I used a glue gun and attached a 60mm fan over the PWMIC Area. Mine use to get in the 60's since I game and run SLI.Quote:

haha, obviously. i rebooted and it went back to the normal 9x multi. well, i should say it went back to "displaying" the correct 9x multi.Quote:

and yea i agree, the msi software does have serious issues, makes for a sweet screen shot though :p:
I always run prime for a full hour before i declares stable, but I also disagree with needing 8 hours+
i usually don't make it to an hour anyway
Additional Comment:
@CompGeek did you get a new mobo yet?
Dont mind at all...Quote:

Some people just don't think something is stable unless it has primed for over 8 hours, and as i said, i'm running a speed that fails prime in 5 minutes flat and it's been stable here for the last 14 hours, 100% Rosetta load too gettin nearly as hot as prime...
So basically it boils down to me disagreeing with the people who call screenshots worthless unless they've got X hours of prime. This is about overclocking, not priming. I am just tired of seeing useless one-line posts that read something like "45 minutes, that's not stable, try running longer :stick:" Posts like that don't contribute.
Just some random OT thoughts.
Have I mentioned I F’n love this system? If I haven’t I just wanted to say, “I F’n love this system!” Runs the :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana: out of CS|S, BF2, Photoshop.
The MB is still a little wacky, tells me I installed a new CPU everytime a change a setting in the bios. I have to turn the PS on and off to reboot, so I never reboot unless I am changing something in the bios.

eVGA shipped me another 7900GTX though the step up program they offer. It cost me $169 plus the trade in of a 7800GS (agp card) I bought in January for my XP2500 barton system. The XP2500 system is going to replace my PII based linux file/web server. The onboard SATA raid will be a nice upgrade.
I bought a Li-lan 7077 case two weeks ago, but still haven't put the system in it. I kind of like it sitting on the desk top. It's quit, cool (as in temp), and nice to look at. The girly friend keeps ask'en, "when are you gona put it in the case?" I figure I'll get to it in the next week or two. Definitly before setting up water cooling.

Anyway, thanks for your time. :2cents:

Im having the same problems with my CCBWE at 2.7 itll fail after 5 mins on core 1.
I do agree fully with that .
If the system is stable for games, stressful applications, it s OK *
:)
good point, maybe i'll stop wasting time priming for so long. i just do it for so long because i get frustrated when i OC and then find what i think is a stable setup, and then two weeks later it freezes, or shuts off, but i guess, thats all part of the game, if it really bothered me i would just buy a faster cpu :)
Another good point -Oc should be fun and not a stressful match
watched by self appointed jurors ...:D

Check some of my previous posts, ATM i am running a 165 @ 3 Ghz with 1.45v when it takes 1.48v to prime here. So this isn't prime stable, but it's everthing else stable.
I seeQuote:

Thx for your answer. Yes i have them blowing inside but i always have the side open. And also this situation stands for the 146 also. But the PWMIC temp is not exceeding 50 C.Quote:

You certainly wouldn't want to be running any important scientific applications on a system like that or anything like Folding@Home cause likely you'd just be doing more harm then good with outputting incorrect data. People seem to think a CPU is stable as long as it doesn't freeze or reboot. That sure doesn't mean its not spitting out 2's instead of 5's lol.Quote:

An overclock that isn't rock stable is a farely worthless overclock IMO. But of course thats just my opinion :D.
lol nice 16 multi on a 165 :rolleyes:Quote:

All programs use the CPU differently, and 1 hr is a joke. Just because today you can live doesn't mean it's a good system. We are basically clueless about the status of the CPU without a prime test. It's like you built a house of cards and you magically put a piece of candy somewhere in there. Would you declare that house of cards safe to put something heavier in there? Hell no, it's a house of cards and it will fall any moment because it is so weak. Well so is your 3 GHz on 1.45 volts that primes for 1 hr only. It's a worthless achievement if it can crash any second.
Stable in terms of physics and engineering means the potential energy well. If you push the object left and right it wil fall back to its original state. If you prime test a 3 ghz it should heat up but in the end it will be back to its original state. that is stable. Unstable is when you push it and all hell breaks loose (i.e. Prime 95 crashes).
you sound like my neighbors....LOLQuote:

what a life! i couldn't stand it! in the summer i get $300 monthly electric bills, but it's worth every penny, i simply refuse to be uncomfortable in my own house, let alone let my expensive PC meltdown :nono:
ok ok, i went off topic, my bad, but staying cool is one of my "pet peeves"
Finally got a chance to do some work on my 0610DPMW. This is with a crappy HSF as the water cooling isn't installed yet, but it shows some promise. Been running R@H for hours on this too.
2727 @ 1.4v

Hopefully i'll get my overclocking results soon with my opty 165 CCB1E 0608MPMW after i remove the ihs and get my watercooling going as well. I had one of those 0607's and yes they are horrible. I was getting all excited when it was doing 2.4ghz stock volts, but anything slightly past that and it all goes downhill. If you get a 0607 sell it if you plan on getting past 2.6ghz. I personally like to keep my volts within the 10% overvolt range.
0.2v is my range for the athlon 64s, same situation with you as me bigkr
I got an 0607 from monarch, sold it and have my 0608, now im just waiting for my DFI.
