Yeah finally! I'll put the 6800 in tonight maybe. Man I did a burnin last night and it seemed to make a pretty big dif cuz I am now priming at 2.64ghz at 1.38v. Yesterday I had to have over 1.4v to get stable at 2.60ghz. HmmmQuote:

Thanks for the postings about the progress NJ, it's surely appreciated.
I was just hoping these could hit 2.7 on high-end air or water avg, or at least 3.0ghz or so on phase, and they seem like they will do that. Anyone with these chips posting their progress is surely appreciated, but thanks again NJ for manning the front line. :D
Now I know i'm grabbing one of these fo sho' as soon as I save my pennies. ;)
Well I think I will hit the 2.8-2.9 mark no prob I was there last nigh before any type of burn-in. Right now I am at 2.65 at 1.38v so its getting better!Quote:

In all my excitement, I forgot 2 things though:
1.) WinXP Home Edition DOES take advantage and recognize the dual-core, right?
2.) one of my frickin' VX sticks is FUBAR'ed, so I'm limping around right now with a single stick in. I should still be able to O/C the heck out of the CPU though (just keep the single stick divided to stay around 200MHz). What's the deal with OCZ anyways, I've been waiting like 4 days to get a f'ing RMA number. They've had all my info and i filled out their form several days ago.
Anyhow, I digress...

Ok here is a quick Super Pi 32m test. Its doesnt seem to be to bad at this point!
With more to come. until next one:)
So - come on... dual SuperPI/mod1.4 score please! :D
1.YesQuote:

I was @ Local Computer store today: Anitec and they had X2 3800+ in stock for $469 CAD + tax.. here is the stepping CDBHE 0527TPBW.
Get it in and see what it'll do. Robert over at ocforums got CDBHE 0527TPAW pretty close just the A & B but the only way to tell how it does is run it:) Good Luck. Please post your results so we can all compare.Quote:

njkid32 common get some water...it's dirt cheap dude and you'll be at 3GHz stable from what i've seen so far
Water, thats what i told him, and i linked him up with some parts. It's only a matter of time before he gets water, or chilled water, of vapo, who knows, that guy is driven ;)Quote:

But hey, water and phase (prommie's and vapo's) ain't bad either, and that chip will probably do spectacular on any of them. :D
Keep rocking NJ. Awesome results, and thanks one more time for sharing. I hope you can get some sleep soon, although if you're xtreme like you seem to be ("1 more fsb, 10 more mhz...then i'll go to bed"), you prolly won't. But best of luck anyway ;)
yeah your right I am still awake I am going to take the day off tomorrow and mess with this some more. I am now at 2.8 1.48v priming for 7hrs. I forgot that I raised the HTT to 280. I thought I was still at 2.75 LOLQuote:

no praw. Obviously a phase unit or water-cooling is more feasible for everyday usage, but if you want to see the limits of how far the chip will go and are willing to run your stuff out of a case it might be a good option. Assuming you could find the limit before the "way too cold" bug acts up (I think approx -60c on venny/sandy/manny/toley cores iirc?) with the right mix of acetone of course. ;)
I just don't know how much more you could get out of that chip on water, as it looks to be doing damn good on air, and running cool at that. Water is a nice long-term solution though because it's quiet (if you don't by [a] 200cfm fan[s]...) and would last you for many more systems to come, but arn't that much more efficient (less than 10c) than high-end air (chilled water is an ecception of course) and i've found through myself and other peeps it doesn't help ocs that much. No more buying hsf's though, only blocks if need-be when changing a socket. It's also relatively cheaper than phase, and doesn't eat up as much electricity, and the blocks don't cost as much as new brackets for a phase unit (ie cheaper in long-run.) I guess it all comes down to how xtreme you are. If you want to replace your air on a budget for the longterm, or want to decorate your case with cool hoses, grab water. If you have the bucks for a phase unit, grab a prommie or vapo (or build one), and if you just want to bench it, try one of chilly's crazy contraptions.
I'm sure whatever you do you'll get your 3ghz, which is awesome. Good luck bro. Keep us updated. :)
I was looking at getting a machII setup not to long ago but wasnt sure I wanted to spend 900.00. Now I am thinking that I may just do that. Not to sound conserv but I would like to keep it in a case. I could care less about the pretty colors or a great lookin case. I mean it couldnt hurt but is not my first choice! I would rather have it all dangling off my desk and run 3.2 or something than have it in my case running 2.9 lookin all pretty. LOL

The BH-5 is amazing :D
Going for DDR580 with it tonight
Having trouble stablizing anything over 3gig
Me thinks I'm hovering around cold bugs which is bugging me
edit... this is with dry ice bios says -47
Oh yeah... random lockups while loading windows at 3ghz where it's definetly stable sometimes, but locks up so fast at others, is definetly a cold bug eh?
Edit oh yeah... Does 32MB stable at 2.8 at 1.5v though(on air) :P
Depending on your location, you should consider getting your phase change unit from Chilly1 or PCice, the value for the money should be better and the servive too. You could also build it yourself, you will learn things and have fun in the process, plus you will save $$.Quote:

You have a really nice oc justwOo just get it stable! Dry Ice ya said thats crazy cooling.
Yeah I might call it a night, and then try to re-do my dry ice with less cold temps tommorow :P
lol
Initial progress:
I did dual Prime95's on my week-27 AW chip @ 2.4GHz/1.4v for 6 hours last night while I slept. I just picked 2.4 out of the blue as a mediocre O/C. When I get home tonight, what should my second burn-in test be? 2.4 again but try with a lower voltage? Or try going up to 2.5 with the voltage as-is and see if it'll remain stable?
Thanks,
Brian
Just max it OUT
yeah max it out, and nice x2 3800 you got there njkid32, I might consider one to use as an rendering farm, your results make me wanna get one now hehe ;)
I've also noticed something about my x2 4400+, I can use lower vcore by using lower multi for some weird reason. For example, I can run stable at 10x285 and 1.50v, but when I use the 11x259 it wants more...hm..weird, but it's better to run higer mem/htt speed anyway so ;)
Thanx lv_88, right now I am just maxing out my cpu and then I will mess with the ram and multi's ect. I just want at least 3ghz stable with low voltage. Well thats what everyone wants lol. But I am just slowly working my way up.Quote:

After more playing and trying to get around the cold bug I've gotten some nicer results, I think theres still more in her though :)

On the prime, it would've kept running, but I nodded off and the temps got too high! lol
Ok this where I am at now-- I am at 2.9ghz at 1.65v (is this to high?) for some reason I had to go from mid 5's to 1.65v to get from 2.85 to 2.9ghz. HMM dont know have I reached its max... Or maybe just a ram setting I noticed on my venince and sd they needed a little ram tweaking to get stable and up untill this point I haven touched the ram. My temps are still good at 44c.
50mhz at cost of .1v on v-core sounds like you did hit limit basically. I concur that 1.6-1.65v is the last step you should take on these X2s for maximum overclocking on most H2O and good air cooling if your temp is good. Only thing left for you now to get that instant 200-400mhz boost left now is in cooling :) (Thats how much jump I made about 300-350mhz with single phase system... trying to get the little extra by swapping my system with even bigger compressor now :P Your result do look exceptionally good though :) Kudos for awesome chip.Quote:

I am about to run down the street and buy a new mobo. Does anyone know how to fix this or at least help me flash to a different bios... I did the flash off of pershoot's bootable cdrom. I am such an IDIOT!
EDIT: Ok I fixed it! I just needed to give the bios a longer clear. Oh thank GOD! I thought I had to spend more money again....
When I flashed to 704-X originally, I had nothing but a blinking HDU light. I thought :cussing: then :wth: then :doh: but I CMOS cleared and thankfully it posted. I really thought I'd killed my board with a beta BIOS and had just wasted £100. Phew....Quote:

I had to change my boxers a few times during that period.Quote:

The dry ice alone doesn't really cool the tube much, the aceton breaks it down, and being as its a liquid, it completely covers the boottom of the container, so it makes it cold and covers the bottomQuote:

hm...2.9 and 1.65v, that's high, don't the temps get high on fulload?Quote:

NJ, in all your screenshots, what utility is that white table with all your monitor parameters? I currently have Hmonitor, but I like the simple yet effective table that you display each time.
Thanks,

NjKid32 what did you end up with for a stable OC ?
I just ordered an X2 3800+ from Mwave, its going in my work rig and the X2 4400+ is going to replace the 3700+ San Diego in my game rig.
I'm super impressed with the X2, everything is so smooth and quick even the OS is much faster.
Yeah I hear ya Windows loves the X2 my system runs soo good. Last night I was encoding some video and running other stuff at the same time and it ran perfect. Right now I am burning-in at 2.9 1.55v it was super pi 32m stable but failed after 10hrs of prime95. So I want to run a burn-in and see if I can get it to run prime a little longer.Quote:

Maybe someone could take a look at my settings here and let me know what you think. Maybe I need someone else to look instead of me. I have tested sooo much that I am crosseye! Oh and I have changed my rams volts back to 3.5v where it used to be...
..seems fine to me
But I cant get it stable at 2.9ghz again. I was stable for like 10hrs the other day and now I cant get it stable for 5min. Hmmm I have no idea what is different. At this point I cant remember what it was stable at anymore. I think I will run primes again tonight at these settings just to make sure its stable here again. I actually had my voltage at like 1.56 or something last time I was at 2.85ghz. But you dont have any suggestions on some timings. I also noticed that my bandwidth went down in sandra. With the redlines and my sandy there were giving me a score of 7200 and now they are at like 6500. Hmm dont know...Quote:

Third when I was messin with the ram I realized that the HS was a little loose (AS5 must have settled or something) so I tightened it down and temps are good again. Now I am at 2.9ghz at 1.58v! Without any ram tweaking everything is still on auto except for 2-2-2-5. So now the next step is 2.95ghz with same volts and we will see what its made of. I am also going to order a pretty nice water setup that Absolute_0 put together for me..

Sounds like my Venice. It is far more often that i get a reboot or a lockup than to have a program get an error.Quote:

Njkid, thanks very much for these tests of yours. Therefore this is the chip!
I am getting mine tomorrow from Monarch, I hope it is this good. Finally AMD released something for overclockers rather than these $600+ stuff.
No problem! Things are going well again I ran prime at 2.9ghz at 1.6v for like 7hrs. I am now running it at 2.95ghz at 1.6v for an hour. So it looks like I broke the wall I hit.Quote:

I thought with the 2 120's the 3 80's and the Big Typhoon I has pleanty of airflow. But I guess I was wrong.
Hey Joe2004 when you get your chip post some results over here so we can compare..

It looks like the Mushkin died! I then put my OCZ back in and my system is running prime again at 2.95ghz 1.60v just to make sure. I will put it to 3ghz tonight to see if it would be stable. I called in an RMA to newegg for the Redlines and ordered some G.skill LE's. When I get home I will post a SS of 2.95ghz prime stable at 1.60v.
Edit: G.skill LE 4400's will be here on wed. 256.00 at newegg.
OCZ.... TCCD I hope. You might want to think about getting a new board. Your problem starting to sounds like what I had to go through.Quote:

Anybody know where to get these for a good price? Preferably OEM as i don't need the heatsinks and warranty will get nullified a little while after i tested them ;) .
Yes, a good price would be nice. I'm itching to test an X2 (so many people say that windows feels much faster) however that 400$ price tag is rather dissuading.
You know what I think you should spend your money on! LOLQuote:

Hey guys, right now I am waiting on my new ram to get here to push any farther. Right now I backed down to 2.9ghz at 1.6v. If anyone wants me to run some benmarks please just let me know cuz I would like to satisfy anyone's curiosity about this chip.. So just let me know cuz I am only going to be on for a little while longer.
I got my X2 3800+ yesturday from Mwave and its only an average OCer. It does 2760 @ 1.71v dual prime stable cooled with Exos2. IMO thats 2.5-2.6ghz on good air.
I'm going to put it under the LS tomorrow and see what happens but I'm not expecting much more that 3ghz.
Yeah that sounds about right. What kind of temps are you getting? Maybe thats the problem. Its seemed like my wall was the PWMIC temps. Once I got a fan on them I was stable at 2.95ghz. I am going to put a HS on it and leave the fan that should cool it really nice. Next month I am going to build a water setup something midrange I plan on spending like $300 on so we will see what it can do..Quote:

Here is a pic of the chip, I've removed the IHS and have a fan blowing on the Mosfets so temps are not a concern.
On my 4400+ core 1 was the weak core, on this chip core 0 crapped out pretty quick compared to the core 1.
Like I said, it's probably an average OCer for a 3800+

Ok well I think I know how my Redlines died my bios is all messed up. I got my G.skill's today and I put them in and as always did a bios clear. After that I couldnt boot with 2 sticks in. So I took one of them out and got into the bios and booted at stock settings. Once in windows I started to open cpu-z and A64 Tweaker and then BSOD. I was like WTF! So I was thinking that it had something to do with the TCCD and the 510-2fixed bios. So I then booted to the bootable cdrom to flash to a different bios. All started to look good until it froze half way through the flash. It got to like the 2nd block and just froze there. So stupid me (knowing it was shot at this point) reset the system. I can get into the bios but I cant read a thing its all jumbled up. So right now I am on my way to Fry's to pickup a new DFI mobo. OH WELL!
Told you that your board is suspect... oh well... Good luck.Quote:

anyone had any similar problems before they took of the IHS?
Sounds totally like a heat problem..get the IHS off and it should clock mugh higher
I am very reluctant to take the IHS off at this point. Even if i get stuck at 2.5ghz, according to the benches i ran, the x2 3800 beats the crap out of my 4000 san diego running at 2.6ghz - the 3800 scores almost twice the score of my 4000 in multimedia and arithmetic benchmarks.Quote:

Hey vapourise, If you are worried about killing your chip or messin something up I wouldnt do it. I wouldnt know about stock cooling I went right into taking the IHS off and putting my Big Typhoon on. But before I took the IHS off I was just using the BT and was getting 2.5ghz with like 1.4v but my temps were really high at over 60c. I found that these chips run really hot and that the PWMIC area gets really hot as well. Once I got a fan over the PWMIC area I was able to go a little farther.Quote:

But I will be under phase really soon :D So anyway I am running prime right now with these settings so I will post as soon as I stop it. Funny I ran prime for 26hrs the other day and clicked on exit instead of stop so I didnt get a SS of it. But I will run it again to show that it will do it. My 3DMark03 score went up to 9800 with my new ram (I think thats what caused it) thats good cuz it ran at 9530 before with my Redlines.
Edit: I had to redo the SS cuz mbm was reporting wrong. It does that from time to time. Thats why I dont trust it!
hey njkid32 - are you still using the 623-1 bios? also pm'd you over on ocforums ;)
Yes I am still using the 623-1 it seems to work the best so far! At least with my G.skills. Now when I was using my OCZ's I used the 510-2fix with hellfires 3.16 rom and that worked great!Quote:
