Just leaving it at that i just cant get it passed 2.5 at all

Nice, same chip as mine. I had it on 2.5GHz on my stupid MSI motherboard. It sucks for Overclocking, waiting for my DFI then 3GHz here I come

.

How many Volts through CPU and RAM?

nbkpsycho · 21 May 2006 at 22:30

1.66v for the cpu and 2.8v for the ram, max load is 35c :cool:

harris1986 · 22 May 2006 at 06:57

max load temp of 35c? on what cooling lol

You read my mind

harris1986 · 22 May 2006 at 09:44

there could be a number of explanations for it i guess :
1) he's on very very poor phase
2) he's on very good water cooling
3) he hasn't properly stressed his cpu (i.e. through prime or toast or anything)
4) he's lying

Never mind all that... what Motherboard/RAM you using?

I recon we can help you squeese a bit more out of that chip

nbkpsycho · 22 May 2006 at 11:10

Gigabyte K8NE motherboard
1gb of Geil RAM @ 3-3-6 cas 2.5
HIS X850XT

and my cpu cooler is :

and i also have 8 case fans and my pc sounds like a hoover

and yes i did run prime 95 enough it was on for about 6-8 hours when i checked the temps surely thats enough :confused:

and tbh i dont really care if you believe me or not

harris1986 · 22 May 2006 at 11:32

whoa i'm not accusing you of lying i was just joking buddy, but for the benefit of all the hardcore enthusiasts could you post a screeny? that's a nice oc, quite high volts tho

nbkpsycho · 22 May 2006 at 11:39

Yea they are high volts but its the only way to get passed 2.4ghz

Volts are lies because ive checked with cpuz and they show 1.66

harris1986 · 22 May 2006 at 12:55

those temps show 35c :S but the cpu isn't under load in that picture :confused:

nbkpsycho · 22 May 2006 at 13:00

What do ya mean ?? i had prime 95 on for an hour when i took the screenshot :confused:

harris1986 · 22 May 2006 at 13:02

my bad just saw it in the taskbar, appologies!

very nice temps then

kind of amazing to be honest, what case have you got? idle temps? ambient room temp?

trojan698 · 22 May 2006 at 13:10

Its a newcastle, the volts are ok. I wouldnt trust the reported temps though, they seem far too low.

nbkpsycho · 22 May 2006 at 13:15

Its a custom built case and the ambient temp is 20c roughly

and tbh my bedroom is freezin

We are scottish need i say more

So weres the help then

gr1mey · 22 May 2006 at 20:29

yeah I'd say those temps are a bit generous too.

if I put 1.6v through my opty at 2.5 I get 39'c load on water. You really need a thermal probe on the CPU to be accurate, or at least check if the Easytune program is reporting correctly.

nbkpsycho · 22 May 2006 at 21:44

Well ive reseated my heatsink and ran prime 95 for 2 hours and the temp now shows at 39-40

All i can say tbh is that your water cooling must be rubbish
