TEMPS ARE 45 ON 100% FULL LOAD AT 4.2



not bad thank you Laguna.... this appears to have been a wise choice...

it was a to install though jesus christ.... almost killed my board when i dropped the screwdriver and at first thought i killed my cpu - turns out grease just seeped into the pins - cleaned it though and it's back up and stable.....

close one though...

very powerful cooler - was 13 degress at stock when i re booted at first and fan wasn't even at 100% 21-22 on idle at desktop now....

very nice...

can't believe it was only 29 bucks canadian


one thing users oughtta know - that was one of the worst set of instructions i have ever been provided before going in and installing this thing )by coolermaster) - all i can say is first time users attempting this - just be careful - you could end up with a lot of expensive "coasters
"...so to speak...-just read it carefully...


edit:

my god 44 at the fullest load i would probably give it (vdmod xvid encode) - And this is Pass 2 (the heavy one)




edit 3: obviously the rpms above are wrong - but that's everest for you


I NEVER would have dreamed it for only 29 dollars - a 20 degree drop all around...obviously this will also be good for i7 - i plan to dump a 875K in here since the price has come down so nicely



just hope they have one in stock or at least a GOOD one by the 7th of Jan...




Enjoy.....

btw, what mobo ?

I managed to get 4.4GHZ prime stable for 8rhs 46min.. but my 540 demands a lot of voltage.. I had to get it to 1.4V

[Gameman]

hi mate see you got one like mine mine unfortunately also needs about 1.44 in the bios in order to let BILL GATES even make an appearance...

for absolute stability where i could even dream of using it to encode it would need about 1.46-1.47+

what was your batch number/pack date by the way???

thanks

can seem to get a decent fsb outta this board - especialy now that i got the cooling

oh pardon me BCLK!!!

[Gameman]

I know this is probably an obvious question - but anyone here using a 120mm fan cooler/heatsink have any idea when i swap out my cooler master 212 fan for a higher rpm case fan or even a 2200 rpm 92mm fan temperatures on the cpu go up?????

i tried it once with the original fan - obviously 22 c - like usual
once with two 120mm fans (one on either side - tried both directions) - temps 27-30 c (and this is with the original 212 fan btw)

once with just the case fan (which should be higher rpm) positioned same way 212+ fan was and temps are now up to 26 c at idle and roughly 1 c higher on load...

am i missing something here??? this doesn't make sense

unless they've designed the 212 fan to be absolutely ing perfect from the ground up

unbelievable...

i didn't expect that for 29 dollars...


edit: nevermind - found the option for fan control in easy tune 6 believe it or not

now have cpu fan running at full 2000 rpm all the time

by the way i don't know what everyone's raving about speedfan for??? i found it totally useless..

edit: i just wish gigabyte had the same gadget that DFI uses on their x48 and x38 boards that allows you to control ALL the fans from the desktop... all i can control is the cpu fan unfortunately - no options for system-("northbridge fan" it used to be) or any of the 120mm Antec case fans and speedfan - well, like i said all it gives you is the option to turn them DOWN apparently - which clearly is the exact opposite of what i wanted to do...

jesus ...oops pardon me...



thanks

Hey,

Sorry for late response, I don't use this site very often :P, anyway the batch I've gotten is FPO/Batch: L020B511, MM#904853.. I didn't get the best one either, but I was able to get it stable at that 1.4V for 9hrs Prime 95.. If you recently bought that I would exchange it :P..

[Gameman]

.. If you recently bought that I would exchange it :P..

thank you - i was wondering that myself....but is it ethical to exchange a cpu because it's a vcore HOG????? or to put it more bluntly a P.O.S.???!!!

or does it even matter????? (i'm assuming they would give it to their "supposed" tech department, test it out at stock find nothing wrong with it and hand it right back to me)

i dunno i spent EXTRA money on the 550 because i wanted the 4.8 ghz maybe even 5.0ghz and i can't even get a decent 4.3 for christ's sake...

seriously they oughtta watch their quality control a little more because this is unacceptable...

I'm surprised it passed inspection cause this isn't even a good 530....christ!!!

like i said 4 posts ago....something obviously went severely wrong in the binning process....

i dunno, i've had a few offers of 90.00 for it...maybe i'll unload it and throw in another 20.00 for a brand new 540 and hope i get lucky...

i sure am curious as to know what it's like to encode at 4.6ghz - 4.7ghz 4 threads without fear of killing it...

you see now why i'm going for the x3440

no sense in flushing extra cash down the hopper if THIS is the best they can do...

[OC Nub]

Posted this on the LinX thread, but thought Id post it here also.

[[B]attery]

very nice, is this on water?

[OC Nub]

Thanks, yes water but with the ac blowing on the rad.

[Ando]

Started playing with my new bench rig :P















not bad for 1h 30min :-p (this is just cpu clocks - no efficiency at all.....yet :-P)

[[B]attery]

very impressive. would you mind sharing your batch? and cooling setup?

[Gameman]

my god!!!!
Thats the first "enthusiast one" (655k) i've seen that requires almost as much vcore for decent clocks like my p.o.s.550...

funny since i have to wait for the i7 i was considering 655k, but since the chances are just as good at getting what i have here handed back to me perhaps i'll skip...

nice clocks though...

I'd hate to think what mine would need for 4.8ghz
i mean i know it's as easy as setting to to 200 x 24 but the vcore would probably be a requirement in the range of 1.57 minimum just to boot into BILL GATES...

oh well despite this...

Try and Have a Nice Holiday folks folks

[88EVGAFTW]

Add me



Stock Vcore was like 1.16 I think

[LagunaX]

@88EVGAFTW: Nice budget clocker you got there - my 540 takes 1.42v for stability at 4.6ghz...

[radaja]

88EVGAFTW,nice chip and OC
whats the batch number?i added the OC but would love to know the
batch number as well.thanks

[PatRaceTin]

what is max. reach of DDR Freq for Clark.????

[Yamcha]

Add me



Stock Vcore was like 1.16 I think

Wow awesome, I can only manage 4.41GHZ with 1.4V :O, mines demands more voltage.. but it is 12hr prime stable

[hsn]

i think i have bad chip......

[LagunaX]

@hsn

You could try lowering your qpi link and see if it gives you a little more headroom - it may or may not...

Thanks,i'll try this night.......

[Gameman]

i think i have bad chip......

you think THATS BAD...

try 1.46vcore for 4.4ghz encode/vdmod stable MINIMUM

i gave up on getting a decent chip
and sunk it into a new LCD monitor instead...

just be grad you can do that high at all - i got a 550 and it can barely muster 4.2 ghz encode/prime stable- and even then it crashed the other day just under everyday use....


on the bright side though - intel (not officially) has managed to 'pinch out' a STANDARD 4.0ghz chip - in other words, 4.0ghz is kinda a given.....they just never announced it officially - i mean otherwise there'd be rma's and warranty claims galore....

all i can say is Happy New Year (if yer on our calendar)

Cheers
