I think he meant how much DICE he bought, not what he spent.

we got like 6 bags and it varied how much they weighed

Wish I had places that sold Dry Ice locally...

 

[ShadowFold]

I got a buyer for my 4830, he said he's gonna pay today so I'll be able to buy a 720BE today!

Heres the same ES chip on LN2......By MSIMAX with Bart's chew Copper pot

awesome work

 

[erocker]

Couple questions. What is a safe HTT freq and NB freq.? I'm just messing around with my RAM and they are currently each at 2350mhz. My 1200mhz RAM just doesn't want to do 1200mhz on this board (or any other DFi I've tried) so I'm looking towards tighter timings and around 1000mhz.

Depend on cooling, around 2000s and 2600s can be achieved.
Ram can run independently in bios.

 

[erocker]

Well, 2000 is stock and cooling isn't a problem so I'll see how far it goes! I assume the benefits of running unganged is to achieve higher RAM frequencies. So far I'm running ganged at 940mhz 4 4-4-12 Thanks.

Eventhough system can do cpu-z and sp1m @ 6Ghz, it can't finish 3D'06 @ 6Ghz (all 4 cores). We think that this copper pot has reached its maximum heat load @ >1.8 vcore.
Next will be with the ultimate KingPin's F1 Dragon Copper pot

 

[erocker]

Here's where I'm at so far.

 

[dumo]

Thats nice erocker
What board you run and NB volt?

Try less HT and higher NB freq, it will be faster on read and write

You should easily be able to run a x13 multi with a .5 to .75 bump to the NB VID its NB HT V on your bios. x12 can be done on stock voltage. At least on my board.

Thanks. Ok, that's the part I don't know about right now. At what settings would the HTT and NB frequencies be set to right now? (stock or auto) Do I just lower the HTT frequency multi by 1? Oh it's a DFi Lan Party Jr. 790GX Processor and chipset is water cooled.

Yeah, I'm also running 4x1gb sticks so I know that it needs the NB volts. I have it at 1.4v currently.

 

[dumo]

@ erocker Try to down Ht multi and upping NB freq till it post to windows. Use the same voltages and ram setting.
You will find the ideal HT and NB freq settings that not necessarily stable for prime, but it can finished particular benching program

 

[Darknova]

This is me currently:

I know it's conservative, I'm having trouble with higher HT speeds (as mentioned in previous posts), so I'm using multipliers and I'm using a version of BIOS for my board that gets it's multi's stuck once it's set. So I have to clear the CMOS and reset everything to change the CPU multi, which is now stuck at 16x.

 

[erocker]

Making some sweet progress.

Now I'm going to see how OCCT stable this is.(probably not very) My temps are 24c on the CPU (doubt that is correct), tmp1 24c, tmp2 27c., tmp3 37c (NB)

** Ok OCCT lasted about 4 minutes then bluescreen. So now I lowered the multi on the CPU a notch to see if OCCT lasts longer. If that fails then back to looking at the other stuff...

***Allright! 10 minutes into OCCT so far and it's working.

just ordered me a darknight and two scythe ultra's 137CFMx2

Can't go betta than that

see now those scores are a lot better. good runs and how long before you get the F1 pot?

Pot already here. Just try to set a budget for LN2.
Here in NYC a 35L cost $80 plus returnable deposit $250 for the dewar
Its tough for me to choose between A pack of cigs which cost $9.50 in NYC or LN2 for benching lol

Thats a nice setup

 

[MilkyWay]

gonna give us some help the manual for the board is okay but it dosnt explain all the overclocking settings just like what v core 7 shift is aka % core voltage and a few other things

another annoying thing is that on my old board you changed the fsb and/or the multi and it showed the changed cpu frequency, but now there is nothing that shows the frequency you have to work it out yourself, same for ddr speeds you have to work them out too

good thing is being able to save profiles for oc

i never had to fart about with the northbridge last time on my old board, it was a msi k9a platinum AM2 not AM2+

cpu feature is just the advance clock calibration menu

 

[MilkyWay]

my ram is rated 5-5-5-15 800mhz 1.8v which was great back when i got em it was like one of the first ram to do 1.8v at those settings now its pretty average but im not buying new stuff

cpu-nb fid is at 12x coz it was default and i think it is to set the nb frequency, so like 12x should be 2000mhz

im not really sure about what to do coz even tho my old board had features it was easy to oc just change the voltage add in some % if i needed more and then fix the HT speed, there was no divider options for ram never had to change the northbridge

EDIT: what is all the NB settings? what do i set them too

 

[DV8tion]

Is it just me or is it strange for someone running a pair of 295's to be talking about a budget ?
