Here is my load temps now with the H50 mounted on a Danger Den Torture Rack. 39ºc at the moment.

I think the guy on e-bay got the TWKR review confused. What does he mean more leakage means higher OC's? It sounds like more leakage means hotter running which means you need really good cooling or your OC'ing results will stink. Am I correct? :wtf:

these things are made for LN2,Phase and He2

in this case, its a "useful" leakage, meaning, these things can take massive overvolting,during benchsessions

i need to get in touch with JJ soon. with DTV dragon and wolf helping me with my 5850s i really want to revisit the idea of figuring out if i can get this processor stable past 3400mhz on this mobo and ram *granted i know all 3 hate each others :roll:

but should still be settings to give me the stability i couldnt find before

have you tried to use ACC?

more leakage means you can run higher volts which means you can clock higher

crazyeyesreaper · Mar 7, 2010

tried ACC all settings velvet i can pass linx prime etc all day but windows will give the PnP error no matter what i do the cpu ram and mobo are just not friendly with each other lol

ah damn... im sorry for you, that you are that mistreated by your system

You should be able to hit 3600MHz to 3700MHz with ease with the cpu you have. The 940's do require a good bump in volts, maybe around 1.45v.
You might need to update your bios.

But your problem may be what Gigabyte has not been doing. They seem to lack proper bios support one reason why I don't buy Gigabyte motherboards. There latest bios is a BETA :eek:

Are they for real :laugh:

ive had my cpu pass LinX up to 4ghz just any 3d task caused Windows to throw a Plug N play error and it says it will shut down in 30 secs

but i can pass prime linx occt etc etc up to 3800 but soon as i load GTA IV or Crysis i get that error but Heavens bench and Dragon Age run flawlessly go figure i say my system just dosent like each other the parts at odds

literally ANYTHING past 3400mhz 2000mhz nb will not allow me to run most games

not sure about GTA IV but Crysis sucks the life out of your pc little by little until its un-usable so be carefull or you'l lose out

Ok guys I am back.

Whenever I bump my multi up to obtain 3.6Ghz I can't OCCT small set it as it gives me a random restart, no BSOD. See specs as to where I am at currently. Any insight?

THe cores. 36ºc on the CPU is only the ambient around it I think. The cores are actually a little hotter which is what you actually want to look at.

YautjaLord · Mar 7, 2010

Wafer, the experiment is close by & if you wanna know, i was only joking : i wanna see if the 3.9GHz is reachable with the setup i'll have - TRUE+2 of those CM fans, no offence k ? :laugh:

Once i'll reach this 3.9GHz clock i'll try to sell those 2 CM SickelFlows & get something better, atmost pair of Magmas or Scythe's GentleTyphoons. The later are great for cooling down the TRUE, as some PC store worker implied to me. Hope to reach 4.0GHz with that setup.

Drawback to High Leakage, More susceptible to destroying itself

we´ll see! mr. uzi gal, im interested! but dont forget to pull your nb up at least to 2400 mhz, otherwise it would be without real use

makes things more difficult, due to heat output

LN2 benching destroys things... thats the way it goes

the most important, is to get a few really great benchsession out of it

I've seen people bench a CPU under LN2, then put it back on air and it works fine. However, I don't think that's a great idea.

I just wonder when AMD is going to get off their laurels and Start Dominating Intel in IPC/ power useage. I mean their graphics division is whooping Nvidia now and Intel was forced to not release Larrabee.

Parts AMD did well in

Athlon XP (Up until P4 HypThr at 3.4-3.73GHz)
Athlon 64/X2 (Up until Core 2 and Core i5/i7)

Back in those days AMD didnt need the clock speed to match or dominate Intel parts that were running at Clock those Clock speeds aka AMD at 2.2GHz matched Intel at 3.2GHz

Well with all the crap Intel was doing, AMD just couldn't afford the extra R&D to release a CPU to whoop Intels arse. That's why Intel is getting sued now. AMD was forced to sell at less in order to compete. Let me tell you though, they still make some kick ass CPU's :rockout:

2400MHz ? You said 2000-2200MHz is the highest, above that no benefit. Ok then - 2 more days left til i place an order & get TRUE : by the end of this week i'll conduct something, deal. See you all in 3.9-4.0GHz wonderland people, lol. :toast:

lol i havent said that, because its wrong

NB speed is related to memory speed, if your mem is ass slow, then it surely would bring you no great benefits. but then, up from 2600,not 2400

and if you have fast ram, 2600+ will benefit you,clearly
