Are you using an EVGA card?

I have a BFG and Jody mentioned that I need to flash it to the EVGA BIOS as that might help with some of the issues I have been having under cold......

MSI GTX295, haven't had any issues yet. I'm not pushing hard clocks either though, I'm afraid of blowing up this board also :D

hahaha.......my board is somehow still kicking with all the times it's condensed. Even has a nice bulge coming from the underside of the board that is growing like a pimple.

well it was a frustrating weekend.

This is about all i got done:

It's an accomplishment, but not quite the caliber i was hoping.
Results soon. I'll drain this tank yet...

@Brian
I see that a lot in boards where hot air reworking has been done improperly resulting in uneven heating. Also iirc that is right below the dimm's buck inductors, so i guess they might be just inordinately heating up, though I couldn't imagine that's the case.
It's certainly not a good thing.

Happy birthday Gautam! I'll splash some LN 'for the homies'.

Starting LN2 runs with Xeon 3540 so far I've had it up to 5.5GHz while just seeing where the BCLK crashes. Odd thing is the system restarts now after I get past -88'C so I'm guessing I need more volt on vtt or something. What voltages do you guys typically have set for vcore & vtt for say a 5.2GHz run?
08-03-2009, 04:21 PM
Gautam

Try 1.55v to start and go easy on vtt (like +200) until you actually need it, and then inch it up slowly. Seems like most d0's run into issues past 1.5-1.55, so if you're beyond that, you might be overdoing it.

Team is currently locked at 24 members and I am not sure we are going to take on much more. Maybe if guys leave they can be replaced with new members. I really like our group and from an overclocking perspectivem, our team is deadly efficient from an overclocker/team total point ratio. Thats cool :)

I have a couple days of vacation and decided to help PURE team with PURE HW points :D Hope 75 litters of LN will help me gather 200+ hw points with all of "old" GPU's I have. This is a small part of hardware I have :D

Good luck brother! Looks like you've got some great stuff brewing.:up:

Today it just occured to me that with the random EEPROM and random POST looping from 69/C1 my problem may have been a case of dead/dying/error-ing hypers.

IT WAS *SMACK*. Popped in my kit of DJ-E and i was able to bench 05 fine at 4.8, 1.4v. ONCE. Then I tuned 295 to my 1.24v sweet spot got ready to find some serious gpu clocks, went to refill my thermoses and find
I'm out of LN2. Drained 230L to find out that my hypers are dead. :clap:

Go Nazar go bro go :D , Good Luck.

@ Julian , and i thought me and Jamie were official hardware killers lol , i imagine you running 1.85v on those elpidas ? or more ? :shakes:
Hopefully by this weekend i will have some free time , a full LN2 Dewar and i will engage PCMar05 with my Acards and SSDs for some hwbot damage + 3Ds
benchies , knock on wood that everything hopefully will survive this time :rofl: , i have been killing hardware on my last LN2 benching :shakes:. I just got finish talking to Jamie on the Phone and he really have killed lots of hardware lately :shrug: , bad luck with his Elpidas Hypers too. Lets pray to the overclocking Gods for mercy and let live our hardware longer :ROTF:.

Nazzar ask Jody how to fix it , i watch him fixed his classified after he had dropped the cpu into his socket, he then got some very small tweezers and got all the pins straighten up :up: very good fixing mobos Jody :yepp:.
Good Luck bro.

A magnifying glass and tweezers will fix that thing, I've done the same as you.

There is no problem with magnifying glass and tweezers, blade, needle etc. :)
The problems is with shaking fingers and weak sight :D
Anyway I have already asked my friends to fix it :)

How can you drop a CPU onto the socket? O_o
08-05-2009, 05:57 PM

Here is my trick. Get a mechanical pencil (the kind with refillable lead) and empty the lead from the tip. The tip is the perfect size to fit onto a socket pin and straighten it. Ive had success at least
08-05-2009, 06:15 PM

ahh ... Intel LGA pins ... are sensitive. I rather call'em springs.
Anyway, I did a couple of surgeries and -
- a magnifying glass (a nice clear one) - it's handy, I used it to check on the results in detail although I was able to work on the pins without it
- the magic tools in my case were two needles with one having a bent (twisted, curved ... ) tip - IMO better and with steady fingers more precise than the pencil method

// can I post here although I ain't a ''pirate''??

Just got a sweet deal on New Fluke 52-II. Deal was even better if I bought two. I don't need two so if anyone on the team needs one I will sell it for $175 shipped US. International members will need to cover the extra cost of shipping please. My Xeon W3540 doesn't seem to like me so I will try to throw up some numbers with an i7 950.

Best things for fixing LGA sockets are Push Pins, Razor Blades and Exacto Knives. I fix probably 4-6 sockets a day with them. Dont even need a magnifying glass anymore.

Thanks guys! My secret weapon is to bring the mobo to professionals :D Now it works fine.
BTW pushed today 4x4870 and took all the golden cups for 03-05-06-vantage. Something wrong with ORB, cant submit 03 and 06 :(
3x8800 ultras and 2x9600gt tommorow :D

Mine Classified died last week, wish it was just a bent pin. Won't respond to pwr/rst/clrcmos buttons :(

triple 8800Ultra would be a lot of fun, good luck!

Cooler Master is preparing yet another variation of the Cosmos full-ATX chassis, the CM Cosmos Pure. This design develops further on the aesthetics of the CM Cosmos Black Label limited edition, and makes use of matte black metal surfaces. The panels and front-door are made of slate/carbon-black coloured brushed metal, and a similar scheme continues inside. Regions of the case are located right where you'd expect them to be.

Measuring 266 x 598 x 628 mm, and weighing 16.9 kg, the CM Cosmos Pure packs enough room for E-ATX motherboards (and every ATX form-factor smaller than that), enough room is provided for even the longest of the graphics cards. Air-flow in the expansion card area is directed by a wind-flow tunnel. Fan provisions include a bottom 120 mm intake (instead of a front-intake), two 120 mm top exhausts, one rear 120 mm exhaust, and provision for an optional 120 mm fan to the HDD cage. Speaking of which, the 3.5" HDD cage can hold six drives. There are five exposed 5.25" bays, including a 3.5" to 5.25" converter bezel. Located on the top, the utility panel provides four USB ports, and one each of FireWire, eSATA, and audio I/O. Tentatively priced at 249 Euro, the CM Cosmos Pure is almost your Cosmos Black Label "unlimited edition".

Do you guys travel around the country benching? It seems like the hub for public benching is Las Vegas. The only major city I'm near is Chicago, and I haven't heard of any benching activity coming from there. If you guys do travel near Wisconsin, I'd love to see you guys... maybe pick up a few tips and help with some monkey-work.
