Really lost/E6750 + Asrock

It shouldn't be idling at 60C+ - especially on an AC Freezer 7 Pro. Can you just check that all the legs are properly through the holes in the motherboard and that it's all clicked firmly into place?

Are you using anything to check stability? eg. Orthos?

And I would agree with mp260767 - it's not optimal to have 4 sticks of RAM running 1T, so I would set it to 2T and leave everything else as is.

CPU Internal Cache [Enabled] - Fine
MPS Version Control For OS [1.4] - Fine
PCIe Bus, Slot 1, MHz [100] - Fine
HPET Function [Enable] - Fine
Overclocking Recovery [Enabled] - Definitely!
Memory Timing Setting [Optimal] - You will want [manual] eventually when you're right down to the last aspects of tweaking though.
NVIDIA GPU EX [Enabled] - Fine
Intel SpeedStep[Disabled] - Vital that this is disabled.

What case did you end up getting?

thats the one thing i hate about the pop in coolers the pins seem to be a right pain to slow in, might just be the way i've fitted mine but i prefer the old amd/intel clip method.

would hope that 63 is under load as an earlier screen shot from coretemp shows 29.

God yes I agree, the amount of times I had to remount even the stock Intel Cooler.... was dreadfully annoying.
 
1.29375v.jpg

This is what I got so far guys. I dropped the volts from 1.40000 to 1.29375 to get the temp down, just wondering is it ok to keep the volts down while running at a higher speed? Its just that the lower I bring the volts the temp drops a bit lower.
I was just going to keep bringing it down until it becomes unstable then bring it up a bit and run a few stability tests then lock of the memory setting and change to T2.
I will also look for the software "Orthos" and run some tests when I'm done. If I get it stable at 3.2GHz I'd be happy and maybe when I get a bit more convident I'll try bringing it up a bit.
I've took off the cooler and put a thin layer on and it did improve a lot as I had just put a blob on the Heat Sink and popped it on:eek:

That's much better, but I think you'll need more volts for stability.

It's supposed to run at 1.3375V, so any less than that and I would say you are risking instability anyway.

That's a reasonable plan. You can download Orthos from here.

It's not the best mounting mechanism in the world, but you seem to have it under control now.

Good luck!
 
cant be seated right with them temps.

my advice when you have a bit of time is remove the board from the case, reseat the cooler outside of the case then pop it back in.

least this way you can guarentee all 4 corners are locked down tight.

edit:

just thought of this , reach inside the case and touch each of the plugs, does one move more easily than the rest ?, if so thats the one thats loose so it isnt seating.
 
Hmmm ... those temps are odd, do you have access to a camera? maybe take a few pics.

Also take off the heatsink and take the CPU out, clean them thoroughly with rubbing alcohol, then re-apply the thermal paste.

Not had experience with the AC Freexer 7, but it should be able to cope with the C2D
 
OK GUYS,

Checked the connections and one corner was a little loose

Took the fan off and checked the heatsink

Now what happened was, instead off when I was putting the paste on, I put the whole sticker on and forgot to take out the middle piece off plastic, I know, I'm a complete tool, but at least I admit it, I could have just said one corner was right out or some crap like that...lol, just lucky I didnt burn out the chip, or even the plastic melting.

So put a thin layer off paste onto the heatsink

So I put the fan on the other way so that the case fan beside it is sucking the hot air out aswell

And BINGO, new reading in the post below
 
:) sweet, you live and learn ... the only way sometimes! i remember blowing up a psu by setting it to the wrong voltage once, nevermade that asme mistake again :D

glad to hear you've got it sorted!
 
The guy in the shop told me it was an AC Freezer 7 pro....bummer. As for the room Im in, I live in a 1 bedroom flat and this room is like a green house, really really hot in the summer and freezing in the winter, its boiling in here now, I'm just sitting here with shorts and a t-shirt.......lol:)

I done another quick stress test, I know it was only for 1min 24 sec but last time it shot up to 125C in the first 15sec's so something going right.

I have the Memory timming setting locked off now, would I need to unlock them again when tuning it up more if I want too now? As I'm gonna have a go at bringing it up more tomorrow now I know what the problem was, or will I just keep them locked?

If they're still set to unlinked, then you can leave them as is.

I don't think you should go in that store any more. I don't think they're doing you any favours. OcUK might have seriously high postal costs to NI, but, on the other hand...

I think the cost off delivery would be worth it, at least I would know what I'm getting, so think it would be worth it in the end.
I'll call it a night, been at it since I got the new board and been working in the evening for the past few night so pretty wrecked.
Just downloaded Episode 11 off The 4400 and gonna put the feet up and hit the hay.

Thank a lot everybody, you have all been brilliant with the efforts you have put in and going out off your way to help me.
A GREAT BIG THANKS!!!!

I'll get another go at it tomorrow and keep you updated on how I get on and shout in if I need more help.

Thanks again guys, well pleased now and a bit more educated:)
 
good to see you;re getting there :D

any chance you can reseat the cooler so the fan pushes case air over the cooler itself and out through the rear fan ?

had a quick look and it looks like a coolermaster Hyper TX Intel, fan details show as 92mm fan, 22dba and 41cfm, although they can be taken with a pinch of salt doesnt look too bad.

Thank mate, really glad I'm getting there.

Not to sure what you mean mate. I thought turning the cooler around facing the back fan would be better, as the cooler fan sucks the air away from the Heatsink rather than blow air on it, so as it sits now, the cooler fan is sucking the air away from the cooler and the large fan beside it is sucking the air from that straight out the back off the case.
If I have it round the other way then is the heat sink fan not blowing hot air all over the case?

So do you think its better to have it the way I had it originally?

CheckedConnections.jpg


I've had the computer on all night and been doing a bit off messing around this morning Encoding a movie and temps seems ok

OvernightTemps.jpg


If you think its better to turn it around I'll do it no problem, maybe I'm just picking you up wrong mate:)
 
No worries mate:)

Heres were I am so far.

3.61.jpg


I'll keep at it, just bring it up to the 3.6 if I can and then run the tests and if unstable just up the volts, or up the volts on the way, isn't that the way to do it?
So just keep an eye on the temps, I think idel around 40C and Load around 60C?

What would be the critical temp for this chip so I know to drop down again? Dont what to shoot up to 125C(?) again, that one scared the crap outta me, although it was my fault for being a tit and keeping the centre peice off plastic on, man I'll never live that one down.....lol:)

Got it up to the 3.6 so gonna run a few tests now, starting to have a bit more convidence now:)

Just wonder, what would be the best setting to test with Orthos?

40/60 temp wise is what i work off, can handle up to 80 ok but i prefer to keep it mid 50's/60 to be on the safe side.

think its the small fft setting that tends to stress it the most, think orthos gives a description on each if you have a close look.

3.6 not bad either :D
