from the other night when i couldn't get it to post i still have a r3x in my shopping cart over Ne.ca

but as long as it's fine, i still love it and i don't think a r3x will bring much more than the classy for what I do with it.

Probably not, you already get great clocks on water.

@mk-ultra You should change your name to Aquaman. I had no idea! yeah screw the RX3 and just set the cash aside for the water bill.
not since boblemagnifique have I seen such amazing clocks attributed to water. thats awesome! Im sorry i never paid attention and just now seeing your scores and the fact that youre canadian. man i love the trailer park boys. \\

this guys is rad.

..serious water dogs!

on another note I found out why my CUSL2-C wouldnt work with my cpus. see what happens when you dont do your research?
I guess I need to do this. anyone that has experience with this mod please lemme know. I'm thinking at this point I should just snap the pins off.

this is what I have

QUOTE: random
First off my specs...
ASUS CUV4X-E Coppermine Socket370 rev1.05. BIOS 1005 Beta.
OEM Celeron Tualatin 1.0A.

Anyways... I started off by removing the three red pins. AN3, AJ3, and last but not least AK4. I know you guys reccomend against physically removing the 3 pins. But let me finish...

Next I put the tually in my board and it posted as Intel Celeron@ 667Mhz! By default, the board was running it at 66Mhz. I was surprised it got it right, but my board isn't that old anyways. I couldn't believe it posted on my first try!

Right away I went to the voltage settings and it was at 2.30v!! I was like holy crap, hopw is it running this high? When I went to select the voltage, to my dismay 2.30 was the lowest I could choose from! Highest being 2.90v. Temps were hitting low 60 degrees celsius... My hs/f is good but not at that voltage! So I shut down and let it cool off.

Next thing I had to do was get the default volatage down... So I took my motherboard out and flipped it upside down. Instead of nail polish, or IDE cable wires, conductive paint etc wrapping the pins on the CPU itself.. I just soldered a piece of 40 conductor IDE wire from AM34(VSS) to AK36(Vid25m) on the back of the motherboard. This was soooo easy compared to trying to wrap the damn pins on the cpu, which is what I tried before.

Having done the soldering, I put the board back in and went into the BIOS to check to see what my voltage choices were...! I was shocked... My voltage choices were now 1.25v lowest, all the way up to 1.55v! This was great! I could now choose 1.5v if I wanted. So I put the FSB at 100 and voltage at 1.5v and botted into windows xp. No problems, ran everything... games, prime95, sisoft sandra burn in for hours. Everything was perfect! But now I wanted to overclock... Maximum of 1.55v was not going to get me far at all... Got me to 112FSB but that was it.

So I proceeded to solder another wire to AM34(VSS)... this time it was AL37(Vid2). Having soldered that... I went into the bios and could now select voltages from 1.55v ~ 1.95v! I knew this was perfect.. I am now running at 1400Mhz, 140x10, 1.65v STABLE. I'm going to try for 1450 and 1500. I'll let you guys know how high I can get this chip. Although I'm pretty happy at 1400Mhz.

This was my first mod of this kind ever, and I guess I'm extremely lucky it worked out so perfect. I wouldn't have been able to do it without all the great suggestions in this thread. Thanks everyone.

Thanks!
I'm sorry, I'm not even too familiar with overclocking the i7 family, let alone two of them on the SR2. Did you check out this thread in the Intel section?
If you PM jcool I'm sure he'll help you out as well.

Next rev coming soon?

I heard it will be launched 1st February, but there will be a beta test server first anyway.

Here are this year's first great scores:





Well done guys!

Good work Messers. Chew and Extreme Solid!

[Linuxfan]

Just a heads up, looking forward to testing a GTX 480 in the upcoming weeks of this month, hopefully in all the 3d benches including 3dmark01 through vantage plus AM3 and Heaven DX11.

[Don_Dan]

MTP04 posted a nice 03 single card score yesterday, check it out!

[MTP04]

Thanks Dan but I still think its a low score for the setup. My GT2/3 are pretty low compared to other people with similar gpu clocks. Not sure if its my OS or the REX/E8600 platform being inferior in those game tests.

Anyway it looks like my "good" rampage has taken a turn for the worse. I tested it again the other night and I just couldn't get it to bench past 600fsb. I have a second rampage that can still handle high fsb(630+) but the Fujitsu cap under the cpu is bulging so bad that I don't want to risk my cpu on it. I guess Sandy Bridge couldn't come at a better time for me.

[Linuxfan]

Any guys in the US going to participate in the Hwbot country cup?
I tried to push vistageek92 a little so maybe he'll give us a Heaven score...

Just a guess, but the added stress of the GTX 580 might cause the motherboard to clock worse, maybe because some voltages drop? What's you PSU?
Or the REX is really dead.


Btw, good luck to those competing in MOA!

In case some of you guys missed it, here's the Live Score Board!

you read my mind. I just posted something similar in the xs country cup thread in the competitions section.
We gotta get USA in this.
I think our best USA clockers are in MOA so that might be the reason we are so far behind.
someone in the USA must have a 580 and an internet connection.

I see a lot of US guys in MOA right now...
The ones that aren't at MOA should be benching though.

Edit: 51M left with 32M GO GO GO!

[trans am]

okay lemme see what I can do. 3 days left in stage 1. I am limited to a gtx460. I am going to get Dr kim to unplug a gtx580 and tell him how to get it all installed.
USA XS Guys in MOA. we have all the usa boys on xtremesystems rooting for you. Just keep your beers down and your clocks high. 46 min left?

[trans am]

Usa trifecta.
32m moa

proud of you guys. who is the MC? why is he even in the same time zone?
Get Vince from the shamwow commercials next time. at least we'd be entertained.


USA needs to represent in CC.
THey did their part.

finally we placed USA. in HWBCC

Your right, a stronger video card or running 2 or more cards puts a bigger load on the cpu and it may not clock as high as with a single card or a lower performing card but this isn't the case for me. I had the system benching with the gfx card before at 6.3ghz, a few weeks back, with no issues. But now I can't even get into windows, even at 6.2ghz. This is with the Antec TPQ-1200 psu.

Hm, that doesn't sound good, seems like the REX is about to die.
But it deserves a special place, it served you well for a long time!
And I see you already got yourself some new toys!


All you guys going crazy over SB:



Well done everyone, especially 1st and 2nd in 32M with the 2600K is great!

Edit: 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in 32M now!



You guys make me want to play as well!
