i was gonna attach the pic of my setup now..but me don't have a sdhc to usb adapter """F***********CK""

testing cpu1: 6320 @ 1.651ghz....lol
setfsb check
turbo ...x6 """"F********CK"""


i had small surges earlier lmao...i guess ss was a good idea..to be not broght..maybe breaker here is not good in hotel

[Hondacity]

any x48 gurus? calling capt Don_Dan - oi got msn/skype/ym?

475mhz base clock on the 6320, she's my torture chip...before i put the 6300 in..

GTL settings? please don't say "auto" LOL

[Don_Dan]

I got skype, yeah.

Auto worked quite well for me....
What are your voltage settings? Even on my bad E6300 I reached 500MHz FSB on air easily, but it only did 515MHz on LN2...
You have to keep in mind though, that there are some really bad chips out there as well, my first E6600 was hardly able to clock the FSB over 400MHz.

[Hondacity]

LOL auto!

I only have skype at home lol, no skype with my work laptop.
they have block scripts against skype.

I guess no need to toast the northbridge with high voltage.
I'll try the other chips on air tonight, maybe some of them can do higher fsb.

Aircooling in front of the aircon...17C FTW )

[ZenEffect]

bring a bench rig and find a grocery store with dice.

[Hondacity]

i brought my ln2 dewar(20L left)....hahahah wish i can show pics..but i can't coz my sdhc adapter is missing

[Don_Dan]

What's your Vnb? Did you change the thermal compound under the stock NB heatsink? Or are you even using after-market coolers for NB/SB?

Are you using Hypers or D9s?

[Hondacity]

stock cooler at the moment...i forgot one heatsink for the sbridge. so i'll stick with stock cooler. nb heatsink is @ 24C @ 1.65v lol

one d9 kit from xtreem...6 more cpus then off to ln2 land.

i also found my ln2 supplier outlet... its near the machine shop which is machining my pot...woooo

[Don_Dan]

I never went over 1.55-1.60V even for 600MHz+ FSB. Is that heatsink or chip temperature? Please try again at, say, 1.50V Vnb, my NB was quickly overheating at more than 1.60V and losing stabiliy even under light load.

[Hondacity]

I repasted my heatsinks with the non solid chunks that asus normally uses lol..so i think the temps are fine. yeah i'll lower the vnb..might help with the other chps lol

[Hondacity]

found out that my printer has an sdhc port

woot ...y.JPG

[Retrolock]

^you still in the hotel and benching? wish I could do that in our motels here lol!

[Hondacity]

hahhaha i gotta do it ....it'd be useless buying hardware hahaha

thanks to my van, i can carry most of my hardware hahaha



**imaging hd, backup drives needed once setfsb is involved lol

[Don_Dan]

880MHz 7-8-8-24?! What's up with your memory?
Which strap are you using?

[Hondacity]

im using 400, its the tightest comparing 333 & 266 & 400. the e6850 is a joke lol

the heavy pot im using is a breeze...i don't even have to pour like 30 times a minute...lol

oh yeah notes:

1. boot 520mhz low cpu multi, low memory multi
2. 528 stable... 529mhz freeze
3. change multis, no change,
4. change voltages, no change
5. conclusion: pos cpu :-))

[Don_Dan]

400 is the loosest strap, and the 3:5 divider on that strap is bugged, it's 2:3 in reality. 266 strap is probably the tightest, the way you're running now you're losing lots of efficiency because of the low memory clock and slack MCH timings. I'd only use 400 3:5 if you're well over 600MHz FSB and your board can't run 266 2:3 anymore. Try to use 333 5:8 now please, and did you try timings like 7-6-5 or at least 7-7-6?
Did you test which strap your board preferres? Mine seems to favour the 333 strap, but it hates the 266 unfortunately.

Which chip is next?

[Hondacity]

e8500 is next... 15L to go..

[Don_Dan]

That's a good choice, no one on the team has taken care of it yet. 600MHz FSB on air done yet?

[Hondacity]

no numbers yet...shoould be fun and fast...

[Don_Dan]

Do you have some results? Did the chip cooperate? ^^


Are you guys ready for a very old benchmark? Try Aquamark v2.1 for the challenge at hwbot.org!

[Hondacity]

something popped' last night, and im further away from the house..im almost in Utah lol

e8500 was suspected dead prior so could be cpu, could be mobo.

hopefully i get enough ln2 before sunday hits.

[Don_Dan]

Too bad that didn't work out well. It would be a shame to lose such a mainboard!

[Hondacity]

i have backup p5e3Premium

so i drove 1400miles yesterday just to get a spare lightning(@ home)(and grabbed my empty dewar, refill friday before they close)....thats 2240kilometers

hahahhaha i have no sleep yet....work is done....house is 500miles away...

when i get back home...i driven 1900miles in two days...thats 3040kilometers when i get back home ...i think i need a 4hour sleep before i drive 7hours..lol

note to self:
1. pick up modified pot
2. 50L ln2

oh yeah its friday b*tches, you guys better bench

[Dumo]

Room service attendant at my hotel freaked out when she saw a bunch of electronic devices with cords around it. Lol

[Hondacity]

lol, I'd be curious too if a guest had too many things inside their room. especially that funky looking dewar,l and the guest had the privacy tag outside the door for many days lol.
