Overclock bonanza: 8GB of Corsair Dominators; 4GB OCZ kit; XFX680i; Nautilus500 W.C.

Thanks for the kind words Dinos.

I'm expecting a PC2-10000 kit from Corsair pretty soon, so I'll see if I can best your numbers on my 680i.

[dinos22]

WOW wonderfulll.....
Which of thoso RAM is better to my Q6600 which is on a COMANDO P965

thanks it really depends how much money you want to spend i guess and whether you are going with 2GB or 4GB.................there is a lot of choice out there........and RAM is pretty cheap now................

Nice testing, pics and ram. Have fun

Good stuff dinos

Actually it feels good to see that there are more people in my situation ( having lots of stuff on the bench to review )

Keep 'em coming m8

Nice combination you got there m8

cheers looking forward to it buddy

did some more tests with Corsair Nautilus 500 watercooling kit

this time with a new CPU i got L629F122 E6600















4GHz 1M, 8M & 32M SuperPI

[Hutch]

cheers mate

hey question when you did the water filling to the res did you have the Nautilus connected to the PSU and boot your whole system or did you jump the PSU for the fill?

how long did it take for the coolant to start circulating through the tubing for you

I poured some in before I started anything. You gotta raise the rad/res about a foot higher than the block. Once first tube was filled and the reservoir i started the system up. I kept pouring the distilled water while it was running (it was definately circulating right away) until it was full.

Here's a SS from a little fun I was having this winter... the voltage shown in cpu-z was correct and this was on my nautilus 500... Clocks were limited by my board/ram. The vcore was 1.475V in bios

[dinos22]

nice man

[Hutch]

Yea Ambient temps were real hot too... from what I remember it was around -15C out and I had my window wide open for about an hour. The hoses were completely stiff but somehow still flowing fine!

[dinos22]

well got a small update to report

i benched my SS yesterday and found that my Gigabyte P35-DS3P was clocking these dominators higher and better than 680i

dominators are binned for 680i as far as i know and they don't always run past 600MHz on intel chipsets....no matter the latency


how's this for good

639MHz 4-5-4-8 @2.56v loaded 32M SuperPi
(with gigabyte bios memory settings on Extreme settings & tight subtimings)





678Mhz 5-5-5-15 2.52v loaded 1M SuperPi (also did 689Mhz 1M with 2.62v but no screenshots lol)




i don't know what gigabyte are doing here but damn this is crazy lol

best part is this is NOT my best kit either ^^^^^

[antari]

Nice result

How much does that looser tRCD help you on CAS 4?

[dinos22]

~50Mhz

[dinos22]

this RAM is on fire

check out this monster chip E6850 on my single stage at 4.9GHz 32M

nice time too i think

[Yellowbeard]

Screaming Dinos!

[saaya]

yeah, very nice results dinos
nice xmp profile? lol

[dinos22]

Screaming Dinos!

thanks

yeah, very nice results dinos
nice xmp profile? lol

what's this "xmp profile" you refer to

[Yellowbeard]

XMP, Xtreme Memory Profile = Intel's version of EPP. I don't think we are shipping anything with it yet. I'll ask.

[saaya]

ah i meant epp, not xmp, 625 is not bad

[Nordling]

600 4-3-3-

[Yellowbeard]

XMP should be interesting. I am wondering what the word "extreme" means to Intel.

[dinos22]

it Otellini's comment to Fugger is anything to go by *call me when you hit 6GHz * we are in for a treat

[Yellowbeard]

6 jiggamuhertz IS extreme, extremely extreme in fact.
