FEAR NOT CP! for their is a way to redeem yourself. take the 965 and break P20k in vantage. When this is done I will love you again.

exactly. it will be hard to do. your success in doing so will prove your worth in running with the big boys. It will prove your skill and gain much respect from your former i7 family

Bumped up the vcore two steps and Lynx is running now:

Before I could run it, then it would error, lock up or reboot, then it would run again. Do my numbers look good on this? I've never run it before.

mastrdrver · Jan 14, 2010

If that is 4Ghz then I'd say yes. Though, you really need at least 10 mins to know if the vcore is enough. Also, do you have any programs running in the background? If not, the number spread is too much and there is another voltage that needs tweaking.

If you want a meaningfull bench with LinX I would suggest using a problem size > 25000 and memory usage > 5 GB

SummerDays · Jan 14, 2010

Note the limit of 6GB of ram on the system.

Fitseries3 · Jan 14, 2010

The only other things running ATM were CoreTemp, Avast and my Logitech stuff. I ran it again after the post and it locked up (screen goes blank and looks slightly gray). I think it runs once on a fresh reboot, and after running for a day or so it's less stable. I saw this at XS:

try pci-e 105~110, CPU Impedance = less & QPI Signal Compensation = less

I'm going to try that on my next reboot (PCIe is already at 105).

OCing tip of the day...

Use IDE instead of sata when trying for high OCs.

why?

ide is on the pci bus while sata is on the pcie bus.

this will allow you to OC the pcie freq and not "loose" your hdd(s) and will also eliminate 50% of BSOD's at high clocks.

what is a good idle temp for 965 Extreme edition ? atm i get49c core,1,2,3,4 38cpu temp at 3,50ghz stok cooler

Probably a good idea

Slock heatsink is a bit of a gesture.

Chicken Patty · Jan 15, 2010

the stock heatsink did absolutely nothing on my 920 at anything over stock. even undervolted I wasn't able to crunch very good, I had to bring down the usage and all.

BUCK NASTY · Jan 15, 2010

Guy's, Is it better to run ddr3 1333 or 1600? The 1333 has tighter timings or will the 1600 's speed make up for having more latency? I've got to make a decision tonight.

Divide the speed by the CAS number. Highest wins.

Looked in the BIOS, but the last two were already set to less
