Do you just starve the chip of voltage or something else? Kind of like the guide over at ocforums?

thanks for the info, njk. i was hoping that i can get a little higher than what i am at now without taking the IHS. I am at about 1.41 vcore now and cpu temperatures are around 32 idle and 45 under load, PWMIC is about 38 to 45.Quote:

man these little guys look tempting
i soooooooooooooo want one i can taste it thats for damm sure!!! man you guys make it hard to have a savings account thats for sure!
peace perc,
Hehe, so did you break through your wall? What did you end up with and what timings did you try?Quote:

You are correct. Manchester chips seems to be better overclockers than Toledos since the heat is lower. Nevertheless I am hitting a brick wall at 2.8 GHz and the voltage doesn't matter, I am assuming heat is the issue at this point for air cooling (XP-120 with Delta). Also one of the chips I have is better than another (standard problem it seems). Nj has particularly good chip, don't expect everyone to be this nice.
2.8GHZ on air to be honest is darned good.... Only chips I got so far on air stable with sane voltage on air (below 1.6v) with thermaltake typhoon so far has been 2.65ghz-2.7ghz. (and if you asked, this isn't bad at all considering heat dump this X2s are pulling off) (Dual prime 95 stable is what I mean when I mean stable)
That is 1 x2 4200, 2 x2 3800... Getting 4400 soon and will see how that runs.
I am now actually running it 24/7 at 2.76 GHz (276x10) since I need "only" 1.55V for that and it is nice and stable. For 2.8 I need 1.6V and after that no matter what voltage I use it is pretty much 2.81-2.82 and drops dead on SuperPi.
This chip obviously need watercooling and 3 GHz would be quite accessible. I can clearly see the temperatures taking off fast unlike my 3700 San Diego whre I can use 1.65-1.7V for every day use.
I was going crazy not being able to get on here! This is my first stop even before my email... LOL
Anyway here is my latest 2.95ghz @ 1.58v prime stable for 9hrs... I also added a HS to the PWMIC area so that helped a little. Then I added 90mm fan to the bottom of the case cuz there was a pocket of hot air and it was going right to the chipset. So overall its running alot cooler.
Look out, Phase Change here I come!

Hey buckshot what are you running your ram at cuz I cant get mine over 270 or windows crashes. Of you can could you post your settings? Memtest will run np at 320 but as soon as I boot to windows it crashes.Quote:

dual prime stable running large FFT on both cores for 9hrs+ is what i consider stable. I can run small FFT on one core/large FFT on another and vice versa for hours and as soon as i run both on large FFT my considered stable o/c becomes mush :mad:Quote:

NICE Buckshot! I just havent had much luck with these Gskill's dont know why.. So I think I am going to sell them and get something else. Thats to bad cuz they are only a week old. I have tried so many different configs whith the timings I was able to boot at 285mhz but they needed 3.2v. Which I didnt want to give to them for very long! Maybe I just got some duds.. Dont know! Anyway GREAT OC~!

ADA3800DAA5BV CDBHE 0527UPBW
thats the one I have too, how does it clock?
Im not an overclocker anymore since I've broken my old computer, it was due to high temps caps broken (bad caps at the time back then with the mobo manufacturers)
havent pushed it yet but so far 10x260 at 1.55v doesnt seem to be any problem at all. i have it under phasechange so i pray for somthing around 2800-3000mhz out of it :) from what im seeing right now i realy dont see 2800mhz being a problem....
peace perc,
Not at all Perc. 2 chips I got hit 2.95ghz fine on single phase around 1.62v. (bios 1.64v)
100% stable :P Cooler temp I bet can net above 3ghz which I am having problem keeping steady unless more voltage.
so whats my best bet on air,
with the 0527 upbw?
i havent run this on air i went straight to phasechange. the other guy jinu said he had the same stepping maybe he ran his on air and can tell you what he got out of it on air ????Quote:

I had 2 of same stepping. both did 2.65ghz 1.55-1.6v ish v-core on thermal take typhoon. Dual prime 95 stable. Was very hard to pick one chip over another as I had to return one... was toss up at end... :PQuote:

peace perc,
Yup I noticed 2.8ghz or so about perfect for any gaming you will do for now. 3ghz just makes things tad bit better but not really necessary.... YET... lets see how fear buckles whole thing again. Last time with BF2, 1600x1200, x850xt pe I had just didn't get good enough result and I was shoved to 7800gtx.... :P
Which bios is recommended for the dfi board? I get my cpu tomorrow :)
Well no 1 bios is good. You will need to find what is best for you. But if I had to say for the X2 it would be 704-2BT.Quote:

hey you guys think i could shave off some voltage at this speed (10x280 at 1.55v) these things realy do run hot when running above defualt v-core i swear my temps get pulled down from -24c to around -9c under a load! thats worse then my prescott used to be and to be honest i didnt think it was possible to get any worse then the prescott was!!

btw: guys look at this this is wierd... not sure if sandra is reading it wrong but shouldnt it be 2x280 and not 1x280 for the fsb/htt?? look at the screenie.
peace perc,
ok cool ill use that
@njkid (or anyone else)
did taking the IHS off help with your volts at all? I need more than 1.45v just to reach 2500mhz prime stable, although it's very cold (like sub 40c). So did taking the IHS off help? Or should i just perform even MORE burn in (since it used to need 1.55v to get 2500mhz stable).
cheers
don
the BT bios is modded so the dangerous options arent avail to you so there is no need to worry - the highest you can choose is 113% and the problem happened when you seleced higher than that!

so ya i would give that 623-2 bios a shot and see how it goes

This is true PoL but, the thing is you need to test a couple of different bios versions. Cuz what is good for me may not be good for you. I used to use the 510-2Fix bios and I ran BH-5 but several people with TCCD type ram used it and got great results. So this goes to show you that you never know. But rule of thumb -1=TCCD -2=BH CH-5 -3=Both. But you need to be the judge!Quote:

Installed my x2 3800+ a few minutes ago. Stepping is 0528 XPMW.
Now running std, temps are 28C / 33C / 36C for cpu / pwmic / chipset as reported by mbm.
Bios is 523-2. I'll try to adjust a few settings later and see how it fares.
Oh I havent seen this stepping lets get some ss's and see how it goes. Make sure you post the MaxCaseTemp SS on the thread.Quote:

Not really but it helped alot with temps at higher volts. If you want to lower your volts do a good burnin (using cpuburn).Quote:

Ok guys I am stepping it up now! I just got my Mach1 in the mail today. I did a test run with it and it sits at -46c. I ordered the mounting kit but it has not gotten here yet. 2nd day air is not what it used to be. LOL Thats prolly better cuz if it was here I would be up all night and not goto work tomorrow. So I am waiting till Friday to hook it all up...... I cant wait! So Friday night I will be online with some good SS's (I hope! )

OK, here is a problem I've found, let's see if you can tell me what's going on.
OK, maybe my SuperPi Mod version is too old, but if I ran it twice on my 3800+, the second one gives me an error just a few seconds after, while the first one finishes. It's not related to OC, cuz it was at default then. I thought maybe it was core1, so I ran prime on core0 and superpi 32M on core1, but finished OK. Then i ran prime on core1 and superpi 32M on core0, and finished OK. Then I ran two superpis, and the same problem again... :confused:
hav u put the two Superpis into different directories?
One for each core, as it were.
oooppppsss... :D
Ity is the same file, I open one, and then another one... :P
Should I create two different directories?
yes
exactly what you do!
lol.
also if one of the SuperPi fails you need to clear out the extra files before starting the run over.
leave the pi_rec.dat2 and pi_data.txt files delete the rest
Guys I just picked up an X23800+ at Fry's yesterday. So far It can do 2.6 SuperPi 32m/Prime stable at default voltage. 2.8Gig SuperPi32m/Prime stable with 1.4 volts at the moment. This is with my vapo. I haven't tried anything more than 2.8 so tonight I go for 3 gigs. I will post pics then. This chips are awesome!
D
I just got 280x10 1:1 stable - my tcc5 needed 2.9v to make my memory controller happy in windows
i was used to my old tccd that only needed 2.6 to do its thing - either way i am happy i am off the 9/10 divider......one step closer to my ultimate dream goal of 300x10 1:1........a guy can dream cant he?
Jooks good bro! Its funny how are ram and other things react with a new chip. I think its just TCCD though cuz my CH-5 is running the exact same with the X2. Now my TCCD's didnt like the X2 very much. Or it was just my fault a setting or something....Quote:

Hey dnavarro looks GREAT! What type of cooling do you have and your cpu stepping?
Thanks! CPU stepping is 0529XPMW. As far as cooling this is with a vapo ls. I never tried aircooling, just went straight to the big guns. I wonder how high (voltage) I can safely take one of these with my vapo and 24/7 operation. I imagine 3.1-3.3 may be doable since I am not all that high, but this is my first 90nm chip so I don't wanna burn it. I know there is more headroom, I have only had to increase the volts a couple times :)
D
ok now im seeing you guys running these 3800 x2's at thier defualt v-core or dammed close to it anyways and getting 2.8gigs!! sooooooo im back at defualt v-core seeing just how high mine will clock before i have to raise my v-core. so far im at 240x10 2400mhz 1:1 stable. im going to try for 250htt then 260 ect ect till she forces me to raise the v-core.
@dnvarro
damm nice chip man hope mine runs somewhat close to that bad boy!!! whats the temps of your vapo at the evap and temps at core? i run a mach1 and my evap temps are -44c/-47c idle and -33c load....
peace perc,
Well these chips seem to like low volts so start there and see how far you can take it...Quote:

So I called them on Wed and the guy told me he would call me back and let me know what was going on. Well Thursday came and no call and no Mod Kit. So I then called them again and a diff guy answered and said that he would look into it and call me back and would send me the tracking#. Well what day is it now,,,,, oh yeah its FRIDAY and no call and no show. WTF I called again today and the girl that was there all by herself said if I ordered it on Monday then there is at least a 2 day lag cuz they order the kit from another place and they ship it from there and that I wouldnt have it till Friday anyway. I told her that it was Friday and it wasnt here and I was told I would have a tracking# and several call backs and nothing has been done. She says that she isnt even sure it was sent cuz they dont any contact with the place they order it from. They can only email them and wait. So its looking like I am out about $120. I told her I wanted them to ship me a new one overnight and she said they cant cuz of Saturday del. WTF!
So it looks like my weekend is going to suck cuz I was planning on hooking up my Mach and messin with it all weekend. I am about to hit the hardware store and make something. Oh well what can you do. I learned my lesson! I will never use FrozenCPU ever again!
As far as my evap temps I am at about -40 to -35C according to the vapo. The Core is about -21C (idle) and ends up about -7C when fully heated up :) All in all better specs than my FX.
I haven't had anytime to test 3.1, but I will soon !
D
@njkid
damm dude sounds like they dont have the kit and are tryin to buy time. ive heard of this place thru the phasechange section so im sure your not going to get screwed your just going to have to wait... good luck man it must be killing you with a phasechange unit and no kit! hey go into the phasechange section theres guys in there that can show you how to make a mounting set up for that mach1 and your X2.
@dnavarro
yeah thx man thats spot on with my temps. i thought the vapos got colder then that? im wanting to buy a vapo but im going to see what one i need to get colder then this mach1....
ok guys i got my 3800 x2 running at 260x10 2600mhz defualt v-core. would be nice if i could get 2800mhz out of it at the defualt v-core. that would be a nice chip. oh well for now its 2600mhz....
peace perc,
Perc, I actually was a bit off on the evap temps. My Vapo is saying -47C idle(it was late last nite when I posted ;) ). The other temps are a little different but vary. About -26 to -21C on the chip idle, -9 to -6C load. This is at 1.6V on the chip. But it does seem our temps are very close.
D
I went over to PC Club today and saw that they had some new X2 3800's. So I was looking at the stepping and they had one of these
ADA3800DAA5CD
CCBWE 0529RPMW
I am wondering if anyone has this stepping and if so what are you getting out of it...... Please reply if so cuz its sitting right next to me.... Thank you.
i bet you two dollars those new steppings arent going to be as good as the ones you just got from there! for some reason i think we are going to start seeing a few people getting new steppings that arent over clocking like the frist few batchs did... i mean something this good cant last forever right?
peace perc,
I've just got one of that stepping. So far I'm primestable at 250X10 at 1,47V HS removed, on an Zalman 7700Cu. Temps are ca. 33 idle and 48 load when priming. I think I can get it stable at 260 before the temps are getting too high with this cooling. One of the cores are far weaker than the other, unfortunatly. I suspect that this stepping is 4400+ that didn't make the cut, since I so far only have seen 4400+ with 0529RPMW when searching with Google. Both MaxCaseTemp and Lavalys recognize it as an Toledo also.Quote:

I was going to order it from there but FrozenCPU had better shipping prices. That will teach me for trying to save money! :( So I will have it on Wed. (only a week late) then I can test out my other X2 E6 and see if its a good clocker cuz I know of E4 is. Hmm maybe if the E6 is a good clocker I'll sell the old E4 X2 oh well I dont know....
ok this chip is realy making an impact on me. damm thing just love over clocking its a match made in heven... heres a screen of it at 270x10 1.36v gotta love that...
peace perc,
this is abit off topic ... what proggie are u guys using to display the clockspeed,temps and voltage :)
most ppl here use motherboard monitor 5 (mbm) - i for one do not really like the program all that much and i tend to use lavalys everest to display my temps/speeds etc
im using cpu-z and mb5 to detect my clock speed and all that as pictured in my screen shot. there are a ton of progs out there and depending on what mb you run some come with a decent temp prog just gotta look at your mb cd.
peace perc,
Dude that looks great! I cant wait to get my mach up and running!Quote:

peace perc,
just got mine from monarch around an hour ago - cpuid says its sh9-e4 so i guess that means its not an e6 (duh). ada3800 daa5cd ccbwe 0529spmw. boot it up at default, ok, now i am at 10x250 @ 1.36v. when i run anything like super pi, the temps go from like 34c to 56c instantly (xp90/medium panaflo) i will swith to a tornado for now, and look into some watercooling. i will post anything interesting, and when i get my evga 7800gt/free sli mainboard combo in a day or 2 i will put my tccd back in(this excellent ultra d wont boot with 2 stix tccd in) and try for some decent oc
edit - downloaded newest cpuid and it shows as jh-e6 so it is an e6. now @ 10x2700 @ 1.4v 8meg super pi stable. havent tried any higher than 8 meg yet.
very truly yours,
politenessman
looks like around 2820mhz @ 1.42v vcore will be it for air on this cpu. finally got lucky. havent had a decent overclocker since early winchester days. i will burn in this chip, get the vcore down and then try for more mhz. or invest in some average watercooling. this (2800 plus, stable) seems to be pretty good for a 3800, so if your looking for a decent chip i got this today, from monarch. i will post some screenies in a bit, maybe some 3dmark.
very truly yours,
politenessman
Its lookin good make sure you setup 2x prime and 2x super pi so you are testin both cores. CD means you have an E6. Post some ss's as soon as you can I would like to see what you are getting.... Good luck!Quote:

How do you cool this PWMIC area? Cause i've already slapped 2 OCZ small copper memory heatsinks on that IC right next to the ATX connector and a 120mm fan blowing on the area and it still will climb past 51C durring load just for one CPU..If i let both cores prime it will get up to 67C!!!
What I did was put a little HS on the ic which you already did but I also put a fan blowing on it. Mine doesnt go over 47c now. Try it cuz it will help! I hit a wall around 2.85 or so and when I did this I went to 2.95. What kind of volts are you running cuz thats gonna be the cause of the high PWMIC temps.Quote:

I have the voltage at 1.64.. I have it that high cuase thats what the sucky 2nd core needs to be happy atm.
Oh i do have the 5v line enabled for the vdimm and am pumping 3.5v into my old BH-5 ram... though that nexr bothered it before this CPU.
I have still to find the bottom of the first core as its happy no matter what it boots at.. no blue screens and gets in windows everytime.
I'm thinking either try taking it back or rip the top off of it.
