UMMM, I think I use 1/2 OD, i dunno its the smaller one, always used the smaller so I could fit insulation sleeving over when using chiller.

Thanks for the info Tony. I only use benches as stability testers, but don't forget the internets is serious business ;) Don't go ruffling any feathers. I like my pc to be as fast as I can afford for 24/7 use which means air cooling. I think I'm going to upgrade my hsf if I can't lower my heat a little.
btw little confession, I just noticed I mounted my heatsink with the fan blowing foward instead of towards the rear exhaust :shakes: I wonder if that's why my temps are as high as they are? :rolleyes:
I ever mention I'm scottish and stubborn as a mule.......The board, cpu and xigamatek kept saying NOOOOOOOO!!!! and I Kept saying YESSSSSSS!!!
Some Tape modifications to the xigamatek and a high RPM sanyo denki.........Ac installed in window.........I eventually won in the end ;)
Now I give up on air, there is not .0001 mhz left for hardcore benching on air......Sure I can PI 1m and validate but I've already been there done that so now I want to focus on stability/performance a little more.....
Look at those OCZ animals just tearing it up........I was lazy I did not bench 32M PI however they will pass 32M..........screenshot 2 because "pics or it never happened" ;)

nice work chew*
i need a cooler pronto:rofl:
this stock cooler beggin for mercy
I have 1.3b6 and am starting to think I'm hitting a BIOS issue. Looking at your post(what I put in bold)Maybe that's why I'm having issues going passed 4.1Ghz....I have tried setting after setting with no luck:down:
I'm 100% load right now with 1.5v, and the temp is holding below zero(I don't know how low tho because I don't have a real temp gage and this board hates - temps)
so:shrug:
Anyone know how far, and inbetween some of the voltages need to stay aligned?
So 64bit O/s holds down speeds?

SO SO SO close I was this morning! I want my 10k Xpoints!

137 BETA works very well. I've just got a pair Micron based SuperTalent 2x2GB kit for ~$70. :D

I like them. :)
You use Phase change ;)
Great results guys. I got my board here.. and 1.3b7 works so much better then 1.2 :)
Chew - Nice results on 06.. what were your GPU clocks at for your 4890? I am assuming like 1000/1100?
Oliverda - WOW.. 800 Cas 6.. that is insane.. I can only do 750'ish on my Kingston. Does Microns are very nice.. I might have to try my other set of D9 :) What type of vDDR were you running, and how about vNB?

Oliverda,
Very nice. I have been mainly using Kingstons on my MSI. I need to grab my sticks of Crucial and see what chips are on them :P
Great find for only $70 :)

Wiz released GPUTool the other day if you have not seen it.
Phase:)

Been running BOINC at 100% load all day with no fail.
Also have my PCI-E volts turned up just a tad, along with SB
Thx will take a look at it but I'm not a fan of most utilities.......Unlock the clock limits in CCC and i'm good to go......KISS method.
My best guess damulta is you will be able to run 4.2-4.3 100% stable based on what I can bench at......usually have to drop about 200mhz for prime stable...and I didn't try to exceed 4380benchable in the review, but it may have been possible..
Very light tool it be.
Tab for voltage-you want to blow up your cards you can lol
Heh My bios already loads plenty of voltage :D
Ehh they going on water before I go LN2 so I'll show you what I'm running on stock air Titon ;)
Bios modding was a PITA.....still need to mod in some ram volts, waiting to take the core's heat out of the equasion though.....I have plenty of headroom in my clock slider bar.

Hey Chew.. very nice cards clocks you got there :) I am putting the 955 on phase before going LN2.. trying to get more mileage on this board :P

Is the 4th core unlock possible with 137 beta? Has anyone tried it?
For all good boys who play by the rules. :D
Official 1.3 Bios is out!

What is - Support NPRP project?
I wonder if they changed anything over the beta bios.
Over at ocz forums, Tony said the 1.3 is based off the 136 beta and 137 beta is a newer bios possibly leading to a 1.3.x bios. Nprp from what I've been able to google has to do with cool'n quiet.
