Temps drop by 15-20C, it was a bad application first time round. I tried the old pea size blob in the middle...but it only covered half the IHS in a circle.

So i used the Arctic Clean system and cleaned everything, then applied a thin line down the center of the IHS, temps dropped alot after then.

It's possible my Scythe Ninja Plus wasn't attached properly also. Since it's a fresh application of AS5 it'll take 200 hours for the paste to settle in.

So temps might drop further over time.

wow richard where did you hear that malarky ?

i have found that once i apply the AS5,, i go into windows and tool around and then shut it off for the night.. get up the next day and temps the AS5 is set.

it doesnt take 200 hours for AS5 to setting. but usually heating it up and shutting it down 1 time say over night is all thats needed.

so richard what week cpu did you get ? and whats your overclock now ?

<----- 3.6ghz 1.32v in the bios and like 1.28v droop. :)

if he has a good chip he shouldnt need over 1.35 to 1.4v max for 3.6ghz.

and he has a DQ6 there is almost no droop on those boards.

Yes does does take 200 hours, read what AS say:

Due to the unique shape and sizes of the particles in Arctic Silver 5's conductive matrix, it will take a up to 200 hours and several thermal cycles to achieve maximum particle to particle thermal conduction and for the heatsink to CPU interface to reach maximum conductivity. (This period will be longer in a system without a fan on the heatsink or with a low speed fan on the heatsink.) On systems measuring actual internal core temperatures via the CPU's internal diode, the measured temperature will often drop 2C to 5C over this "break-in" period. This break-in will occur during the normal use of the computer as long as the computer is turned off from time to time and the interface is allowed to cool to room temperature. Once the break-in is complete, the computer can be left on if desired

3.4GHz the voltage set in bios to 1.38750V and memory at .0375V, no mods on the MCH or FSB.

425x8=3.4Ghz. I have to test stability at this level now, my target is 3.4 with the lowest possible Vcore.

My temps still seem a little high, but over time they should drop a little, and if i stay under 60C i'm safe.

I got an L628A, as you can see it's alot better then the old chip.

F7a appears to be gone from the GB website, i decided not to use it myself...way for a mature beta.

kenofstephen, I just flashed to F8a and my X-Fi is working fine. Thanks for posting the BIOS. :toast:

Now I get to see if my overclock has improved.

Giving F7a a shot...temps seem 5C lower then with F6, weird. I was TIRED of losing my X-Fi with F6....we'll see how F7a fares in that regard.

and you should not act like you know what your talking about.

it doesnt take AS5 200 hours to setup..
after 24 hours your not going to see any difference in temps. 5c ? maybe if your lucky.. but that can be chalked up to 100 different variable.

rich why you running a 9x multi ?

hit 9x and crank the fsb to 400.. set vdimm to 1.4v and see if she turns right on and is stable at 3.6ghz.

the difference in speed at 450x8 vs 400x9 is 1 second or less on 1M Pi and youwont see any real world difference.

see what she can do for 9x.

Any new bios for S3 beside F6?? *same as F7 for all other boards*

anyone get SataII to work on these boards??

Well, I've rebooted about 10 times and still have my X-Fi! But now I'm getting some crackling in BF2142 after a short time. Kinda freaks me out, cause it's the first I've heard this famed issue on my card in over a year of owning. I may revert back to F5 to check.

Bios F6 definetly oc's allot better for me atleast then F8a. 520x7 bootable again with the elpida's... With terrible timings... come on gigabyte fix this thing before I am forced to sell these sticks before I can really use em :stick:

Wait.. I could sell the board to, touch choiche :fact:

It does take AS5 around 200 hours to take full effect. Im guessing you have A.D.D.

Read the instructions on the website if you don't beleive it.

I have the same chip (or at least CPUID shows same stepping and revision E6600) on my S3.

Can you list you bios/settings?

Heh. I have fast Patriot DDR2 that runs at 3-4-4-10 as default (and stable).

and the fact is after 200 hours your not gunna see 1 ounce of temperature difference
its one of the reasons i hate shin etsu,,, the stuff is like silly putty and unless there is some secret to shin etsu, ive had some unfavorable results with it compared to AS5.. Shin's pliability and temperature range at which it becomes soft enough to saturate the pores is high,, and its just yucky

read the specs all you want, i been using AS5 since it was AS1 it aint gunna make any difference at 200 hours.
the setting is the mix of heat and cool and more so the constant heat applied to it from lets say a pc running for 200 hours at X temperature.

setup the pc,, run it for a while get it nice and warm... let the as5 work its way into the pores of the IHS and heatsink.. shut it down sit it overnight and thats all she wrote.

if you have larger gaps from a concave or convex IHS or if the heatsink is on crooked or with less than sufficient downward force then no amount of hours is gunna make any difference.

and if i had ADD which just so you fully understand means Attention Deficite Syndrome. would mean i cant stick around to let the AS5 setup... and i am constantly removing the heatsink and reapplying the AS5 in hopes it will get better.

before you think about insulting someone you might take a second and stfu and realise to whom your speaking.

now back on topic..

Crackliing's better, but still there from artillery. I don't know if it's placebo or what...I hate fixin sound issues...grrrr.

no more arguments here ok? please...

200hrs is said by Arctic, believe it or not it is still a fact.

425x8=3400MHz with Vcore set in bios to 1.4000V, i had an issue with how i applied my AS5, had to do it over again and temps dropped alot.
But i'm wondering if my temps are rather high for this O/C?...had to that my case is open + thr Scythe fan is running at full speed.

I'm using F6 bios, any thoughts as to lower temps?

Your temps are fine for that voltage and prime and they will drop a few sometime in that 200 hours.

Well, my X-Fi never disappears with F8a, but my overclock that was previously stable with F4 is now unstable with F8a. I tried to lower the FSB a bit and stability actually got worse. This continues the trend I've seen since F5. I don't know what they're tweaking in these newer BIOSs, but it's killing my stability.

I think I'm going back to F4 until I get confirmation of better overclocks and better D9 compatibility. At least I have confidence we won't see the X-Fi issue again in the future.
