L627A95 + P5B Dlx

[dr_sharp]

Got all of my parts in yesterday, threw everything together and started going. This is actually my first watercooling setup.

Components:

Core2 Duo E6600 L627A795 (week 27)







Asus P5B Deluxe WiFi


G.Skill 2x1GB PC6400 GBHZ


XFX 7600GT (stock for now)


Swiftech Apogee and MCP655 DC Pump


Obviously the temperature sensor on this board isn't even worth looking at

The Setup:



Interesting cooler for northbridge (which gets ridiculously hot):

[Shpoon]

How's the sound level on the NB cooler?

And my regret with buying the P5W over the P5B....NB uses those fackign hooks....goddamn I hate them, my Jing ting won't even work on it :/

Can't wait to see your results.

[day187]

any results yet 400x9 would nice

[dr_sharp]

24/7 stable settings: 3.6GHz

Bios rev 0507 (stock)
FSB: 450
Multi: 8
vCore: 1.6000
vDimm: 2.30
vFSB: 1.40
vNB: 1.55

And the good stuff:















And here's a quick taste of what's to come (my mems is good )

[Direwolf]

Looks really nice, I cant wait to see what she will max out at. Make us happy and be safe!

[Nasgul]

Can you do a 500x6 or 500x7 with that RAM?

Nice 3DMark06 CPU score. Mine scores 2700 on a 450x7.

[dr_sharp]

How's the sound level on the NB cooler?

Virtually silent... the 7600GT fan drowns it out
(not to mention the 2 delta 120x38 fans and the 80x50 delta fan.

Thanks
I having difficulty right now getting her to 4GHz but i think this weekend i'll find the key

Right now I believe I'm mobo limited for 500... the highest I can go 1:1 is 480... maybe I'm chip limited?

This guy here was able to pull 500fsb with that MoBo: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=112303

Yes, there have been many people reaching 500+ with unmodded boards. There have also been many people struggling with them. I'm in between atm

[dr_sharp]

The G.Skill is incredible:



And I believe I am, in fact, cpu limited. I am hitting the same clock wall at a multi of 9 that was at a multi of 8 (3.8-3.9GHz)

@dr_sharp

at what vcore are you running at with 430 x 9?

[situman]

The mobo is heat limited. I have the Chipforce chipset cooler. I literally burned my finger from touching the very TOP FIN. The NB runs incredibly hot. How people with the stock heatpipe cooler gets such high fsb is beyond me. I got as high as 475 before things get a little whacky. Watercooling might be a good idea, but its just too cramped. It runs much hotter than any nvidia chip.

I beleive it was 1.675 bios... or 1.61-1.62ish actual

Indeed, I was amazed to feel how hot NB was... its a good thing they used copper here... I believe alot of people have no case and fans pointed right at NB when benching.

damn bro you took it up 1.67! I was hesitated already at 1.65.. I think my e6600 and yours are about the same eventhough different batch. But you were able to run 1:1 @ 430fsb; I had to do 4:3 because of the stupid p5w memory divider problem.

Yea 1.675 is the highest i've had it... I saw someone go to 1.65 on air and I was like, wtf... i've got water, bring on the voltage

[Brahmzy]

It ain't copper - just copper colored aluminum. I lapped the entire set of stock sinks and out comes the silver.

You would not believe how badly the factory applied the paste to the NB cooler on the die. only about a quarter of the die had paste on it!

Oh snap!

Off it comes then!

[Grinch]

Yeah I would yank it all off and use some AS5....so did you get chip any further?

I got the beta of clockgen that supports the P5B deluxe. I ran a few super pis at 3.9GHz but I'm not going to push any harder until this weekend after I lap the IHS and NB.

[Grinch]

well I just got in my E6600 today and it is the exact same stepping as yours...and I am watercooling it as well...now all I need is a mobo and some ram...LOL....

[GAR]

i got the same setup preety much, this is where im at........

[Brahmzy]

Nevermind. Brain fart.

[dr_sharp]

Looking good. Lapping the northbridge has given little to no improvement for me. I worked my SPI time down using the 4:5 divider that actually works in 0614. I think I can get to 12s after messing with memory timings. Now the real question: will I get to 4GHz.

[dr_sharp]

Last night I was checking my email and out of no-where, everything shut down. Reseting CMOS did nothing. I checked each stick of memory and they are both good. I believe my chip got KO'd.

I can therefore not recommend running these chips at 1.6V for 24/7 usage.
