Temps OK?

Hi Ben,

Thanks for asking and sorry for the delay! All moved into the flat now and have rebuilt the PC.

While i was at it i also upgraded from the 7950 GX2 to an 8800GTX.

The 680i has a Noctua NC-U6 on the northbridge and an Enzotech forged copper heatsink on the southbridge.

Although it's not pictured i have bought a Thermalright SI-128 to replace the Amanda (which is total overkill imo) and i also have a Thermalright HR-03 Plus on it's way to cool the GTX while i overclock it.

The OCZ SLi memory is also an absolute gem and works wonderfully with the mobo.

All in all i'm really very happy with it! I can run S.T.A.L.K.E.R @ full @ 1680x1050 with the whole PC running @ stock. The 8800's really impressed me! :cool:

Nice stuff, looking good, Is that motherboard 680i or 680i LT?

Thanks Ben,

It's the bog standard 680i (Revision 1). Debating quad core but would only do that if i was prepared to return the mobo to EVGA to swap it out for one of the newer revisions that will happily clock a quad.

I'll let you know what i decide - will ultimately come down to what funds allow! ;) :D

How's your PC going. I'd forgotten how neat your install was... really is a nice job mate!

Going great got my E6300 to 3.4ghz with that RAM you sent me, just lapped my CPU and Heatsink, im just gonna post the piccies in a new thread :)

Great stuff!

Can't wait to see it... glad the ram's doing a good job too! :)

Wow, 3.4 is a great clock! My 6600 will do 3.55 but it needs over 1.5v. I've left it at 3.2 - hopefully the SI-128 will yield better results. :rolleyes:

Seems ok although my E6600 is clocked at 3GHz (25% OC) and it idles at 30C with a Noctua NH-U12F. Fully loaded it reaches 43C-45C.

Hey mish,

My temps have always been high.

Scythe ninja, big typhoon, titan amanda... none really did that amazing.

My amanda is on my e6600 @ stock voltages and clocks. Idle in TAT is 34/36 - Full 100% load in TAT is 46/48. Not very cool at all considering it's not clocked at the mo! :rolleyes:

When clocked to 3.2ghz i was at 53/54 @ full load.

Heh, my 3800+ has been at 60degrees since ive got it, barely doing anything, i know it cant be right!!

It has got a massive core size though i suppose :P

Not put a foot wrong yet either :D

Mish, What voltage were you putting through it for 3ghz? Gt, yours maybe high because of higher voltage than mish just a thought

Stock volts 1.19v - FSB 333.

Thats not too bad gt, you have to also consider the airflow and quality of paste too. Also, remember that each batch is different.
 
Think im gonna re-seat my cooler as i installed it without taking the mobo out and it was a tight fit, ill report back in 15mins ish...
 
Mish, you set me off with your cpu at 1.19v ive got mine at 1.025v its great 23idle 29with 100% workload set in tat !!!!!!!! This is at 1660mhz tho (266x6)
 
Very nice ;) It seems mine isn't stock then, I never modified it either :confused: Have you tried Orthos and proper CPU speeds? Try my voltage first and then tinker. I'd be interested to see what yours is at my voltage.
