Damn. If I knew this just 2 days ago. I just sent a nice little Gigabyte board and a QX6700 to Mexico.

Don't know bro, maybe just RAM, but three sticks and non work? Not sure what to say

As it turns out, I have an Asus P5Q turbo board which appears to be an LGA775. PM me your address and I'll try to get it out to you on Monday or Tuesday. We got a couple inches of snow but unless they plowed my driveway shut, I should be able to get out.

I'll have to try to find a box that it will fit in though. I don't think I can use any of the flat rate boxes I have, but that shouldn't be a big deal. I look into that tomorrow.

edit: It's pretty dusty and I can't be certain it works. I think it will be ok, but no promises.

PM inbound. Once I get paid I'll be more than happy to send something your way for the shipping, just let me know how much man.

i need help
i'm crunching on two setup for WCG
but few days ago, one of my setup is can't Upload and Download tasks!!!
i didn't clicked on "No new tasks"
then tested it on Seti@home, everything is works fine Upload and Download new tasks
so WCG's banned my setup?
i'm very confused

JrRacinFan · Jan 22, 2012, 04:45 AM

Check your results status, if you start reporting invalid/error'ed projects it will ban you for a time to get your PC back to stable functioning conditions.

OR.... is the date/time set correctly? Something so small causes a whole bunch of issues.

That issue is so common. It's bit me a few times because it's so easily overlooked! Glad you got it fixed.

I'm looking for a really cheap and quiet AMD cooler for the cruncher that I'm running at my inlaws. The noise from the AMD stock fan is driving them nuts, and they are threatening to make me remove it, if I can't get it quiet. Anyone have a cooler around that would do the trick?

Not here man, the only spare cooler I have right now is the Hyper 212 and the fan is loud! Plus once I get my 2nd rig up and running I'll need it anyways.

I may see what we can work out on this if its still up in the air. I talked to Asus RMA department today and the support guy said it was highly unlikely that they have any 780G boards in stock that I would at the least get a 785G or 880G as a replacement so i assume it will have ACC to unlock it to a quad.

I can tell you my ASUS M4A785-M has the option to unlock to a quad core, I know someone on here is selling one for $50 so theres a option if the one you get doesn't have ACC

What kind?
I've got a few but it's test moddels so I'm not sure how good they are, mostly 800w and 1000w

A lot more wattage than I'll ever need but that's never a problem. Test models? To be honest, just looking for anything that I can rely on for 24/7 crunching, preferably good brand that won't ruin my gear.

Can go to PM's to discuss the rest.

stinger608 · Jan 29, 2012, 04:03 PM

Okay last night I bumped my i7 930 up to 3.6ghz. Right away it started crunching into the lower 90C temps! None the less I backed it down to the default 2.8ghz. Now for some reason it is still running well into the 80C's during the crunching. This is reporting both in RealTemp and CoreTemp.

Now I am running a Xigmatek Dark Knight on the chip. I pulled the cooler to check the coverage of the TIM which looked fine. I cleaned everything and reinstalled Ceramique TIM to the chip. As it was stated it is crunching in the high 70C's and low 80C's at the default 2.8ghz.

Do I need a better cooler? Using AMD chips for several years I am not sure what a great cooling solution is for these chips. Any suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated.

Mydog · Jan 29, 2012, 04:07 PM

Did you lower vcore when you put it back to stock?

KieX · Jan 29, 2012, 04:12 PM

Yeah, those temps are a bit high, since it ain't summer yet. Not sure how the Dark Knight performs, but as Mydog suggested it could be something with the vcore. Ideally you want to be under 1.3V on D0 chips for those clocks, after that the heat builds up very quickly with frequency increases.

As far as I know I never fooled with the Vcore at all. I just bumped the FSB up to 200 rather than the default 133. I didn't mess with any voltage settings when I raised it up to the 3.6ghz.

Now this is very odd. I go into MSI's "overclocking center" and it is showing the CPU temps between 58c and 68c? It is also showing the Vcore bouncing from about 1.27 to 1.32 volts? After checking again I have seen the Vcore jump to 1.387 volts! Is that waaaaaaay too high?

Here is a screenshot:

Mydog · Jan 29, 2012, 04:39 PM

I would do a clear cmos and see if that's helping, 1,38vcore is way off

stinger608 · Jan 29, 2012, 05:10 PM

Rebooted and jumped in the BIOS which shows that the Vcore is set at 1.208 volts. I have to believe that the MSI Overclocking Center is reporting wrong?

Also after booting back into windows it is showing temps from mid 50C's to upper 60C's which is to be expected I guess while crunching.

Chicken Patty · Jan 29, 2012, 05:46 PM

Yeah, it must've been bumping vcore up a lot. those chips once over 1.3v will build heat like you have no idea!
