But shouldn't I be able to pass the Intel Burn test then, if this is a test Intel does before releasing their CPU's onto consumers?


What air cooler do you have?

EDIT: I just checked your System Specs

There are lots of cooler that are very economic.

can't go wrong with the TRUE http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/thulexrevc.html

Either my cooler, or this one will be the best performers though.

how did you burn that? i have frozen boards, gotten water on boards and i have never burnt one...hell i put 3way xfire on a board with a 510w PSU and didn't do that!

Power outtages have my EVGA and my PCP&C PSU looking like that, both are in need of RMA, board is still running though as you saw from my last screenshot. Board just has a dead ram slot.

ouch will they rma it with burn marks on it?

not too sure i was running SLI'ed 8800GT's @700/1800/900 24/7 folding X2 4200+@3.1ghz (10x300)@1.36v 24/7 crunching ramDDR1000@2.2v. running it was a 650w Silverstone
I don't think that would cause too much stress considering what it was running.They are burnt on both 12v lines leading in. The PSU tested out fine so idk what caused it. Maybe it was just because of the cheap shitty biostar board.

EDIT:Biostar would hav RMAed it if it wasn't over a year old(by 1month) and Silverstone didn't even answer back on the RMA. Don't buy a Silverstone for there service because it doesn't seem to have one

They are not as bad as Tim's though, not near half of that. however, I don't know. I'll give it a shot though.

they can't really say much i guess its not like you did it

True, plus it's got a dead RAM slot, that's just poor manufacturing

just have them crosship then they cant do anything

Heh, I was going to ask you about that Cooler, have you read this review?

Will it make Water Cooling obsolete?

Will it make Water Cooling obsolete?

no, don't think so, but it's definitely making it harder for people to go water. No longer justifies the cost. I ditched my water setup for my cooler. At daily clocks my water setup did slightly better by 2-3ºc. But at benching clocks my cooler does better by 8-10ºc Of course, something there was wrong, maybe needed stronger pump or something.

A high end water setup will do better, but will cost probably 2 or 3x more than a high end cooler.

the only water i have had that does better than that cooler was my old setup that was pretty much a dual loop shoved into one

BIX240 2x rulian science high flows in a pull config
MCR320 5x yate loons in push pull on it
laing D5 vario@max
aquaxtreme MP05 pro (modded AM2 mounts)
1/2" tubing all the way around

i can't find any pics of it right now though....but lets put it this way i hit 3.9ghz stable on a phenom 945BE ES with 1.7v thru the cpu

 

[cdawall]

hehe running me some old school

got it up a little higher not bad for 4 dimms of ram and an ancient setup

specs:
2x512mb samsung TCCC+2x256mb infineon CE-5
120GB+80GB WD IDE drives
DFI NF4 infinity
Athlon 64 3000+ venice E6 (stock cooler)
MSI 8400GS 256mb

Nice to see a run with a Athlon run added.

a socket 939 on top of all that

going to give 2.8ghz a try tomorrow

anyone know what SAFE 24/7 NB voltage is for a Athlon II X2? i am running 1.3v@2880mhz so far stable just want to make sure its safe

If I'm not wrong, about 1.3-1.35v is max safe voltage.

 

[p_o_s_pc]

If I'm not wrong, about 1.3-1.35v is max safe voltage.

i have been worried about going over 1.27v(max AOD allows) and i can't seem to find anything on it.So that helped put my mind at ease. I will enjoy the added boost that the higher NB,ram and HT speeds bring

 

[Asylum]

Heres one for me.
The voltage is high....I was tring to go for 4.6Ghz with ht on but couldnt do it.

Good run, added. Have you tried bumping your ICH voltage a bit and raising your PCI-E frequency just a few MHz? That made all the difference in the world for me when pushing high BCLK.

Yea i tried that....It will get up to 4.58Ghz with ht on but nothing higher.

hmm, that's still not a bad clock at all. Were you able to complete a run at 4.58Ghz?
