thanks for the help guys
i don't have big hardware store where i live i'll see what i can find
otherwise i'll be sopping the woman's sections ;0 maybe i can get my mom to get some for me

i'd really appreciate it hondacity, i haven't reached more than 240 in my limited time i tried with a low multi, those cpu or ram bsods are making me crazy and i'm about to murder some silicon

**Hondacity** · 08-10-2009, 11:25 PM

one thing i've noticed...

cpu crash is..instant bsods...

ram crash is...when the screen freezes then bsods...

here are my quick settings..i use this for most of my runs...ht off and ht on

not really loose, but ummmm just change the em to 8-8-8 or 9-9-9

this is my boot settings
i used this..as base...

**dinos22** · 08-10-2009, 11:45 PM

yes those crashes are pretty typical of CPU and RAM as described

**Don_Dan** · 08-11-2009, 03:21 AM

Hondacity, do you still want help for 32M?
Did you try Monteboy's SPi Tweaker?

Ryan, any news about an own section for our team?

**Hondacity** · 08-11-2009, 06:44 AM

Don_Dan

yesssssss i need help with the 32m.... man my runs are stable but my tweak is soooo bad... i know the classy and my ram and my cpu are very very good..

my os and technique is bad... HELP HELP HELP

Thanks dude

**mk-ultra** · 08-11-2009, 04:17 PM

thanks
lol yeah i've run memory timings MUCH looser than this

like 11-11-11-24(trfc103) LOL
i was expecting you used more subtimings tweaks

i'll try to use 2way/1way
also what does memory low gap do?

cpu clock skew 100 is interesting tho, i've tried to play with it a bit for getting my 229.5x21 validation, but i guess it was hopeless from the start

**Hondacity** · 08-11-2009, 05:56 PM

i see you have an a batch it might be the limiter...what voltages do you use?

**Hondacity** · 08-11-2009, 08:53 PM

well a bencher said that...wprime runs faster on vista.....i have no data on it...vista is installing

**Hondacity** · 08-12-2009, 12:11 AM

well as i suspected...vista sucks....LOL

it adds like 4seconds over my same max bclk... 13$ worth of dice wasted...

**mk-ultra** · 08-12-2009, 04:18 PM

i tried lots of different voltages i based my volts on anandtech classy review and start from there
but heat might be the biggest issue too, i'll see how it performs under cold and i got another w3520 on the way to compare

hc
did you tried win7 ?

**Hondacity** · 08-12-2009, 05:17 PM

i tried the eval version..i think my license for that is expired..i'll prolly get the upgrade for my vista ulitmate...

with watercooling and good ambients i'd go 1.55v maxx on vcore

its suicide...

i got an a revision too...i can't go ever 225bclk...it sucks but it can do 4.4ghz easy..

**mk-ultra** · 08-14-2009, 07:06 PM

i've just finished my 1st dice session

i mostly did some trial and error and learned lots of stuff
overall it went pretty good and fun

, can't wait to get my dom gt back tho. This g-skill kit is not in the same league

did some validations

2nd w3520 on hwbot, not bad for first try

i mainly played with wprime, but i'll beat those scores away once i found out how to get e-leet working in diagnostic start

i still got lots of dice left for tommorow,
i weighted the whole box when i got it and it was ~45lbs

and i still have like 2/3 left

**Hondacity** · 08-14-2009, 07:15 PM

wooooooooooooooo get gold

disable ht

what is your vcore?

xtreme indeed

**mk-ultra** · 08-14-2009, 07:25 PM

i stayed within e-leet 1.6 max vcore, i tried disabling HT and couldn't get 250 either, i guess it just need more juice or the higher QPI multi from the xeon will stop me from going further

i just saw you used much more vcore than this, what's the max you used?

**Hondacity** · 08-14-2009, 08:19 PM

1.74v on the vcore
and 1.7 volts on the ummm i forgot the term...LOL

**mk-ultra** · 08-15-2009, 05:00 AM

vtt?

**Hondacity** · 08-15-2009, 06:04 AM

yeah vtt LOL

**mk-ultra** · 08-16-2009, 08:45 AM

i'm all out of dice

i did score some points this weekend, but i'm very limited by my ram. I'll wait to get my Dominator GT to make another session it was fun and frustating weekend overall.

the instability from the ram or imc killed a lot of seemingly good runs. I beated a few of my scores posted on hwbot but i didn't had time to take a screenie.

i experienced something very wierd when setting 248blck x21 the qpi/uncore/core speed jumps around forth and back and i can't barely move my mouse or do anything, really wierd.

**Hondacity** · 08-16-2009, 08:53 AM

yes i have the same problem...the multiplier jumps..thats the problem with high vcore....(turbo is actually no stable with high vcore)

solution:

..go thru the voltage increments.....example like vcore...1.4..then raise it to 1.45..then raise it to 1.55...then increase bclk..by 1mhz..then adjust vcore again...don't do 1.8v

**mk-ultra** · 08-16-2009, 08:58 AM

thanks i'll look into that next time

i saved a validaion while it was jumping around > http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=657922

**Hondacity** · 08-16-2009, 10:22 AM

ahhahaha 5.8ghz

my daily update...

nice runs you guys.... mk-ultra benching at 5.1ghz is just awesome on the w3520
jcool running quad cpu's woooo
and Xtreme_Solid is doing a phenomenal JOB

Not bad at all!!!! that is Awesome for a first try, you can only get better right ?

**mk-ultra** · 08-16-2009, 12:07 PM

thanks guys
i've learn lots of stuff, but i still got plenty to learn

i did:
2x 2nd place w3520
2x 3rd place w3520
2x 5th place w3520
went from 9 to 5 in Canada
29 to 18 in XS team
overall, well i'm no there yet

here's some pics I took over the weekend, feels good to have PC back in his place tho

dice - check

acetone - check (don't mind the size of the container, i was a bit exited

)

bloodrage insulation

BR in action

not much to try with bloodrage's blck limit

let's get serious, classified in action

defrosting

i think i'll have to insulate the top part a little better next time

cpu/mobo defrosting

Some very good results from jcool have been posted using 2 Xeon X5570:

August 17th

I didn't forget you, I will send you a PM in a minute. Sorry for the delay!

I totally understand that, I'm very busy at the moment too and it's hard, but xs comes second to my other duties...

Besides that, I have a nice idea for the section....
