A temp probe. :DQuote:

It can only give you troubles ( most of the time losing memory channels on i7 ).
If your insulation around the socket area and between the socket & your pot is good then there's no need for any kind of insulation in the socket.
I'll take some pics when I receive my new Classified 3 in a few days.
Yep it is, luckily Coretemp supports all, Maybe you can give AMD Overdrive a run. Just too bad the AMD temp sensors are so so...Quote:

PS: 1800th post. :D
great work Don_Dan!
hey guys I got a quick question on 2d. i have noticed alot of clockers use a low-end graphics card for 2d.
does this have a benefit? if so... what is the most preferred card for 2d runs?
Any card works as long as it displays resolutions higher than 1024x768 with default Microsoft VGA driver. People often use old, crappy VGAs because they don't require additional power.
yo stevero
nice work...you're starting tobe addicted LOL
Yep, nice going SteveRo! :up:

Good evening all,
Trying to come up with a decent pcmark05 score for the October HWBOT OC Challenge.
The config is as follows:
GGBT EP45T mobo with Celeron single core 440 @ 4500 with old 2x1GB @ 900 7-6-5-2T.
Vga subsystem is ATI 5870 @ 1025/1300 @ 1.3v and fan on full.
Storage is Areca 1880 4GB cache with 12xAcard9010
OS is fully updated – no registry tweaks – vistaX32.
I need help!
I’m getting dismal scores and need help with –
Transparent windows – 1595 :(
Web page rendering – 2.74 :(
Graphics memory – 3400 :(
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Up ya ram clocks man,try another ram divider and lower the PL for more boost...
Have you tried another ATI driver ? Scores seem indeed very low for that GPU... though it almost beats my 480 card :) Nvidia 4 series is no good for PCmark :( Is Aero really on ?
Install your Dominator GT 2000C7 and go for 1:2 CL7-7-7-21, or tighter if possible of course, and change your PL, try 7, that should be doable.
What's your NB voltage?

Is PL the memset "performance level?
Yes, I have tried different ATI driver, no joy. I wonder if 8x is holding back the 5870. I'm using an areca 1880 in the other slot. :(
I will try again but so far I haven't been able to get the GTc7's to even boot at a reasonable overclock. I'm on EP45T-USB3P bio F2d.Quote:

What nb voltages should work for the dominators?
I would love to get the dominators to work in this board!
I think that might help the scores!
You're using value RAM right now, aren't you? Don't run auto, Gigabyte boards like to set extremely high voltages when pushed like that. What's your NB voltage?Quote:

Yes, tRD=PL=Performance Level.
Oh, ninja-edit ^^
I'm using 1.4V NB voltage on my P45.
Take out the Areca and check graphics memory score. It might be the reason.
Did you try the other memory slots?
Linuxfan got his Hypers to ~800MHz CL6-6-6-18 on the EP45T-UD3LR, but it was a tough fight as well. That's why I think P45+DDR3 is the worst combination ever. :rolleyes:
Yes, kingston 1066 1.5v stuff - 2x1GBQuote:

I will test - we will see.
Yes, tried the dominators in both sets of slots, no joy.Quote:

Too bad you already tried this. Sometimes Gigabyte board can be really picky about memory, my DDR2 UD3P doesn't like my Corsair 8888C4D as well, it just won't boot, regardless of speed, timings and voltage. :shrug:Quote:
