Asus/NCIX Competiton Entry - dejanh

Hey, nice to see you around

Take a look at the screenshot below It is a short LinX run with my cooling but it holds up just as well under extended testing. LinX gets the temps the hottest though. This was done with 17C ambients and a source of fresh air for the fans. During my daily use the temps never exceed 56C on the hottest core with fans on silent. That's quite good for an i7 running at 4.2GHz

Now, a question re: memory. Did you clock the GTR sticks on the i7 to 2.3GHz? What timings did you use? Stability is not an issue really, just pure performance in MHz That seems very impressive indeed. I wonder if their new HCF0s clock the same when you juice them up a bit past 1.65V or if they fizzle like some other out there...HCF0s should do well with higher voltages. Did you get a chance to test these? Also, where did you buy your GTR sticks? I don't know any retailers near me that carry these...

Hi,

Very good temps, I'm amazed that it can keep up with the heat load, with HT on right?

I use a chiller to cool all my components but I never run it below 12Cº to avoid condensation.

As for the mem speed I MADE A MISTAKE I clocked 6Gb at 2.230 BCLK160 BIOS 1104 - NOT AT 2.300, SORRY this was with timings on Auto 9-9-9-24.
I booted 2 times to Vista64, no stability check. I'm not a dedicated overclocker, I just mess around from time to time. 99.9% of time I run 12Gb without pagefile, only every now & then with a new BIOS release I take out 6gb & try to see how far I can clock it.

My only "goal" at the moment is to reach around 1800 with 12Gb, but now that I've installed an Adaptec 5805 RAID card it takes about 2 minutes after each reboot to start loading OS or to get into BIOS because of the RAID card eternal POST, so my tinckering with BIOS is kept to a minimum.

I bought these sticks at HPM-Computer.de after asking CSX (Mr. Heinrich) for a tailor made 12Gb set D9GTR which they later sent on to HPM under my name. I originally used 8Gb for my previous Striker II Extreme & kept the other 4Gb until X58 came out. I havent tried the HCF0 from CSX, what I really want to try are the ADATA 2133 sticks at 1.50.

In the US CSX parts are distributed by Tankguys.com

EDIT: Sorry again for my previous mistake
