the offer is very tempting, might see if another wants to place a higher offer, i can get a full x58 setup for around 1000$ used, maybe less if i dont buy the gfx used and go for a new one, maybe a 5850 for later cf

Not a bad deal at all, especially from a crunching perspective :D

Today is the day : in few moments (hour & some) from now i'll have the 955BE CPU. Any warnings/suggestions/etc how i adjust voltages/frequencies/MHZ raw power for 3.6/3.7GHz OC on stock air cooling, before i start tweaking ? Might also buy some wires for fan control panel. Finally, going for TR's ChillFacotr 2 cause next month (or end of this) i'll finally buy TRUE. Suggest people & thanx in advance/anyway. \m/

It's as easy as just raising your multiplier. Keep the temps below 55º, max safe voltage for me is 1.5v. Good luck :toast:

That's the easy OC, the best OC is a mixture of both ;)



Oh and 1.5v is a no on my rig CP. Already hitting 53C crunching load. :ohwell:

1.5v not supposed to be safe overvolt on stock AMD's air cooling now, or is it ? Also need to consider the fact, i don't know yet whether it'll be rev. C2 or C3 CPU. Nevermind - THANX !!!!!!!

For X3 720 ~3.5GHz OC - is it on air cooling ? I saw 720 can go higher, though i don't remember whether it was on plain-jane air or water cooling. Nevertheless nice OC. And yeah - balanced mixture of both is the way to the top. :) :rockout:

Air cooling. A Rocketfish knockoff of the CoolerMaster TX3. I have a weird quad rail psu and ram isn't great, so I am kinda limited. It's fine for duals but add another core and it causes instabilities with overclocking involved. The "video card" rails are fine, I have ran 8800GTS SLI on this psu before without issue. May ask the wife if she would be willing to swap power supplies with me for a few days to test my theory.

I could probably push it higher if I wanted to but heat is an issue.

Help attention black edition X4 owners Okay before I buy a 945 c3

one of you guys with a 955 or 965 use the 16x multiplier and see if you can hit a stable 4.0ghz with your ram at ddr1600 or at least tight timing.

What? You asking if the bus can be raised using the x16 multi to hit 4ghz stable using the 1600mhz divider? 250x16 = 4ghz and the memory set at 1600mhz will be 2000mhz...

Im using a 955 c2 and 4GHz is easy at 1600mhz with 7.7.6.15.25 1T timings..

stable? well for running any benches it is but i dont run it like that 24/7

Have it, clocked default for now, after i'll come back (from pub :)) i'll raise the frequencies/voltages, here's the CanardPC/CPU-Z dump :



FYI : don't worry, i won't be drunk to perform these actions, in fact i even promised to play AvP3 MP demo. :lol: Few pints of Guinness didn't make anyone drunk. :rockout:

It'll work with either chip.

24/7 because the 945 uses a 16 x multipler

well I went ahead and payed the extra 9 dollars for A 955 C3. It most likely will have better resale

Wow ya splurged hey Trt lol... I cant wait to see what it can do over my c2 chip :respect:

hey the truth is 9 dollars is nine dollars but if thats the case a 925 c3 is 139.99 so now it's only 20.00 etc and you could go all day with that. I was just trying to save as much as possible. The 945 would have had good resale as well because it a 95 watt chip and the 955 is a 125 watt (atleast on paper)

Still 9 dollars is nothing in this day and age, I'm just glad to see you forked out the extra... you wont be disappointed :rockout:

Kei how low were you wanting a mobo to go voltage wise for the memory?

The new CrosshairIII bios has dropped the voltage down to 1.51v

is there ANY AM3 board with SLI capabilities?

i can find tons of AM2+ but cant seem to find any real am3 boards

it would be nice to have either my present cpu or the new x6 when it comes out + a pair of the new nvidia gpu's in sli
