Nice! What stepping is that!? And cooling?

Stepping there cooling is Phase (Chilly1 402a Built by Gray Mole)

Stepping where? I hoped you were using air or water, phase is cheating you know!

Heres a newbie question for y'all, how do i change from 2T to 1T??? i take it its an option in the RAM settings in BIOS but would it have another name cos i can't see it anywhere?! :confused:

I got a DFI Lan Party Ultra-D

any help would be swell, as fast as poss pls

Holy thread hijack. Browse the bios, I got the same mobo yesterday and found the option quick enough.

I have bought Mr.Mister's Mach II and I have a X2 3800 and hopefully a better clocking one on the way - I haven't got very far with it as my motherboard has died taking a Gig stick of Geil and a stick of Corsair XMS of my friends that he doesn't know I borrowed yet.

Mach 2GT?

Same mobo as me too. I sense a challenge.

Mr Mister · 18 Jun 2006 at 21:39

Unlucky with the mobo cody, when you get it all up and running and a new chip you have to do me proud with the clocks

Weescott tis a mach 2 GT

lol its not a thread hijack at all its a related question to the x2 3800, i just thought it would better than starting yet another "Hi noob question alert x2 3800" thread. You could just tell me, as you know the answer.

weescott · 18 Jun 2006 at 21:50

Genie bios / Dram timing / CPC off.

Bones · 18 Jun 2006 at 22:06

thanks i would never have found that, as it is called something completely different!!

ThermalRight SI-120 and delta tomorow

hmm perhaps you could add another colomn to the table with maybe a superpi score then u can see how much an over clock improves the time, i for sure would like to no what 2.6 gets or high , to compare to mine

but, just s suggestion

Its hard mate as Ram plays such a big factor., It would mean faster clocks will be getting beaten by faster/tighter ram etc etc.

I like the idea, but it would be too hard to actually get the information really. Most of the data in the table was compiled from the other 3800+ thread. To actually get people to post (and some have left / been banned anyway) all their Pi times would be a mission. That's quite apart from the RAM speed and timings etc.

However, this has been mentioned before, so we'll see what other people say

matt100 · 19 Jun 2006 at 17:46

I couldn't help you there.. don't have the chilly1 anymore..

I think superpi times are a bit irrelevant anyway, so many tweaks give it a leg up its as much down to the tweaking power as the cpu power.

Bones · 22 Jun 2006 at 00:58

ok been having a go with my 3800 got it to:

CPU Clock: 2600Mhz
HTT: 260
RAM FSB: 187
Timings: 3, 3, 6, 7 CAS2 1T (Corsair PC3200 C2PT)
VCore: 1.4V
HT: 4x
Core: Manchester
Cooling: Therm SI-120 and 120mm Delta
Mobo: DFI Lan Party Ultra-D

super pi in 34 secs

temps

CPU = 28 idle 38 load
System = 38 idle 41 load

Gonna test full stability tomorow, i noticed that everyone over 2.5ghz is running on 3x HT, is it ok to be running on 4x still?

I was knocking off 2 seconds for every 100mhz increase. Is 34 seconds any good?

You should be running at 3x HT Multi now...

FSB x HT Multi <= 1000

... as a rule

UPDATED TABLE

weescott · 22 Jun 2006 at 19:52

Doh!! I forgot to add my newest clock:

I'll put it in later on - going for a swim. I take it this is to be highlighted red?

weescott · 22 Jun 2006 at 20:12

Ohhh yes. Windows stable.

WR for a X2 3800 Toledo is 3.36 IIRC, and I have loads of volts to play with. hehehehe
