Hey thanx bro had a little help but i finally got it going good. Right now im trying to play crysis to test the cpu and video out a little bit but having issues trying to get crysiswarhead to run on win7 64!

i ahd teh same issue... patch it fully and it will run

i ahd teh same issue... patch it fully and it will run

Its fully patched with 1.0 and 1.1 no go! stops at 80% and then crashes and go to desktop with no error shown!

[punx223]

i thought it was up to 1.5?

[skarface]

i thought it was up to 1.5?

No the multi player side of the game crysis wars is up to 1.5 but the single player play crysis warhead is up to 1.1.

I know my regular crysis would not run until it was patched to 1.5...


i will have to install my warhead to see if it runs then

good job on the overclock bro!

Very nice clock and at a good voltage.

very similar to mine. I'm currently doing some tweaking on the voltage, but this is where I'm at now.

yes i need some serious help with voltages, my D0's both seem to need 1.36vcore for 200x20 without turbo. :ohcrap:


:morpheus:

[Chicken Patty]

well I had some stability issues when I took the screen shot, and had the clocked lowered slightly from my 24/7 crunching settings. I am back up to 4.3 Ghz and slightly lower vcore. The issues I was having was the RAM. I just relaxed the timings a notch and its LinX stable now. :)

Here is CPU-Z and my voltages, hope this helps :) :clapping:

http://img.techpowerup.org/091005/Capture071.jpg

everything here is right except for VTT. VTT is set at +75Mv and is 1.28v in windows. NB is at default 1.100v

ahhh... your using an evga board... i thought you were using a EX58-UD5

[Chicken Patty]

ahhh... your using an evga board... i thought you were using a EX58-UD5
I got this board when X58 came out. I was bashed. It had lotta bug issues, this and that, memory issues left and right. So everybody ditched EVGA, they went most of them to The GB UD4's or 5's. They are great boards, but I seemed to be one of the few people that sticked around with these EVGA boards and I will tell you, I wouldn't swap it out for any other board. I've done 223BLCK just like any other board at 4650 MHz or somewhere around that clock. Memory issues, well I haven't had any. The BIOS releases really helped this board mature a lot and honestly if I needed another x58 board, it'll be another EVGA :clapping::clapping:

you serious? LOL. yeah dude, first EVGA board, and won't be the last one :)

Hey tell albert koh i said hey he is a good buddy of mine! Im a pretty big evga guy too but the ud5 has it man so i swaped on u guys but i still sport the evga 295s in my pc with 5 other cards and 2 mobos i still have with u guys!

He must have a better batch then us or its strickly board?

yeah this CPU that I have is a bit golden I would say.

[skarface]

Well i just got done playing crysis warhead all the way maxed out 1920x1200 around 70 fps without vsync and with vsync enabled never goes below 50 tops at 60! Looks great however when i installed the patches i was getting black blotches in lines and i was see through in certain areas of the game. The game unpatched ran great without any issues! So the way to install it as listed before works i had no issues even loaded faster imo!

I use evga precision and i have the g15 keyboard so i view temps, clocks and frames while in game on the keyboard!

@ punx tell him joe said hey aka skarface on the evga forums!

dude you can use the on screen display too

on screen display?

[punx223]

on screen display?

im precision.... click the little wrench button.... go to the monitoring tab.... click on whatever you wanna see in game and check the "on screen display" button for whatever you wanna see in game....

and when in game it will show on the upper LH side

As long as he has evga cards right looks like he has pny. will precision work on other brands???

yes.... it worked on the gigabyte 260's i have

[Chicken Patty]

i got a patch and it worked.

However I just confirmed my 9800GX2 is dead. crashed after a few seconds of Crysis, and can't take furmark for more than a sec. or two. Thank god I had some 3870x2's laying around that are not mine. I'm installing drivers for it now and I'll post back.

[Chicken Patty]

alright, up and running. But now since it's an ATI card, EVGA Precision will not work. how can I view the FPS now? LOL.

Hey i had some issues runng quad sli and what not but i found a pretty easy fix for gaming! U can try it! nvidia control panel>manage 3d settings> global tab scroll down to power managment mode and put it on performance instead of adaptive. In alot of my games during different video scenes the cards were downclocking because it was just a movie part of the game so they would downclock then upclock again when its time to play. In batman aa it was the worst they wouldnt upclock fast enough so the single gp that was clocked properly got shitted on with the full load causing low fps and driver crash. So performance will make it where anytime u open a 3d app all cores stay fully clocked untill the 3dapp is closed out :thumbsup:!!! In ur case since u have 2 gpus might be happening to the one as well where i had three cores downclocking.

Ohh great while i was typing all that u post this lol. Use fraps is all i can say!

[Chicken Patty]

well the 3870x2 did the same thing. Meaning I think the PSU is crapping. I put the GX2 back and cpu and all at defaults. nothing is overclocked. Crysis Warhead ran a steady 45-50 FPS. Tomorrow I'll find some time to tweak the overclock again. It was Linx stable, but maybe it had to do with something that linx doesn't stress much, I don't know, what do you guys think?


By the way sorry to have made your thread a bit off topic, but you guys have been very helpful :)

You'll can PM me if you'd like to keep this thread on topic.

No biggie bro we are helping one another here!:good:

[Chicken Patty]

Thanks bro. I'll post back when I get home. Maybe it was a setting in the bios or something. Like memory low gap or something. I'm running sli so maybe I gotta tweak that

[Chicken Patty]

hello guys,

Well I got home and it had done the same thing at default clocks. I took the rig apart, removed the water loop to just check everything out again. I decide im going to take it off the motherboard tray I had it on from my TT armour case and just put my QX cruncher in there. So I take the now empty tech station (where the QX used to be) and put the i7 on it with stock cooler. Now its fine, runs furmark, and everything so far. Even at 4.3 Ghz. The only thing I can think off is that either the backoplate for the waterblock was grounding somehow, or that the mobo was grounding in the tray. Any feedback?

both are possible bro, find where ground is and insulate... elect tape usually works ;)

[skarface]

PSU going in and out about to die?? Have u checked the 12v rails with a multimeter????

well I got back home and rig is still crunching along just fine. I really think the waterblock or the board was shorting with the tray or something. All seems fine so far :)

[Kal-EL]

Well that's always nice. Glad it's good to go bro

Thanks bro. I have a couple of submissions on HW Bot in the same category as you, but you obviously got me beat with that DICE of yours :) :thumbsup:

[Kal-EL]

lol, can I take this opportunity to give you a gentle nudge over to the extreme side of overclocking? Do it!

I have my i7 on stock cooling now, it was as you see crapping on me for what appears to be a short or something. I am getting a Megahelams for it next week to overclock it a bit in the mean time. Then I will be ordering the new case, and watercooling components. Then thats where this particular water block I have laying around will be put to good use :) :thumbsup:

[Chicken Patty]

hey skarface, any news on your rig? Where you able to lower vcore a bit?

[skarface]

I doubt it after i saw ur vcore and vtt i remember at 1.35 i got 4 passes and linx red bar on me. So i uped the vcore one bump then failed on the 17th pass on linx so i uped it again to 1.3625 and finally got 20 in!

I do have a pretty good CPU bro, so don't feel bad. That still a good clock :toast:
