Athlon 64 IHS

I think it's both hardware/software

If you go for subzero cooling, aren't you supposed to leave the IHS on for protection?

yep.

Not removed my IHS yet, I'm so tempted to tho coz it must be on there pretty bad, even at idle stock volts with a zalman 7000cu its like 36c, and that just seems a good 4-5c too hot for stock.

Whats your room temp?

 

[Ketxxx]

generally around 22c

IHS removal

Executive summery: removed IHS reduced temp 4c, increased stability by 3c, increased overclock 70Mhz

Its ok bikr your exploits are rather remarkable though. Yes we all learn. I have fried a couple components by doing absent minded things too.

I have a Naked Opteron 170. I just took it slow and read a few posts of successful modders before doing it. During my testing period, the reason I did it was that my opty was crashing when it passed 72-73c (case open) which was about where the load temp was. It would do so if the room got just a bit too warm. After IHS removal I can make it to 76c stable but, it sits around 68c anyway. I was running it with 1.55 volts and able to hit 1.77 stable for four or so hours before. I gain about 70MHz (1.78MHZ) and lost about 4c. Not much, but it was the added stability when the room gets warm that makes the difference. After doing a few test runs & having company over I prefer it @ 1.475 and 1.77MHZ case closed and the fan on med-low. It will climb to 74c if the sun is on part of the case but the window is always open right beside it. It usually sits at 68c with the case closed 2 internal fans @ 1500rpm, cpu @ 1900 rpm, 1 psu fan @ 1500. A nice quiet killer.

PS. wanted to reach 1.81MHz. It would have been perfect for the OCZ EB

No, moisture can still get in, it's not sealed all around. What the best thing to do is take it off, andput dielectric or whatever it's called on the mosfets.

Then 36 idle sounds right.

And Bikr, people arent just going to forget. You pulled off the the most newb stunt I've ever seen, and you did it with flying colors. We dont learn from your mistakes, we are intelligent enough to never make them in the first place. We do enjoy them though.

Indeed.

the guru part of the bios is the same as the thing u see in windows..

the part called "soft menue" writes directly to the bios.. its just the same as doing it in the bios.. it becomes your boot up default.. the other three options user 1 2 and 3 only get changed to when u arrive in windows.. it remembers the last one in use.. he he he

the auto drive thingy lets u link certain user settings to certain programes..

if u want i can give u all the settings for 4 speeds.. 2.4 gig.. 2.6 gig.. 2.75 gig.. 2.9 gig..

the bottom lines is u dont have to run your system flatout all the time..

u dont alter your htt muliplyer or memory speeds in the guru part that is done in the advanced chipset options..

also while u are in the bios alter the vmode thing from vmode 4 to vmode 3.. nasty things might happen if u dont.. he he

memory to 333 in the bios.. switch off cool and quite.. external clock to manual.. htt to x 4.. vmode thing to mode 3.. the rest u can do from windows..

And Bikr, the flaming will never be over. You pulled off the the most dumbass stunt ive ever seen, and did it with flying colors. We dont learn from your mistakes, we are intelligent enought to never make them in the first place. We do enjoy them though.

wow. How is it the dumbest stunt ever?

Thanks trog, I'll get to that right now as a matter of fact.

Sol.Fides, I deleted your previous post.... I know you are just jokin around, but don't start annoying bikr. The thread has just settled back down and got on topic, please can you keep it that way.

Thanks

Prolly should delete post 335 then too lol.. :shadedshu

 

[infrared]

woops, didn't see that one

 

[Ketxxx]

I dunno, it feels hot to me. (probably should of mentioned 36-38c is @ stock with side and top panel off)

 

[OneCool]

Whoa!! *slowly backs out of thread*

 

[Ketxxx]

Off with your head! well, I removed the IHS, not sure what its gained me yet, and I need to mod my Zalman 7000 so it sits snugly now.

 

[sol.fides]

I understand. I edited the one before also.

 

[wazzledoozle]

I have a zalman 7000B-Cu... what needs to be modded on it? Seems like the springy retention clips would clamp it down enough.

 

[Ketxxx]

I was about to ask the same thing, and as you only get one shot only having one retention clip an all, didnt wanna bugger it so, anyone tell us for certain what needs to be adjusted so it fits snugly?

 

[CjStaal]

Your going to have to sand down a bit on the ZIF socket, where it says "socket 939" Since when you take the ihs off, it will be a tad shorter than that, and it is going to get in the way (the zif socket) and not allow optimal contact.
