Test it Bulldog! It should do yes!

no it doesnt!! send it to me !

lololol

just kiddin, good luck on that (and on the whisky)

Wow, the fusion has way to much restriction for my D5 pump. I already knew that it was restrictive but, when I attempted to blow into it and notice the amount of force required to get air exit the other barb I was concerned. My concerns were verified when I installed my loop. My pump began making a noise I never heard before and that worried me. The force of the water exiting the loop into the res was far lower then normal, to low for my liking. In a nutshell if you don't find a SE I wouldn't be worried. Put a fan on the N/S bridge and call it a day IMO. Or, use all 3/8" ID tubing (I had 1/2" ID tubing).

Here are my C2D settings with 450x8 and ram at 1200mhz. Tested over night, stable. For the first post perhaps:

I`m so proud and happy with working 400strap

[Darkstormz]

I just got some trouble here.
Was about to reboot and the computer rebooted, but then it said CPU INIT.
Tried to clear cmos, put battery out for 15min.
I took the motherboard out too and checked everything.

Will try with a different cpu tomorrow...

I got this board with 4B Crucial Ballistix DDR2-800, can I start out with 3.0Ghz first and work all the way up to 3.6Ghz? I'm currently using 0602 btw. Any advices are welcome and appreciated.

[leoftw]

good luck I'm testing my setup as I type this. so far I'm on 1.52V and not even stable . I'm trying to get it to 3.6ghz. I get frustrated easy so I've actually been trying for about a week now . all together about 8hrs for 3.6ghz

[Grnfinger]

I fianlly got 3.6GHz stable again on the 8 multi thanks to nuckin_futs.
Now to get bios 903 to run my setup

[iTravis]

Anyone? Guide for 3.0Ghz?

[safan80]

Anyone? Guide for 3.0Ghz?

ask leo

[TheSamurai]

3.0?

375 x 8... leave everything else on auto. 3GHz shouldn't be a problem at all.

Thats great !! what are your temps .

1. What are your temps? If 64c scares you, you might as well stop trying to get to 3.6Ghz unless you're planning to go chilled liquid or something. A few days ago, I saw 100c on my quad when the loop kinked. So these CPUs can take a lot of heat into the high 80s.

2. Are those 4x1 rams your running capable of the speeds your pushing them? 4 sticks = plenty volts on the NB. You could try two sticks first, then 4 to eliminate that problem as a factor in your poor overclocks.

3. What are your settings?

Here is what I remember from my settings

FSB=400
Multiplier=9
FSB Strap=400
CPU Voltage=1.4-1.5 it boots up everytime but crashes occt
my temps at 1.4 are around 58-65c depending on the cpu voltage
ddr2800 is what I set it at
the voltage for the ram is set at 2.0

I can't remember what I put on the northbridge.

[joe.denice]

now for my setup, should I try the FSB strap at 400?? I am stable right now already at 4ghz (10x400) with my setup now.

wtf ! whats your setup ?

[joe.denice]

look at my sig, sorry I just updated it.

[leoftw]

I thought you had a different cpu

[BulldogPO]

With 0903 bios those 0.5 multis do´nt work.

[w0lla]

I picked/ordered this board with Ultima-90 and OCZ reaper memory (2 x 2gb). Is there enough space around the cpu socket so that the ultima-90 wont touch the memories ?

[joe.denice]

With 0903 bios those 0.5 multis do´nt work.

yeah i know, to bad, I was trying for 10.5x400 for 4.2ghz.

[Aurhinius]

Having problems getting over 3.3 Ghz stable on my Q6600 G0.

Does 3.33Ghz at 1.3v 415*8 rock solid.

Would like to get 3.6ghz tried 400*9 and I can't seem to stabilise it. Tried all the way up to 1.4v on vcore can get in to windows but Prime95 bluesceens vista after a 5 or so loops.

Seems 3.3 is my sweetspot as the VID for my CPU is 1.3. Guess I got a duff one.

Bios 903.

Any advice?

[kup]

Unless you got a bloody good CPU you'll need more than 1.4v for 3.6GHz. Stick it to 1.5v and once it passes a few hours of prime small ffts, lower it a notch (1.485v?) and try again, repeat until it becomes too unstable, bump the voltage up one notch and retest. It should now be stable.

[Aurhinius]

Cheers Kup will give it a shot.

Any advice on CPuPLL? Currently using 1.5v
