Easyrider's Journey Into Phase...

Aren't there ways of manually setting the core voltage? Blocking some of the pins I believe bumps you up several notches. Not sure if that's along with the bump from the mobo or if it will end up the same either way.

I've tried the two pencil mods and while that did solve the v droop the maximum didn't increase.

I'm not sure my soldering skills are up to attaching the resistors though.

I would ditch that mobo ASAP

unfortunately I needed the budget choice and as my ram's topping out at a little over 900hz, there's not much point going for a 965 chipset

I was talking about these

I'm not sure if they'll make any difference if you already have your motherboard CPU voltage set high.

Nice find but he would need more than 1.6ghz for higher clocks

need more volts that the p5n-e can supply really. Falls over in orthos at 4.1 but can run dual superpi.

Thats pretty decent for a 6400 really (assuming it is a 6400?) you might well be running out of mobo rather than CPU voltage tbh. 512 FSB is pretty good for the P5N

Looking great Easy, Subscribed !

I'll be eager to follow this one as I'm doing somthing similar (albeit not as sexy looking) myself

heh.. I wonder if it's possible to supply volts from an external source to the CPU. Would be an interesting project for someone with a spare mobo and cpu and the time to work on it.

Looking forward to seeing this build finished Easyrider.

How are you insulating the motherboard Easy ?

easyrider · 23 Apr 2007 at 23:34

Right guys I'm back,

After an in depth converstaion with messiah khan lol.

Windows is on and im idling at -35c

Remember this is unit thats quieter than most so I'm pleased to at least have it up and running.

I have some pics of my insualtion install I'll post them in a bit ,I have to install a second psu to trick the phase to stay on all the time when I'm clocking.

Once I have the ultimate clock I can then setup the unit as a normal install.

Its anoying having the phase unit switch itself off then waiting for it to start again so the next step is getting a second PSU hotwired to the phase.

Thanks for all the interest BTW its keeping me going.

It took me 4 attemps to get the head seated correctly !

Grease,neoprene,grease,neoprene etc...

I'll post a pic of my template I made and install shortly

Nice unit mate, looking forward to the results.

Is that the core temp or evapourator temp?

core temp

what are you using to measure temps in windows?

Tat?

coretemp?

speedfan?

Messiah Khan · 24 Apr 2007 at 12:46

Glad you got it sorted in the end. You get the second PSU set up ok?

speed fan
I am on a non intel chipset so can't use tat
I just wanted to check it was the cpu temp. - nice.

Not yet mate,

I have a second psu from a matx case here I can use and will have a play later tonight.

easyrider · 25 Apr 2007 at 00:15

Ok I fixed up a second psu so the Phase wouldn't shut down after saving from the bios.

4ghz @ 1.65v in bios

I apologise for the time but I want to push it further than 4ghz so hence just the screenie without 8hrs stabilty.

Nice speed on the ram too with nice tight timings.

This is so much fun

Glad the P5B is a nice clocker too.
