:shadedshu old farts I did join May 2006 first time knowing about OCing

anyone wanna a crying baby

lol. I'll pass. Already went thru that 3 times.

 

[giorgos th.]

DOM_ATI_X800XL_PCI-E if you are talking about 06 you are correct...but what about the others?

well letting her cry made her tired now she want to go to sleep

well how does this look

yeah that what sucks about 06 but unless you got ln2 and a QX9650 it doesnt matter

Good, but I don't think that's stable. cpuz says you have only 3 cores. lol.

Edit: LOL needed more vcore http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=344795

hi heres mine

I figured that was the problem. lol. How much are you feeding it?

right now its at 1.528v

Wow. I didn't expect it to need that much. My C0 stepping QX does 4.4ishGHz on that voltage.

It needs around 1.35V for 3.8GHz. I thought for sure your C1 would do better.

well its got a 8X and I just put that much to see if that would fix it going to try lower see what happens

 

[DOM]

test run on gpu 24/7 settings and not on the benching hd

Okay it shows I have only 2 Cores but 4 Threads but when I up the volts I get 4-4 but same score

also Its stable with cpu-z showing 2 Cores on prime putting load on the 4 Cores my head hurts can anyone explain this ?

Did you happen to uninstall your old cpu in the device manager before you plopped in the quad? Or is this a fresh install?

just put it in it showed 4 cores at stock, and you saw the 3 cores would that mess with things ?

can I uninstall them right now ?

Yeah, just go to the device manager, uninstall all the cpus shown, and then reboot.

 

[DOM]

well it shows all 4 but cpu-z still shows only 2 cores and 4 threads going to prime again and go to bed

i recall seeing in a vista tweak thread here on TPU there was a method to lock windows to only see/use certain amounts of cores and people claiming it sped a few things up setting it manually - you wouldnt have done that, would you? (setting was in msconfig)

That's the /numproc=x switch in the boot.ini on XP. Don't know about Vista tho.

I know what your talking about, but it does it on its own I was at 475X8 and only had 3 Cores upped the volts and had 4, but the funny thing is I get the same scores in 3DM06 CPU test

do all four cores show up in task manager in the processes tab? it really does seem weird.

yeah there all there, and it passed 5 1/2Hrs of prime

 

[p_o_s_pc]

I have a 7900GS( i know need upgrade) i get about 5200 @590/850 how can i get the core higher? I set it to 600mhz and the system hangs.I have flashed the BIOS and raised the delta clock to 35.Temp underload is 64c idle is 45c the cooler is stock and has been lapped and thermal paste been replaced with AS5

EDIT: i forgot that i have ran the v-ram up to 1020mhz and got about 5300.The v-ram is running 2.2v

 

[erocker]

Probablly needs more voltage going to the core. You could try adding some to the bios, but a hard mod is probablly what's needed.

already added voltage in the bios did no good.i have had 2 7900GS (both EVGA) and both of them have hang at 600mhz wtf:
