New G0 - It's the dog's danglies

[Pooh]

As the title says, it's the muts nuts.

It's running 100% stable at just under 3.5 Ghz at 1.40V BIOS 1.296V actual. I can get it easily stable at 3.6+ but it does need a bit more juice. I'm more than happy with 3.474 with the temps and voltages. I'll keep bumping up one more click on the FSB to see how far it will go at this voltage.

FPO# = L725B020 which make it a batch B I think. Pack date is 08/16/07

Sorry Guys forgot to mention about the cooling.

I've got as thermochill 120.3 coupled to a swiftech Apogee GTX block. Also on the W/C loop I've got an Nvidia GT7900 OC.

Rig's a bit untidy but it's had a load of work done to it lately. I'll get it pretty in due course. Function over Form at the moment.

There's also normally a 120mm 7V fan that sits and blows air over the Northbridge, Ram and Mosfets. I removed it for the picture.

AZZA - Your'e correct about the Voltage. The 1.4 was from memory. It's actually 1.375 when I checked

Hi Wayne

It's Seti@Home running on BOINC

Seti@Home Boinc

Nice thing about it is you can download a cache of Work Units to keep you going for a while.

Not sure Wayne but I don't think so.

Quick Google search threw up this

Folding @ Home & Boinc

FAH ON BOINC

BOINC is an infrastructure for doing distributed computing. BOINC is produced by the same group at LBNL which has done SETI@Home and has become a useful tool for distributed computing. We have been exploring using BOINC as an additional client in addition to the existing FAH clients in order to give donors a choice (especially those who currently run BOINC).

January 2006 We have an initial release client which we alpha tested in a small group. This has lead to some issues which have been difficult to resolve and we are delaying our launch until these issues can be resolved to our satisfaction.

April 2006 We have updated much of the code, but are now in the midst of dealing with staff turnover in the BOINC part of the development team, which has slowed development.

C64 - It's core temp 0.95 as per the screencap and the temps are 100% load. Look at the screencap. Task manager shows CPU Load at 100%.

The adding of 15 degrees you're referring to relates to Speedfan

But mine is set at 1.375 in BIOS

Time for a reboot and another click on the FSB.......

 

[Pooh]

Interesting... the plot thickens

I've just put 2 clicks on the FSB taking it up to 388 and a CPU speed of 3492.

If you look at the Voltage CPU-Z is reporting now it shows 1.326V as opposed to the 1.296V earlier. I have not changed the CPU voltage in BIOS.

( The temps are idle by the way )

Bugger Bugger Bugger. I've just started SETI off and now that the CPU is at 100% load CPU-Z is showing 1.296 again.

 

[Pooh]

VDroop Yes

 

[Pooh]

This can't be that difficult

At idle CPU-Z shows 1.328. Under load it shows 1.296. That's a differential of 0.032V.

So to me that's Vdroop.

In addition to that the BIOS Setting of 1.375 showing as 1.328 under idle with CPU-Z, a differential of 0.047V is Vdrop.

As an aside CPU-Z 1.49 is mentioned above. I can only see a link to 1.40.5 on the CPU ID website. Anyone have a link to 1.49 ?

 

[Pooh]

Whilst I'm very interested in all aspects of droop / drop , this thread is going off topic somewhat. It's not intended to be a discussion on the intricacies on Intels voltage specs.

 

[Pooh]

I don't know what you're on about guys.

Core temp .95 and .954 are reporting exactly the same temps on my G0.
