The Journey Of A 5000+ BE!

[kyle2020]

Alright im prepping for my Pin mod - just butchered an old IDE cable for my wire, am about to rip my proc out and have a go. Knowing me the thing will explode, but im going to have the balls to try it. If it doesnt work i can remove the wire anyway. Ill be make a picture account of this, so ill speak again in about 10 minutes!

im hoping though that before i start a pin mod (thanks again solaris! ) that my new scythe will let me get to 3.2 on 16x @ stock volts. if not, a pin mod and ill try and go higher than 3.2.

no problem man i just want it to work for you i know how much you love this system and i know you probably dont want to spend anymore money and i feel slightely guilty because i reccomended that mobo and now your hitting a voltage line

 

[kyle2020]

Dont worry about it solaris - gives me a reason to jump to intel later

Well, i sat there, with my wires ready, and realised something. The size. Everything was so minute, and i have heavy hands, so i couldnt physically do it. Ah well, lets wait for my ninja to arrive and go from there

Im still trying to find a program that might let me go further than 1.4, to no avail so far.

Thanks again solaris!

np man i think you should try it though i bet you can do it!!! i have bad asthma so my meds make me shake but i pin mode and solder lil resistors etc give it a shot!!!

i think im going to have to find a magnifying glass, make sure im clear of caffeine and set myself half an hour aside one saturday. Ill deffinately try it again, id just like to see if this ninja helps my clocks - Plus, i can raise FSB instead of multi to OC my RAM a bit

Do you think the temperature drop will increase overclock-ability? Im currently idling on 1.4V @ 15.5x multi and 200 (stock) FSB all at 49 degrees on one core and 56 on the other.

 

[kyle2020]

Ok so in prep of my scythe arriving on friday, im going to post some temps of a stock clock and overclock on my processor, just as a comparison.

15 minutes on idle, stock clocks:

A few minutes idle, 15.5 multi & 1.4V:

http://screencast.com/t/PlWPZclJ

(both images show an average, both clocks and voltages fluctuate by around 2 - 6 degrees randomly).

Ill get some pictures up as soon as the ninja arrives, both on passive and with the included 12cm fan.

** All images taken using Jing, bloody mintosh program, i highly reccommend it! **

god those are high temps....

god those are high temps....

exactly - roll on tomorrow!

pin mod!!! i wants to c!!

haha give me 5 minutes! might do it this weekend, see what im upto.

i had that mobo before i got the K9A2 max was 1.35v without hitting % when you used % max was ~1.8v

did you like it? i think its okay the highest i can go without kicking in the % thing is 1.375v then i can go to +10% of that or + 13.3% to get 1.5v or more

ive got my processor at 3234mhz with 14.5x fsb at 223mhz at 1.5v

should i try nad lower the voltage because i cant get any higher than 3260mhz it will not run at 3300mhz or higher at all

ram and cpu are linked most ive gotten outta my ram is 900mhz stable i could go more but dont wnat to try because i have it at 2.0v its normal voltage is 1.8v at 800mhz

CPU is 33 and 29c idle

 

[kyle2020]

well, the ninja arrived this morning, despite me paying for it to arrive yesterday but any way lets crack on checking these temps:

On Idle @ 3.05 Ghz

http://screencast.com/t/t1Dd7y5S

Few minutes of orthos @ 3.05Ghz

http://screencast.com/t/mzZXpOa0A6

Im very impressed i cant see my tracers anymore because of the scythes fan, but do i care?
Oh and with an antec 900 its perfect - the scythes fan is blowing directly into the rear exhaust fan, or i could position the fan to blow out of the top 20cm fan, everyones a winner

yes i did it was a great mobo i got 300HTT out of it so you can try 12x270? and pushing the ram @ 10xx

decided to go with the positioning to blow the hot air out the top 20cm fan - follows the laws of science (hot air rises, cold sinks) plus i can now see my tracers again

Im still shocked at how bloody huge it is though, the pictures are very decieving.

You're on limit, 55°C is confine for stable OC.
If you can cool CPU better you can incrase Voltage and frequency...

as i have discovered

running it passive anyway, 'cause im so G like that

temps around 40 - 45 degrees celcius on passive, im happy with the purchase.

Pin mod anyone?

Nah im not going to bother i dont think, id rather just enjoy my system as she stands and go intel later.

 

[MilkyWay]

yes i did it was a great mobo i got 300HTT out of it so you can try 12x270? and pushing the ram @ 10xx

timings on my ram are 5-5-5-15 its pretty good ram for it being only £25 its Winchip ram apparently they are big in the far east, there was a review of some Winchip ram on TPU a while back but it wasnt the 800mhz 5-5-5-15 ram i have, cool thing is it has a good ramsink and colour to it its like ice blue and silver you can get red but i wasnt given a choice on ebay

i might get another 2gb of ram run it in dual channel i have my freezer pro 64 positioned so the ram is right under the fan

htt? ill see what mines is set at ill need help with voltages and stuff tho. am going to run the cpu at the speeds you recommended, im sure dark told me to run it at those speeds too

is that the ram set at 10xxmhz ???

What about pin mod? You need a pic?
I was doed pinmods on AM2 several times...

 

[kyle2020]

Solaris found me one http://tripleccreation.blogspot.com/2008/04/5000-be-pin-mod-project.html

if you have any other info though that would be great!

no its set to 800 and oc'd to 1068 or something like that on mine and just BTW HTT=FSB or whatever

 

[MilkyWay]

well really i tried those settings and they didnt boot i think it was the ram being set too high, so what i did was i clocked the cpu and then i set the ram to 664 mhz in the ram settings it had a 4xx mhz choice and 800 mhz choice basically all the normal ram choices so i set it to that and it clocked the ram to 900mhz which was what it usually runs at because if the ram was set at 800 mhz it clocked to over 1000mhz and that was too fast

sorry to hijack this thread i hope the pin mods go well for everyone

so my cpu is set at 268mhz FSB 12x so that is about 3210mhz

That's that, it's clear pics (1.55V mod), I have some but they are worse than that Solaris found ...

 

[kyle2020]

ok, the scythes pretty damn good - PASSIVELY @ 3.1 Ghz, 1.35V, the temps vary from 40 - 50 degrees, which, for a passive system, is spot on in my mind. Using the amazingly quiet fan, @ the same clocks / voltages, temps range from 38 - 45 degrees which, again, is impressive.

Just a little update for my peoples of TPU

 

[kyle2020]

* im having to use the fan atm, due to the fact that we are having a sort of heat wave over here*

ALSO!!!

whilst using the fan, my GT + accelero drops from around 33 degrees to 29 degrees! sucks heat off the top of the card, all pushed out the top 20cm fan running on medium just to push more air out without being too noisy. Mintosh!

Dont Overclock A Little Processor Such As The 5000+. Mines Got Cancer And Is Dying And Im Upset.

Dont Do It!
