I thought te 623-3 was pretty vanilla and wasn't good enough for real good overclocking?Quote:

I am very sorry to hear about you owning the MSI board :eek: Although I don't have anything helpful to say here other than maybe DFI NF4 Ultra-D? it is only around $129 for it I think, maybe I am wrong but MSI I haven't read anything good about latelyQuote:

Almost every board (MS-6309 ver 1) was leaking from the top of the caps resulting in random and or frequent rebooting. After that we switched to Intel Mainboards only
Well actually this board has been awesome for me untill the X2 cpu's. Its really only the voltage options IM dissapointed with really. I had a 55 that rocked, and I know this chip has some more room. As far as the DFI, Id have to also pick up a PCIex video card and I dont see any real performance gains from this over AGP yet. Id hate to have to get rid of my X800XT PE which still rocks.Quote:

What is it that the AMD X2 CPU driver does outside of just allowing you to use CnQ? I've seen user reports that it improves X2 performance in some applications/benchmarks. Why does it do that? Do most of you install it? Yay or nay?

Got single phase in but still need more work done. @ 1.52v I can only dual prime @ 2.83ghz -_-; CPU temp is @ 3c so I think more tweaking on charge, etc is in order (I did put more volt in temporarily to see how much more room I got only to find that temp do go up bit more than I thought -> actually reducing overclock).
Once I get matters resolved (different compressor to reduce noise and live tuning it with 1.7v or so to give it good temp under high voltage) I might have 3ghz dual prime rig... One thing is for sure, frigging thing is hot (My chipset temp gets to 52c, PWM around 60c at one point... gotta figure out ways to reduce this as it might be chipset temp that is preventing further overclocking..)
Gonna try out my 4400+ this weekend ... they finally arrived in Finland too.
*Edit* Picked it up... CCBWE 2505 UPMW. No testing untill tomorrow thou.
PTK
I think with that temp the best oc you get with Vcore between 1.5-1.6VQuote:

Thanks

For me: blow air down onto the HS.Quote:

2850 MHz (11*259) was with 1.450*110% (1.552V), memory @ 259 MHz and 2.7V + 0.03V, chipset 1.6V, ht voltage at 1.2V and LDT 3x.Quote:

I'm going to try it and see if it makes any difference.Quote:

Ready with your new sys? I'm waiting for your results, I wonna know how your setup will handle the heat.
It puts an entry in boot.ini that at least ocmark 05 looks for and maybe others. Doesn't hurt anything so might as well do it. (the exe version)Quote:

I've replaced the front intake with my panaflow 104 CFM 120mm, I was so impressed with the case I ordered 1 more and am going to use it instead of my server case.
I did also mount the X2 4400+ and got some AS5 on there with the massive XP-120, had to run a full backup last night of my box was 81GB so when I get home (5 hrs or so) I will be taking my main rig in the server case apart immediately, removing my OCZ 520 Powerstream and installing it into the Tsunami. I am hoping to get 5 more 120mm fans ordered today 2 for HSF for my rig and wife's rig and then 3 more to cover our intake and exhausts, only 41.5db so not too bad at all.
Unfortunately to my anger today Western Digital did not get my 74GB raptors to me for evaluation so I'm stuck with 36GB raptor, what I will most likely do is run a XP SP2 install tonight and fool around this weekend until Monday when they get here, so expect a lot of results this weekend. I am a noob to the DFI board so I don't even know how to tweak at all, most likely this will consume a lot of my time just learning all the ram settings etc. Plus coupled with being a noob AMD owner lol
I do believe I will have excellent cooling once all the fans are installed but we'll see how it does tonight with the ones I have available.
nicholarse,
How is that chip clocking right now? You said you are using the same air right? I will be finding out how good of a chip I received tonight.

With 2xPrime running, what Vcore and what are you're temps?Quote:

Will let you know how I get on.
Hi guys Just got my X2 4400..Stepping CCBWE 0524RPMW .
It will sit in the DFI Sli DR board with a Swifty 6002, bonniville rad, and the mcp 600 pump..A 7800GTX and 74 Gig raptor with some GSkill 4400 ram..Just waitin on ram and Video card ...
So far it appears no one has the same stepping processor..Any one notice that ?
Any one notice the heat pipe heat sink weighs a fraction more then the Processor LMAO...First time I felt a chip so heavy..And a heat sink so close to it in weight...Personally I think it is a junk sink,but thats just my opinion...
Any way I will have it set up mid week provided the last bit of stuff arrives by then and will post results of speeds and benchies ect..Bye Bye Dual Xeon...Hello X2...
:woot: :woot: :woot: :woot:
X2 4400+ @ 10x270, 1.535v with a Koolance EXOS and H06 block. Each core is 12.5+ hours P95 stable.
Damn thing won't budge above 2.7 at all though, even with 1.7v :mad:
