WTF is that?

[bullet2urbrain]

In for some of the DDTUNG's Masterful Vmod Skills.

Can't wait,

Glad it reached you safely Mr. Victor

As for XS DC: Always Proud to be with you guys

Victor, I retract my preivious statement LOL You might also want to do the MCH mod so you have give your north bridge some volts. With this conroe setups in order to hit certain high fsb's you will need to pump some volts into your northbridge... The mod is in one of the pics in my last post.

Also, with the badaxe you can choose different fsb straps. I would stick with the 1066 strap with a higher fsb... The reason, is the chipsets internal timings will stay tighter while using the 1066 strap than they will when using the 1333.. They automatically loosen to adjust for a higher fsb while using the 1333 strap. So most people are booting with the 1066 strap and using clockgen to get the clocks up. You will notice faster superpi times among other stuff. I hope this helps If you want to read up on the difference between the 1066 strap and the 1333 here is a great thread from Tony.... His thread is based on the i965 chiipset but it pertains to the i975 as well...

With the exception that you might have to tester wether running ram at 1:1 or any other divider is faster for you.
1:1 is faster on my setup, but that warries quite a lot.

[Movieman]

With you guys to call on and his experience, this sucker has to be a winner!
Now why didn't we get a G80 to go with this!

[Fr3ak]

We could have if you didnt say shipping costs are 600$

C'mon..actually shipping wasn't that bad considering it was 12lbs best service 1/2 way around the world.

If I do the Vmch mod I might as well do the Vfsb and High Vcore mods and go for broke. And I thought this was going to be a 24/7 cruncher.

DDTUNG

24/7 cruncher? maybe a 13 sec SP1M? 3DMark06 in the( ignorance showing of current numbers) whatever range!
Or maybe tucked in a Lian Li V1000 on your desk for email and surfing XS!
Aslo thought of the perfect name for it: NewsBeater

Congrats DDT, since I am kinda new; what are the specs on this? Just like everyone else, I would love to see pics, I have got to plan out my next rig.

[DDTUNG]

I am also wondering why you guys picked the GT1000 HSF over the TTBT or the Zelman 9500.

Blame Movieman. Anything goes wrong blame Dave....

On a side note and WAY Off Topic, you might want to consider your sig there big man. Although i realise the Crunch3r sig is from our days at Rosetta, i think we all decided that Optys are a no go for WCG. So what I'm really saying is, some nOOb, like DogRat et al on WCG forums might start a thread saying "XS's biggest cruncher is optimized... look here [Link to DDTUNGS sig]" even though you're not really running optimized files.

Congratz DDTUNG

This is just a small token of our appreciation

Good to hear everything went smoothly

[Fr3ak]

The main intention was to get you a nice new toy to play around with a bit and after that use it as cruncher.
The HSF was a donation and we didnt plan to buy it in the first place.
Of course a BT or Infinity has a sligthly better performance, but that doesnt matter that much for a cruncher.

DDTUNG

Ahh, The heatsink. That was a donation from one of Jose's buddies.
Yes, not a BT or Scythe but it looked pretty decent to me.
I looked it up on the web and it looks like it will have decent performance.
Remember my note, this little project sort of took off on itself.
There's a lot of people out there that when they heard this was for you just wanted to be involved.

About the Heat Sink:

I was talking with a friend about the whole project. Aside: Victor these guys are nuts. Let's say had it not been for some rational voices (Dave ) you probably would have gotten a Cray . But I digress.

My friend, caught the bug: after he read about you and the project, he asked me if we could use a Heat Sink since he got an extra one that was lying in his house unopened.

I checked and found that HS would fit the CPU and asked Dave if the HS was good: Dave, said it was nice one.

I also read some ratings and people like it. [ LOL for all I knew, it looked like a sex toy Aside : My friend's GF said a HS of that size could be used for some sexy things.]

My friend told me the HS has higher ratings than most of the HS that could fit the CPU. I took his word, the ratings and Dave's comments.

Also and I am honest here : It was free. I was told that an Xtreme Systems member's first obligation to the team is to grab free computer parts parts and then ask the questions of who can use it and how it can be used.

Victor, I assumed that if you couldn't use it for the cruncher in question , you could do some creative stuff with it.

So it was accept horse first and check teeth next

My friend parted with it and was very happy in joining the group in preparing the gift for you.

All I hope is that my small participation in this project yields a monster cruncher in your hands.

Victor, without meeting you personally : I have come to appreciate your integrity , your dedication to a group and from what I have read your monster abilities as an overclocker.

All I wanted to say was: Man, we at XS are glad we have you among us. I , a small cog of XS ,am proud to have you as a teammate and compadre.

Okies: I just got misty eyed

[VictorWang]

@.@ Dave guide me into this... but..don't know what are u planning to do.
mod badaxe or badaxe2 ?
u need vMCH mod or ... someother mod like bios feature or something ?
if I can help plz tell, I think I can talk with another Victor in Chinese
am I right ?

[v0dka]

That is gonna make one hell of a nice team then lol

And good post there Jose

[Fr3ak]

I think Victor has already done all mods

Thanks. Vcore, Vdimm, Vmch, debug mods all done.

Would appreciate your recommendation of best bios revision to use.

[[XC]Atomicpineapple]

1304 and latter allow up to 1333+50% FSB, all others previous to 1304 only allow +30%. With 1304 and an unmodded board (cept the debug mod, which doesnt really count ) I could get to about 430MHz. I dont think theres been a big difference in overclockability between the BIOSes so I'd go for 1304.

[DDTUNG]

The rig is in Windows comfortably over 4G, but not benchable yet. Have to do some more tweaking to get it 24/7 stable.

DDTUNG

[Charles Wirth]

I was running with phase at 4.2Ghz 24/7 stable and benched at 4.6Ghz on that board.

Are you 220v there?

thats a good week 6700, thought it might do 4100 on air, and I'd guess that with the British influence that HK is 220V.

[DDTUNG]

Yes we are 220V, Charles.

The 6700 needs 1.55V to run Windows above 4G, probably 1.6V+ to be benchable, on air. So I guess good weeks do produce average chips.

Unless this Intel noob is missing something here.

Maybe after the return, they rejected their reality.
