October what ever

[kikicoco1334]

October is starting in a few hrs or days what ever :D

Been clocking some old school X58 today, was wondering does anyone still remember how to clock those things?
Can't seem to get this 980x over 6GHz with out crashing and my multimeter is broken so can't really tell what the QPI/VTT volt is :(

board is the GA-X58A-OC
btw, the physical overclocking buttons are AMAZING!

[PhIlLy ChEeSe]

Yoyo koko!
For a good gigabite OCING guide you should look at tweaktown forums. I can't link from my damn androide retard phone. Anything you need from gigabyte is there, bios Etc....
Good luck!
PS shouldn't you ask first, then post pictures?

[PhIlLy ChEeSe]

Disregard double post:ohcrap:

Dude, unfortunately, not all 980X chips will break the 6Ghz barrier :(

[kikicoco1334]

I understand, but the thing is it hits 5940MHz REALLY easily! but once it touches the 6GHz line it BSODs :(

I'll go look around in tweaktown
it's been a while since last time i touched the x58s

[MaadDaawg]

ask Alan, he'll get you over the hump :thumbsup:

[kikicoco1334]

Sweet! I'll ask him when he gets out of the water swimming from China to America XD

[Splave]

wtf is x58?

jkjk 980x is such a tough chip because they vary quite a bit. most retails were not that good, I never had a real good one until I bough that A0....If you can get a 990x ES that is pretty much as good as x58 gets.

You might just be stuck at 59ish man, try lower multi see if you can squeak a bit more out I guess. push volts is all you can do...


PS shit is about to get very real, going to dust the old matrix 7970 off and run some proper 3dmark11 XD and vantage.

[kikicoco1334]

Gottcha!

here is my chip. :D
http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=2528528

just can't seem to being able to make over the mark x.x
gonna try play with a little more voltages when i get home this weekend
still have over 17L left :p

[kikicoco1334]

btw, hey guys, quick question...
I know it's super old but do any of y'all know or remember if D9GMH clocks above 1300 5-5-5 normally? i know D9GKX does it pretty well on average

I know IC doesn't mean much if you have a good stick you have a good stick but i just wanna have some idea what voltage to use and know when to stop so i will not be spending 10hrs on something that's not even gonna move

btw this is the set on the bot. http://hwbot.org/submission/2315664_kikicoco1334_memory_clock_ddr2_sdram_671.1 _mhz

[Splave]

not bad at all dude :) think how may volts you throwing at it right now?

[kikicoco1334]

Thanks bud!

I have 2.46 running into it, which is .01v higher than what my TeamGroup GKX is rated @ 1300 C6 @ 2.30 - 2.45v
I really don't know much about clocking them

and the cool thing is I had all 4 sticks filled at that speed and it passed 1M SPI and almost passed 32M until I decided to go to bed x.x but it looked like it was going to pass (it was at round 23 before i quit)

Trying my best NOT to kill it XD

[kikicoco1334]

Just traded my Patriot Sector 5 PGV38G1600ELK + cooler master hyper 121 for a Hanns.G screen, not 100% sure the model of it, but i think it's HH251HPB. 2x HDMI, 1x VGA, 1080p @ 75Hz pretty nice, but it has 1 green dead pix in the dead center...
Gonna try get that fixed, if not just use it for bench 3D with :D

oh and made ice cream with new gf with LN2 :rofl:

[kikicoco1334]

jsut noticed something made me feel retarded....

Good to see you around these part again bro.

Time to have some fun :)

[Splave]

first 3770k 1.24v 5ghz :P
2nd 1.232 5ghz XD

[Witchdoctor]

you binning them on air or cold ?

[DOM]

I think air 2c no ht......

I want a 8GHz :P

[GFDuke]

I think air 2c no ht......

Plan on spending 1k for a binned chip. or spending at least double that binning your own. Then again with your luck you'll get one first try. lol

well i had a 6.7 2D on my first one delid it and fuck it up and took me 6-7 more to find one about the same.... im done binning cost me more then i would of liked :blush:

now i need some ln2 to test out this ASrock OC Formula :)

been running the delid cpu on the ss since temps dont skyrocket like my bench chip i can get 5.4GHz 4c 8t :laughing:

nothing like ln2 is more Mhzzzzz fun :p

Should be filling the dewar today :D

^ awesome benching bro :D

oc formula is a beast in 01 for sure. you benching with that massive motherboard cooler off? if not I recommend it, gets really wet in there if ya dont :)

found the imc of my dreams lol

hmm nice.

I am quibbling over .1 seconds based on timings and mem speed so umm what?

Gotyta say your chipset sucks.. I am running 5 GHz QPI on X79 on air :) just kidding wish I could adjust API on x79. EVGA sucks.

[GFDuke]

Very nice.

btw....Dukes gone pro.

[Splave]

hey witch, this one is only good for 1 core clocks, 2 cores shits out about 6.7 and 4 cores even less. that means only pf/1m/32m for this guy. I have a retail that does 6.62 4 core 3d which is not great but it is what it is. I cant see buying too many more.

benching at work is not really doable any more business has been picking up. had to abort a couple good runs and was cold for too long, slot full of water. will take 1st tomorrow. CPU can go 20mhz higher should do it.

That is a good thing, glad business is picking up, just had to get glasses my self, wow did not realize how bad my vision was until I put these glasses on, it like living in HD ........... :laughing:

Also nice work Allen I'm still stick on the asrock dimm keep frosting over cuz I don't wanna use vaseline :P

[Splave]

Pack the first dimm with eraser bro :) or blow some hot in there ever 20 minutes are so on that eraser.

not likely, if you are using eraser sometimes I get a little piece stuck in the corner and keeps the pot off a bit. the paste can degrade though so might be, but hope not

Yuck :wtfsign:

its alright sometimes but i like the light colored liquors like rum and vodka :cool3:

Have noit played with this CPU at all yet other than some water runs :shock:

But that seems whacked ,,,,, what is your Extech reading at, real temp might be effed

[GFDuke]

I think ur Real Temp is messed up. That dosnt seem right at all.

[DOM]

It has to be right cuz if I have a higher oc at 1.8 it reboots right away @ 5.5

So something isn't right :P

[Witchdoctor]

hope it is not you chip.......... :ohcrap:

[kikicoco1334]

damn DOM!
I've had 100+ on my 3570k once

[GFDuke]

I wouldn't trust Real Temp or any other software when benching LN2. What are your temp probe readings? How cold were you?

[DOM]

yeah i wouldnt but i just used it cuz it wouldnt take any load past 1.65v at a higher oc

and i was full pot

as you can see in the pics the contact was good and i used 2 tubes of paste older one and new one that i just opened

and still crapola

[DOM]

So is my cpu fucked ? Rma time ? :(

[Splave]

^your going to have to kill it to rma it :P that sucks man..

as soon as I we settle on a house, going to have a north east weekend and bring the ln2 truck over. bring your own gpu's and welcome to use whatever I have on the cpu/mobo end :)

alread got the okay from the boss, maybe we can get some sponsored gear if enough of you guys are interested

[Witchdoctor]

here's the first time out for this chip , see how low I can go 4c/8t

Whats a good voltage for 5Ghz that would be an indication of the quality of this chip?

running one now at 1.265 v still holding on at 12 loops ........ :laughing:

just passed at 1.265 v going for less

just passed at 1.256

that is as low as it will go 1.25 = fail :shock:

[DOM]

run vantage or 3d11 :P


but im not sure if it needs to be tested on air/water to know if its any good

but mine would run IBT at 1.25v 5GHz

[kikicoco1334]

wow not bad!
I just sold my P5Q Deluxe, Q8200, GA-Z77-UD5H, not trying to pick up a UP7 or MVE now.
Not sure which one I'd rather have :( hate decision making!

hopefully i can get this job i just applied, even if i just work like 30hrs a week i'd be pulling in enough cash to pay for most of my toys and living expenses.

haven't kept most of y'all posted, but i've been living on people's couches since end of July lol.

i've been looking at the OCF as well, seems like everyone is enjoying it's memory clock very much.

this is going to be my 100% bench setup, since i am getting out of school next Wed the 21st not going back till the 25th i better act quick or i'd be clocking x58 on LN2 again XD

maybe not so good ............ :ohcrap:

have you tried for more then 5GHz ?

i would still juice it anyways :D

even my bad ones did 6GHz

[Witchdoctor]

BIOS won't let me go over 1.5 v even know I have it overriden :blink:

know a decent BIOS for this board ?

Check on Kingpin Cooling forums for bios versions. I;m pretty sure Shammy has them up over there.

[Witchdoctor]

thanks for the tip, I will check it out :thumbsup:

im on 1204

[Witchdoctor]

that seems to be the general consensus ay KPC as well

it is a long thread , board seems to have a lot of issues ........ :laughing:

if this BIOS does not help it is going out to the range , the AK will make a hell of a mess out of it ......... :ohcrap:

[Witchdoctor]

Wow way cool, I will get you the batch when I get home tonight

Passed 32M at 1.256 but did not get a scren shot and when I tried to reproduce it took 1.261

I have overvolt enabled in the BIOS, that is what is effed up, I also have all the monitoring stuff to ignore but still get CPU fan boot error, just plugged a POS fan into ti to solve that , but working on 5.5 setting last night could not get it to boot as overvolt error pops up on boot up ......... I think this BIOS if effed, Ran out of time last night but going grab 1204 tonight and see if enable overvolt works on that one

You know of any that are better than 1204 .... any Shammy magic BIOS's afoot :laughing:

[Witchdoctor]

working on it bro, but got to be ready at $ 2.25 a liter I can't afford to burn it up dicking around.

to put it into prespective, it would cost you $ 112.50 to fill your 50 liter :ohcrap:

if its a costa I hope it scales with volts, if its malay you are golden bro

XD Im made jelly, $500 for it? haha

talk to them! ans see if they'll lower the price :thumbsup:
I got them to lower it from $4/L i think to like $1.5 now $1, and this friday or next monday when i go back i'll ask them and see if i can just have a fixed rate of $15 per dewar or something :D (oh PS. i normally fill 32L but the guy only bill me 10~15L)

[Witchdoctor]

this is the discounted price and they seem not top want to get off the price, limited outlets around here for it in the Amish country

It's a Costa ......... :shock:

Batch# - 3213B472

Serial - 2R208834A2551

Any word on the best BIOS you came across for this board ?

[Witchdoctor]

if its a costa I hope it scales with volts, if its malay you are golden bro

XD Im made jelly, $500 for it? haha

Doesn't seem to unfortunatly 1.488 for 5.4 .......... :ohcrap:

could not get it to boot at 1.6 for 5.5 :shock:

if scaling continues like this even a 1.938 under cold it will only reach 5.8

but I have to play with it, used my Sandy profile for the rest of the settings
