SAE - well, try the real challenge - do it w/o active cooling :lol: ...you will see, how hard this is. And what? I just did one small post :stick:

Revv23 - did you board did 225x12 1.850Vcore stock with 2x512 2-2-2-11 rams and w/o any fan? Try it. You might be amazed that you probably get crash at this settings, when you disable your fans, under a hour of priming ;) (don't be surprised get the crash sooner :lol:)
Anyway, you got a very nice pics of your mobo. Could you pls consider taking one (ok, at least 5 and pick the sharpest and most nice one :D) picture of the dimm mosfets + SB area?
Exactly this:

- but w/o the heatsinks :confused:

Could you, please? You got a very nice pictures, so... :p:

...if you even can print the grid and place it between the SB and voltage regulator - it will be purrrfect :D Just like I described there:
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ad.php?t=49650 ;)

PS. nice OC you got, man! I wish I can get close to ya :p:

Why the h3ll should I want this?! :D
It's a max performance benching and gaming rig, no silence needed, pal. It's no livingroom pc ;) Furthermore my case is open, so I need these fans to get any flow at all.

:D That's no offense, I was just a lil amused about your post length ;)

I did not say you want this - I just say that it will be challenge :D ;) Tought the best results will be probably around 2800Mhz with lot's of heatpipes to every heatsink and using the fanless cooling zalman case :lol:

You think this post is long? :rolleyes: Errr, ehm, check some other my posts. Some are 2x or even 3x longer :p: I simply have too much to say and refuse to say it shortly or something :lol:

Im weird person :stick:

...now let's move with the heatsink for the dimm + vdd + voltage regulator + SB things :devil:

ehhh i just expoxied/ taped the sinks on last night.

Sorry, this is what my board looks like ATM:

http://home.comcast.net/~revv23/Christmas_2004_013.jpg

my case is closed, its like a wind tunnel in there, but its actually not that loud with the tornado turned down.

Revv23 - damn :( ...and hey, you are HELL CRAZY heatsinker/fanner! :eek: That's insane, man! Do the extreme memory cooling actually helping something?! :eek:


BTW, todays I finally added the capacitors. Just the 3x 3.3G 25V 105C behind the CPU capacitors. We see, if it make any difference.

It took me a bit longer to finally make it, because when I did this on my Epox 8RDA+ and run it (200x12.5 1.850Vcore AXP¨-M 2500+), in 20min one (85C only rated, but on the backside I tought it should be okay?!) of them exploded and killed the mobo, so I was a little bit worried, if this can't harm my mobo :( :bang:

We see if there will be some improve on my crashing (about after 10-12h in folding + working and then fold + movie = crash) from overheating. Probably nope, but it should not at least make thing worser, can it make things worser?

BTW, who will recommend doing to OCP mod on LP B mobo, when I planing 24/7 under 100% load at 225x12 (2700Mhz) with 1.850Vcore? It is need? :confused:

Ocp allows more current to pass through mosfet area to supply cpu, can't be bad ;) It's like I said... got more stability. Way more stability. But that's me :D

thanks trodas :) like my 9800pro cooler?

the memory cooling got me 5mhz with my board at stock, and im assuming ill keep those 5 mhz and it should extend the life of my ram if running some serisous volts, but from the sounds of thing i wont ever really need over 3.5v...

im thinking about putting an 80mm fan over the cpu mosfet's as well, as the colder those mosfets are the better my OC it seems, im at the point where more CPU air cooling doesnt help nearly as much as cold ambient case temps, so im sure these mosfet sinks will give me something, maybe ill do an experiment. right now i have to fix up my rheobus, then this thing is going back into my cold room for some hot experiments :) :cheers:

so get this, i get all hooked up, 260x9 is rock stable, but my old 255x11 is no where to be seen, in fact, nothing over 250/10 is there any more, my cooling is way better, i have more volts, i didnt turn on the Vdd mod yet so that shouldnt matter, but most i can get into windows with is 260x9, memtest stable but 3dmark crashes, 255x9.5 is the same way...

i added a tornado and two 40 mm fans do you think maybe my PSU is dried up?

somehow i find that hard to belive as i just put in a brand new fortron 530w to replace the antec430 that was doing 2.8ghz with it...

but really its the only thing i can think of, but the fortron is cold to the touch, and i thought these were supossed to be PSU's that usually handle much more then rated...

hrmm maybe ill hook the antec up, i spent over an hour organizing all my wires though :(

Odd..

SAE, you using 166mhz L12 or 200mhz L12 mod? Figure i'll ask while i'm soldering on an nf7 ;)

well i felt around with DMM and the usually solid 12v rail went from 12.05 idle to 11.98 load, so as experiment i unhooked all of my fans and i only went from 12.09 to 12.05 under load but still no boot over 2.6ghz.

man :(

i really thought fortrons were supposed to be good, so im hoping its somethingelse but what else could it be? my cooling is adequate :p:, im only running .1v out of spec on Vdimm, maybe i should try shutting off the vdimm mod... hrmmm.... im also going to try a different powerbar as im in my basement on a $5 powerbar and all of my good overclocks were on a nice $30 radioshack one.

past that i got nothing...

hmmm.... maybe the big mosfet sinks are preventing good airflow to the CPU Vcore regs? Maybe ill try 2.7 @ 1.9 as that was stable IIRC

adjustable rail on most fortons....look into that. whats the amperage rating for each rail? i have all my fans on a old AT psu thats only like 150watt or something and my mobo is the only thing on the ATX...fans make the power "dirty" so its best to isolate them. thats why there are ATX 2.0 PSU's out now :)

fans have dedicated plug, distibuted through baybus, same goes for 9800. though i do have an aopen 250w sitting on my workbench may be worth a try, still, even without the fans loading up psu there isnt a boot.

18A on the 12v rated. Supposedly these are capable of running mor then 18a but im having trouble believing now... and i dont really think i need to adjust rails if im 12.05 idle 11.98 load do i?

have the p4 plug plugged in?

that thingy make any diff?

yeah.. a lot.

It's equal what mod you do on the dfi, bios defaults it to 200MHz. :)

4 pin is plugged in yes

look at this... i ran prime for 35 hours to ensure 100% stablilty at this clock and when i stopped it, look at the screen shot :slobber:

lil weird

Weird indeed! :D

Do you know you only tested cpu stability!? :stick:

For good overall stability testing chose the blend mode in prime. :)

ahh ic...well i figured out the time thing... I had updated the time after a cmos erase :lol:

anyone could cheat knowing that!

Why should a serious overclocker wanna cheat? :confused:

they wouldnt but them people wanting toaster sigs that need a certain clock and specific hours of prime probly would in a heart beat. people like you and i wouldnt do that because thats just rediculous ;)

figured out my problem, one of my sinks fell off and was shorting the board, relaly odd stuff, but im going 260x10 now like a rock, taking het up slow this time, last time my starting point was 2.8ghz and it didnt turn out nice eh?
