Who here has 4.6ghz validation on air or water??

[Titan7171]

After all these tests weve done Im wondering if anyone else got 4.6ghz validation on air or water??

[crazydiamond]

was gonna go for it tonight when i was trying for 4.4ghz 3dmark06... couldnt get past cpu tests, what vcore and temps did you need for your high clocked 3dm06 runs?

i think 4.5 valid would be no problem with cold wisconsin winter air but 4.6 would be tough. i will go for it next few weeks, weather has to be juuuuust right ;)

ps. anyone have a good aluminum cooler (or any non-heatpipe cooler) - my heatpipes were freezing last night within like 30 seconds of having pc hanging out the window, so i had to keep it partway inside the house to find a balance, once the cores got to 6c is about when the heatpipes would freeze and then it would just steadily rise and rise until i brought it mostly in the house. :( which means my lowest idle i can run with this heatsink is about 7-8c, and Wisconsin has so much more to offer than that ;)

[FlanK3r]

I have 4551 MHz (ambients was 13 C )validation with air....More is not possible,maybe with luck i can hit 4560-4570....I know only, 4600 MHz "easily" hit Chew with AIR, think, if he want it, can make validation with air about 4650-4700 MHz

[Zeus]

I had it at 4.6 the other night and tried to validate but i think i did not check the argeement box when installing CPU-Z. Was unable to validate. But i ran SuperPi 1M at 4580 which was much better for me than validating at 4.6 :)

[FlanK3r]

+200 MHz diferent Zeus (my AIR and your watter system :) ). Nice.

[chew*]

4.6 all cores air.....4.7 all cores water with NB cranked on both and optimized ram.......that said I can validate alot higher if only trying to suicide a valid.

[FlanK3r]

its very hard with max RAMs and NB, i have not so high NB, of course. Think, u can hit about 4700 MHz with tweaking AIR (lower RAms+NB), know, AIR is for u so boring :-)...

[Manicdan]

these are some sick numbers, i thought C3 was good for 4200-4300 normally, not 4500

[FlanK3r]

we talking only about max. validation :)...

[Cele303]

Here is my score with Big Typhoon... It is very cold outside, -1°C and I open the window and freezed rig and myself too... :)

Joining the 4.6GHz air club soon with lower nb and ram

[Tomasis]

cele303, nice mem speed 1870

[neo mike]

Nice number Cele on air :up:

[chew*]

Hmm I should probably try some cold air or water testing but I think I have to wait another month for the cold to "kick" in around here.

[FireDragon]

WOW sick ram Cele, nice speed on that, R the 1866 cas7 binned better then the 2000 cas 8? mine ran 1700 all night memtest stock volts 6-6-5-18 trc 24, im working on droping my cpu voltage b4 i go any further tho, stock cooler is just JUNK (as to b expected....will make me appreciate my soon 2 b water cooling that much more!)

[..::G80::..]

I tried last weekend and 4620 was ok, but I didnt to validation. Ambitent was 5C.

[Manicdan]

for you guys C3 stands for Cold Chip Cooking

[aslanwas]

wow 4.7ghz on air is impresive :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[FlanK3r]

this my new max AIR :)

To bad i dont have any 965BE C3 anymore becuse i have -29c outside now... and i´m not afraid to put the stuff outside :) , i have done that before and i will do that again.

Maybe i was hoping to much for some x-mas gift :)



"I have in my left clenched hand a C3 965. I have in my right a C2 965"

[FireDragon]

Its about -12 deg c here atm and it just got dark a few hrs ago so only going to get colder tonight, (and for the next few months) once i get something decent to cool my C3 ill b in here, hoping to get my water cooling sooner b4 latter

Hey was up Diamond.......I believe it was either 1.63v or 1.65v.......leaning toward 1.63 because this mobo overvolts and shows 1.648. if you get it to run let me know what it took?

[Zeus]

Wow, you guys have real cold wheater, here in the Netherlands it's around 0ºC atm, waiting for the temps to drop a couple of degrees below zero.

If i can do 1M at 4580MHz (four cores of course), what will be my max validation frequency? 4650? 4700?

I have no idea, never done validation actually.

[FlanK3r]

ZEus: i had ambients about 11 C yesterday.
my run superpi with aircooling was at 4410 MHz (NB 3000+ MHz). So, max validation i had 4570 MHz (more than 150MHz up, of course, for higher validation u must down NB clock about 1800-2400MHz, it help you about 50-70Mhz up for validation;), RAM downcloks a bit too)

[Cele303]

thanks guys, ram is insane and Gigabyte is awesome, C3 rules, rig is the beast overall...

FireDragon, I don't know, I think that my sticks (3x2GB 1866 7-8-7-20 1.65V) are the same as 2000 C7 (3x2GB 2000 7-8-7-20 1.65V), this is my i7 920 test with advertised speed and timings, so far 1900 7-8-7-20 1T 1.65V no problem...

For you guys trying Sub 0 cold air. Try using a non-heatpipe cooler, It makes a big difference. The heatpipes dont transfer when that cold.

do you have one i could borrow ;)

ive been thinking about getting something like this and probably ripping the fan off & putting my ultra kaze over it :shrug: only problem is i dont have any money :ROTF: i think it will let me go much colder than my 1283 though

Pretty impressed with the new C3 stepping :up:
will try out 965be C3 with Hicookie's optimized bios & D9 KPT to see if I can get better performance

[Titan7171]

4.7ghz+ on air? is that real?? with only 1.56v? How is heat not effecting the overclock at that speed and voltage.........unless its cold air cooled which should be stated?

also please this is just for validation......I dont want this thread filled with superpi scores theres other threads for results.

I definitely loving those results........if they are real hmmm later C3's could yield similar performance #s that would be nice. Maybe 4.3-4.4 is not out of the question in time. Im doing 4.2ghz for 24/7 now.

Hi Titan,

Believe it or not, that's real 4.773mhz on air. I was surprised by this C3 stepping too!

Temp. over 33c will not do any good. So I used 2 pcs of strong fans blowing towards power supply, 2 pcs underneath the MB, and another 2pcs on NB.


Perhaps, I was lucky to get that:)

It's ok if you want me to remove those results of PI & 3DM06. Really want to.....?

BTW, high voltage may not do any good also when it comes to Air

[Zeus]

Mad222, first of all, welcome to Xtreme Systems.

Is your validation with all 4 cores running at that speed or just one core?

In case of all 4 cores we might be looking some more into the 955's as this is a very interesting result!

[crazydiamond]

i tried to join the 4.6 club tonight w/ some cooler air but for some reasons my validations were all hosed up. i saved 1 @ 4612 and 2 @ 4600 that saved fine but when i submitted them it showed 4700mhz on the left side and 4500mhz on the fake cpuz window on the right side lol idk what was goin on i even deleted cpuz and redownloaded it. i will try to get it figured out but i can get 4.6, idk about 4.7 - maybe on 1 core but i think thats still gonna be pushing it

Here's what I did:
Core#0 4.68G
Core#1 4.773G
Core#2 4.75G
Core #3 4.68G

With all 4 cores, I could barely get to 4.7G. As I recall, once or twice!

The validation was based on Core#1 which I've found particularly strong on 955be C3 (I've tried about 5 of them; code 0942 DPMW; 0943 DPAW; 0944FPMW)

I'm still working on a 965be C3 at the moment & will post my result of CPU freq., PI & benching on both air & LN2 just to share with you guys.

Wow well congrats on a great cpu

Nah you can leave it but I dont want the whole thread to be filled with tests results, it should only be validations. Theres lots of threads where people can post 3dm06, super pi, cinebench, and other results.

Anyway welcome, and hope to see some of your results in other threas to compare:)

EDIT:

Also just want to mention, To me and this is just me any cpu validation done with a single core does not count as validation again (to me) All 4 cores have to do the speed a person is claiming. I dont run cores at seperate speeds. cpu's are shipped with all cores running equal speeds. If AMD sent you a quad cpu that they claimed was running 3.4ghz but only one core did that speed and the rest were running at several different speeds I wouldnt count it as a 3.4ghz cpu. so validations need to be all cores.

Got it !
To show my respect to the forum & its' members, I've made my 1st thread.
Hope to get supports from you guys:D

[FlanK3r]

MAD222: congratulations! Can u post some photo your system? And what about max AIT stabil overclock-can u post one hours blend prime test? Very thanks. And next :D, what batch was the best from yours 955?

I'll see what I can do in the next few days trying to run 4G-4.2G with Orthos 9 or Prime 9
The best batch I think is 0944FPMW
Could not get earlier than that in Hong Kong though
My air platform can be found in the video, pls check my thread

[Slappa]

Hmm, I may be able to compete with my C2 here :D

Been having -20C weather here in Alberta, Canada

Just picked up a corsair H50 and will post results soon, because of course I cannot tonight, on this new years eve.

[Zeus]

Bring it on Slappa!

[BeepBeep2]

Hey guys, I'm taken my PC outside soon...it's -5c outside today, and -9c out tomorrow. Lets see what I can get. :P

[crazydiamond]

keep a really close eye on temps, the cores probably wont get much below 6c before the heatpipes freeze, then the temps will just slowly keep rising and you got to let it warm up a little bit. it will happen fast so be careful ;) also try not to let your HD get too cold

[BeepBeep2]

6c in BIOS, 22c in windows...argh, currently priming the cpu, its holding at 40c...not so cold air.

[Zeus]

How can you have 6ºC in bios and 22ºC in windows? I think your bios reading is not accurate.

[BeepBeep2]

neither do I, I just read it for fun. :P

anyway, it seems I topped out at 4.54 Ghz...sadface.

I've got one more core to test.

[Slappa]

Bring it on Slappa!

I've got some bad news Zeus..

I get home last night and start up for a 4.6gig run in the cold air.

It was either some snow flakes landing on the board and melting or I was pushing to hard. My board just turned off and never saw the light of day again :(

I hope I can get back up with another board soon though.

[Zeus]

Oh crap! Not exactly a good way to start the year. :(

I hope you can revive it man, 2 weeks ago i thought my Crosshair went belly up. I was more than just a little surprised when it came back to live after i had pulled the battery out for five minutes.

I hope you can revive it man, 2 weeks ago i thought my Crosshair went belly up. I was more than just a little surprised when it came back to live after i had pulled the battery out for five minutes.

I tried just about everything.

The board turns on, everything turns on. Except, the cpu doesn't get hot (I also tried a diff cpu so it can't be the cpu), and I get no boot, no video.

I tried pulling the battery for around 8 hours, clearing the cmos, reseating everything in the computer, pulling the NB/VRM heatsink looking for moisture. Nothing works.

And yes, a terrible way to start a new year. +1 on my dead hardware count. I have killed almost everything except a motherboard until now.

[BeepBeep2]

Thats gotta suck really bad Slappa!

I hope it comes back, thats one hell of a board.


EDIT:

None of my dumps validate....well I'm pissed but I know that I hit those clocks so whatever....

http://valid.canardpc.com/cache/banner/920309.png (http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=920309)

and

http://valid.canardpc.com/cache/banner/920296.png (http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=920296)

Both are on the same core, and I was able to run Windows for more than 5 minutes at 4.536...

Not cold enough for 4.6 though, maybe if I had -20c weather...:P

[Slappa]

Mine won't validate either. However, here's my first spin with a C3 chip.
My chip has relatively low leakage meaning it hates voltage.

Max bootable setting I've reached so far on the cores are 4028MHz @ 1.4V (stock voltage for this chip) and 2968NB w/ +0.275V, and Ram at 1696MHz 7-6-5-15-11-1T. Can most likely push the NB higher. Can't really get cores that much further as the max tolerable bootable voltage of the chip is 1.45V (Like I said, low leakage).

My C2 could only boot at a max of around 3922MHz which required around 1.475V

This was all done on my Corsair H50 integrated water cooler.....which yields temps very close to that of my TRUE 120. No cold air in this one. My C2 would have needed -20C temps to hit this.

4.558GHz All 4 Cores
PS. Done in single channel because when my last board died it took one of my ram sticks with it. Once again, don't know why this didn't validate. Seemed pretty stable to me.

http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=923503
http://valid.canardpc.com/cache/banner/923503.png (http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=923503)

Even though this thing can't take voltage, I can't wait to see what it will do under cold. It's already a big step up from my C2.
