ghz but it was extreme air cooling with extreme voltage, there are pics in various threads. I've only had my w/c setup for a few weeks so i dont really have a 24/7 setting yet. This rig is just for benching/gaming (which i havn't done alot of recently), my other rig is on more often for the telly.

I usually just go with a setting, play around, if its not stable increase volts, if it is stable increase the oc.
Atm i seem to spend more time in the bios screen than i do any other, i pretty much know it blind (which has come in handy once) :laugh:

[crazy pyro]

Screw up your monitor did you?

[ace80]

Nah, blind flashing my 3870 :D
Tried a bios that didn't take to well

[Kursah]

Just did a major cleaning of my rig, tore the MB out and decided I'd reseat the NB/Sb with some MX-2. I was going to use MX-2 on the mosfets, but the "silly putty" strips between them and the sinks appeard to be doing fine, and those sinks generally don't get much beyond warm. I was actually impressed, both the NB and SB had good amounts of TIM, the seating was good...took a little work to get the heatsink assy off the board. I'm only a few minutes into boot and folding, but so far the NB is running about 4C cooler, we'll see if it stays that way after an hour or two. Before the NB was loading around 42C and staying there as this rig folds generally 24/7.

I got more RAM laying around then I need at the moment....OCZ Platinum in 800 and 1066mhz flavours, plenty of DDR RAM, my (her?) FlexII's and the Mushkins....I swap the Mushkins and FlexII's around; Mushkins to bench and the Flex's 24/7.

Vista Ultimate loves 4GB of DDR2 @ 1200mhz....but these sticks at huge and 4GB is all I have room for lol

[Ketxxx]

I have a crapload of RAM too, mostly 2GB kits tho :(

[aCid888*]

I only have 1 4GB kit, rest are 2GB and the odd 1GB DDR kit.....i even have some PC133 somewhere in 256 form! :nutkick:

[pantherx12]

I'm still having trouble with my multi going to 6, when ever I restart or the system crashes ( for any reason) it resets to x6.

Any ideas?

( even does it at stock settings!)

Oh _JM I found on my 900 if I have the fans at the top instead of at the bottom everything runs cooler, give it a try see if you get better results too.

[Ketxxx]

^ Thats REALLY weird. Send a email to Asus, being sure to tell them C1E, EIST and speedstep are disabled, see what they say.

[alexp999]

I have only ever had it reseting ti 6 when the system was unstable. Once I got it stable it didnt do it.

Only happened on early bioses tho.

[Inioch]

Oh the joys of occasional working :)
Now I can afford some new memory, I'm quite sure they are my biggest limit in oc atm.

I have to stick to my ~70€ budget, so which would you guys recommend.

Sorry for the Finnish links, but those two are where I buy, so have to go by their prices.

I've read some reviews, but do you have any personal favourites and why?
A lot of good has been said about the Reapers, but they are really hard to get around here.
Right now I'm thinking about the Mushkins...

[aCid888*]

Mushkin or G.Skill's.

I would expect they will both do around 1150 - 1200mhz.

Some cash left over, get the OCZ ram cooler. :)

Trying 580fsb makes me crash....will give it more effort later once I catch some sleep in a while.

[_jM]

Oh _JM I found on my 900 if I have the fans at the top instead of at the bottom everything runs cooler, give it a try see if you get better results too.


What fans?~ Do you mean the ones in the front of the case, if so then mine are good to go as is, the V8 I use.. pretty much doesnt need a fan.. my Q9550 @ 3.9Ghz idles @ 33-35c on all four cores and loads @ 47-52c, I keep the fans in the front where they sit because its my GTX 260 that needs most of that airflow along with the bottom fan aiding in cooling my PSU.. my PSU is fliped upside down for better cable management and I drilled 15 1/2inch holes in the bottom of the case under the PSU too~

Trying 580fsb makes me crash....will give it more effort later once I catch some sleep in a while.

Try rising the volts higher than what ur using for the 570 and boot into windows at that setting and use SetFSB to raise the FSB in windows. Im sure it will reach 580 like that~

[aCid888*]

Using SetFSB as it is.....without it I can't boot at 550 due to forgetting my settings and losing my OC Profiles like an idiot.

I will get there again. :rockout:

[ace80]

Nice aCid888 :rockout: i take you figured out your old settings. edit - just seen your last post
What are your voltages at, also are you on 333 or 400 strap?

[aCid888*]

Auto strap...don't see a need to use others.....

I'll post volts later, I'm on the laptop at the moment laying down and don't feel like getting up to post volts. :laugh:

[ace80]

Fair play man, i myself just got back from rock climbing, chilling to music.
I find the auto setting weird, because it'll let you pick a speed that might only appear on 200 or 266 strap, even when going over 500fsb and still boot.
I'm gonna give setfsb a try tonight. I can get into window upto 558fsb, then upto 600 it gets to the splash screen then reboots.

Hey Alex hows your dads PC running these days??

SLI 8800GTS' are fun, I'm sure :laugh:

And whats with the Gallente case, did it cost a lot or is the PC infact a Commodore?!

[alexp999]

Hell yer that would be pretty leet!

Consider it done

You ever tried for higher than 3.2 GHz :D

Hey Alex hows your dads PC running these days??

SLI 8800GTS' are fun, I'm sure :laugh:

And whats with the Gallente case, did it cost a lot or is the PC infact a Commodore?!

He bought the commodore case on its own on a special EVE Online promo> Commodore now sell the cases and skins on their own to the public now however.

NVIDIA chipsets are so crap tho, I had to stick my E6600 in his PC to get it stable. Don't know why I'm complaining tho, it gave me a free upgrade to a Q6600! :D :rockout:

[Play3r]

Well i got it to 3.6ghz on my old p35 so yer could probly get it quite a bit higher... just havent really been bothered yet.. but i will one day

[alexp999]

Sweet, let us know if you get any problems, its what the club is here for :toast:

[Play3r]

lol i always managed to have problems... But yer everything is awesome atm ratios and all that are good so yer

[alexp999]

At 400*8, all you need to worry about is CPU voltage to get it to 3.6 GHz.

Thats what I did, got it all nice and tight on 400 FSB and 8 multi, then found the lowest stable voltage for a 9 multi. Only one thing to fiddle with :D

[aCid888*]

What design does your dad have from Commodore??

They have so many to chose from but the price of them is petty insane....what case is it anyway? I hope not some cheap OEM that just has some cool looking sticker on it.

[Play3r]

mmmm but i like have my fsb and ram on 1:1 ratio

[alexp999]

mmmm but i like have my fsb and ram on 1:1 ratio

You dont need to change the FSB that was my point :)

What design does your dad have from Commodore??

They have so many to chose from but the price of them is petty insane....what case is it anyway? I hope not some cheap OEM that just has some cool looking sticker on it.

It is the first EVE Online Gallente one, and unfortunately is is pretty much a cheap OEM case. Prob worth about £40. But it is the panels that make it cost what it does, they are painted like car body panels, and are fitted with thick Acoustic Insulation.

The fans are pretty cool (no pun intended) too, they have about 6 different colours controlled by switches on the front.

I wouldnt buy one tho, not enough airflow for my liking. My Dad only bought it cus he is a bit of an addict (understatement of the century) of EVE Online.

[Play3r]

Im confused....

to Tired to think lol....

[alexp999]

atm you have 400*8, so to get 3.6 GHz, all you need to do is do 400*9, FSB stays the same :)

[Play3r]

righto........ :S lol..

[Play3r]

hmm u ever got ur q66 to 4?

Not really :wtf:

Its not a 24/7 voltage, but for benching why not?

Max stable 24/7 with volts I wouldnt mind using is 4.5GHz @ 1.41v.

You're almost in the 5ghz club acid! Damn, you guys are all making me want to order a TRUE or a xigmatek s1283 and learn how to OC. It seems I've got a good board for doing it, damn, my bank account already hurts for paying for my netbook.

Hmm ok i did a bit im @ 3.83 @1.55v

I'm sure it has more in it.....getting it to 5GHz will take more effort and I'm not sure I want to try; after all, this is my main rig that I roll noobs on every night while playing CoD4 so I don't want to kill it....yet! :laugh:

[DrPepper]

Hmm ok i did a bit im @ 3.83 @1.55v

Thats what my voltage is for 3.8ghz. I think you could push it to 4ghz. I think mine could but I couldn't be arsed tweaking GLT voltages etc.

[Play3r]

GLT voltage?

Come on acid we wanna see it

Don't push the guy to a point that may kill his CPU, hell he'll probably suicide run it if/ when he moves up to some higher end hardware (aka i7 or something similar).

Wow, that's pretty handy, if only they done that for all motherboards and processors!

Maybe TPU should have a submission form for bios settings, so people can just put in their mobo and CPU and if someone has submitted the info they can find it and do the same on their own board...

Nice guide _jM

Though I cant even do 3.2 GHz on 1.34375 :roll:

I wish I new what all the options did, dont have the time to constantly de - f*ck it when I make a mistake.
