wow that's an awesome chip. i don't think i've seen a linx stable chip at 5ghz. is this watercooling?

[Gameman]

to rajaja

what Vcore did you have to set in the H55M UD2H bios to get 4.5ghz and ??? stable???(for you old i3 530)

I don't mind if it's high because all this chip has to do is last a month or two so I can update the bios...

the real beauty will be next month...


Thanks mate

David

update: OOPS never mind found it...thanks

Thanks, yes that is on water. HT disabled though for 5ghz, temps get to high and would require more vcore.

Who cares about HT off OC Nub 5ghz is spectacular regardless!

Who cares

Show me another 5GHz 1156/1366 chip on water and then you can complain

You are making me miss my P55 setup. I honestly had more fun with it than my 1366.

+1

yeah who cares, its still a 5ghz linx stable chip, which i've never seen before. sure you can also get 5ghz stable with ln2 or dice, but no bencher waste resources for a stress test like this lol

[marvelous]

I have my i3 @ 4.2ghz. ha

[radaja]

got my new i3-530 vid 1.13v but so far not having any luck in the OC dept with my UD7

@OC Nubcan you post you bios setting for the UD7 for 200 bclk?
normally i can fire up every chip i get at 200 bclk with in about 5 min but
this new chip i cant even get it to boot at 200bclk on the ud7.

[OC Nub]

Hey radaja, I will install the board this weekend and see. I didnt save any settings, I had gone back to the UD6 because I had better luck with it. The UD7 did boot with higher bclk but seemed to be harder to get stable, at least for me.

Is this the first Clarkdale you have tried on the board? I had a heck of a time with it at first.

[radaja]

yea it the first clarkdale with the ud7.
EDIT-i did a fresh install and lowered my memory to 1200 and now have
no problem what so ever doing 20x200hell even with super low volts
i think my supertalent hypers dont like the ud7,i cant get them to run even at 1600 cl9
stable with the i3-530 unless i use massive amounts of vtt.very strange(or the IMC sucks big time)

[tool_462]

MIIIE and E655k coming for some fun with lots of radiator space and G. SKill Ripjaws

[radaja]

cool,looking forward to your 655K results.i think it will be the first one posted here

well heres my new chip at 4.0GHz.im still having trouble
with my memory at 1600 cl9 at 200bclk(needs a lot of vtt)

22x182@4004 w/1.18v bios 1.16v load DDR3-1456 cl9

Prime95 Blend 1hr 22m running


Prime95 Blend 1hr 22m stopped



here i just ran my memory with the x6 multiplier@1200
because of my 1600 problem.at 200bclk 4.0GHz needs
a slight bump in vcore.
20x200@4000 1.20v bios 1.16v load DDR3-1200 cl7

Prime95 Blend 1hr 20m running


Prime95 Blend 1hr 20 stopped

[tool_462]

Only thing that will hold me back I think is my lack of 2GB DDR3 kits, all I have are 4GB

[OC Nub]

Nice vcore radaja!

[OC Nub]

put the ud7 back in today radaja. these are my settings for 205bclk using 2:8 memory multiplier.

tried lowering the cpu pll to 1.60 and seems to be working ok. havent run linx on it with these settings but wprime 1024, pcmark 05, and hyper pi all pass fine. it was suggested to me that if these all pass why run linx on it, it should be plenty stable, idk but going to try this for a change. will try for 2:10 mem multiplier tonight and see if i can get it to work.

[OC Nub]

another try with higher bclk. et6 reads ref's wrong as usual.

[OC Nub]

another run at 225bclk, had to go up on vcore a bump or 2.



Uploaded with ImageShack.us

[OC Nub]

better run at 215bclk, lower timings and less vcore

[radaja]

thank you so much for all the SS's OC Nub,seems my IMC really does suck on this chip.
for 200bclk and memory at 1600 cl9 i need 1.36v.right now im trying 200/1600 cl8 and its failing
with 1.38v so i will keep working at it.im doing 18x200@3600 with vcore at 1.20v(more than needed)
to rule out the cpu and focus on the IMC.
by the way what kind of ram you running.im running the ST hypers,just wondering if the higher voltage ram
is causing my problems.

also if your running 1.66vdimm and set the ref's to 0.83v thats half,and thats what ET6 shows for half 0.750
so i think ET6 is showing it correctly.if you try setting it to 1.66v vdimm and ref at 0.84v it should the show
0.76 in ET6 i think.

[OC Nub]

Hey radaja, I am using the dominator gt 2000c8 right now. Still playing around with the board today, I am not sure what I was doing wrong before but had a hard time getting stable. Now it is running pretty good.
I guess setting the ref's manually to .830 is the same as leaving them at normal when using 1.66vdimm?

[radaja]

yes from what i understand.normal is half of vdimm,which will then show 0.75 in ET6.
do you know if running lower cas requires more vtt or is cas controlled only by vdimm?
i have been told confilcting info regarding this.i will test this today but just wondered
if your testing has come to any solid facts regarding this.right now im running
18x200@3600 ddr3-1600 cl8 with 1.36v vtt and 1.62v vdimm,priming now for 30m

also whats the fastest program for testing memory.(vtt and vdimm).i dont want to run hours of prime
to see what vtt is needed to be stable.is super PI 32m a quick decent test for vtt?or would linx be better?
im running on a 32b install of XP.

[OC Nub]

I am sick of blend and linx runs as well, so I have been running a bunch of other tests last night and today. It is nice to see something other than gflops and lucas lehmer iterations for a change, it may not pass blend or linx but it doesnt crash in vantage, 06, wprime 1024m, pcmark 05, pcmark vantage or y cruncher. Im not sure about the best program to use, but of these programs hyperpi is the hardest to pass for me.

In 32bit os linx will only allow 2gb to be tested, are you using a 4gb kit? I was able to pass all these at 205, 215, and 225bclk using 1.380vtt so I am not sure about needing more vtt for higher ram speeds. It may have needed less for 205bclk but I havent tried lowering it yet.

a picture of my messy rig. i give up on cable management, its a pita if you switch out hardware a lot.

[radaja]

thats what im thinking to for my situation(32b OS) concerning linx.but i have notice a lot a benchers
stating that they needed a certain amount of vtt to pass 32m super pi.so thats what im going to be trying
today to see if it is indeed a decent indicator(test) for finding optimum vtt voltage for certain cas and clocks

your pics look great.i have my WCing stuff setup so i can change boards quickly.the whole loop can be pulled
out of the case with out having to tear it down.
