An Ongoing Tale of Sadistic Pleasures being Taken with the Silicon

[RadeonX2]

is the 8800GT has lights on?

 

[Chicken Patty]

I really haven't tried that many. The easiest one for me is the QX9650. The unlocked multi is the key. Not much to it. Getting an E6600 to 4ghz stable enough to Fold was probably my favorite overclock. The early E6600 was a bear. Took a ton of voltage and produced insane heat. My Phase was overloaded I was seeing 28C load temps.

dang thats pretty crazy temps for a phase setup hehe.


Yeah unlocked multis are awesome, makes overclocking so much easier. Thanks for the input thought dude.


My buddy might be switching back to AMD with the new phenoms Coming out. He currently has an E6300 with a abit quad gt x38 board. I want to see if I can grab that off him for a good deal, and use that as my overclocking, having some fun rig .

 

[theJesus]

I vote for an e5x00 chip. I'd like to see how those clock compared to the e7x00 series.

 

[CyberDruid]

The E5400 is very disappointing. After seeing what guys are getting with the 5200 I was hoping for more.

I have another hard to OC chip coming: a Q8300 ES

 

[theJesus]

How's the E5400 compare to the E7x00 series?

Sweet, looking forward to seeing you that Q8300

 

[MKmods]

how the heck did I miss this thread? Thanks CD for all the excellent info.

Could not get the E7200 to play on my Blitz. I've since put it in a rig and shipped it to my Brother-in-Law

how the heck did I miss this thread? Thanks CD for all the excellent info.

There's info in here

 

[theJesus]

You could have always given the chip to me for my gf

 

[CyberDruid]

But then you would have to give me a special favor...and GFs hate that

DAMMIT where is my Q8300? I need something to beat on...besides my donniker.

 

[intel igent]

alway's nice to see your work Cyber

 

[theJesus]

I hope your brother-in-law didn't have to give you a special favor! I may have to make an avatar similar to Solaris'

I have a E5200 on a P5Q PRO that I've got all the way to 4.3ghz. Im stuck @ a 343 wall on the FSB @ 1372mhz. But, Ive seen them go all the way up to 5.1ghz with a FSB of 405 @ 1636mz on LN2 of course He also has 1.9v running through that chip. Im afraid to go past 1.6v on a 45nm chip.
On another Note....

Cyber... how in the hell did you get that bench station. I really want one exactly like that one. But I cant find it anywhere. I want to buy one when I get my tax return, along with the ASUS Rampage Extreme, and water-cooling. That will be my primary benching board/overclocking setup. I was looking into buying the danger-den torture rack but Im not a fan of plexi/acrylic. Please PM me on how i need to get one, shit If i had a cad drawing I could prolly have my uncle build it from scratch but his prices are wayy to high. Thank you

 

[theJesus]

I can't remember who he got it off of, but it's one-of-a-kind. Some sort of prototype or something, idk, can't remember.

Well while i was reading genos review of the original prototype(from BoxGods), he allows you to download the CAD drawing for the bench. He (BoxGods) had protocase build the enclosure off his CAD drawing. I submitted the drawing to them with a few adjustments to the Rad(triple instead of a dual) and all black powdercoat instead of red. So im waiting on them to get me the quote on the build.

Here is the site that built the bench table for BoxGods http://www.protocase.com/index.php

Here is the CAD Drawing from the original build : http://www.boxgods.com/global/link.php?id=126

 

[CyberDruid]

Sweet. Let us know how much they want to build one.


Now I want to torture the E5200 again... BRB

make it scream!

Well they told me that the quote will be emailed to me within 24 hours.. still waiting.

@ E5200.. How high have you got yours up to. So far I can reach 4.3ghz on air. Im still tweaking it to try for 4.5 But it seems that I cant get past 343mhz on the FSB (1370mhz)

 

[CyberDruid]

I'm a dumbass

I keep calling it and E5400

It's a stinking E4500 (65nm)

I juiced the hell of it and was able to get it to Post at 3.9 (not bad for a 2.2ghz chip) but itwould not load windows.

I bumpe the juicvve right on up there too...3.6 was 1.6 VCcore and 3.9 POST was 1.7 something...

I was really hoping to squeeze 4.4 out of it but I think that isimpossible.

 

[intel igent]

you can try some DICE?

 

[CyberDruid]

The station is at a 45 degree angle...

 

[MKmods]

There's info in here

The station is at a 45 degree angle...

See chocked full of good info..

some of us live vicariously through your exploits (Im a big chicken when it comes to OCing)

 

[theJesus]

Wow, I just now realized what a horrible design flaw that is to put the mobo tray at a 45-degree angle for a test-bench like that

Make a pot with an angled base? idk how difficult that would be . . .

edit: and a very secure mounting mechanism

 

[CyberDruid]

Yeah it's not a DICE station for sure.

 

[_jM]

Well i think you could do it with a bit of elbow-grease... instead of a straight pipe, just use an 45 degree cut at the base witch would make it "straight", and make sure that puppy is locked down real good.. shit i think it would work just fine.

 

[intel igent]

The station is at a 45 degree angle...

never thought i'd see a response like that from you.....

DICE isn't suitable for sustained run time's either, i was merely suggesting it so that you could possibly achieve your desired OC.

thnx
