SD3700+ on air (italian effort)

First post on these forums, have been reading quite a lot about here lately though. I have all to learn.

This will not sound extreme like most of the stuff I've seen going on here but it's my effort on air anyway.

Untweaked/unclean OS, not defragged either, been trying out good few games. Spi times won't be very good also because the ram isn't maxed out.

Still playing about with the cpu as im typing this.

Specs are

A64 3700+ KAB3E 0547GPMW
DFI LP UT NF4 Expert
A-data Winbond BH-5 pc3200 2x256
PoV 7800GTX
some 120GB SATA Maxtor
some cheapo 700W PSU (which im looking to upgrade asap)
cooled by an Arctic Freezer Pro64 and an open window :P

this setup looking stable so far. about to try 3ding.

this was pushing it abit too far, tried playing few games but it crashed. need more volts :P

Can run 3dmark/play Q4/BF2/NFSMW not a stutter/crash or anything at ~3100mhz with 1.52 vcore however prime fails.
100% stable at 275x11 @1.45 vcore (my 24/7 setting @the mo it seems)

Looking for stability at 3150/3200, i'm working onto it right now.

Forgive any spelling/whatever mistakes, english isn't my mothertongue. :D

welcome on XS forums :)
nice, but there are a lot of chip with this step that do better. mine is occt stable at 3.1Ghz 1.39v aircooled
you can improve your pi 1M result pushing more your BH5 sticks ;)

what are your load temp for 1.55v? is it have still ihs on it?

My psu is holding me back big time, keeps crapping out. I'll have to buy a new one tomorrow. can't expect much from a cheapo budget psu.
as per stock voltage it can do 275x11 passing occt test. but prime fails.

i'm still looking for stability before i push my ram :p: i will be back with some better times tomorrow hopefully :D .

load temps at 1.55v are 41C°, IHS is on. i'm sure the expert has some kinda wrong reading. I'm at 27C° as we speak @1.55v idle.

41°C for load temp :eek: yes i thinks your mobo is wrong
mine is going at the same temp at defaut vcore and ihs get off and putted back with as ceramique on ultra-d

Nice, nice!

I am happy to see lots of Italians joining the forums lately :)

wow. my 148 is 3G @ 1.6v. very nice!

nice.

Wow, That is a nice oc for a first timer. Good stuff man,

Nice OC on air

ty guys :)

Little update with fairly less vcore and an even more messed up winxp.. more to come ;)

I shall be getting busy with PI times. should be able to be into the 26,3xx with ram at 260ish and clock a bit higher, may even go for 25,9xx but i aint too sure i can make it ><

good baby :D
vai avanti così paesa' :D

Very nice. But you need to bump up that mem speed, your PI is really slow.
Here's mine at ~2.95 Ghz

rally nice clocks, but as the one above me said, u need to work some on your PI time, it can be better, try finetuning memory timings..

in super PI I take 27,433 with Opteron 146 @ 3090 mhz but with TCCD ram at 2.5 4 3 0 timings :D
(scuse me for my bad english)

not bad but what does your BH5 max out at? imo if you dropped cpu speed slightly and made the RAM 1:1 it would give a much better superpi time

BTW, How did you Oc that nice and kept those temps down lower than mine(whick is at a puny 2.4ghz)? What do you have for a HSF?

here's what i have so far, not exactly a cold night tonight (20C° ambient)

edit: for some reason i loaded up old vers of cpuz.. ram is actually at ~260mhz(180div)

Artctic freezer pro 64 HSF. I also have set +4 to cpu temp in bios since this expert seems to read cpu temp cooler than what it actually is.

I'm impressed but BH-5 scares the heck out of me, I don't want to FUBAR my memory controller.( call me a puss :sofa: )

Or is this UTT, seems kinda high for BH-5?

:stick:

Nope theyre a-data pc3200s with winbond old bh-5 ics (306we)

I'll be away couple days for easter, when i get back i'll set up a decent windows install and push the cpu a bit more for the 25,9xx goodness :toast:

haha nice adata old bh5 rules,. i have one pair of them to, i can get them stable in superpi 1M@272, 2-2-2-...

i see that your pi time is better now nice work man really nice :toast:

Very nice results :)
