Splave, it wouldn't hurt, maybe we should all get Q6600's/i7 920's aswell :P
Kenny I think is the only one to have really worked the 88xx series.
I got me a 4870, but my mos powerful cpu is an e6600 :P

And I think that highlights the key actually
We need more LN2 and 980x's :D

Yeah, I've been dicing my face off. Had a nice 8 hour 3D session yesterday. 875K @ 5GHz and an Asus 5870 @ 1100/1300 on air. Have an ebay ATI 4850 on the way to pair up with the 875K and a cheap unmolested AMD Phenom II x3 720 BE for some 2D action. Plan on moving up a couple more spots in the team rankings this month ;)

Special thanks to Honda, Splave and of corse Kal for feeding my new found addiction :thumbsup:

been playing with p5e3 deluxe with q6600 trying to max fsb. 450 was quite easy without pushing any volts on air (x7) :) I need a pci post card though I cant stand just waiting to see if the gpu fan is going to spin up and its going to boot.

It's fsb walls I think that are a problem with the Q6600s,

515 now :) and not a penny more, hard freezes anything higher. If it passes pifast and wprime at 515 and wont go a notch higher I will call it fsb wall

Had that happen to my e5200, got a little more out of it
But even if it's a no go, 515 will get get some bointage!

Patch

Speaking of 01, getting better efficiency with recent team recommendations. But I can't bench the E8600 over 5.8 GHz with decent RAM timings. I think I'll blame my REX. Add that to my inability to bench at more than 120 PCIE, and I can't improve my score.

Trying to decide whether to work on it a 3rd night, or start binning Cedar Mills. Have 6 new ones and the P5e3 sitting neglected in the garage right now........might be a better use of the remaining 25L of juice this weekend.

patch vnb?

Tried a very wide range of voltage and temps, along with a wide range of FSB termination voltage. Also fiddled with offsets extensively (tried auto too). Have a pot on the NB so I haven't been shy.

More than most rigs, this seems to need baby steps. Doesn't like even moderate changes. I have to boot at 5.6-5.7 Ghz, then inch up with setfsb. Even then, I have to bench something between stepups or it freezes. Usually I just do a run of LH, bump up, run LH, bump up, etc. until I get to my target.

01 is a colossal amount of work. I think that's why people like it so much.

Celeron 430 = FAIL

That or I needed it on LN2. Highest I achieved was 3.916ghz which didn't get me where I needed to go and forget about running any other 2D benches. Highest I could run w/prime 32 was 3.8ghz. Will try this chip again one day on LN2.

WTF!? Just hooked up my Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD4P I just purchased off Ebay. It doesn't work. Turns on but does nothing but beep every 2 seconds. No display, no nothing. I can't call it. I quit. This has been the worse year for me and rma's, doa's, broke and or damaged hardware.

EDIT: HAHA, problem fixed. Clearing CMOS didn't do the trick. Had to pull the battery and let it sit, then it fired right up. Still can't call it. Just glad the mobo works because I was about to cut my wrist with it. ROFL!

i killed the kimbo 8800gt :( 9600gso, 8800gts 320&640mb

broke a cpu pin and almost killed the 980x and mb with water in the socket

so just take a break go to dents and take all his stuff and send me some :thumbsup:

only good news i got a damn dewar :D

now im broke :P

10-22-2010, 05:23 PM
Dent's on his way out of town. Got two dewars in the garage but no money to fill them until next week. That's why I went with the ghetto DICE job tonight. Nothing but failsauce. Pisses ya off. Especially since I came off some other failsauces the last 2 weeks. Only thing I have to show for this month is some mediocre q6600 benches, a 7.7ghz Intel CPUz and a 6.2ghz or something AMD CPUz. Should of had more. Like 200 point more! Guess I set my sights too high. Maybe November will be better.

Wow. New high PCMark05 score for me. :) If this R3F was not such a shit OCer I would have gotten mad boints on 05. As it is at 4.4 GHz I managed to beat my 4.65 PC05 run by over 4K points :)

Going to be nutty when I toss the two SF1200s on the classified and OC the vid card :)

Nice going Neuro. That bench is a mystery I should try to learn someday.


Fortunately, I'm finally getting some efficient runs in 01. :thumbsup:

Tried for the last 3 nights to get my E8600 back to previous clocks, but she was having none of that. :Dizzy: I'm tired.

But even with the CPU clocked 350Mhz slower, I still beat my previous high score by a few marks.

Its a Visiontek 4850 reference pbc. Tried the pencil mod and was able to get a solid 800/1200 thru all the 3D benches with the stock cooler and stock cpu speed. A couple benches ran at 825/1225 with very light artifacting.

Plan to DICE the CPU tomorrow so I'm trying to squeeze out the most of the GPU today.

Excited to say the least.

Damn nice benching these last few days guys.

No 8 Ghz for me this month. Binned all the new Cedar Mills under single stage. 3 of em were total crap. 2 of em were nothing to write home about. 2 of them have potential. Those 2 might be 7.5+ ghz chips, but both were far enough behind my 7.9 ghz chip that I'm not bothering to waste LN2 on them.

Well a torch is not a necessity but when you get a cold bug or cold bug boot and hae to warm up, you'll be happy to have one. A hair dryer will work but it's alot slower and sometimes you really don't want it to take that long. If you have a no cb/cbb cpu you're golden.

Just go to your local home Depot store. trigger ignition and adjustable flame is a must. The blue tanks work fine if you want to save some cash. The temp difference is a mateer of probably 20- 30 seconds depending on how big the temp swing is. To me it dosn't really matter. But if the temp swing is like 80 -100 degrees, obviously the Mapp (yellow) will get you there faster. If i had a chip that bad i'd ditch it anyway. LOL Blue is propane and Yellow is Mapp Gas.

I use Propane all the time. It's not that much slower and costs alot less.

^ true I have a bottle of the blue and yellow, cant tell the difference except the MAPP smells worse imo (and my gf's)

Mapp does smell crazy.

So this looks to be good to me. Almost $20 cheaper. It has the TS3000 tip on it. Wonder how much of a difference between it, the ts4000 and the ts8000? I guess the ts4000 and 8000 are strictly for mapp?

Closed out October on Halloween night with this.

First test 3018B179. CB -165. CBB -125ish (what a treat!). Kept scaling with voltage, but I've killed too much good stuff lately to get all suicidal on the first night. Specially with such nice 3D cards coming out this month.... Have no idea what uncore it will do. Test that later.

Happy Halloween. Sister's watching the kids here for the next few days while I take the wifey somewhere romantic for her b-day.

Rocktober is over, Dentlord, SPlave, [GF]Duke, DOM, and Patch came away with the Member of The Month and the team as a whole kicked ass while I was stuck on a special assignment at work.

GREAT WORK EVERYBODY (pcgames stole back #6 but not for long)
