Yea, i buy all my own stuff. My dad just wonders in sometimes and asks whats just arrived, or what iam doing. I talk aload of technical, and he knows not to come in again for abit.

crazy pyro · Apr 15, 2009

Yeah, I'd like to be talking to one of my parents by the time I leave school, (parents divorced and I've not seen my mother for 2 years).
He also has no idea what he's doing as far as the hardware goes hence me being the family's computer bitch, he's been moaning at me to install windows on an IDE drive so he can give his desktop to my aunt, doens't seem to have realised something: I can't install windows if I don't have the damn drive :nutkick:

alexp999 · Apr 15, 2009

My dad does the same "what are you doing" thing.

He knows a bit about it, I used to learn everything from him, but he is out of touch now

Anyway after a little game of Arma i'l get pictures up.

Also I do plan on doing a vista versus XP.

Got a major prob guys. Well i say major, it still works and stuff.
I used to be able to boot @550fsb no worries, Now it wont after 520. Been like this a couple of days now.
Earlier i was ocing the ram, low fsb & cpu. It blue screened then instantly restarted. It didn't make post and was in a reboot cycle. Got it sorted then went to access bios where it took me straight to ez flash telling me the bios was corrupt, rebooted same thing happened.
So i reflashed with backup bios on second chip (0611). All seemed to be fine. Booted to windows everything @ stock. After about 5 mins system froze and had to be manually rebooted.
Again i was greeted by ez flash, corrupt bios.
Flashed to 1901 and so far its ok, running a small oc.
I can still no longer post above 520fsb , Now i'm :mad:

Do i have a dodgy bios chip or failing mobo component?
Wadja think?

4x4n · Apr 16, 2009

I installed W7 and thought while I was messing around I'd see how far I could get with this Q6600. Now, high fsb with these is not easy, but I managed to get higher than I've ever had with this chip. This isn't prime stable, but it's the clock speed that's the cause and not the fsb. I'd guess I could get a little more if I switch to the 7 multi. I've used this for just a crunching board and haven't done much with it, but I might change my mind with it now.

I'm not really into benching, so the time is nothing impressive, but this shot shows that it is more than just a suicide run.

Ok Alex, add me to fsb chart. :toast:

I cleaned up this post a bit so its easier to read. Its attached below.

crazy pyro · Apr 16, 2009

I'll be aiming to hit 280 FSB this weekend on my quad (yes, 100MHz OC but this is on stock cooling and all 4 cores run at 45- 49 degrees.

alexp999 · Apr 16, 2009

Please get a new cooler so you can properly OC.

AC freezer 7 pro is a great start one cus you dont have to apply the TIM

and @ ace80, you tried going straight to 550 FSB, there might be an FSb hole.

crazy pyro · Apr 16, 2009

Yeah, I will at some point, probably post exams or the pocket money I'm owed since september (my dad repeatedly forgets, I'll let him off for a while since I don't have enough time for extensive stability testing).

MoonPig · Apr 16, 2009

This is abit weird.

I order some stuff from eBuyer last night (going toward a mates build - thats why im changing some of my stuff) and i got a email saying its going to be delayed because of a 'Paypal Address Confirmation'. I looked it up on google and i think it's because i have a debit card on the account, not a credit card.

Anywhos, it said that it'll be delivered on Monday,

. I've just got an email now saying that it's ready to be dispatched. So i sent an e-note asking them to post it today, for Friday, and take the difference from my account.

You reckon they'll do it?

Really hope they do tbh, that way i'll have the Weekend to install eveything, rather than having half a computer sat next to me for the weekend.

crazy pyro · Apr 16, 2009

They just made me re-order everything since the bank thought it was a fraudulent purchase lol, dunno if they'll ship to you today.

Inioch · Apr 16, 2009

Well, after about two hours of cursing and a couple of bloody fingers later, I have succesfully mounted a 5cm fan on the NB. Before over 50c @ load, now max 36c. :rockout:

The process just confirmed my intentions of taking the whole thing apart one of these days, and doing a lot of modifications.

Firstly I need to rerout almost all the cabling, and change the hdd placings. Then I need to take my AC Twin Turbo off, because one of the vddc-heatsinks just won't stick. It keeps falling off, hence vddc slave temps over 100c :eek:

I really don't know what the NZXT engineers were thinking about, when they decided to attach the top of the Tempest with screws that can't be opened once the mobo is in place. :cry:

I want to turn the top 14cm fans in, so that there is positive air pressure. 2x14cm + 3x12cm in, 1x12cm out, plus the pci-cover vents.

Now that NB cooling is in place, I can try to hit that 4G.

MoonPig · Apr 16, 2009

hope they do. Even if it means i have to cancel then re-order. They take orders up to 8pm anyways.

If they do, Friday will be good:
Case, 2 x 4830s and some TIM from eBuyer
Saitek Cyborg from Scan
Motherboard, RAM and Heatsink from Ketxxx
UV lights from Alex

Yey

Edit: Good idea, i may try a fan on my NB...

alexp999 · Apr 16, 2009

I must have got lucky with my Deluxe or I'm doing something right with case flow, my NB is on 31*C idle with no active cooling. Highest I have ever seen it is mid to high 30s

crazy pyro · Apr 16, 2009

Yeah, Alex reccomended the AC freezer 7 pro but I've also read a lot of very good things about the Xigmatex 128X coolers and scan has one of those for £27, how much cooler do they keep the processor than the Freezer 7 pro?

alexp999 · Apr 16, 2009

Xigmatek are some of the best, but i recommeded the AC freezer pro as it has TIM pre applied and it will fit in pretty much any case.

The Xigmas are big and you need to buy MX2 to go with them, plus the backplate.
