Got all of mine back on WCG now...
The XS Xpress is gathering steam..:up:
And i just replaced a single core with a dual core, will be replacing another single core tonight.
The Sooner State has spoken!:up:Quote:

I should see a good improvement in points.
Those 3800X2's were nice chips. Still very viableQuote:

My Q9450 is cruching along at 3.76, finally stopped tweaking it so I can just let it run now.
Edit: And I'll get a phenom system crunching soon, I have 2x1gb sticks and an Opty 1356 coming in on Wednesday or so. Just gotta hope its as good as the 165's were for that generation.
That's a nice speed on that chip..Air? water? temps?Quote:

Excellent..Those are pretty close to the temps I get with a Q6600 @3600 on a TRUE.Quote:

Yeah, the X38/X48 boards don't really do too well with the 45nm quads. Some of the highest clocks I've seen on a Q9450 is on a P5E-VM HDMI, a G35 chipset. I wonder how P45's do with them.Quote:

I wouldn't be to quick to blame the chipset. I have 2 x3360's and they both hit a fsb wall at around 475 on air no matter what board I try them in and it looks like that's about the same ceiling Oldguy932 is finding.Quote:

It will happen with some new people, some older guys coming back and some new technology.
I don't think this, I know it.:up:
I'm upset with you cause you're telling me not to get a Yorkie. Sure, its' easy to tell me that when you're running two Harrys. You got yours'... And, here I just want one measly 9550 to keep me occupied til Nehalem. :rofl:Quote:

So don't think you're alone with a bullseye. About the only one who is safe from that, at least from other teammembers, is Victor. Unless we have people with some major ( I'm talking monstrous, here :) ) delusions of grandeur! ... :ROTF::shakes:
Anywhoo, luv ya Dave. :p:

Its as annoying as getting a phenom small fft's stable at 3ghz and then its impossible to do blend because the motherboard hates you.Quote:

He was like "why don't you get that ceiling fan fixed?"
I was like "It works, I just forget to turn it on". I probably haven't had it on in over a year.
Anywhoo, it has been on since. It is nice to have some air movement in here. Feels cooler. Plus, it helps if I have a "plume" moment... :ROTF:

Speaking of quads, I'm FINALLY getting my old motherboard back from warranty after 4 bloody months (with a free "upgrade" from a 680i to a 780i), so I'll hopefully be getting another rig up and running within the next 2 weeks. Probably stick my B3 on the 780i and a G0 in my main rig.

Luck and some great people that helped out.:up:
Now the phenom system is crunching along at 2.75ghz. Turns out my opty comes in today and not on wednesday because it only had to ship from Pennsylvania so I'll only have the system up for around 6-8 hours before I start tweaking again.
Rather than starting a new thread to make this minor announcement, I will tack it on to this one. I am (or will be) crunching under this new user name with the q6600 cruncher I bought from DavidL6 recently, after I put it back together...
Yeah :( not my favourite time of the year, let me tell you!Quote:

Really doesn't seem to matter what board I put 'em in, P35, 780i, or X48, They all have about equal success as far as I can tell although I really do love running one in my sli setup, big fun :D
"Welcome to the team!
What is "the basement" like?"
The basement has a summer ambient of about 60F summer and 50F winter. It contains an e6850, with some good games installed, surround sound, a q6600 that is being rebuilt, lots of spare computer parts and cooling supplies, and the occasional cat. It's pretty cool.

Those temps might be a bit ambitious. I don't have a thermometer here today, but I've measured it before, it's 62ish F summer and 50ish F winter. Still, a nice place for computers. It's a deep basement in an old house in southern Illinois.Quote:

Yeah, but you'll have access to the college's computers and network. They probably have fiber optic lines and a macro lab with lots of fast machines. You can't torture and abuse the machines like they were your own, but it could still be fun.Quote:

Two OC3, and yeah, lots and lots of nice computers. All I saw for displays were Samsung 22's. They lock the cases though.Quote:

Now, back to you, what name are you on the WCG page so we can see why your stats aren't coming up on the team page?
I know you did but have to ask, are you sure you joined the team?
OOPS, I found you:)
