[Most] UTT Sux :p: Old school BH5 rocks.....if you're lookin for a pair of 512mb sticks, I may have a set of Mushkin pc3500 lvl2 blacks f/s soon (wanna finish some testing first).....drop me a pm ;)Quote:

Mem controller is affected negatively, memory sticks are affected positively (although not a huge amount, maybe 1-2MHz, with a SS).
Nice Kyle! Make 2 pi mod folders and run two instances to load both cores though, a lot harder to run ;)
@afireinside: umm, issn't it a known fact that high volts kill cpu's? didn't pre-mature bios's for either the dfi expert or some other mobo kill cpu's because of wrong vcore values. also the ram jumpers in the early days of the ultra-d killed ram :slap:
just because at 1.65v doesn't instantly die, doesn't mean its not deteriorating.
@afi: So that's how you run two pi's, I know about setting the affinity w/ task manager, but not needing two separate folders. It makes perfect sense thinking about how pi generates files. Thanks
Very Nice Kyle. I assume that this is running on the Expert with 12-07 BIOS?
What does the LS report for Evap temps under load?
Without wishing to h/j the thread, what paste do you guys use? I've been using AS5, but it's out of spec below -50 so I'm going to use Ceramique next time.Quote:

I'm not sure what the early ultra-D's did but the experts killed CPUs because they would spike the vcore from 1.5 or whatever you had it at all the way up to 3. That's very bad. You can kill a volt modded graphics card like that. Turn the pots to fast and the quick voltage spike kills it.Quote:

I've seen it be better or worse than AS5 by like 1C but it's safer (non conductive) and cheaper. You can get a 22g tube of ceramique for 8 dollars or something comapred to paying 6 or so for a 3.5g tube of AS5. BIG difference. AS5 is only good down to -40 or -50C while ceramique is good until around -180C I think.
Kyle> yep :) Just make folders "pi mod 1" and "pi mod 2" then extract the files. I hope to see some killer dual 32m soon :D
Wait a min it takes you 1.58V to get 3.2Ghz stable or are you doing this to get around coldbug?
Another way to get around CB like tony said is to play with the drive strength. There is a whole thread about that in the AMD section.
He does it because of cold bug or so he claims ;)
I HIGHLY doubt drive strength works. No one has been able to get it to work AFAIK and all the OCZ guys have said is theres settings and stuff under NDA which is just absurd. Overclockers used to find vmods and stuff as a team and now we have people with inside info with mods, settings, and BIOSes that they won't release.
i agree and it gets right on my titsQuote:

I agree. It is total BS with all this nda garbage and all that junk.Quote:

Only reason I use volts is to get started b/c my startup temp is -20C. I will lower that value and turn off my LS to let it warm up, lower volts and see what happens. Like I said I haven't had time to play with it too much recently, but I will get to it.
Yes, 12-07 bios.
I will try to up the voltage some, but last time I tried I don't think it liked much more than what I've given it so far. I might be able to go up to the next percentage overvolt. I'll let you know crash.
Testing 267 x 12 (appears to be stable) as stephen suggested.
The difference between stressing the one GOOD core for 26 seconds and stressing BOTH cores for 26 HOURS is quite a difference. I bet his dual 1m is much lower, both due to heat and one core not being as good.Quote:

My Venice 3500+ is frankly disappointing, my Opty 146 is almost certain to be cold-bugged.... just seems that an FX-60 might be the answer. FX-60 + Expert + Ballistix + LS. Hmmm, it's like a damn gravity well.
3.3ghz prime stable for even a few hours would be a feat with this stepping :DQuote:

You got a link for the 22g of ceramique for $8? I just paid $6 for 2.5g. Guess I really got taken to the cleaners.Quote:

Less volts and 100MHz higher dual 32M stable. :)

okay so what changes did you make, voltage looks pretty much the same. You played around with timings and drive strength or what?
Run some 3DM05 with the DC optimized drivers wanna se some 14K or more :P
iirc i paid a lil more at svc.com I know afi didn't get his there.Quote:
