this is just vaguely what i remember from OC Detective, he remembers this stuff for sure.

Your to fast I was just about to post that LOL

Hey we got to talk tonight so make sure your there.

excellent... thats basically what i was looking for.... cool.

well the chip is in.. took me 10 minutes... and its running good ... a little bit hotter than my 3200+ but that was expected.

anyway.. things are good. i just need to learn how to take advantage of dual core stuff now.

Can you confirm those temps and Vcore showing both core 100% load ??, If my XP120 with HS Panaflow cant do as well as 39c (I actually get ~ 46c) with 2 instances of PRIME95 large FFT's @ 10 x 275 with only 1.502 Vcore then you either have the best Arctic Freezer ever made or you are not running both cores 100% torture load :fact: :)

my watercooling is ~39* @ full load.. with both cores doing 100% usage... Running 2 x d2ol.. so im sure prime would push them upwards.. i get ~45 after 3hrs of farcry.. this is @ stock voltage tho

Yikes!!!!!!!!!!

Lol, ok . . . what program do you want me to use to show the temps?

:D

By the way, this Freezer kept my Venice 3000+ @ 1,7 volt below 40'C :woot:

But I'll post a screenshot with Prime running, etc. etc.

That, my friend, is a complete impossibility :)

Whatever you are using to report your temps is VERY out of wack :fact:

Lol it is possible, that was not @ full load . . . And I'm using Speedfan or Smart Guardian to measure temps. We will see my friend, when I post screenie with X2 @ full load.

a little update on my ocing adventure with my 4400 x2. just got a big typhoon, yippee :). before the big typhoon, i was using an xp-120. with the xp-120, cpu idles at 37c because of ocing and high vcore. with the big typhoon, temp dropped to 32c(could be better). with the xp-120, i couldn't get the cpu to 2.8Ghz and run prime95 at all. with the typhoon i was able to go to 2.8Ghz and ran prime for a little longer. before, prime95 would fail within seconds, now with the typhoon, prime95 ran for 6 hours on core 1 and 1 hour on core 2. at vcore of 1.65, temp went up to between 58-60 while 2x prime95 were running. what's an acceptable temp for dualcore? what's the max safe temp for dualcore? i need to play around with the typhoon more and make sure the cpu/heatsink contact is good.

I am in no way disputing what these programs are telling you All_Star, you may have an onboard diode that is not correctly calibrated or some other impossible to find fault but you will find that if you can get hold of a digital temp probe it will give you a completely different reading :)

What ??? With an Arctic Freezer , i dont think so dude :shock2: :stick:
Is the IHS still on ?

I have XP120 and Big Typhoon , off course with some AS5 applied , no way to get like yours :rolleyes:

Pff stop whining about the temps, my system is stable, so I don't ***** mind what the temps are :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

All_Star:

Chill, your temps as you report them are BS. Don't attack others for your ignorance! If this was fact, "so I don't ***** mind what the temps are", you would not have posted this to start with.....

no arguing guys... there's lots of data, wash it with your brains :)

I've stuck this thread, it's huge it gets hit a lot... there's a separate thread I've linked for posting your final stable OC, please read the first post and follow the outline!

Thanks!

So , what will you guys do when one core is weaker than another ?

Disassemble the machine, throw the parts in the trash, and revert back to legal pads and postage stamps! :banana:

Suffer...honestly

There's nothing you can do.. give it as many volts as you can cool it for and see if you can get it stable..

btw, one core is always weaker than the other...

My X2 has the same problem. One core is 30 Mhz better than the other. I also noticed that core 1 is slightly faster than the other when running superPi 1M & 32M. With current manufacturing processes It is difficult to get every core identical.

finally got my 4400 x2 to oc to 2.8Ghz a little more stable. i think installing the big typhoon and having cooler weather outside help. here's cpuz validation. it seems like core 2 or cpu1 is a weaker core. i can bench cpu0 in prime95 for hours, but cpu1 fails 30mins to an hour later.

http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=38829.

i wish both cores are good, oh well.

It's not that core 1 is faster per se... it's that core 0 is the default target for background apps slowing it slightly

how do u guys know which core is weaker than the other one? is there any software that can tell let say core 0 max out @ 2.7 while core 1 can do better?
09-18-2005, 01:46 PM
don_vercetti

u generally just overclock away, using dual prime or something for stability, and whichever core tends to fail first is the weaker core.

Hey ugly dont give away my secrets...LOL

What I do guys is when a core seems to be failing before the other is go into the task manager and change the affinity for several different services to try and equal out the load on the cores. It makes a big difference in stability for your weaker core.

these are preliminary results. Prime and SuperPI 32M stable...
