just for you cp

wish i had som wc, looooong tubes, and a huges ass rad to put out in the snow with some anti freeze in the water

 

[Chicken Patty]

at least you got the snow

 

[(FIH) The Don]

yeah, but my fingers are falling off soon, good i have the GF's hair dryer

 

[Chicken Patty]

don't you have a stove or something? That'll get your hands hotter and quicker I would think

 

[(FIH) The Don]

lol, i have a radiator? is that the same thing?

but i turned that off to do some oc'ing tonight,

 

[(FIH) The Don]

maybe a cooler from a truck or a car could do the trick? i can get those for free used

 

[Chicken Patty]

Some people use heater cores from vehicles. You should look into that

 

[(FIH) The Don]

might do that

i'm on 4.2ghz now at 1.5v,

will try out some testing

it was not booting in to windows under that volt

*cough*

try to get a used one from an old renault espace

 

[(FIH) The Don]

those good?
and no more oc'ing for tonight,

all the sudden ther was a blue flash from the machine, and i was like FUUUUUUUCK!!!!!

took of the power cord and took out the battery to make sure, then it was just one of my fans that broke down, i had melted totally in the middle

guess ther must have been some flaw in it

 

[Chicken Patty]

Holy crap you must have dirtied your panties bro

 

[(FIH) The Don]

yeah i did, wanna see

jk, but dang, i got scared,

 

[Chicken Patty]

I had something similar happen once. I have a tech station that brings a connector with a power button. So I plugge it into the board and it started smoking. I swear to god I must've screamed like a little bitch

LOOOOL

Something like that

I know (about the IMC process that is). I'm confused why you keep addressing me tho? I'm not disagreeing with you.

just addressing what you said by bringing up some knowledge other people didn't have figured i may as well throw it out there but your post was the best to answer the original question on.

where do you attain such knowledge? Reading thru each technical documentation,AMD released?

chew* brought it to my attention on XS he has actually helped me alot with phenom's unluckily we had a bit of a falling out over some ram and no idea if he wants to talk with me much anymore....

@ all PhII guys

Anyone have an idea of what voltage to raise for 1600 ram to not give me random restarts? I have memtested 1600 10-10-10- 31 with trfc's@160 1.8v, cpu @ 3.2Ghz 1.26v and does 7 passes ok. 3.5Ghz 1.37v is a no go with raised vcore tho but ok with 1333 9-9-9-25 trfc's @ 110 1.6v.

EDIT:

Oh and with 1600mhz ram, I have to raise nb to 1.2v from 1.1v.

my 720BE was not that great with DDR3 may just be a weak memory controller. only fix i can think of us push you NB up a little more 1.3-1.375v

Okee doke. I'm not gonna worry bout it much. I'm enjoying the setup as is. Just need some insight.

ok i looked into some old pics i had the 720BE could be pushed as high as my other chips but took more voltage for it to work.


edit:

took up to .15v more on DDR and more on core as well

i've heard many times that amd cpu's are VERY happe for low latency memory,

and i've also heard that you should not take the voltage above 1.71-1.75v with phenom IIs

I know, I just did it as a test. Thanks for looking out tho.

@cda

But how much more voltage, that is the question.

1.9v rocking hard! The only determining factor with memory voltage for AM3 is the RAM itself.

whomever told you the max volts was wrong the max volts on a phen om for 24/7 use is well over 2v's the chips can run DDR2 using the same memory controller which goes up to 2.4v on some sticks. i ran upwards of 3v's on my 550BE with no issues
