try the new F8e, came out today.

Well I tried to do some testing last night but it is hard to run the big clocks and keep the temps under control... seems like when they start reaching into the eighties I have problems with things locking up. HT of course was generating too much heat but I was able to run WPrime 4C/4T. (Cooling with Megahalems)

Verry nice clock Especially when cooled with megahalems instead of water or sometning What fans are you use ?

I should try here something like that even if i am with 920 and lower multiplier...

Regards.

[andressergio]

sup guys

well my patience arrived to an end im forced to use the onboard audio and since that im having nice nice BSODS, lockups listening mp3's and playing games, my OC i posted here its very stable...

i retested OC and passed all...so i decided to take out realtek drivers and problem gone...same if i disable onboard audio...tested again and crap came again...to i let windows use the driver he has...

today as i posted above i moved to F7e version BIOS and again problem came...played some mins on MOH and prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr sound looped and freeze...then with other game (VGA at stock), so i shoot a memtest and its over 400% now...

i think there's some real thing going with realtek card onboard, i have a friend with X58A rev 1 same problem, another with X58 UD3R same, and 2 more with rev X58A 1.0

any suggestions are wellcome

cheers all
Sergio

Thanks...

I normally run much milder clocks with a lower speed fan for daily use but for that bench I used a Scythe DFS123812H-3000 in push... I also may have had the lower speed fan leaning on the other side in pull as well but I can't remember exactly.

edit: I have a 920 that runs very hot and I can't control the temps on it (w/air) even at 4.5.

Nice low voltages for 4600.

Congrats, nice job.

Hey Can i improve this ... SOME HELP ... on air

[dejo]

here is a load run from a while back on my ud3. cooling was dry ice

[PolRoger]

Hey Can i improve this ... SOME HELP ... on air

What kind of temps and vtt for that bench?

here is a load run from a while back on my ud3. cooling was dry ice

Going cold... looks like it would be fun.

[pr@$r1g]

Its on air inside a case & temps are around 88-92 & VTT was 1.55v in bios

Already benched 3dmark99 & 2000 @ 4.715 on air with 2 cores HT disabled

I want to improve my wprime ... HELP !

[the_real_7]

Finally hit 4.5 linx stable . . . had been working on it with Radaja and Sergio few weeks back but kept failing 1 core on ht . . so Sergio said him and a OC nub figured LL2 was the problem , so I turned LL1 on raised vcore to 1.472 and turned Ht off . . . she's rock solid at 4.5 linx and prime

Thanks again Sergio and Radaja and OC nub woot wooooot , guys who are ready to push the limits all the time

[the_real_7]

Hey Sergio got weird problem you do , but passing linx we know you proc and ram is stable at high overclock . . . as for bios if it happens on two different bios i would count that out . . . Got see if anyone else with this board is having problems if not maybe your gpu drivers ?

thanks Tony i tried a lot of things and trying to use a method, very hard to reproduce the error as i explain i can play for hours and everything perfect, then i just turn on the PC, load Medal Of Honor and BSOD...and i read the BSOD codes...last nite gave me 101 wich is luck of vcore LOL wich i pass linx after the bsod...so only wish is anything else than hardware or ill be really in bad situation as this parts are very expensive here (2,5 times the price there) and impossible to find also.

cheers and thanks for ya help

[OC Nub]

Glad that it worked Tony

This template was a great help from my friend OC nub that we tested on a saturday for some hours it was also using pagefile wich gives linx more free mem to torture a bit more...Also thanks to radaja that he is always there to help

this was our test and retest and keeps passing linx but i still have random BSOD's that i cant figure out


So far i been testing all since new bios F7f

my first problem was AUDIO, a looped "prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" sound while listeing to music or video or games, but its true what Tom says it is not really the audio it froze while listening and sound keep looped and after that BSOD

later when we did this test of linx many times and also 1000% memtest i had no problem listening to music, but randomly will crash while playing games like BC2 or MOH...i had some OC on VGA so i went to stock VGA, and last nite i played 3 hours of MOH perfect PC all day on and today i ONLY loaded MOH and BSOD

so i backed up to BIOS F6m wich i heard its a nice one, so im praying that its not mobo thats faulty or other hardware thing....

any comments help i appreciatte very much

Cheers to all
Sergio

Nice results real 7 and Sergio. I was looking at the template again, you are running dual gfx cards, try raising IOH core to 1.22-1.25v and see if that helps. You pass LinX and other stability tests but crashed opening MOH yesterday. Give it a try .

If that works then try lowering vcore a little and retest stability, that could have been the cause of the random crashes that happen only when gaming.

Thanks OC Nub so far no problems with the great template U and sergio came up with stable and damn fast . . . just thinking maybe I can achieve a bit lower voltage on load with LinX goes from 1.472 to 1.456 fluxing but still way stable , on my board the 2.0 i cant pick a vtt of 1.34
so I just stuck with 1.355

[OC Nub]

NP, glad it helped. The vtt of 1.335-1.355 is the chip not the board. One of my 920's allows 1.355 and not 1.34, the other visa versa on the same ud7.

[radaja]

andressergio and the real 7,great work guys.i cant even recall the amount of help i got from
you guys and others(OC Nub) when we were all using the UD3P's.thats whats so great about XS's
we all help eachother out,its a give and take kind of thing.just like my struggles with my new E760
OC Nub and zsamz and kup,mafio just to name a few came to my rescue big time.
so a big kudos to all the awesome members here at XS's

+1 radaja, Lots of good people here at XS willing to help. Without the help of you guys I would still be trying to get 4ghz stable on my q9550 and P5K Deluxe .

radaja: Im running 19x230bclk blend as I type on the Classified and the 930 but without HT, trying it at cas7 to make my no HT not look so bad lol.

EDIT: and at 20min it locks up again
