BitFenix Prodigy ITX build

I would have cancelled by now and ordered from somewhere who doesn't tell lies tbh. Had too much of this from OCUK recently. "Hur hur yeh bro we'll have that in next week". Friday. Not in.

I know this sounds far fetched but maybe, just maybe they had a problem with delivery, it's not totaly unheard of...........


.........although that can't be possible, things like that never happen. :rolleyes:
 
just found this on a competitors site



and to top it off coz im p'D off about not getting my case i thought i would take it out on my 3770k and install my H80 and OC my cpu.............................................

MY PUMP IS NOISY................................................. FFS

says different in your thread? are you running 2200MHz? have you managed any higher?

i have managed to stabilize 9-10-10-20-1T @ 1.58v and stock volts for VTT and VCCSA so im still tweaking atm :)

stock volts for this ram is 1.585 so im getting there :)

nice build btw

My own thread has now been edited to reflect the change :)


Not tried for 2200Mhz no as BCLK OC'ing has proven to be to unstable in the past in my experience, very very happy with it running at 9-10-10-21-2T though; I'll probably have a play around again at a later date.


It truly s*cks with the situation with the Prodigy, it would have been quicker to import one from Europe and not that much more expensive with the Euro being so weak just now.


Thank you also, I love the TJ08-E to bits: it's a great case :D

i work in the retail sector and if i order any thing i am given a deliver time, if its late im given another delivery time, if its late again i source else where, needless to say it never gets to the third option and even if its late I TELL MY CUSTOMERS!!

i see your oc'ing with a 2600k, dont play with the bclk, ivy has a little play i have heard up to 107 but i would not go more than what i am on atm.

i have just been playing and got 4.7GHz with temps hitting 87c, im going to play a little more but im happy with 4.7 :)

i like the look of your case but the prodigy will be mine lmafo
 
well i just got in contact with the competitor where i bought my H80 from, and i was surprised at how easy it was to get a replacement out. they are sending the replacement then once im happy with it i send back the faulty one AND they pay for the postage. AMAZING

On a side note it looks like i have to make a choice about my ram oc, its causing me headaches with my cpu oc, in real life terms i wont see any real difference between my 2200mhz and 2133mhz oc, so i have gone back to my 2133mhz oc (will play with timings another time)

although my current H80 is noisy as hell it is doing a great job at cooling my cpu only hitting 65c under load :) im going to bump up the multi again :)
 
I hate to say this and expect this might be deleted but i ordered this from another company for cheaper delivery and had my white prodigy delivered 9:20 yesterday morning.
 
well so far so good 4.6GHz @1.28v temps peeking @ 76c but hover around 65c



just playing out prime then will do IBT max for 5 rounds


**EDIT** had to up the volts to 1.29v but i dropped the iGPU volts to offset -0.005v and temps have dropped 5c!!

Well the BCLK is only good for 100.3 with a 2600K lol

Yes I tried :D


I'll be sticking an i5 3570K in mine by the weekend


The 2600K will be going in a CPU only folding rig I'm in the process of building :)
 
More good news -

1) i have totally F'd up my back
2) my new H80 is here and does NOT have a grinding noise but is still a little loud :(

i will see what it is like in my case and make a decision tomorrow :)

mean while 4.6GHz very stable @ 1.28v.

I will post some pics tomorrow about why the Asrock z77e-itx is one of the WORST boards i have ever come across!!!!!!!! its only saving grace is that it is nice to look at, feature packed and good for OC'ing

Dont say things like that.. I aint really dealt with mine yet. Besides the CPU placement what else is wrong?
