Project "XETM" - Worklog (56k Warning)

[Patriote]

looking good mate... nice work on all that cable sleeving... i was reading your guide on how to sleeve cable's earlier today... good stuff!! i'm going to sleeve all my fan's pump's etc....

do you know where i can get a good de-pinning tool kit??

Thanks How did you found the guide?

Well, for 3pin fans, i use a paper fold and for 4pin molex, i use a blade Works well. Since you live in Australia, i really doubt I know of any retailers for you...Heh! But looks for "sleeving tool kits"

Now, I'm having some serious Overclocking issues! I must of booted and restarted hundreds of times yesterday night. Can't seem to boot into windows with 3.3Ghz... It's not related to the FSB since i am able to boot @ 8x CPU multi and 1600FSB. I give the CPU 1.45v for a miserable 3.3Ghz... Something is wrong... More tweaking is required i think...

maybe it's just a bad CPU, but I don't think you're THAT lucky, lol, don't know what could it be, it should go more with a bit more voltage, no special tweaking at such low freqs, RMA it cause it doesn't clock good enough

[turtletrax]

Hey Patriote.

Try turning the HT link voltage to 1.6v and lower MCP/SPP links down to 4X. Also mess with unlined and linked memory speeds. Also there are FSB holes on the 680i, so upping FSB past the point you are stuck.

Also what MCP chip does the board have? It will either be the 570 or 590.

Hope this isnt another stumbling block...

[Patriote]

Thanks guys. Well, just played with it, disabled this, upped this, changed this and voila :



Getting somewhere

More testing\Tweaking to come...Heh!

PS: Thats 3.5Ghz

OH good ol shazza linked me to them

What temp's are you getting @ 3.5ghz???

also have you done the v-drop-v-droop pencil mod for that mobo of your's??

will help alot... it did for me...

[Patriote]

Glad to know that my guide is helping ppls

Here is what i been working on :



BTW: Yeah, i did the vdroop mod! 1.432v IDLE and 1.44v LOAD

Well, it seems that i can't get any higher than 3.5Ghz with that CPU. Last month, i hooked that Q6600 G0 on watercooling on my P5B Deluxe and i couldn't get 3.5Ghz Stable during Prime95 and it would require extremely high voltage just for booting into windows @ 3.6Ghz... Like 1.43v for 3.5Ghz stable and 1.5v just to boot into windows @ 3.6Ghz. I even tried 1.53v and it would still fail during Prime95... Over such voltage and it's completely useless... But i thought it was because i was using that P5B Deluxe and i thought "If i get a Quad core supported mobo such as that EVGA 680I A1" i would be able to go higher but it seems that it's not the case... So, the CPU is limiting the Oc.

The same exact thing is happening. I can do 389x9=3.5Ghz or 438x8=3.5Ghz but really can't do 400x9=3.6Ghz whatever vcore i give the CPU...

I'm stuck here. What do you guys think i should do? Run an E6600 that can do 3.7-3.8Ghz with that system or run a Q6600 @ 3.5Ghz?

There is that QX6850 ES That does 4.1Ghz on watercooling on sale on some forum. I am very tempted

[disruptfam]

stick with your quad @ 3.5ghz !!!

[Patriote]

Well, really, 3.5Ghz is GAY GAY! It almost makes me think that if I'm to be stuck @ 3.5Ghz, why would i need watercooling

[disruptfam]

what's the diff between having a quad @ 3.5ghz and 4ghz besides bragging rights??

I don't know of many games that take advantage of raw cpu clock speed...

Maybe getting them gtx's to run faster you need a higher clocked cpu so they wouldn't bottleneck???

Unless you after high benchmarking score's i wouldn't worry 2much...but if you have that much money left to burn go it for it....

Why not just wait for the q9450?

I could only get my b3 to 3.4ghz and i was happy...

up 2 u dude... it's your pc...

You got it all right! Need more CPU power to run SLI... Let me see what 3Dmark06 score i get with that 3.5Ghz Q6600 Go, 1000Mhz on 4GB of Ram.

try another G0 chip... that's pretty low for G0 maybe got a bad cpu???

[turtletrax]

If you want to get rid of your G0 Quad for cheap let me know I need one for my HTPC

Sucks that your chip isnt co-opertating. It is the same date code as my 4Ghz'er is it not? You should be able to get more out of it under watercooling. Worth a shot I would say.

[Patriote]

Thats what i said here above m8!

Here is what i got with the Q6600 @ 3.5Ghz, 4GB of RAM running @ 1000Mhz 5-5-5-15 2T 2.05v



Not bad @ all but I'm looking for more, as always!

On a side note,

Update! November 06-2007

Today i went out to get my new Mouse and barbs since the keyboard wasn't with the package. It seems that those _____ have shipped my stuff from 2 different warehouse and now I'm waiting for the keyboard.





Barbs hooked onto PA120.2



Only prob with those barbs is that the ID is smaller... The barbs are basically built (Apparently) for 7/16" ID 5/8" OD Tubing... But it'll be good for my Tygon 1/2" ID 3/4" OD tubing if i make sure that it's well clamped...

Well, like i said above m8, i tried it on my P5B Deluxe last month and it was indeed under water and even with 1.53v real i would fail during Prime95... Now it's doing the same on that new mobo on air tho.

I see by looking at the picture (sticker void on the barbs), that you are a NCIX customer Not paying QST (TVQ), bad,bad ...

How's the G9 ? Any good ?

[Patriote]

@ Voltaire2030

Ouais

So far, god i love that mouse. Really. I'm impressed!

PS: Could you edit your post so that my pics don't show up in your quote please?

[disruptfam]

just looking through your thread again... didn't realize how sexy those ek fc gfx wb's are..... (can't wait to get mine)

Also didn't realize we had the same ram until you pointed it out... lol (maybe cuz there were no pic's of it)

[Ghost326267]

Hey Patriote what fans are those blue led fans you are using?

[marauder16]

too bad for that quad, I think you should test the scores with the E6600 at 3.8GHz and compare them with your G0, then see if E6600 wins by a small margin, take the G0, if it wins by quite more, use the E6600.
oh, and also you can try upping the FSB from 3.5GHz one (1) step at the time and see where it doesn't want to go more HTH

[Patriote]

Those are Yate Loons UV Blue Fans - Medium speed

I could do that But I kinda am too impatient recently... Heh

On a side note, I'm looking forward to a guy's QX6800 test (Next week) before i buy it tho!

[Patriote]

Update! November 08-2007

Well, things have a bit changed in here. I have ordered 17ft of Tygon 7/16" ID 5/8" OD R-3603 Tubing because i have decided to use smaller tubing instead of that thick 1/2" ID 3/4" OD Tygon i have home. Yes ppls, that will make close to 60ft of freaking Tubing I'll have home...

I also order one of those Nozzles accelerator kit for my FuZion. All from Jab-Tech Love Jab-Tech...

So as soon as my new QX6800ES G0 (Hint hint http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=152228) arrives, i will loop everything together! This Project has been waiting way too long now...

So thats about it ppls!

On a side note, here are 2 pics of what my current set-up looks like :





Still, quite impressive IMO!

[Vice]

Dude, I am in love with those cables from that Ultra PSU!!!

... and all this hardware pron you're posting.. keep it up!

Thanks man! Yeah, that PSU is major kick @ss! I get 12.14v IDLE and 12.09v Under load on the 12v rail!

Looks like my perfect future PSU...

[tylerdustin2008]

Looking damn good.

Can't wait till I get my damn license, So I can work and rebuild my computer.
