@ Jr it's not normally possible to migrate Raid0 arrays to different controllers but you never know you might get lucky as it's only going from one AMD chipset to another and I'd think if even if you did have to rebuild it probably wouldn't take long as it's not like your going SiL to Marvel or Intel or anything else

 

[YautjaLord]

i think Xan....errr Yautja already told us that he is currently unstable, as he said to us, he crashed 15min into linx, from the whole 75min test

Got LinX error on 15th min on 4.0GHz when the RAM freq was 1600MHz; when i changed it to 1333MHz (& CPU/NB to 2600MHz) - got the last stable 50mins run. Didn't you seen my last LinX 50mins run post ? It's on 500th page of this thread as far as i remember, last post there.

yeah, indeed yautja, stability tests are made, so they crash/BSOD as soon as possible, as only the smallest bit is incorrect... if a test crashes earlier, than another, then its the better test for sure

It did BSODed on me (LinX) when i had 4.1GHz, RAM @ 1600MHz/6-8-6-24-2T & CPU/NB @ 2400MHz; it didn't when @ 4.0GHz, RAM @ 1333MHz/7-7-7-20-1T & CPU/NB @ 2600MHz. Happy camper i am now. Oh, when RAM was @ 1600MHz it's voltage was set @ Auto; now it's 1.66v. Anything else ?

Problem is I don't have anything to backup 1TB to. I royally screwed myself by using RAID 0.

 

[Athlonite]

not really you just need to back what you need to keep get drastic with the stuff you can always D/L again and pare it down to something manageable acronis true image home will make quite a small back up if you use maximum compression my 465GB backup came in at 175GB or try one of these from the egghttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136505 it's not that much of a cost

About 100GB of it I can re-download. Like I said, I'm screwed. Can Acronis due a partition clone and not a full drive clone? If so I have an idea of what I could potentially do.

alright, sounds like youre pretty stable now, but not fully stable... but youre on the way.
you can try to play with the ram, CPU-NB and NB voltage, to see if you can gain additional minutes of stability. "sweetspotting" the right voltage for everything surely brought me a good amount of extra stability

Thursday is coming; on that day i should get my compensation/cash from my last job & also contact Gary to confirm my soon-to-be Indigo Extreme ETI purchase; by end of May i'll conduct everything i promised; just if you can - remind me to do what you just said bout tweaking all those, my memory doesn't serve me with all this HTML/CSS/cash/etc... stuff for now.

Sweetspotting ? Sound like "Trainspotting" movie. lol jk It's in a sweetspotting now so far : RAM @ 1.66v; CPU voltage @ 1.4500v; NB & HT voltage @ 1.20v; CPU/NB @ 1.2600v. By the time Indigo Extreme within my grasp - i'll check 1.4600v for CPU : wanna see how will vCore be reported in Power section of BIOS/monitored there & in CPU-Z with this tweak & than test it with said tweak. Stay tuned; end of May - here i come.

yup partition clone or whole drive

 

[YautjaLord]

Did myself some SuperPi 1M, 8M & 32M runs in a raw; diff between 8M before & now some 10+ secs, 32M - 23 secs; (less ofcourse) 1M less as well but don't remember by which margin. Enjoy. Tumbnails :

*UPDATE*

Ran 3DMark11 Perf preset Physics & Combined tests only; score P0, PT & CT score in 4th (last) tumbnail.

My cpu voltage drops :

 

[JrRacinFan]

Ouch. I thought mine was bad!

 

[YautjaLord]

2Claylomax :

From 1.47v to 1.41v ? Also how did you managed to have less then 100% CPU usage @ load ? Maybe you should raise the clock to 200MHzx20.0 & test it. 26mins run ? 3.8GHz ? But i loved the "Finished without errors" part. (not sarcastic for all)

OCCT stays idle for the first minute and stops four minutes before the end, this is reflected on the graph; it'll give you graphs for the voltages and temperatures. I tested at 4000mhz and passed. So to be clear, that's 1.50v in the bios, 1.47v windows idle and 1.42v windows load for a clock of 3800mhz. If I had your chip I would have it at 4300mhz in no time

 

[YautjaLord]

How good Baram is compared to VenomousX ? Saw some review of this HSF just now & there was only TRUE, not VenomousX. Though TRUE was next to Baram. Also what kind of TIM you use ? Mine i said (not that i really mind to repeat) - AS5, until later i'll switch to this Indigo Extreme. Gary also promised to give me a either vid or pics of how they apply this ETI to CPU. I asked him how they'll apply it to 965BE cause i didn't quite understood few steps from manual he gave me. lol

4300mhz highly unlikely clay but possible, i have better batch, and i still having troubles getting stable over 4300mhz no matter how much voltage i send trough it

 

[YautjaLord]

Before jumping over to AMD FX-8130P/Crosshair V Formula bandwagon, i thus ask you all - testing the following under LinX 100mins 10000 problem size & 512MiB run, will it suffice ? Following tweak :

CPU freq=202MHz;
CPU ratio (multi)=20.0;
CPU/NB freq=2800MHz;
HT Link freq=2000MHz;
RAM freq/timings=1333MHz/7-7-7-20-1T;
CPU voltage=1.4600v;
CPU/NB voltage=1.2600v;
RAM voltage=1.66v;
NB voltage=1.26v;
HT voltage=1.20v;
nf200 voltage=Auto.

Say if it counts; bold-out=what will be changed/tweaked-up. Will be tested by end of May/just before FX-8130P & C5F (Crosshair V Formula) availability.

Yes

I took a install on an IDE 7200.7 drive and used Acronis to clone and mount it on a pair of 500GB 7200.12s in Raid 0 because nVidia can't make board drivers that work.

But yea, I did a partition clone and moved to a different controller (I think) without a problem.

 

[YautjaLord]

Where have you all gone, people ? Where are you ? Doing site maintainence/debugging ? It's now week-worth.

 

[claylomax]

Been working; no money, no hardware.

i had stopped overclocking due to the chimp challenge. I'll be back when it's over.

2Clay & CP :

I am learning "HTML, XHTML & CSS for Dummies", visiting "Friday the 13th" party (~5 hours ago it was Friday May 13 ) & still able to check out this thread : damn, i feel like one lucky mofo that i still have spare cash left since i got the compensation from my last job i've being bragging about !!!!!!!! BTW : on Sunday i'll contact Gary Stofer for Indigo Extreme installation & gonna order that same ETI. (Indigo Extreme Engineered Thermal Interface; link : http://indigo-xtreme.com/docs/IndigoXtremeInstallation775.pdf)

This Sunday (day-&-a-half from now) i gonna order this ETI, it will possibly arrive in ~2 more weeks from now; by end of this month i'll also (hopefully) get a Website building job; it's now week worth that i have this CPU (965BE) 4.0GHz stable without any hickup; life is F***in'ACE !!!! lol

P.S. What do you all say bout my prev post where i said that i'll do LinX 100min 10000 problem 512MiB run on following tweak-up ?

P.P.S. Clay & Doph (sorry for off-topic) : i won't be able to visit Deep Purple's concert, BUT - i'll still be able to ask how it was & which band members were playing. PM me for info & (hopefully) photos - i still deliver !!!!!!

@CP

Unlocked Undervolted & Overclocked! Lovin' it man.

 

[de.das.dude]

undervolted and Overclocked?!
damn you lucky bastard.

 

[JrRacinFan]

undervolted and Overclocked?!
damn you lucky bastard.

as an x2 it will do 3.6 @ 1.17v.

 

[El_Mayo]

Tried overclocking my X6 1055T today

It crashed and didn't boot for half an hour

I have no idea why, anyone have any ideas?
I didn't increase voltages at all either
I had the HT at 1920 and the memory at around 1170mhz (down from 1333)
