what board and system is that E?

Dr. Spankenstein · Apr 9, 2008

Wow! 50MHz nets you more than 40 CPUmarks! That's pretty huge!

Simma down now....

erocker · Apr 9, 2008

Asus Maximus 1004 bios w/E8400 and AxeRam @1175mhz.

erocker · Apr 9, 2008

Yeah, I'm done now. Honest.

This chip rocks! The temps at that speed idled at 35c per core! It's about 62F in this room. That Guy deserves #1. :toast:

* I really don't want to burn out my cards. I have to save my hardware for my quad core.

Dr. Spankenstein · Apr 9, 2008

DaMulta: Can I has BIOS?

Asus:

No!

erocker · Apr 9, 2008

Never do it that way D! Download the bios file, put it on your desktop, and flash from file.

I always like the lazy way :pimp:

I'm breathing down your neck "That Guy". This chip doesn't even need the voltage I used @ 4.2ghz with this new bios. Cards are not overclocked. 850/1197.

* I may need to underclock my Vram a little to Oc my cores a little more. Working on it.

what the FFFFFFF!!! how? is the 1004 bios that good?

erocker · Apr 9, 2008

I'm not too sure yet. I didn't want to admit it but I just had a lock-up for no reason. :eek:

I think I had my NB set too low though when I went back to a 375 fsb. I'm running stock 333fsb and 800mhz on the ram to make sure things are cool. I hope I didn't eff up my memroy. :eek:

Goat how is it you are able to pull off that incredable 19200+ score with a pair of 9600 gts
whats the secreate I am not saying you did not do it but to land 600 points behind a pair of gtx's running the same speed cpu is nothing short of an act of god. I would be willing to pay large sums of cash to know how.

SKILL my good man

... No seriously a lot of planning, BSODs, tweaking, tweaking, tweaking, testing, testing, restarting, testing, crashing, testing, tweaking, crashing, and sleeping and dreaming about testing :laugh:

Yea, it ant like non-of us has ever fried any ram before.

how much voltage have you gave it?

Are you sure your not in a FSB hole?

I can't hit 4.6 it's driving me crazy........

Everytime I kill hardware it takes a little piece of my soul.

i've tried 10x and 9x multi's and i can get both to boot at 3.87 but no higher. thats with 1.575v vcore and 1.71v NB, cpu gtlref at 0.67x

i heard that changing your dram gtl settings helps your ram to not cause lockups.

DaMulta · Apr 9, 2008

Mussels said:
i can run at 1000 5-5-5-15 or 800 5-5-5-12. it doesnt help much - has to be 667 to get CL4

Anyways, i guess i'll lower the settings in the Nv panel and see what i can get...

Do you have your ram set on t1 or t2?

Try t2 and see if you can get lower timings.

i collect those souls and revive dead hardware

Seriously, you should see the amount of things my father and brother have killed alone, that refuse to work... yet as soon as they walk out the door, i pick it up, shake it, kick it across the room and it suddenly works again. I've had PC's that refused to boot for 2-3 weeks, he turned it on in front of me , nada - i push the button the next time and it just worked.

this has nothing to do with 3dmark however, sorry :toast:
