790i ULTRA SLI + E8500 + kingpin F1 EE + Corsair Dominators + LN2 = 5.7GHz benchmarks

[Insane_Tech]

you are right

an old friend of mine i no longer talk to used to come over and show me how to do this stuff

shiny=good
the one i do it=bad

Well it's not bad at all, but the wire could detach very easily

Anyway if this is your first try you did an excellent job, and most important, you didn't kill nothing

GREAT SUCCESS!!!

[Insane_Tech]

That's the best thing, and i'm sure that with just a little of experience you'll do excellent jobs

By the way, congratulations for the other scores, very very nice

A friend of mine who solder rollbar for rally cars teached me something and the cause of the "roughly" aspect of the soldering is just because it's cold; if you warm up the component, and then you put some stain on it, you just have to put the wire, and touch the stain, that will flow on the wire.
If you are fast and the stain stay hot the solder point will become shiny and smooth, even without the fluxe

That is how my friend explained to me, but i always do that, and the results are very good

soldering a rollbar? perhaps you mean welding. either way, yes, soldering without flux is easily accomplished with a good iron and proper temperature but with lead free solder that all these cards are built with and a cheapy 15w~20w iron, it is much harder to get a good joint because lead free needs so much more heat to flow. the flux really helps.

also, what do you mean by 'stain'?

[dinos22]

stain >> have a look at my solder point
has that dirty look
my friend also refers to it as stained/dirty look hehe

I looked everywhere in my BIOS and couldn't find the P1 or P2 setting.

Was this in a Beta Bios?

[dinos22]

lol what's with bold letters

P1 and P2 are in nvidia beta bios P03 dated on 14th March

evga boards don't take this bios i have so you'll have to be patient and wait for a bios update

[WhiteFireDragon]

WOW those are crazy numbers. when people cant get above 4.5ghz stable, would u blame it on the mobo, cooling, or vcore? if u were to just water cool it with everything else the same, how high do u think u would get instead?

[vagos]

Did you noticed cold boot?

[dinos22]

Did you noticed cold boot?

no cold boot

only issue i had was with overtightening the board and i did experience overall cold bug around -60/-70 loaded on core

but once i loosened the mount -115C was ok

the thing is i was able to bench this CPU at -130C on P5B DLX so i am not 100% happy with this as that will cost me in OC

but maybe i have to play some more with mounting to improve it more lol

[dinos22]

Anyone any good suggestions for quick testing of the on board water blocks before I installed mobo fully?

Cheers in advance

Too small signature dont you think?

Fit Thermalright 120 extreme in eVga 790i Ultra?

Thanks so much!

[SergeRY]

(a belated) n1 dinos! thanks for the in depth p1/p2 analysis - just started playing with these too. Big Change!! Great board, any thoughts of extreme cooling/ volt mod to spp for even higher fsb??? I kinda am looking in this direction

Fit Thermalright 120 extreme in eVga 790i Ultra?

Thanks so much!

not without trimming it you can finagle it if you are persistent.

[dinos22]

hey guys

there are a couple of capacitors on the back of the mobo as spotted by a few ppl and alerted by 3oh6

make sure you have enough soft cushioning to not crush them

i am running bios 0507 as my original that came with board was 0402.

I am using 4x1gb sticks of corsair XMS3 DHX 1333 PARTNO. twin3x2048-1333c9dhx (2X1 gb Packs)

i have the q6600 go/slacr with tuniq tower

and an 8800 xfx ultra extreme (2nd on the way for sli)

I am using the following:

At the minute it's set to what it calls 1350MHz, but I think everyone else would call 337.5, multiplier is 9X.

Vcore @ 1.38V

I have tried all the way up to 1.5 and still no joy.

I have also gone up to 1.6 for NB and SB core and still nothing even had a play with CPU PLL @ 1.6 and CPU VTT @ 1.4 and still nothing.

I even managed at some point to get into windows with 3.5mhz but that was after i changed my memory timings to T2 instead of T1 and my memory is suppose to be 9-9-9-24 v1.5 ?

So am i right that it may be the memory? i thought corsair XMS were good or are they crap.

Really frustrated as i could easily get 3.4 - 3.6 on the abit iproo35 with the same q6600 which i lapped and on the striker II getting temps of 47 on load in prime95 when running at 3.0mhz.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated

[dinos22]

run your tRFC very high and see if it changes anything

[franco_cov]

Hi, thx for your reply but where is the tRFC?

I only have the following :-

tCL, tRCD, tRP, tRAS, tRRD, tRC, tWR, tWTR, tFAW, tREF??

I urgently await your reply

[dinos22]
