Great work Pentium777.. You sorry sack of $#@! !! No just kidding i tried and tried for 287 and couldnt get it. Guess imma have to try and try some more!!
How do u like the AMD side of the fence? Intel better watch out. Every year AMD gets better and better.
Intel got better this year too with the Dothan. If there was a Dothan mainboard with PCI-E I bet there would be a LOT of people running that.
Well it was a pain in the @#$% to get going thankfully I got it all figured out, mainly a lot of setting that can fubar you with the DFI board is what hung me up. That dram from Normal to Fast really screwed me badly.Quote:

BTW why does :banana: mean........ you know..
Anyway my 287 although is stable isn't something I'd want 24/7 just like you running 255 24/7 I'll be putting it back down a bit to get max OC of CPU. What do you think is the safest and highest Vcore to run?
AMD is on top right now with X2 imo, Intel is getting stomped, I game a lot and this is just the best CPU all around there is.
Not real sure bout max vcore for x2. I'm pushin 1.7 on my sandiego and major is over 1.7 on his x2. I'm still on air so kinda scared to go above 1.7. I'll be ordering a swiftech water cooling kit soon. Anybody have any suggestions for water?
Ok back to business.. Bios 704-2 Optimized Defaults + tref change to 0780 (thanks pentium777) 288*9 2.8v 32m passed very first run. No tweaking needed. Only change from optimized was 0780 tref which pentium777 used for his 287. Going for 290 after dinner.
CPU-Z 288*9 2.8v

So we can confirm that tref 0780 and/or bios 704-2 yields the better OCs?
I'm gonna fire up with 0780 to see if I can get higher. I'm still on 6/23 bios... :confused:
Remember to be careful with 704 bios. DO NOT use any special vid over 113% or you could fry yor chip.
Nah, don't worry. Still just using 6/23 bios. I still can't get my ram over 285mhz stable. No matter what vcore and tref. I wonder if 704 bios would help. Kinda doubting it though. 270mhz for day to day at 2.6v really isn't all that bad. ;)
EDIT: Still can't get mine over 275mhz stable. Even with 0780 and 3120
704 suprised me. its my favorite
Pentium, get me a cpu-z verified link and you'll be up.
DB Updated. :)
Damnit, just did some more OCing and I borked my hard drive. Tried 270x11 for 2970mhz. Used 1.75v too just to be sure and I crapped up my hard drive. Whole partition got freaked out.
Time to reinstall :(
cpu-z is verified on his screenshot its http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=29035Quote:

I am on air only if I had water might do 280x10, but my testing in 3dmarks05 have proven that past 2.5ghz there is very little improvement in real world 3d gaming. Actually about 1 point per mhz which isn't all that good 100mhz OC for 100 points 3dmark? actually from 2.532 (282x9) it was 8650 or so and 2700 is around 8710 so even less than that. That's at 1024x768 too so think about higher res >=1280x1024 would be gpu bottleneck anyway.
Congrats to everyone pushing higher and harder! :toast:

I had to fill out basically enough paperwork to start a bank loan and then the demo price they gave me was practically the price on the market minus about 5%...... Anyway giving them the benefit of the doubt I decided to go through regular "egg" channels to try just 2x512mb of their ram, turned out one stick of ram was bad out of the dual channel 1GB matched set. Returned exchange for Corsair at the time.
I have to say though I have an OCZ powerstream and it went bad within 6 months and tech support (Steve maybe) was excellent got me a new PS quickly and hasslefree. So with all the reading that people like OCZ I guess it is tough to say they aren't good, they probably have great memory just my bad luck at the time.
BTW in case you all curious here I am on XFX 7800 GTX Single card with my 2x1GB Ballistix
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=1062325
Still OCing the video should get a bit more out of it.
OCZ has awesome products and pretty damn good service too. i had 2x512 vx gold. Went bad (cold boot issue) they exchanged it for me. I didnt want the VX again so i asked for some tccx and they gave me a set that retailed for $40 more than what i paid for the vx. Returned 2nd day air. If OCZ's memory is even a little better than this ballistix, i will sell the ballistix and get the OCZ.
