what video card is that?Is it a 7900GS?

No my bad I forgot to say it is a 7900 gt 256 but still this thing is running great the oc on the board is maxed wont boot past where its at yet runs steady and cool 24/7 dual boot xp/gos

Did anyone happen to see on XS that the OCZ phase will be on sale next week on OCZ main website only.

They will be 299.99 + 35 to ship

Now they are saying on XS the OCZ guys that this will be the only run. They are simplpy to much trouble to make for them.

So if you want one like I do, be sure to watch for it on tes or weds when they go live at some point and time.

erocker · Apr 11, 2008

Gee, I sure want one!

Mussels · Apr 11, 2008

damn you people... i cant get them, as they only run on 110V

erocker · Apr 11, 2008

Btw, any of you with 3870's out there having OC troubles. I apparently can mod bios' with success! RBE is awesome!!

DaMulta · Apr 11, 2008

Yea and to ship in the EU they would have to fill the gas there.

I only have the money for myself:shadedshu

Fuckers stole my car and it really really hurt my 400USD trip turned into a 1 grand trip

other wise I would I know your good for it.

I'm going to be checking the website constantly for the next week. I may have to miss work. :laugh:

Im definitly thinking about doing this!!

Do you have to go through all the steps to waterproof your board, for condensation??

DaMulta · Apr 11, 2008

Yes but that is easy nail polish de electric paste, and the stuff they wrap pipes with to keep them from sweating in the winter.

They should give you the stuff(expect de electric paste, and nail polish) , I read the PDF on OCZ website. The nail polish will just be and extra protection.

ok, so its not too bad??

I found this spray from swiftech that they recommend for their TEC cooling, it basically just coats the board with clear or something. will that work

DaMulta · Apr 11, 2008

that will work too, kingpin uses the nail polish so I'm told....I have done it 3 times now.

You just get the clear kind, when you are done you can't see it

and do you use the dielctric grease in the socket??

SORRY erocker for the off topic posts!!

EDIT : hey you guys ever used a x38 or x48 board?? Any good ideas on OCing it?? Please help - see below

DaMulta · Apr 11, 2008

Just just stuff it full to it comes out when you put the chip in.

then paste all the caps and so forth near by.

Lol, don't be sorry at all, did you see the countless posts from last night getting fitseries a good OC? This thread is all about OCing, since your going for big 3DMark06 scores, it's all related anyways. :toast:

If you have any questions about your board just holler! :toast:

I have all the questions in the world! Please take a look at my bios shots and let me know what think I should do

Oh boy, this is going to take a while... You are running some insane voltage! Check back some posts and have a gander at the lists I posted for fitseries. If you aren't using both of your LAN's turn one off. You are going to have to turn Load Line Callibration on, so before that lower your RAM to 2.16 which should take you up to close to 2.3v. You can probablly lower your CPU v's a bump or two as well. You should manually set your CPU PLL voltage, though at 1.7v's already on your CPU I would have no Idea what it would be. Fit was pushing about 1.55v's through his CPU and running PLL at around 1.7v.

oh im not running those volts, I just had those there for one attempt at 465 FSB. It didnt take - obviously. So out of desperation Im asking now, at the top of the post I put the voltages Im running ,they are much less. Im trying something differnet now, ill let u know how it goes@

DaMulta · Apr 11, 2008

One more thing to get de- electric grease off of your motherboard..... take the battery out, and run it through the dish waster with no soap, and no air dry....don't want it to melt.

Then let it set for a week to let the caps dry and put the battery back in.

erocker · Apr 11, 2008

I will never do that, I don't care how "safe" it is. It just almost seems "un-ethical" to me to put any type of computer hardware in a dishwasher! :laugh:

I have no experience on the matter, personally just not going to do it.

I had my rig running 450 BUS earlier for about 15min - only had a couple of benchies before I shut the system down. Needs further stability testing. Been trying to get my MEM to break 1600, which they just don't want to do . . . I would've gone further, but have been fighting some dodgy BIOS issues . . .

Anyhow, the settings I was running: 450 BUS, CPU vcore 1.462, multi x8, NSB 1.55, SSB 1.20

Based on how settings have been staggering out for me, I figure that to run a multi of x9, I estimate the vcore on this board to need to be somewhere between 1.52-1.56 - not 100% sure as I haven't had a chance to test that yet.

As to what to run your DRAM at - not sure what to say as I'm running DDR3 here, so my settings won't work for you. Best bet, IMO, use the NSB to DRAM strap option, and set it at 200MHz or 333MHz, whatever would place the DRAM clock as close to or slightly above 1000MHz as possible. You'll probably want to manually set your DRAM timings as well, to make sure that BIOS doesn't automatically set them too tight for that speed. 2.5v might be a bit excessive for your DRAM, though, try running 2.15 or 2.2, and work on finding the CPU vcore that should keep it stable, or more stable than you've been able to achieve so far.

I might be getting a reference GeCube 3870 for my HIS, and he said his max OC (he didn't mess with voltage) was an 862 or 867 core...that sounds like that clock-limited BIOS doesn't it?

Would you be able to edit that out of it, or should I just flash with another BIOS?

BTW - I love this thread. It's more of an educated user's help thread. No peeps wondering why their computer won't turn on cuz it's not plugged in here
