4000+ under DI

[TaPaKaH]

Me and jkey thought than we should have a go @ OCing his 4000+...

Setup:
Athlon64 4000+ (Clawhammer) usually IHSless, but today - w/Opty146 IHS on
DFI LanParty NF4-D (modded to Ultra-D) (dead after this OC )
TaPaKaH`s DI tube, and, of course, DI
2x512MB Gskill PC4400LE (Samsung TCCD)
some PCI video
Akasa 550W PSU

First of all - I would like to introduce you to a chipset cooling on DFI invented by jkey ...

I bet none of you guys have heatpipe cooler this big on yer DFI chip

Then comes a couple of pics with DI container installed


A couple of pics of system running


jkey`s chipset cooling was working very well ... with DI on it


And now - the results:

Suicide validation - only at 3442MHz - http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=103658
We coudn`t get it stable at frequencies over 3050MHz ... there were some problems with mem.controller in this CPU
+the DFI mobo jkey has got for this OC was not fully DFIish ...
The max HTT was validated at 325MHz - http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=103661 , suicided at 340MHz


After that we removed the container, but we might have overdone ir , removed it with IHS


Pics of "frosted" container (IHS still on)


Getting rid of DI



And now it`s time for some stupid pics
Cook #1 (TaPaKaH)
Cook $2 (jkey)
Soup, anyone ?
Ehm ... right ...

too cool (no pun intended)

[nn_step]

nice but why would you waste perfectly good DI, when you can use it for so much more testing

Have got nothing to do with it
Max CPU freq - was already tested (~3400MHz)
Max HTT - not too much, anyway (bad mobo)
Try to bench - would have been very low results - problems with mem.controller

this is great Nice suicide and so good DI fun pictures, even I really can't understand the DI wasting (unless you can get it whenever you want )

3.45 is certainly not bad for an old clawhammer

i had to do it after killing my 3200+, DI doesnt last that long if you don't have a place to freeze it.

sure that's a sad reason to do so no rig, no fun...think I would freeze some stuff angrily in such situation (spiders, plants or so :>)

I love the chipset cooling
Also congratz for the bench.

Cool new way to remove IHS. Better then hearing the sound of velcro and finding CPU stuck to the bottom of heatsink. Tapakah you look straight your right out of Sling Blade in the shot.

That's a Zalman VGA cooler on the chipset, isn't it?
Nice clock, btw

[Plywood99]

Lol, gotta love goofing with dice after a hard day of clocking...

Yep, it is (but a bit tweaked )
