Have a great day! //turez

Amazing clock :woot:

Next time put the case inside the snow :D

Nice oc :toast:

Nice.
What is the max stable clock?

The max of my 144 is 3,15, aircooled too, but stable is only 2,8g with 1,52v on a MSI Neo2.

that is "chilled" air but not "normal" air

:eek: Yep, really amazing !!!

Rip off that sucking IHS, build up yourself an IGLO and put in Your PC with a long wire connection. You'll get 3.7 easily.........;)

Nice chip mate. :toast:

OMG, "Air supper cool" :eek:

very nice chip, but dont you think almost 1.7v is pushing it? even if your temps are reasonable its not fantastic for the chip

Nice result, its a war now ;) I will rip my IHS of and go for 3600 on air.

I assume by the temps that you do not use your IHS.

Nice result for AIR :D
Get IHS off en put some Phase or DI on it :)

that is trap!in Swiden played with advantage with those temperatures xD

When you've gotten off that HS try burning it in for a while if you haven't. F.ex run two instances of "toast burn-in" (two separate exe's.)

Great cpu and cooling solution btw!

Winter is very good for overclocking.
Low temperatures and open the window ;)
Congratulations

Nice.

You might get a few degrees lower if you have the neighborhood kids throw snowballs at the thing.... :hehe:

You peeps have luck if you live in Finland or something :p:

It's here in the Netherlands arround 0c atm too :)

nice clock man

crazy temps over there in swe! :p

nice work!

btw: we had -14 °C in Austria last Week :hehe: but I had no time to clock :(

Definetely great clocks! :toast: Rip the IHS , helps a lot .... :fact:
What TCase has that Opty of yours?

I have a Opty 146 CABYE 0540FPMW and so far I tested 3004 MHz AIR with 24°c ambient prime 8 hrs and SpI 32M STABLE, but I recognized PSU is holding me back, it doesnt make the 12V rail and the HDD turns sometimes off :( ,
so Im going for a Tagan U15 PSU (btw I see you have a Tagan too, which one?)

It's 100% 24/7 safe. I benched for hours on hours with 1.9-2.05v through my 146 and it still runs just as well as it did out of the box on water.

That would be to say before you chipped the core and destroyed some little crumby things ;)

I got the 530W Easyconnect. A great agg with very stable voltages.

Tanks everyone for your answers!

BTW: I'ts around -11C right now. Time for benching ;D

(Offtopic) You wont have your X600xt WR for much longer, Perry_78 :@

Is your card v-modded by the way?

SO SO CHEATING!!!!!

Here in ga i get maybe 4C air outside

What do you mean? It's -11C utside my house at this moment.
This is a normal outside-temp in Sweden. Wait I will show you.

chilled air very nice :D

I know It's a bad picture but you can see the inside and outside-temp.

Cold cold cold...:p:
Congratulations. :toast:
3.5Ghz on air it's very nice.

give me some of ur damn air

Amazing chilled air!!!!
Congratz!

Whoa, nice job. :clap:

Im going for the U15 (easyconnect), the 530 too :toast: Ive heard its a silent piece of PSU and great for OC , keeps cool and silent. True?

Yes that right. Very silent and stable.
There is a 580W version too. It can be worth looking at.

what are the volts?

CPU: ~1.73V
LDT: ~1.21V
ATX 5V: ~5.1V
DRAM: ~2.60V
ATX 12V: ~12.09V
NB: ~1.48V
ATX 3.3V: ~3.39V
VBAT: ~3.08V

All the volts are stock except from CPU.
The switch on the agg is set to "combine".

can you help me to OC my opty 148, i can´t break the 3.0ghz big wall?
Bios... setup... please

easy, start a thread :D

Ya gotta love winter huh :P Too bad it is +60F in NY today lol

Where in NY do you live? I'm in rockland, and on my lunchbreak I left my jacket in my car... can't complain about that! :D

What ram divider are you using? 354fsb 1:1?? That's a lot if that is the case... Reason why I ask is cuz the few opteron single-cores that I've tested were picky about dividers bigtime!

nice cooling system :D

Hey may just need to get that system an umbrella or raincoat for when it rains. :D

I almost don't believe you with this cooler ......weird ...3.5 on air :(

good job m8 !

good for you cause it's hot as hell around here...

Pump 1,8 trough it man :stick:
Must be poussible with that nice cooling system :)

Wow, you can do that high of HTT with default LDT? I usually have to raise LDT voltage a bit to stabilize high HTT.

if you live in Europe you could easily do that ^^

-11°C is normal for sweden yes.
in belguim it's 4°C or something like that.

xyus

"natural chilled air" :D

good clocks

Verry nice CPU & Air Cooling System http://smilies.sofrayt.com/^/aiw/good.gif
http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_1_26.gif

lol, i hope you dont sleepin that room, youde have frostbite

g0dM@n: This is just a suicideshot but maybe I can go a bit higher with higher LDT voltage.

Red.Sky: hehe no I sleep in the big house ;D The red house is just my "computercottage" ;D

Nice clock. I wish it could get that cold in my neck of the woods. I already have my comp in the garage with a watercooled setup.

fwiw, in my families city in the Ural mts. in Russia, it's -40C right now, and they predict -50C by end of the week! Single Stage Phase change temps on AIR, lol!!

C

That ain't bad at all. I hope mine'll do something like that, since it does 3.15GHz @ 1.45V. I'll just Vmod the darn mobo, and then you probably will see some results from me as well. ;)

It's under -14C right now. Maybe it's worth a try ;D

lol xtreme aire cooling

nice OC and all but damn dude is that a shed :p:

Hehe, that doesn't help sometimes ;) I tried to clock my system on -25C air :D but didn't succeed - it kept shutting itself down... either the capacitors got too cold or something else, but it sure didn't like that "air" :cool:

LOL...extreme air cooling....what about a bench ? I just see some cpuz screen !

I'm not sure whether I'm lucky or unlucky having that kinda tempratures here... Guess I prefer the warm to be honest, not really one for dressing in a lot of layers. ;p

lol nice. ur letting all the heat out from your house.

Nice clocks turez I wish it snowed here in Sydney, but it's summer atm and arround 30c most days :(

Don't jinx him! :D

lol that's sweet

Nice clock and well done.

I think it's a great idea to cool your rig in that way. I don't think it's cheating, air cooling is still air cooling no matter what the temp.

ı test my Optoren146 a little bit more :D
all on air
3428Mhz for now

wouldnt that cause condensation on the comp parts?

I guess if the side-panel is open, it probably doesn't... but not a bad question...

No condensation becouse its too cold.
But when I close the window and bring back the computer
inside in the heat I got to be careful.

Why :confused:

Is it something to do with being cold and sudenly being heated up :confused:

It's the same thing if you take a cold beer from your freezer and go out in the sun.
After a short while it's not dry ;D

It's because when he brings the computer back inside, the air around it will be cooled down. And it's then you get condensation, so long as the computer is warmer than the ambient you don't have anything to be afraid of.

Great stuff truez :toast:

Definatly, worth a place on xtremesystems. That is extreme alright :eek:

Now I just wish we had that kinda cold air outside over here. We just have a load and I mean A LOAD of rain all the time :p:

Any DI runs?:slobber:

lol thats exactly what i did with my cpu.

eBoy0: Not yet but its comming. The goal is 3800MHz++ on DI.

ingentingmendeg: Okey nice! Do you have some results saved?

Summer by now :D Very nice clocks on air :toast: but 380HTT aint gonna happen even with DI im afraid, coldbug wil kick in before that most likely.
