dinos look back at my post :) i dont have problems at all :D
yeah that's because you don't have a Kentsfield running at 4Ghz on there :p:
runned a QX9650 last week and same temps and voltage's :D , thats @ 5ghz with 1.85vcore bios :p: .
still u say no fan needed or check preseur on the blok ?
interesting
maybe something went bad with his system but listen to blind as he's probably on the mark
blind you got a link for that bench
was that on the F1 EE pot :D
they are soooo nice heh
dont have links to the benches , these where some pre runs with yorksfield .Quote:

the 5ghz on the IX38 whase with cascade (same as with IP35 PRO)
got little pic for u :D

just got to love those pots , think of getting some Ln² with this E6850 .
600fsb easy with cascade LOL vid off 1.3500v , E6850 +2900xt fun ones again :p:
You just totally missed my point, maybe because you're new to this thread :)Quote:

Note that I never changed anything, neither hardware nor setting-wise.
Normally ”guru showed 94A @3,6Ghz full load which is perfectly normal for a quad at that speed.
So now there must be something very wrong indeed...
Hang on, maybe it's related to the 12B.08? I think I'm gonna go back to B06 you never know...
i say 12.B02 is beter :) , running E6850 here 1.5vcore nog 4ghz full load power phase go to 45°C and 50A :) .Quote:

Just went back to B06, still the same.
But please don't start comparing currents with your G0 dualie - I can reach 140A easily@3,2Ghz with my old B3 Xeon :D
I also can't believe it's dying that fast, but it definitely is. It all fits - the noises appearing out of thin air, the way too high current and the enormous vdroop without me changing anything - bad contact doesn't explain that, especially since my PC hasn't even been moved lately. The PWM block sits tight as ever:

Fortunately I'm a system builder so I'll get a replacement very soon.
what the thermal interface between the water block on the PWM chips and the ICS chips themselves, a thermal pad or thermal paste?
That's rough jcool, i remember you mentioning the noise at the time.Quote:

It might be woth checking the indents on your heatpipes to see if the chips are level see

luck:)
Pad of course... I don't wanna crush these chips ;)Quote:

Oh well, nothing more I can do here except wait for the replacement to come in. :(
I think it's got to be some defect either in the PWM implementation or just a problem with a few boards that didn't get past QC. I don't think it's related to the amount of Vcore you push. While I pushed mine up to almost 1.6, jcool only went to 1.4. If these PWM's are falling apart at 1.4, there's something in the design that the Abit engineers should be looking at.:shrug:
pushed 1.9 here max off the mobo NO problem :D
:shocked:Quote:

I killed off my old E6600 with 1,72V so be careful with these volts, unless you have a very good phase unit :D
Replacement for my mobo is on the way, should be 2 days max until it arrives. Hopefully this one will last that long :rolleyes:
i also have 3 graphics cards and 4 mobos hanging above my bed, first time i see someone else doing this :toast:Quote:

just one question: did yours come with those metal clips to attach a fan to the PWM sink??
otherwise i need to get some new hotglue as i ran out of it :confused:
are you saying the 1.72 killed the cpu and mobo, together?Quote:

That's one of the complaints about the stingy package, no usb bracket either.
That's not bad service. Fingers crossed it lasts:DQuote:

Naw, that was on my old AB9 QuadGT - which is still alive and kickin' by the way (due to the 1066 strap it kicks the :banana::banana::banana::banana: out of the X38 performance-wise...)Quote:

Like I said, I never fed the IX38 more than 1,4V actual Vcore.
From what i am reading here i see that compared to IP35 Pro this board needs more mch to be stable at same speeds. Is that correct? Is that a board issue or a X38 chipset issue in general?
With vcore offset in bios can someone asks 1.4V for booting and also at load/idle within windows without vcore flactuation?
Also is it possible to install a standalone pciexpress card on the 3rd pciexpress slot which is also 16x as the first without an issue (no boot,blank screen,less performance/bandwidth)?
Thx
Is there any bios supporting a E8500 Wolfdale yet?

Hey guys,
I have good news - Mr. Franke from Mips-Computer just e-mailed me some pics of the new IX38 waterblocks. He gave me permission to share them with you, so here we go - enjoy :)

http://home.arcor.de/partywg2/QuadGT/IX38_mips2.jpg
My replacement board is already here, plus Mr. Franke kindly sent the first NB block my way just minutes ago, so I'll be posting my own pics by tomorrow or Saturday.
For those who are interested in one or more waterblocks, he said he's made a small series of them by now and anyone who's interested can write him an e-mail at info@mips-computer.de (in German or English). The waterblocks are made of copper/brass and have 1/4" threads.
cheers
looks very cool!:)
