new toys: 1090t (4.25ghz blend stable), chIVformula, supertalent hypers, g.skill SSD

[Barr3l Rid3r]

This is what I got for now, needs an unlocked cpu now to enjoy the benefits of hypers

[crazydiamond]

thx luc1f3r & barr3l rid3r

nice settings barr3l. might be able to squeeze a little more out of cpu w/ some high rpm fans on true what cooler do you use for your 5850? also for your ram,, for now w/ those mhz you might want to try to tighten the timings up, 6.5.6 or maybe 6.5.5 if they can. might make up a little bit for having to use that divider & keeping cas 6

[BeepBeep2]

Yep, I'm able to do ~720 on 5-5-5 on my Hypers. 5-6-5 tops around 780.

[crazydiamond]

you get everything for you loop yet beep?

[BeepBeep2]

Yep. It's hard for my smallish hands to get 7/16in ID over 1/2in OD Barbs though. :P

The bad thing is I'm still waiting on the ASUS motherboard.
I might go ahead and stick the gigabyte in because I'm leaving for two weeks this weekend and if the ASUS board comes tomorrow I still won't be able to install it. I'm eager, but trying to make sure all is right.

[crazydiamond]

yes definately take your time. make sure all your barbs are tight, they can come a little loose when trying to get the tubing on. what i find helps for putting the tubing on is once you get it just over the tip of the barb kind of hold the tubing an inch or 2 in front of the barb when your trying to push it on so the tubing between your fingers & where its touching the barb will kind of expand when you push on it, and you can kind of move it back and forth a little bit to help it on. like think if you push on 2 opposite sides of a balloon, the diameter between your hands expands. well same concept for the tubing but the barb is acting as your other hand,,,, and the tubing isnt quite as soft as a balloon xD hope that made sense, it is a little hard to get the tubing on, but i think its worth the ease of mind knowing w/ clamps it shouldnt go anywhere

this is it:

Yes actually mem is at 775mhz 6-6-5-16-20 1.62v now, the fan is already a High rpm silverstone, but i keep it in 1800rpm for silence. I can bench at 4275mhz w/ it and 1.52v w/out problem.

[crazydiamond]

to warm in here to bench today so got my ssd mounted instead

[crazydiamond]

1736mhz (cpuz lil off during screen) 6.6.6 memtest stable

Hey that looks sweet, is that the first time you using ssd? how do you like the speed? Im thinking about getting one soon but it has to be 100gb so I can have a few games on it. Been taking advantage of the system and doing alot of gaming lately I bought the 1090T off my brother he never got the mobo and couldnt return it so he gave it to me for $200

Have you done any gaming yet or only benching?

[crazydiamond]

spi 32m
supertalents @ 1790mhz - 6.6.6 - 1.735vdimm

[BeepBeep2]

Alright now I'm wondering what kind of "voodoo" you are using for those clocks :P
I can't get 1766 6-6-6-18 stable on my M4A89TD or my 890GPA-UD3H without 1.75v

I'm on the release BIOS for the M4A89TD Pro/USB3 with buggy HT flux but it's better with the CPU at 4014 stable at 1.536.

Your looking at 1800 6-6-6-18 32M stable with 1.75v

thanks titan ive been using the ssd for over a month now. it is great, definitely one of the best upgrades for 24/7 rig like we have because you can actually notice a difference, unlike dropping $200 to go from 1700c7 to 1700c6 or something lol. i would keep an eye out around the oc forums for a used one, sometimes you can even find like a new one unused for great deal. i dont really play much games except for UT3 which doesnt really notice much of a difference going from x4-x6. i need another 5850 for 1900x1200 full AA & AF, too many crazy low dips when a lot of action going on oh and i promise i will try to run vantage for you soon figure cpu speed somewhere between cinebench (4370) and 3dm06 (4407) w/ 5850 over 1020mhz core (3dm06 did 1020mhz, vantage can go higher )

[BeepBeep2]

I have to say that the Intel X25-V I recieved is supurb for 24/7. These can be had for $110...
I get boot times around 18 seconds (I type in a password)...(I had about 30 in shortstroked RAID 0)

40GB is actually plenty for the OS and a few programs/games. A clean install will take up 9.5-10GB.

As for the sucky write performance even installing programs is not sluggish and writing is what my "data" disks are for...1.2TB of RAID 0 storage @ 210 MB/s.

[Tomasis]

ssd is really awesome.. been using Crucial M225 over one year. better upgrade than going from X2 Athlon to Phenom II .. nah but almost

3 things I need or want to do is SSD better screen for 1080P (im at 1680x1050) and putting this 5970 under water.

Ill check out the FS section now and then for an SSD. i bet its night and day, just looking at the performance numbers make me think it has to be at least 2-3 times faster than my current HD

I have a 125gig partition I use for my os/5-6 games and benching proggies.....it takes up 70 gigs and thats when its clean, If I neglect it for 2-3 weeks it can go into the 90-100gig range. I definitly need something like 100gigs.......still never had a TB if storage yet

games a getting way too bloated it's 8gbs-20Gbs for one game :o

I'm only using a 250gbs hard drive (232gbs really) though this older chip( phenom x4 9850 BE) seems to make my hard drive just dead stop ???? my mouse still works on screen but I can't click on anything.
I'm thinking that SSD raid would be my next upgrade, I should have a 1090T tomorrow, I needed AM3 chip to upgrade later might as well go with it for now.

although weren't there problems with SSD and raid with sb850 ?

[Tomasis]

i'd love trim raid support for amd. i wonder how long time it'll take

[Leeghoofd]

I got a mail concerning the new 0905 CH IV bios ( spamming this in all CH IV related threads )

1.Vcore graph via ROG Connect:

In case a fluctuation of CPU Vcore is observed plz check the following :
- Intel EIST / C1E / C-State / Intel® TurboMode Tech is enabled in BIOS.
- AMD C’n’Q / C1E / TurboCore is enabled in BIOS.
- Load-Line Calibration has not been enabled in BIOS

If any of these is enabled you will encounter Vcore fluctuation...

DDRIII-2000+ support under AMD platform:

Up to 4x DDRIII-2000+ modules can be supported under the AMD models with the 0905 BIOS :
- The use of Thuban processors. (well you still need a good IMC Thuban CPU to achieve this)
- The use of the latest BIOS dating from at least the 22/06/2010 (this counts for M4A89 series and Crosshair IV Formula)
- Ensure you start to load DIMM modules from the black slots if you are not intending to load all four DIMM slots with DRAM.

[crazydiamond]

let it prime for awhile while i picked up the house today. checking for lowest vcore for 4.2ghz..

4213mhz - 1.464v load - win7 64bit - 74f ambients - water in sig

[crazydiamond]

some more prime today, shooting for lowest vcore @ 4ghz

4ghz - 1.344v load - win7 64bit - 73f ambients - water in sig

[Zeus]

Nice low voltage cpu man!

[crazydiamond]

yes i was pretty impressed my 965c3 only did between 3.6 & 3.7ghz @ this vcore

[Tomasis]

thats very good cpu. im impressed. for me to make 4ghz stable 955c3 takes 1,44v but that is 6 cores.. what volt for your cpu-nb?

[crazydiamond]

1.27v in bios, but can probably come down a little because its stable over 2800mhz w/ that cpu-nb volts. one day, after i learn more about the cores i will shift to learning minimum volts for all my cpu-nb speeds
