w00t

Just installed my new stuff today and managed to get this first time

yay for me, its on stock cooling atm as the artic cooler was a bit of a dodgy fit, but i will sort it eventually

big thanks to welshtom for the help and patience lol

Well pleased :)
 
yeah its super PI stable and its gone through 01 after a few loops, so far so good

at 3ghz it failed the lobby scene every time
 
w00t, getting there toby :)


This is is for the people who think it may not be stable ;)

Once we get that freezer back on there 3ghz will be steady as a rock :)

Haha :)

That looks as stable as an old woman with one leg walking down an icey road in the dark after drinking too much :p

Seriously dude 32MB super-PI doesn't cut it anymore. . Show me 12 hours of dual-prime!!!

Keep up the good work and try and hold down your excitement for a few days before gushing, too much of that going on followed by retractions such as "Oh it wasn't stable after all" or "Damn COD-2 keeps crashing"

If you can get that 3GHz fully stable that would be quite something!

Please post Stability screenshots/evidence of any amazing overclocks you do with as much info on your chip and set-up, its for the good of all :)

May need to let te CPU burn in for while before being completely stable past 2.8. Could get mine to 2.8 on first day but could not get and keep stable at 3.0ghz until almost a month of pc running.

BTW - COD2 is the biggest test imo also - the Point Du Hoc scene as you bridge the cliff face and lookout over battlefield was the most testing.
 
are temps of 48-54 under load ok? on stock cooler

will use my artic pro next week when we sort out the mount on it so it doesnt block the dimm sockets
 
this is as far as i got at 3ghz, i pretty much took the screenshot, saved it, went to commect to the net and it dies blued me again but im gonna keep trying although i may need some suggestions as to what to do.

im thinking im gonna have to drop the HTT to x2 as my board (a8n sli) only supports upto 1000fsb apparently and at 3 x 334 i breach it. i was feeding it 1.6v when i got this and it was around 35/36 idle



now i just gotta test my 2.93 and see if it is stable
