S478 on DryIce

[TaPaKaH]

After getting 5.04GHz from my Prescott ( http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&postcount=571 ) on Alu DI container I`ve decided to go get some more...
Bought myself copper container from kiwi

Polished it like so:

Got me some DI and I was ready to get more !

But, sad things happened!
After testing my ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe with an ES on FSB350+ ( to check stability on high FSB) I found out that MoBo is dead ...
Having not enough time to go to get to the shop where I bought it, I found that the only MoBo i can use for this OC is P4P800-SE moBo. Because this MoBo can only give no more that 1.6V on Prescott I did not expect any good OC anymore. But that didn`t stop me from OCin`
Second bad thing about P4P800-SE is that on the particular MoBo i have had CPU fan frame can only be removed by damaging it, so I did not remove it.
That also didn`t stop me from serious OCin`

Especially for this OC I have finally bought myself a digital camera

My OC setup:
P4 Prescott E0 3.0GHz
ASUS P4P800-SE (Gold)
Kingston KHX3200AK2/1G (Winbond CH-5)
Galaxy 6600GT AGP
Q-Tec 500W PSU (i know that you`ll say to be aware from this PSU but it`s fine - it can hold FX-57 @ 3.9GHz + 2x7800GT without any problems...)


First (test) run shown that CPU idle temp was -39C

Firstly I was gonna get some Suicide shots...
Here`s the highest validated : http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=81613
I also reached 4900MHz (but forgot to save validation file).
For 1.6V I think it`s not so bad ...
System running :



Then I decided to bench it. The best I could do was 4.6GHz SuperPi 1M

The reason why the result is so weak because I did not want any speed - I just wanted to reach the highest SuperPi 1M freq, so RAM was running FSBDR 3:2 @ 2.5-4-4-8. I did not run CPU-Z in the background because the whole system freezed after this run, so the best I could do was only to take a photo.
I also ran locan benchmark called "BootMark" @ 4.45GHz and achived 12882 points in it...


It`s not bad for 1.6V Prescott ...

Then strange things have happened. The system failed to boot a couple of times so I decided to reset BIOS. OK, system starts now, but starting BIOS the whole system freezes. After a couple of restarts I`ve set the BIOS settings right and Started Windows.
That was the most shocking thing:
The whole system settings were reset - all the drivers were Windows stock, the desktop has changed to winXP default, the system settings have changed to WinXP default.

The worst thing was that ClockGen did not run. System shown " ClockGen.exe is not a vilid Win32 application"

After that I did not have enough time to set the settings back because:
1)I was running out of DI
2)I have made a mistake by giving too much aceton in the contrainer, so it bagan to expand and could not fit anymore in the tube.

All that has made me to spot this DI run.
System "unfreezes"


But I gonna get me some LN2 and will try it one more time in April...
