The PC-DL does not like my radeon 9200 so i put in some old nvidia card and it booted!!

Kaptain - are those the 1.6LV Xeons that I sent you? You running them at 3.2Ghz yet?
Yes these are the ones you sent me and they are currently at 3.2GHz :woot:Quote:

on the vrm there are two different heights of components off of the board, the main mosfets are taller than the other componenets. if you get rid of the bubblegum stuff and use ceramique wont the smaller components not be touching the heatsink?
Yeah, I wondered about that too. On one of mine, I removed the VRM heatsink and put individual MicroCool heatsinks on the MOSFETs and such; think there was 10 or 11 of them suckers.Quote:

if its anything like an nF7, the smaller things (8-legged driver IC's) get hotter than the mosfets ;)
If you look at the following picture of "bubble gum" you will see that those smaller components don't even touch it.

I didn't worry about them because of the noticable temperature difference of the surrounding mobo. I borrowed an infrared probe from work and the entire area around this heatsink is cooler after replacing the bubble gum. :shrug:
I just threw a little extra paste on the shorter ICs. If you use ASC or another non-conductive paste, you can afford to get messy with the stuff. Seemed to work well, as I was able to run my 1.6GHz LV Xeons at 3.2GHz 1.6v (~1.64v actual under load IIRC) 4xPrime95 stable.
If you wanted to get really fancy I guess you could thermally epoxy some thin pieces of copper/aluminum onto the shorter ICs to raise them to the height of MOSFETs, then install the VRM heatsink with paste as you normally would. Doubt it'd be worth the effort, though.
EDIT: Typo, I meant 1.54v load.
These are what I used.
I just put as5 on it and put it back on,its not hot but warmer then verywarm(+-50°c i think),but am thinking to put some single heatsinks on the mosfets,like yours serlv,i think its beter cooling then that great big one.
On one 1.6ghz DX rig i am going to put wc,but that one i am gone use dayly,maybe as homesever also.
My temp now are high for me,even with the case open,with the IWT,cpu1 50°c,cpu2 52°c and case is 55°c this is @ 3.0ghz had to put it lower,normal its at 3.1ghz,but its pretty hot overhere we had days of 36° in shade,for belgium that's hot pfff.
The water in my xpm rig's reservior was at times 33°c and more,to hot,so i put some iceblocks in the res:D.
Hi everyone, ive just finished reading this thread and it got me thinking of other heat sinks to cool these beastys :D ive noticed that most peole either use the IWT or the coolermaster heat pipes but has anyone got/considered the Thermalright SI-9XV? : Here :
these LV xeons use 1.3v but from the link in the first page : Here : if you goto 'Xeon specification numbers' You can look at teh higher spec xeons i.e SL7HK it says "Core voltage (V) 1.25 - 1.4" would these not be a good Oc'n unit? or is the price juts too high?
One last question (promise :D )
Is the D1 stepping the best overclocker in the entire xeon range?
Ta :toast:
SI-9XV was released like two weeks ago. I guess we will see a review soon.Quote:

D1 and M0 are great overclockers and usually don't cost a fortune.Quote:

Can't wait to see someone's experience with them, but really, when was the last time you saw a review of one oftheir products that was less than glowing? :)

This is looking :slobber: what a cool cooler:D,and not that much money,37$ is a nice price.Quote:

I finally got my DX finished :woot: :woot:
I put it is a Lian li PC-60 case that i got of Ebay along with a OCZ Powerstream 520W PSU for only $100. I did not need the PSU but at the rate that i have been killing them i figures one extra could not hurt and the price was too good to pass up.
I had my DX running @3300 when is was on the MoBo box but when i put it in the case i has to drop it to 3270Ghz to keep it stable.
Who ever did the modifications to this case really knew what they were doing and did a great job, 3 of the sides have clear plex glass in them and there was a fan added to the top of the case as a vent. I now have a total of 13 Fans keeping this beast cool and surprising quiet when in the case.
My DX Specs;
2 x P4 1.6LV Xeon SL6XK @ 3270 (u-wire mod & lapped)
ASUS PC-DL
2 x 256mb Patriot LLK @ 204Mhz (2-3-2-5)
Sparkle 460W PSU
30Gb Hard Drive
Intel Wind Tunnell HSF (lapped)
Lian Li PC-60 (modded)

Well, I am about to buy a pair of D1s that apparently do 3.1 on IWTs and a PC-DL. I have a Fortron 530, will there be any problem with that? And would it be possible to fabricate (as opposed to buy) a hold-down for a Maze4? I have one and, if it is possible, would definately buy another one for this.
Do these have any problem with Corsair Value Select, or should they be OK? I need more RAM for this than I currently have, but even just this is stretching the budget a bit.
ohh just noticed this thread, i have two pc-dl mobo's with a pair of 2.8's and ... a pair of 1.6's. Think I will be having a good look at this :)
the guy did a nice job on that case. but it is not a Lian Li. but who cares? it is still a sweet case. they made a variety of variations of this Superflower, here's one i have the exact same case, but non-modded. it houses my 2800 mHz (+) 939 Clawhammer.Quote:

that case and a 520W Powerstream? damn! you oughtta be arrested for robbery! :)
i be jealous!
I use a Sparkle 550 ( FSP550-60PLG-B ) with mine, it has 36A on the 12V rail. A very stout unit! I'm using it with 1.6 LV D1's and IWT's, running at 3.16 ( need fannage over the motherboard for better ).Quote:

I believe Jeff said that at one point he was powering a DX rig, for a bit, with a lesser FSP PSU and had no problems while doing so.
******************************************
Ahhh, here's a quote from Jeff, in the first post of this long thread we're in...
"Dual Xeon systems need a great deal of +12v current when overclocked so make sure your power supply has at least 20A on this rail... preferably you should get one that is capable of 25A to 30A or more if you are going to be overclocking in the 3.0GHz or higher range."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If needed, here is the link to eWiz's 550 Sparkle at $85.49 ( not including shipping ( about $10 via UPS Ground ) )
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm using a TAGAN 480W on two other DX rigs, it has 28 solid W on the 12V rail, it goes for around $75.

It is real important to have enough amps on the 12V rail...
Hope that helps.

Ok so I got this problem.I got a pair of 1.6 lv's from ddtung.They will not work together.I have tried 2 different boards.They will work seperatly but not as a dually.Somehow ddtung must of had them working together.
So I need suggestions of things to try tonight when I get home.
I was looking around and I can get an NCCH-DL for not much more than a PC-DL. Is there any reason not to if I'm fine with spending the extra money?
Avoid buying the ncch-dl.. you'll spend less money.. :rofl:
I know its more than the PC-DL, but I think the PCI-X may come in handy for me. Are there any disadvantages other than the price? It appears the power regulation circuitry is improved a bit, so it may let the CPUs OC better.Quote:
