[TheWolf]

man!...you must be the guy who is updating abit's bios page. ..so defensive!

Nope but I could be, but I stiill can't see why some would wine about starting at A & going to Z, like its going to kill you to look down a list a little ways.

fixed the link for you

I've come to question the temps of the air clocking guys who are hitting high OCs. I've got a PA120.3, a lapped IHS, and a DDC-2 with petras top JUST for my quad. I STILL hit the mid 60s range when pushing the volts. So either they have the greatest quads around, or my quad is a reconditioned space heater

how much vcore are you talking about?

WOOT! WOOT...NICE!

[sdumper]

DL Orthos unpak in a folder, then make a second folder & unpak a sceond copy. Place a Icon on the desk top for each "if you like" open both. Now before starting each open task manager locate ORTHOS right click on it & go to Set Affinity, click, you will see the second pic. below, uncheck CPU1 & CPU3 click ok, then do the same with the other run of ORTHOS but this time uncheck CPU0 & CPU2. Close task mgr & start one run & wait about 5 second for it to start working & then start the second run. That's it.

Awesome thanks man!!!

[sdumper]

For how long?

[DFI pit bull]

Thanks Wingz.
I think i'll host on my brothers website from now on.
I really love this new chip, have had it at 4.52 ghz but did'nt get a screenshot.

[no_n|ck]

just started playing with mine, batch L726A951
1h prime shot @ 3800 /1.5 (1.53 set in bios)

[Gunlance]

how much vcore are you talking about?

At roughly 1.52 in bios(1.45v - 1.46v in windows under load) I'm hitting 63 on hottest cores and 61 on the other 2.

Can someone with a quad clocked to to 3.6ghz using 9x400 with 1:1 memory do me a favor and post up a superpi mod 1m time? I wanna see if it really is a strap issue with the quad gt. If it is I'll be lookin for a new mobo to get this thing higher with less vcore.

[Nater]

I just got my Abit IP35-Pro and started out of the gate 600MHz higher than my P5N32-E SLI was capable of. I just had a single worker thread in Prime95 go down, but the rest are running strong in an in place test. Anyone know what that could mean?

[[XC] 4X4N]

It means you are not stable. Probably need to bump up the vcore a little.

EDIT: Gunlance, here is a quick 1m for ya Also, a prime shot for temps. Ambient is around 78.

[Gunlance]

^^ Thanks.

[G H Z]

Here's mine.....8 hour shot

Swifty watercooled.

I can do that too....but I'm not going to for 8 hours

1.525V BIOS set
Blend

i'm a little surprised that you need that much vcore for 3.6 Ghz overclock...i'm at 3.8Ghz and only using 1.45v actual vcore at idle conditions...mine drops down to about 1.41v under load

what kind of cooler are you using?

I probably don't. I am a 3D bencher, this is the first time I've run Prime in years and didn't bother to check for lowest passable vcore. This test was to check the capacity of this loop and if you ask me it's very good for a quiet setup - 6" x 8" heatercore with two 53CFM 120mm fans non-ducted.

the difference could be that i run everest stability stress program and that puts all four cores to 100% while stressing FPU, Cache and system memory...if it passes with that, i am happy.

Post your results and we'll compare

[fornowagain]

Blend isn't going to push it that hard. Try small ffts, that'll warm it up some.

This is on the DFI P965-S. (you didn't specify chipset). I just ran this for your request. I can't run prime95 at this voltage without going past 70C.

[lithpiperpilot]

I'm been playing around with mine some, a L721A814 G0.

I'm at 3.3Ghz ( 366 X 9) Memory at 549Mhz 5-4-4-12.



It also feels like I have a good 200-300 mhz left on my current set up, maybe up to 3.6-3.7 24/7 stable after I lap my tuniq tower.

My 8hr run was small fft's for max. heat load.....

[TheMiracle]

Hey!
anyone here with a 680i and Q6600? I upgraded my bios to P30, and intead of stabilize my system, it did worst, now, I can not boot vista, if im at 2800, the best i can do is 2700, before i flash my bios, I was at 3400 at 1.45 on bios, and the system rebooted after 10 minutes of Prime on all 4 cores!
Any Help appreciated
PS: could it be the PSU? I have a 550W (2x12v - 20A)
Thanks!

THANKS!

That vcore being reported is that in bios or under load? (1.45v)

Thanks again.

[GripS]

BIOS. Load is 1.42-1.43.

[blindfitter]

My does she Goooooo L719B271 1.43vcore No tweaks yet, just put her in and let her rip, more to come

[GripS]

Wow! Can you post the same screenshot where it show's correct voltage? Cooling?

If true it's definitely very impressive running on P965 chipset.

[DFI pit bull]

Today I pushed it further
