hhmmmm i want one. gotta sell me current cpu off first
k it's official, i'm going to do everything in my power to buy one of these, because 3ghz on air is dumbly awesome
njkid32 common get some water...it's dirt cheap dude and you'll be at 3GHz stable from what i've seen so far
Water, thats what i told him, and i linked him up with some parts. It's only a matter of time before he gets water, or chilled water, of vapo, who knows, that guy is driven ;)Quote:

Those look amazingly tits...and fun. :)
But hey, water and phase (prommie's and vapo's) ain't bad either, and that chip will probably do spectacular on any of them. :D
Keep rocking NJ. Awesome results, and thanks one more time for sharing. I hope you can get some sleep soon, although if you're xtreme like you seem to be ("1 more fsb, 10 more mhz...then i'll go to bed"), you prolly won't. But best of luck anyway ;)
yeah your right I am still awake I am going to take the day off tomorrow and mess with this some more. I am now at 2.8 1.48v priming for 7hrs. I forgot that I raised the HTT to 280. I thought I was still at 2.75 LOLQuote:

no praw. Obviously a phase unit or water-cooling is more feasible for everyday usage, but if you want to see the limits of how far the chip will go and are willing to run your stuff out of a case it might be a good option. Assuming you could find the limit before the "way too cold" bug acts up (I think approx -60c on venny/sandy/manny/toley cores iirc?) with the right mix of acetone of course. ;)
I just don't know how much more you could get out of that chip on water, as it looks to be doing damn good on air, and running cool at that. Water is a nice long-term solution though because it's quiet (if you don't by [a] 200cfm fan[s]...) and would last you for many more systems to come, but arn't that much more efficient (less than 10c) than high-end air (chilled water is an ecception of course) and i've found through myself and other peeps it doesn't help ocs that much. No more buying hsf's though, only blocks if need-be when changing a socket. It's also relatively cheaper than phase, and doesn't eat up as much electricity, and the blocks don't cost as much as new brackets for a phase unit (ie cheaper in long-run.) I guess it all comes down to how xtreme you are. If you want to replace your air on a budget for the longterm, or want to decorate your case with cool hoses, grab water. If you have the bucks for a phase unit, grab a prommie or vapo (or build one), and if you just want to bench it, try one of chilly's crazy contraptions.
I'm sure whatever you do you'll get your 3ghz, which is awesome. Good luck bro. Keep us updated. :)
I was looking at getting a machII setup not to long ago but wasnt sure I wanted to spend 900.00. Now I am thinking that I may just do that. Not to sound conserv but I would like to keep it in a case. I could care less about the pretty colors or a great lookin case. I mean it couldnt hurt but is not my first choice! I would rather have it all dangling off my desk and run 3.2 or something than have it in my case running 2.9 lookin all pretty. LOL

The BH-5 is amazing :D
Going for DDR580 with it tonight
Having trouble stablizing anything over 3gig
Me thinks I'm hovering around cold bugs which is bugging me
edit... this is with dry ice bios says -47
Oh yeah... random lockups while loading windows at 3ghz where it's definetly stable sometimes, but locks up so fast at others, is definetly a cold bug eh?
Edit oh yeah... Does 32MB stable at 2.8 at 1.5v though(on air) :P
Depending on your location, you should consider getting your phase change unit from Chilly1 or PCice, the value for the money should be better and the servive too. You could also build it yourself, you will learn things and have fun in the process, plus you will save $$.Quote:

I have seen that and yes it looks really good. As for phase I am still thinking about it. But what I really need to do is some reading cuz I dont know much about it..Quote:

You have a really nice oc justwOo just get it stable! Dry Ice ya said thats crazy cooling.
Yeah I might call it a night, and then try to re-do my dry ice with less cold temps tommorow :P
lol
Initial progress:
I did dual Prime95's on my week-27 AW chip @ 2.4GHz/1.4v for 6 hours last night while I slept. I just picked 2.4 out of the blue as a mediocre O/C. When I get home tonight, what should my second burn-in test be? 2.4 again but try with a lower voltage? Or try going up to 2.5 with the voltage as-is and see if it'll remain stable?
Thanks,
Brian
Just max it OUT
yeah max it out, and nice x2 3800 you got there njkid32, I might consider one to use as an rendering farm, your results make me wanna get one now hehe ;)
I've also noticed something about my x2 4400+, I can use lower vcore by using lower multi for some weird reason. For example, I can run stable at 10x285 and 1.50v, but when I use the 11x259 it wants more...hm..weird, but it's better to run higer mem/htt speed anyway so ;)
Thanx lv_88, right now I am just maxing out my cpu and then I will mess with the ram and multi's ect. I just want at least 3ghz stable with low voltage. Well thats what everyone wants lol. But I am just slowly working my way up.Quote:

After more playing and trying to get around the cold bug I've gotten some nicer results, I think theres still more in her though :)

On the prime, it would've kept running, but I nodded off and the temps got too high! lol
Ok this where I am at now-- I am at 2.9ghz at 1.65v (is this to high?) for some reason I had to go from mid 5's to 1.65v to get from 2.85 to 2.9ghz. HMM dont know have I reached its max... Or maybe just a ram setting I noticed on my venince and sd they needed a little ram tweaking to get stable and up untill this point I haven touched the ram. My temps are still good at 44c.
50mhz at cost of .1v on v-core sounds like you did hit limit basically. I concur that 1.6-1.65v is the last step you should take on these X2s for maximum overclocking on most H2O and good air cooling if your temp is good. Only thing left for you now to get that instant 200-400mhz boost left now is in cooling :) (Thats how much jump I made about 300-350mhz with single phase system... trying to get the little extra by swapping my system with even bigger compressor now :P Your result do look exceptionally good though :) Kudos for awesome chip.Quote:
