I'm waiting on my gigabyte board. Should have it by Thursday... Then I'm going to play with the 875k and see what I can accomplish with this puppy!
Big budget! That is a temping cpu, but I can't drop that much right now. :(Quote:

yes i requested that LLC is removed from future bios updates only for i7 lynfield as it hinders overclocking
there are some other minor changes

I recieved the Lian Li PC-Q08 mini-ITX Case today and after some measurments it's clear that the Thermalright AXP-140 will fit on the millimeter. There is room for drop a 140x25mm fan over it, then there will be 10mm up to the PSU intake. Perfect!:up:
Why don't you just cool it with an H50? It fits perfect in the top fan slot of that case and actually leaves a lot more room for airflow in general, not to mention that it will provide some serious cooling for most any chip you would use with this board.Quote:

Nah, it's too noisy. The pump is not exactly dead silent, and this build is meant to be a media PC placed in living room and on 24/7. The performance from the H50 is not what I would expect from a watercooling setup. I strongly believe that the Thermalright AXP-140 performs better as well.Quote:

I have been using my Venomous X for the last month and it has been cooling my 650 almost as well as my water cooled 655k. Both are running the same mobo and memory and they both can do 4.5 with reasonable voltages.
You will really like this board:up:
The H50 might not match your typical W/C setup, but I doubt the AXP-140 can match it without a noisy fan.Quote:

i am working out the details dont worry there is plenty of time still
and air guys are in with a chance just start to read up and practice your tweaking skillz for SuperPi :D
Nice to know!
I need to better my SuperPi skills anyway, maybe this will help!
Has anyone tired this board under subzero yet?
Looks so good on air, interested to see if it hold up when cold.
james has
kicks ass
that 1210Mhz 7-7-7 run was done subzero
Nice timings teir dinos :up: Which dimms?Quote:

I will run some super pi stuff at the highest speed 24/7 safe, just so people can compare.
I have a question for you guys.... Mosfets that need cooling, which ones? (I color coded them to make it easy!) Please mention anything I missed!
As you can see, I put 8 on, I figured the red arrows need them, not sure about green or blue.:shrug:
http://i32.tinypic.com/2ykzyu8.jpg
http://i31.tinypic.com/i3xrid.jpg
Where do you get such small heatsinks? I couldn't fit mine!
Just got my i3-550 and dropped it in. VID is 1.28v, not too happy about that. Best I got after a quick test was able to boot into bios @4.2Ghz with 1.2v.... So much for K0 stepping...:shakes:
Gonna install OS and see what gives, but I don't have any high hopes with this dog..
EDIT:
Hmm, it seems like the F5b bios is somewhat buggy, if I set a fixed QPI link I get the crappiest OC, but when on auto I can actually boot into bios @4.9GHz on 1.38v. Oh well, enough with bios "OC", will try some real OC once OS is installed. Still waiting for a cooler though..
i think he may have done a hack job on the bigger onesQuote:

So guys, back to my question, which chips should I be cooling?
Oh well, best I could do with the i3-550 was 4.3GHz, on stock cooler. To get 4.0 I need 1.35v...:rofl: I hope is not representative for the K0 stepping...
Up on the shelf it goes, no use to poke in it until the cooler arrives.:down:
Just got my board in and I have two cheapie Clarkdales:
3937B689 Costa Rica and
L942B834 Malayaysia
Which of these two do you think will be the better overclocker?
Since everyone's getting in on the fun and my ram is no where to be seen and I don't get my case till tomorrow... I figured I'd go through my old fan collection.
What do you guys think of this set up for some OCing?
http://i26.tinypic.com/34fhc48.jpg
http://i28.tinypic.com/slmtso.jpg
Btw.... I think UPS fornicated with my i5 760! :shakes:
http://i30.tinypic.com/i5d469.jpg
You got that 760 that just came out? What's the pack date on it?
Pack Date: 7/01/10 :D
Quick question ..... Are you on F2 or F3 bios? Which do you find better? Mine shipped w/ F2 and I haven't stared OCing yet, but I think I have a lot of headroom.
My vid (core voltage) is 1.152 w/ stock settings while prime runs. Sits around .89v idle. Maybe I lucked out for once?
Well, Malaysia has a better reputation from what I can recall. But again, my 550 dog is a Malasiyan chip so nothing is certain, allways luck of draw..;)Quote:

Not to keep posting stupid questions, but did you guys have any issues w/ sleep mode in windows?
MY PSU DIED LAST NIGHT. It died RIGHT after the rig went into sleep mode. No OC, low voltage ram, gtx260 @ stock. I am confused and I am RMAing with silverstone. Going to call them today and hope they pick up.
I'll be trying for a high OC today, so I think I'll update to F3. I hope there wasn't some bios issue that caused the PSU to die. It just seems coincidental.
Sounds like a freak occurrence to me. I tested S3 with stock and OC; suffered no PSU loss.Quote:

Could someone give me some hints about what is a safe vcore, vtt (and anything else that's relevant) for this board? i don't see a need to even hit 1.3v vcore for my cpu (21x191) but It fails stability even though 185x21 has no issues. :shrug:
i have very good cooling on my mosfets. ALL copper w/ a san ace cooling them! :up:
Cooling the MOSFETs won't increase their current handling capacity. MOSFETs can conduct well over 100 Celsius if asked to do so. Obviously higher temps aid in junction breakdown over time, but current limits are current limits whether the MOSFET is hot or sitting beneath an ice cold heatsink. If you're pushing with a 4 core chip keep the speed to 3.6GHz tops (most mini-ITX boards hit their long-term safe limits in this range). VCC is three phase, using 30~35 amp FETs.Quote:

So an i5 quad pulls as much voltage as an i7? I thought the i7 would push the board harder, or rather the i5 would stress the board less, ergo allowing a higher OC. Thats why I went i5.
It will stress the board less than an i7. If you want to be truly safe then 3.6Ghz is what I feel comfortable enough telling you to run. You can go higher if you wish, but long term it's probably kinder not to push the FETs to 90%+ all the time.Quote:

Just trying to find a cheap partially decent cooler that will fit this board, not in a case, and also fit a 890FXA board as well.
Or can anyone tell me a few $25-40 coolers that would fit that bill, both boards and case clearance does not matter.

My lowly G6950 is at 4.2 Ghz right now running LinX. Max load so far is 62C at 1.376V.

I'm a beta tester for this new case. I got an SFX by Silverstone, but a full size ATX power supply will fit. Drive bays are underneath the slim optical bay, which is under the power supply. Case can take 1 3.5" and 2 2.5" drives (I could probably squeeze 1 or 2 more in non-standard locations if I got tricky.
So tempted to get the h55 ud3, was reading over a review in my pc authority magazine, even has a pcie-16x hehe, Might get one for my HTC ..
I can report that the Thermalright AXP-140 fits in the H55n-USB3 and Lian Li PC-Q08B case like it's a match made in heaven. It's a matter of a millimeter on two of the four sides, absolutely perfect! It's almost perfectly centered under the PSU. Load temps with the Yate-Loon D14SH-12 fan blowing directly upwards into the PSU has been lowered with 30C. Now @4.0Ghz on 1.25v, load 50C. Idles @ 32C with the fan spinning at 25% (650rpm). Dead silent. CPU is a dog though...:down: Max OC is 4.6GHz on 1.4v...
Do you find your temps better with the fan blowing down into the axp or pull up through it?
Hmm, did not even test in push down config. I should have of course, give you guys some input on it. I don't think it's much of a difference, and after a couple of hours priming the MOSFETs was not really that hot. I could hold my finger on them for some 5 seconds before burn sensation, and could not find any fluctuating value in Speedfan that rose more than 20C as well.Quote:

This would be my first LN2 cpu pot and I want one that will work on a few different sockets. Also if anybody has any idea of where to get a decent sized dewar in California for LN2 then shoot me a pm, I have two of these boards and few i5's that are ready to see some sub zero temps
I cant see why any one would want to put an LN2 pot onto one of these little boards, I mean............. its nothing short of torturing BABIES :eek: :shakes: :yepp: :up:

Ah, mine are running hotter than yours, which makes sense. Not sure how long this board will last w/ my quad at 3.8ghz, but I don't see it killing the board anytime soon.Quote:

Unless you have a fairly powerful fan, it won't make TOO much difference. I can barely feel a Scythe GT 1850 blowing across the board where as a turned down san ace just has much more static pressure and provides a far better cooling experience for my set up.
4.5 Ghz, will try Linx stability later:

i suggest you find another HDD somewhere and load up a light version of Windows Xp with some of the tweaks you'd need to run Pi even faster and try improving on your time. This H55 comp is about improving yourself and how you run Pi........thats the spirit of 32M SuperPi challenge threads anyways
any oppinions on bit-techs review stating this is a great oc board poor poor gamer?-
??Quote:
That said, the Gigabyte board can't translate the extra GHz to fps, as the H55N failed to improve much on its dismal showing in Crysis even with the i5-661 ticking over at 4.4GHz. Clearly there is something amiss with the PCI-E connection of this board. However, that's hardly a damning criticism, as by installing a card that's longer than the board and taller than the CPU cooler, you'd have to house the system in a micro-ATX case, and which point you should opt for a more adaptable micro-ATX motherboard. Overall then, it's a mostly impressive outing for the H55N, with the only downside a practical irrelevance.
doesn't make much sense to me
http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/mot...-motherboard/9
If you look at the actual Crysis graphs those comments are based on, the differences are too small to be of damning consequence.
soooo close to the 7's on the unlimited challenge and I am still on Windows 7 Ultimate x64 so there is much room for improvement (nlited xp, maxmemm, LSC, and Copy Wazza).
start tweaking them man common this is what its all about :D
wow i love when reviewers go out of their way to create a storm in teacup in their articles because of lack of any interesting data to differentiate the productsQuote:

Yeah, I have yet to go this far either (as to implementing these tweaks), also using Win 7 Home Premium 64. Right now I'm just trying to beat my own times as I don't have a chance beating you more seasoned guys, especially with a lower-end CPU and crappy RAM.Quote:

mine has my 650 linx stable at 4.8 on air, all while still using the IGP with no problems, on water I think I will be able to get a 5.3-5.4 32m run and I am building my nlited xp as we speak:up:Quote:

such a tiny board but effortless OC'ing!! stable @ 4.8 on air with 655K - great and only about 70c!! this is where the 32nm comes in with lower voltages for higher OC's with less temps.
keep my eye on these chips for possible upgrade
Nice one, 4.8 linx stable on air is very impressive.Quote:

Kinda stuck on ram heatsink and gpu for the build.
Anyone have pictures of the lian li case?
even better!!! these 32nm's look good - and did you say if it still lets you use the intergrated gpu?Quote:

wait until my f1 ee comes in I will have some awesome pics.
I am going to pick up an 875k from the Santa Clara Microcenter so I actually have a chance in the first stage.
