Wow, thats the most hardcore modding I ever seen!
Love the dumbell weight used to hold the heatsink in place while the epoxy sets!! :p:
I take it this rig isn't for a front room DVB/Games system then! ;)

nice post, xtreme setup :)
dont do it at home
Good to see you back in action revv :D Nice modding. Fan on the typhoon should be sucking through though. Better temps that way.
Way to save the "Blue" Revv, wouldn't want to waste any.Quote:

anyways, should be ready for benching tommorow, im still not back at home, at 3.5v my corsair (think its ch-5) 512mb stick was running at 260 2-2-2-5 5mal-6RP
im not sure what the problem is as i didnt have enough time to play with timings but anything higher wasnt stable regardless of voltage, thousands of errors even at 263....i think its heat related, as the 1st 3 passes are error free but after that you get more and more each pass. but you cant get the spreaders off of this corsair, so maybe ill just move on to my 2x512mb kingston BH-5 :D
Hmm with 2 different fans I got better temps sucking...
BT fan set to suck doesn't make any sense to me.
depends on how your exhaust setup is and where your CPU is placed in your case. my xp-90 is sucking air directly into a 120mm exhaust and my 140mm psu fans. if i have it blow down all it does is recirculate half of it.
ownage, XS for sure..
Post some results of it up and running
wow, i newever knew bout the hair dryer trick
Great read man, I love it. :) . Keep up the good work
Pretty soon we will convert all ya Americans to the dark side. :toast:Quote:

hmm ill try the fan both ways tonight and let you know
This thread ftw, properly cracked me up, impatience ++ :D
Good luck with the benchies.

ok got the CH-5 running 265, needed more volts on the northbridge (1.4 instead of 1.22)
ive almost got 270 stable, for anyone interested, with the stock chipset cooler, with a fan blowing on it at stock volts it sometimes climbed over 40c, with my thermalright cooler it never climbs over 22c on stock volts, and never over 27 with 1.4. very successful... i should see what i can get the HTT too now, before the mod i got 346, i have a feeling i could shatter that pretty easily now.
well crap, had a shot at 265x10 1m superpi 32seconds in single channel.
setting up the SS, rig just powered down, hope i didnt lose anything but this doesnt look good.
clear cmos isnt helping and changing the ram wont get it posting either... i hpe i didnt lose my cpu, i was only running 1.55 through it though, it was going at 23c idle...
3.65 on ram though... hmm got to figure this out, id hate to have to buy a new cpu right now.
oh man i hope you didnt kill this project, this is a fun read lol

hmmm ive inspected everything i cant find any burns or anything, ive reseated and tried with multiple different ram modules, pulled off my big tonado and the cpu looks fine phisically...
i wish i had my old mobo here to test with, but stupid me left in in the dorms!!! :(
i even pulled the mosfet cooler... damnit... i wish i had a clue where to start... i guess ill just reseat everything and cross my fingers...
ok well reseated everything and the vid leds are all lit up, this means vid off which means dead CPU
sucks this 3800+ was a great clocker... did 2750 easy with 1.55...
It's odd i had 1.55 running through it and i was told that that should be enough volts to fight off high vdimm... i was only running 3.65 vdimm (only lol) when it shut down, so it wasn't something all that uncommon... i havent heard of this happening since the shuttle days... oh well of coure it happens to me. I am wondering if the motherboard had something to do with it.
Anyways, which CPU do i replace it with??? Dual core is great and all but i think single core is more my style right now. especially with my lower budget.
anyone recommend a chip for me at $200-$250?
The opty 146's are doing well, but honestly, look in the FS thread and you will pick up some AWESOME chips if you want long enough. AFI, for example, just sold a CABNE 146 0530 for 150 or something like that lol.
Awesome looking setup d00d , pity about the CPU dieng :(
love your choice of beer - made right here in my home town ;)
