The AMD Phenom II OC'ers Club

[Assassin48]

The grocery store sells it. I get mine from Kroger

really?
hmm need to go down to WinCo and ask.


i have been reading that the 940 likes more cold then voltages

 

[DV8tion]

I bet they have it. Be careful with the stuff though. It'll burn ya.

 

[Assassin48]

I need to get some gloves and an ice chest for this stuff how much would i need?

How much you pay for it /lb?

 

[DV8tion]

I usually buy a 2lb bag.
here's a place you can get the all the info you want.

[DV8tion]

It's cheap man ... prices vary not sure why but Never more than 5 bucks.

Thanks i found a couple of stores
i will be calling them in the morning for sure.

ill try to get 3-5lbs maybe?
i have a plastice bucket already or would it break because of the cold?


EDIT* i guess a styrofoam container is the best thing to use

 

[DV8tion]

I use a cheap Styrofoam cooler. A couple things to watch, condensation of course and give yourself time to get the system shut down before the temps start to normalize. I started messing with this supercooling back in the late 80's. But never even dreamed about using LN2 or LHe. Just bizarre. That means you CD !! you freak.

what do you mean

1.leave it on after i finish with ice
or
2.start the ice and wait a little bit then turn on the computer

 

[DV8tion]

get the temps into cryo range before you do any strong clock work, then leave yourself time to get your system back into a reasonable operating state before the temperatures go up. The risk being getting so caught up in the OC run that you loose track of your cooling supply and cook the poor thing.

 

[Assassin48]

ill come in and take some pics of the setup before i actually start this way i can get some pointers and not mess up anything

 

[DV8tion]

Not a bad idea. These guys are REALLY good at this stuff. And I gotta humbly say I ain't bad myself.

 

[fullinfusion]

What will yeild better cooling results?
My H2o setup goes like this.... pump is mounted to the rez..... so it sucks from the rez--pump--cpu block--rad--rez....
would it cool better going from rez--pump--rad--cpu block--back to rez?

 

[DV8tion]

I have always run h2o rez > pump > rad > cpu > rez, but I never had any scientific reason for it ... that is just what made sense to me.

me and freaksavior bought 30lbs last time we benched together lasted is about 8hrs non-stop benching on the phenom II

To the gods of overclocking : I need a little help.

I have my 940 @ 3877 (235*16.5) This is as high as I can take it and stay stable. I am (very) happy with this clock, but feel she has more in her. I downclocked my ram, so I know that is not the prob. I have 1.55v @ the core (yes I am on air, but the cooling is handled ). I am running a DFI LP 790FXb-M2RSH, and have given a little bump in voltage to the NB & HT, but IDK what is "safe". Temps are not really an issue, as the ambient temp of the case is 18c, and the board has a pretty good chipset/mosfet cooler.

I want to hit 20,000 3DMarks with my 4850's, but I just need a hair more out of the proc. Suggestions??

Also, can I get an add to the club?

 

[Darknova]

Anybody any good at modding AMI BIOSes?

 

[cdawall]

i'm ordering a air cooler for my chip and using the water for benchmarking GPU's only


sub $50 suggestions?

your in good clock i wanna see some better ram clocks

I am running the Mugen 2 @ 1.55v with good case cooling and I could not be happier.

Here is a comparison @ xbit: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/coolers/display/core-i7-coolers-roundup_18.html#sect0

looks good willl getit when its not out of stock everywhere

 

[Assassin48]

That last pic shows core temp 10 degress higher then the lan program

 

[JATownes]

Yea, I know. Core temp has been off 10-12c since I first installed it. Smartguardian, Everest and Sandra all read the same though. That is why I included it coretemp in the pic, for reference. I believe Coretemp is reading the temp of the actual core itself, hence the difference, but I stand to be corrected on that.

Have you tried Rebels Haven?

Have you tried Rebels Haven?

Yeah I have. Unfortunately I can't get my head around hex.

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

can i get an add in the club as well

currently im att 3500ghz on my 940 anybody got any tips for getting her stable at 3.7-3.8

i can set NB voltage but i cant touch HT voltage im on an Asrock AOD 790GX
