Also speaking of HTPC, I got a heatpipe cooler to replace the solid aluminum one and its running 6 deg cooler at full load!

Radical_Edward · Jan 26, 2012, 01:11 AM

Much better! I'm currently using a stock AMD heatpipe cooler with a better fan on it, just need to change out the thermal paste.

Yep! Im using arctic cooling ceramique but with the stock fan. Is there any good mod guides out there for this cooler?

I have what I think is a 70mm x 25mm fan that's mostly clipped into place the same way the stock one does. It's not going anywhere at least. I bet with some effort you could mount a 80mm fan on there thou. I'm thinking about doing such myself.

Heat the whole house with computers and you can turn of the heater!

Oh I've got close to 20 old single cores in this house, I could make it like a sauna

I may look for a slim 80MM fan a zip tie it on there LOL

Saw this, which might be of use to those of you living in the USA: 32GB SSD for $32 $29!
http://www.directron.com/rf32gs25ssdr.html

Small size, but more than enough if you want it for a cruncher or basic boot drive.

I'm contemplating getting a P.O. box, I'm only 50kms away from America....

I have a question, can you write off folding on your taxes?

ChaoticAtmosphere · Jan 26, 2012, 02:09 AM

Alright everybody. In a bid to get better crunching numbers, I'm settling for a lower overclock on my ram in order to get a higher overclock on my CPU. Last time I tried to reach 3.6Ghz I tried to keep my ram at 1800Mhz and it didn't like that at all.

So here is what I've achieved and it seems to like it so far....

O_O 3.6 on 1.2V? lol mine wont even post at 2.8ghz with 1.2v

ChaoticAtmosphere · Jan 26, 2012, 02:15 AM

Well I actually have the Vcore set to 1.325v in the bios. Even with CPU load line calibration disabled for some reason HWmonitor still reports a value of 1.27v with a max of 1.32.

Even when I was running at 3.5Ghz and Vcore set to 1.30v HWm still reports current Vcore at 1.27v and max 1.32v. go figure.

I pay more attention to the temp readings and observe for errors.

Think it got too hot?

It's because I forgot to leave the window open. Got too hot in here and it locked up.

Ah yeah, I remember when I had 16 cores crunching in my room, A/C just couldn't keep it cool enough in there. Freaking sauna!

Depends on your tax system. I can't imagine it is possible here in UK.

What I learnt is: have the PC's near an open window, open air instead of case, invest on the best cooling you can.. and if necessary in summer just clock down a little. And perhaps a small metal fan to move air round room if you don't have natural airflow in the room.

I went one further and covered up the windows with cardboard to block out sunlight. But I can't promote vampirism anymore since Twilight ruined the cool image it once had. Thick curtain drawn during day would also work.

Sorry I haven't crunched much today guys, but it's reaching some scary temps and I don't want to risk anything.

You can reduce the CPU usage if need be. On the newest version it's under Advanced>Tools>Computing Preferences. Then enter something like the default 60% for CPU time or 80%. It will load 100% but for a few seconds at a time only, which lowers temps.

I had it at 60% and it was closing in on the 59C range, It's on 30% now and it's only 47C so I can live with that

thanks for reminding me about that feature

No worries. You might wanna post on the crunchers helping crunchers thread btw, maybe someone can give you a deal on a cooler so you can keep it 100%

If you were on same continent I'd probably send you something.
