cpu temp in bios was 4°C, last time 5°C so cpu freq is similar but nb freq is very grateful with ice...

I will show some 3D soon with my new XFX 5870 XXX Edition also...

Yeah im dissapointed with MSI GD70 memory clocking, i can get my cpu well over 4ghz, but memory cant get 1701 stable, infact i cant go over 1700 mgz just wont go, so kinds sucks.

I just ordered my parts FINALLY, so i will post results up soon, ordered an Asus Crosshair III, 2x2gb of Corsair Dominator GT 2000mhz Cas 8, a 965 x4 C3, and a 850 watt Seasonic PSU, the rest of the parts i am taking from my current rig and replacing them with other old parts i have, so i will have 2 systems up and running (well my opty 175 rig is more like half a system, having issues atm)

I'm so wishing I'd waited the 2 months to buy a C3... but again, my mobo could just hate me too.

NB 1.45V
And CPU NB VID +0,500V

C3 is realy good, now AMD give us C4. :D

+05V? :eek: Wow, that means 1.15V+ 0,5V= 1.65V

That is some sick voltage but for sure a nice result.

Yes, X6 with C4 rev. :D

Sick or not, but it helps. ;)

Thuban won't be a rev. C processor. It will be rev. D (D2 maybe).

For validation only:)

I think the same;)

I've been testing my rig outside again tonight and got some pretty good results if i may say so myself.

Ambient temp was 1ºC, nice and chilly, just how i like it. (for benching:))

Here's a quick Cinebench in XP 32 bit: (for Flank3r ;))

Some 3d mark 06 with just a single 4870 under water:

And finally the one i put most effort in and the one i'm really proud of:

Under 15 second, exactly what i was aiming for. :D

Nice Job Zeus, dont get cold enough here to put outside but very good job :up:

congratulations Zeus, great results! Did you see some performance improvement in tRP 5 in spi1M?

Very nice sp 1m time Zeus that is SWEET, does it get any colder there? or is that as cold as it will b all winter? i cant wait after i get my system made it is supposed to b around -15 to -20 F that weekend so as long as i have everything sorted and figured out by then i will try to do some outside air benching sessions

Dragon

Thanks guys. :)

I never ran Trp other than 5 so i don't know how much gain it gives in 1M but ram timings are not that imprortant for 1M, raw speed and high CPU-NB are the key. ;) It was real nice to get 14 seconds after i saw you do it, so far i haven't seen anyone else do it on water or air.

It will get colder, somewhere around wednesday this week temps of -6ºC are forecast. If i feel like it i might give it another try.

Zeus kickin ass and takin names.........Gotta love the winter!:up:

zeus, kickass! :cool:

I was trying 6-6-5-15 and no difference but I didn't change tRC, some say it helps... 6-6-5-15 11 1T, maybe we can hit 14.5s with water :up:

I will steal your outdoor idea to see the difference :D My work office is warm, right know it's snowing outside :D

Makes a diff in 32m when i was testing. Probably not enough of a diff to impact 1m at those speeds but maybe when really cold ;)

Thanks chew, your experience and advices are most welcome! :up:

how much i can go with TRC at DDR2? To time i have 24 (5-5-5-15-24 about 1100MHz)...

Hi everyone, i ordered "Phenom II C3 0942FPMW" and i have a question for this cpu. Whether there is a chance to make 4200Ghz full stable. I searched a little in the forum but i found a few results with 4100 :(

On air? Not very likely I'm afraid. On good water it should be possible with a nice chip.. :)

Guys, all thanks for the kind words. All it took was some cold actually. ;)

feniksgod, 0942 does not seem to be the best week from what i've seen. 4.2GHz is out of reach with normal cooling i think, unless you're very lucky and find a chip that likes some volts.

Hey. I got 0942FPMW under testing today. After hours of testing it looks like max stable clocks for cores are 4080MHz and for IMC 2870MHz. Second core always fails if i raise IMC clocks, no matter what.
That's with Noctua D14 and 26c ambients. My other C3 (0933FPMW) overclocks about same from core's (~4,1GHz) but IMC is much better, with max stable IMC of ~2940MHz.
Havent tested any other C3's, but after hours of testing i must say 0933FPMW (From AMD) looks much better than 0942FPMW (Real retail).
