The Intel Quadcore Database

tsinc80697 · 18 Jan 2008 at 02:01

Primed for 5hours before, 1.4v @ 3.6ghz. Loads temps peaked at 50c I think.

Girlfriend started using firefox and the PC BSOD.

Any ideas? Seems to get 4-5hours prime then BSOD but Im not sure whether its due to someone using firefox or something else? Just strange how I can get near 6hrs on a lowly 3.6ghz then it dies on me!

Hi Tom whats your NB voltage?

tsinc80697 · 18 Jan 2008 at 02:10

i think 1.6v but im not 100% sure, Ill check back here tomorrow morning as I'm off to bed now, up at 9am

I've just got a quad and thought I'd try my hand at overclocking it. It's been a while as the last thing I overclocked was an Athlon 1800 XP !

After doing much reading around (these forums in particular) I've managed to get it to 3.2 and it's been running for the last 3 days with no problems at all. That's been mainly gaming (Crysis, TF2, STALKER and C&C3) and it's chucking everything around nicely.

However, when I run Prime 95 one of the workthreads always stops after about 1 minute. The other 3 keep going to completion, no problem, but this one that stops is niggling at me. Does this mean one of my cores is failing to cope or is it something less serious ?

Temps are absolutely fine btw, Idles at 28,28,38,38 and under prime 48,48,56,56.

What size cycle is it on? and what are you running your RAM at?

Would guess its a RAM issue, try dropping your RAM timmings (if you have done this! Raise you NB volts)

tsinc80697 · 18 Jan 2008 at 10:59

Ram timings are at 5-5-5-23
Prime is running small FFT's

I'm going to try another PSU today, Corsair 520w as my PC turned off yesterday then turned itself back on after 10seconds, did it again this morning when I turned all the fans down!

that is a nice PSU have one in my rig and never had any problems with it

That link to your 4ghz says you pumping 1.64v into the processor for 4ghz?? Is that 24x7 or only for test runs?

w3bbo · 6 Mar 2008 at 08:49

Just for test runs. I ran it 24/7 with 1.52v @ 3.8. That CPU is now sold though and I think I have a better one now - time/testing will tell

VoG · 6 Mar 2008 at 10:40

bought a s/h Q6600 in the mm a while back, gonna have a play & post my results soon.

VoG · 9 Mar 2008 at 10:29

nvm. latest results updated & further down

w3bbo why isnt my quad top of the pile ????

4.140 of 24/7 crunching power (been crunching of Xs WCG team since dec)

phase cooling

its on your pi charts ect get it sorted

or is mine excluded as i,m on phase 24/7 :eek:

Maybe because you havn't proven it stable? SuperPI is NOT a test of stability. Read the OP!

Its been running for 4 months solid not 8 hours

I,m gonna loose 8 hours production argh !!!!!

might as well set the target at 4.2 just to keep 1st in reach of people

then push it if someone comes close.
d/lin now

One thing tho core temp doesnt show minus temps it shows me always at 3 12 3 12 load or not.

yup, 8 hours prime small fft's is a killer!! my old E6600 ran for nearly 1 1/2 years with zero issues, I ran p95 small ffts and it flopped within minutes lol

Got it stable yet? Don't worry too much about the temps but I will have to quote what it shows I'm afraid.

Gonna be updating later
