QuadGT Arrived (56k warning)

[NinjaZX6R]

it stands to reason if you stress the memory controller hub with higher memory speed, you will most likely need higher vmch....NOW...how much all depends on your board, memory and cpu.

Guess I won't give up on my quad gt just yet then. Is the stock cooling enough for 1.6v mch though? I really don't want to burn anything up for a few extra mhz.

u might want to keep an eye on ur PWM temps. Those will hover around 100 during load at like 3.8.

some air cooling from a 40 mm fan will help a lot!

thank you very much for the link.

have you tried it?...is it any better?

[MADMAX22]

on the cooling i took the stock off and put as5 on the NB area

for the pwm area i cut the little plastic from teh corners and put the little black squares back on (if you take it off youllknow what im talking about) then i put as5 on the pwm guys and put everything back on

its alot cooler, my pwms didnt go above 60c with a 4.0ghz oc on it

A 40 mm fan? LOL! Check this:

1,55V, AS5 on NB and PWM + Nexus DF1209SL-3 (1500 RPMs) on the PWM and I have 47-50*C in IDLE. The room temp is normal, something like 22-25*C.

[Ace-a-Rue]

but of course...you have it in a case.

i am averaging 40-45C at idle in a case...without my fan tied to the PWM cooler, it would be in the 50's for a quad core...it does help...a 40 mm turning-blowing at 6.7k does help!...when i prime all 4 cores, you should see the temps double up...if it were not for the fan, they would be in the 125C category.

[426hemi]

I've spent about 4 hrs messing around with voltage settings in uguru to see what is limiting my oc. I gradually lowered a voltage at a time until the system would fail orthos. I found I was able to lower all my voltages but mch. At 470fsb I could not drop my mch below 1.6v or orthos would crash imediately. I may do a vmch mod or get a 6420 with 8x multi. Was hoping to hit 500fsb though, my cpu and ram can do it.

Well, of course... not in a case.

6700 RPM is to insane for me, sorry. I'm waiting a pair of 60 mm fans, with RPM in the 2000-3000 range. I want to see what double fan can do.

[Ace-a-Rue]

this 6.7k is not a screamer like the delta fans were...this is only 15 or 18 mm thick...but...it produces enough air flow to take the heat away.

any news on this new bios? what does it fix?

[Ace-a-Rue]

i tried the beta bios and it was the same results for me as far as overclocking (actually, 420 fsb was not as stable for me)...i had no other problems for me to be fixed.

[426hemi]

That's dissapointing No changes in memory area or vmch?

[Ace-a-Rue]

the memory seemed the same but that is for me...boards are different from owner to owner just like memory can be.

[bingo13]

The LAN issue is solved. I have a thread on it at the abit forums and will have another BIOS release in the near future that improves performance.

[LittleLaLa]

I would like to see those ram sub-timings appear in the coming BIOS

[Getttosmurf]

Me too only thing missing on this board imho

Here a 32Pi with standart cooling on NB with a Fan !

That's nice and the area I am looking to land in with an E6320. The quad GT supports the E6320, doesn't it?

[yotomeczek]

Did anybody try D9 Fatbody on QuadGT (2x1GB) ??
Is the Vdroop mod needed ?
Is the Vich and Vtt mod usefull ?

I used my fat body's on the Quad GT. I ran them up to 2.75v for fun.

Didn't get anything spectacular. I got up to about 520mhz at 4-3-2. Not too bad. Can't speak of the vdroop or anything though.

Is this a safe board to get for overclocking my e6300 with 4x 1gb corsair 6400c4?

LOL 2.7 thats fun way to go , didnt know those FAT bastard could it take suck a high voltage wow

[Blacklash]

I am a tad confused. Where have you fellows been applying Arctic Silver 5? The area under the copper heat sink in the picture below, or the area under the black plastic strip?



I have a QuadGT incoming for my E6320. I plan on using some AS5 or AS thermal adhesive on it as needed and wanted to clear up the exact problem area.
