kagula323,hope we like it?hope we like it?
i love it.man you are getting some sick OC's lately
its amazing how far you have come in such a short time:up:
you definitely have some mad skills,keep on pushing it.
cant wait to see what you post next:D

Wow, had a bit of a big scare and honestly thought I would have to ship the board back across the ocean as it wouldn't switch on after mounting the board in my case. I was actually suspecting PSU for a while until I tried another board and it worked. Luckily after mounting it all back in it started up and upon further thoughts, I think I had the power & reset switces the wrong way around - DOH! Anyway, currently testing the board and all seems to be great except my CPU temps - the lapping may not have benefitted me as much as I thought, and that damned 1st core is soaring even at 1.35v :(.
Managed to get close to DDR2000 stable with the G.Skill Ecos though, but they ran very hot above 1.58v so I've backed down to 1600 7-7-7-19 which still gives nice bandwidth at just 1.45v. I've gotta check my loop and the evenness of the CPU (which I'm certain is flat because it was virtually picking up the glass I lapped it against when trying to lift it), so my guess is a poor mount - will be back with some screens sometime soon ;)
Those extreme boards are the best for 775 duallies and they've broken a FSB record or two! Good work, very impressive FSB and clock for an E8400! Nearly 2v though - eeek!!
I-F
great work mate :up:Quote:

In-Fluence ... I'm glad your mobo is ok ... they are damn fine boards these EP45-Extreme's. FSB records were brocken with EP45T-Extreme boards ... the ddr3 ones, not with ddr2 parts. And about voltage ... that was only 1.6V real on cpu ( the CPU I think could do it all with 1.5v :D but temp where good so I gave it just to be sure )... but after about 5 hours of torture under dice the sensors went south and started missreporting Vcore and Vdimm by about +0.3.Quote:

I'm also waitin' for the pics of your rig :up:

Not much for the moment, but this 500x8.5 was easy enough. Like I say, having real temperature problems at the moment, not sure if my loops got a bubble somewhere or if block isn't mounted right.

I found the CPU was definitely not flat during lapping as you can see from this pic mid-way through, I think partly due to a slight 'dent' caused by the smaller contact area of the XSPC Delta V3 block (you can just make out the square). The apogee XT has a big, flat surface which I hoped would make the difference, but as you can see above, something isn't quite right

But the finished result loos ok to me:

I'll be getting my rig out shortly, so I'll get some snaps of it with this board in there, and hopefully resolve this temp issue. My ambient temp is currently a scorching 31°C in my loft flat at the moment but temps should definitely be a few °C better than this.
Might just be a bad sensor, I think almost all quads do the same thing. Mine read just like yours In-Flu.
The board's sensor seems to be matching up to the internal 4 core temps pretty well (a lot better than the extreme and ud3p anyway). Would the board read the CPU's internal sensors incorrectly?
Anyway left it idling for a few hours whilst ambient's cooled, but still at 42,38,42,42°C and prime instantly goes into 60's / 70's. Starting to wonder if lapping really did me any favours - maybe the block has kind of 'moulded' around the CPU and isn't matching up the the CPU surface any more?!
never got more than 1C of lapping a CPU mate...i stopped doing it, lapping should be done when CPU surface is irregular or block...but if both are acceptable dont worth it...Quote:

Might work good for a dual core cause the core is in the center but on a quad there are 2 cores and they are spaced apart and closer to the sides. Should I lap the block maybe?
Anyone know where to buy a Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P now? It seems like a sweet board for my Q9650, maybe the best s775 intel board, but I can't find any....
Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)
Temps seem to have gone down enough, and I think it was just the ridiculous ambeint temps I was suffering the other day. Now back to 36,35,36,36 idle now, and even tackling 500x9 again at long last. Mosfets are getting mighty hot though.
Just got to check Ebay and for sale sections.Quote:

i just got one:up:
This is the only place you can get one (they have two (2) left last I checked).Quote:

what cpu are u going to use with it? :D
not sure yet.i have a pentium D 530 3.0Ghz HT to use until i find
what i want to use with it.i also have a kit of cellshocks too.
Thanks guys, however all the ebay sales and websites only offer USA shipping, it seems there are none of these boards in the EU :(
I gat one if you're able to fix it :D ...I keep it in the box since I burned the mosfet on those first noob SS's sessions :(
Well I would be very happy to see that board runing again... miss you :/
Great Rob :up: nice to see ya back on 775 i'll be playing with the Stalents 2200 CL8 hypers soon :DQuote:

i tried my elpidas on the usb3p...it was a frustrating oc....but yeah i'm with you guys...i'll clock my usb3 and st's and an e8600 :D
max was 5.5ghz....mch maxV applied was 1.7v with very tight screws on the nb ..LOL

Hehe, thanks, but I would prefer one that posts, I am picky about things like that :p:Quote:
