yes and no. i cant run 20x multi over 4ghz and 19x maxes at 218 bclk. kinda disappointing.

 

[giorgos th.]

there are always preffered multis.....
i can have my best mhz (~5200mhz) only with X27....

 

[Fitseries3]

what do i need to do to get it stable to bench? it hard locks when 3dm bench begins.

New bios for Asus P6T Deluxe. Seems to work fine here.
Restart after bios 'Save and Exit' seems to work ok now.

if no one has seen these yet i'll show you now...

I think i may have found two problems.

1) First problem is that it appears my PSU is stressing.
Under load my +12v rail drops to 11.88v-11.93v. I am
sure this IS causing some OC instability.

2) Under load the chipset can get really hot. Mine has
reached 59c with 100% load and i have a fan on it.
Is this normal, is this ok, i have no clue what is acceptable?

 

[Fitseries3]

yes.. mine got to 60+ under load. thats why i went water.

what psu you have? mine was doing that but i fixed it with the voltage adjustments.... thats yet another reason why i LOVE pc power and cooling.

Am still trying to figure out if the Swiftech MCW-NBMAX
will fit on an Asus P6T.

Am using a Apevia 680w PSU. For sure will be upgrading
to probably a Thermaltake 750w.

 

[Fitseries3]

hmmm.... idk. i just took a look and it doesnt look good on the NB-MAX. thats the one i have and its decent. i think it would be better with some sorta fins or a pin structure inside.

can you remove that black fin thingy from the NB?

 

[msgclb]

if no one has seen these yet i'll show you now...

Any idea when they will be available and the cost?

 

[Fitseries3]

$700-800 at least. i think you can order them from corsair direct but idk.

 

[Chicken Patty]

ok, here is my latest 3dmark run, I can't wipe the damn smile off my face

 

[Fitseries3]

lol... and im almost 10k on top of that.

Yes as shown in the pics of this post. It looks like
it was made for it.

here is a comparison, between my Phenom and my i7 at same clocks, both on GPU and CPU

Phenom


Core i7

you fucker, shut up!!! hehehe

Come one single 4870, im only at 3.3 GHz, I think its actually looking pretty darn good for 3.3 GHz. What do you think?

can you measure the hole pattern diagonally for me? i will tell you if it will work.

single 4870x2 here. 4.2ghz though.

you're doing good. keep going though.

I will!!!! Thanks.

Well it appears to be 2 3/8".

 

[Fitseries3]

Well it appears to be 2 3/8".

can you use mm? if not thats ok.

 

[Jupiter]

can you use mm? if not thats ok.

If i'm not mistaken that is like 35mm.

 

[Fitseries3]

If i'm not mistaken that is like 35mm.

should work man. that looks about what mine is.

 

[msgclb]

Well it appears to be 2 3/8".

My untrained eye says that 2 3/8" is 60mm.
