I just wanted to note, if your not listed in the list above, it's not because I don't like you or anything, this is just our teams top 20. I myself use this page to get stats like the above.


Good Job Team!

Hi dave!



I did some more testing on my OC. It's 100% stable at 3.46Ghz.
Temps are tolerable, but a little warmer then what I've been getting last day or so.

Good Job me!


Might as well quit while I'm ahead?

[nunyadam]

well that just ain't right, you have that thing clocked to 3.4 and it's at 54c I'm at 3.0 and it hits 60c

although I put that white thermal compound on it, and it seemed kind of thick, I wonder if I should use the Grey stuff,

that Grey compound seems thinner and more apply-able than the white stuff,

so what HSF are you using?

Dave make sure you lap the new heat sink. Even with Heat sinks that appeared to be lapped. then take the time to polish it to a mirror finish. Dremels make that quick and easy.

When it comes to Thermal compound less is more. 95% of the people use way to much. If it might have been thick it was thick. The extra compound actually acts as an insulator and traps heat.

scroll down to "Applying Arctic Silver 5:" at this link and look at how little they say to use. (and I'm still using to much myself. lol)

I did as little as possible of the white stuff but it is so thik it did not spread all that easy, I am going to go with the grey stuff,

[engracio]

KK,

Thanks for the heads up. I realized that when I saw the v droop myself. On any case I have brought it back down to 9x385=3465. When I had it at 9x389=3501 and 1.415 cpu volt the temp was hovering around 71c and it ventually kick off my bios alarm at 75c.

Dropped the cpu voltage 2 notches on this mobo to 1.375 and also dropped fsb to 385. Current temp now while running prime95 since I don't want to lose a wu on 76 step is 60-67c. Much better temp.

I'll mess with it and see what is the lowest stable cpu voltage I can run this box without rebooting or FAH wu error.

What happen to mrniceguy? Looks like he'll catch up with ps3 before I catch no1vern I think he put a cow or two within the last month and really cranked it up. No1vern on the other hand is not going to lay down and put another box online I think.

No matter as mr lips have said, Time is on my side yes it is.

[KarmaKiller]

I know mrniceguy was talking about a Quad a little bit ago. Maybe he got it up and running.

And what HSF are you running E? Stock?

[Cmptr-Gy-Dv]

ok you guys say it with me, (Dave you the man,)

I put the grey thermal compound on, and I did it with out taking the MB out,


so far it dropped the temps from 60c to 50c running F@H

[engracio]

Nah have the CoolerMaster 92mm HyperTX2. Got a couple of them when it was on sale from newegg with rebates. Not the most expensive but it does work for me.

[KarmaKiller]

ok you guys say it with me, (Dave you the man,)

The only thing I hear area crickets...

About time Dave! Now get to OCiing...

Also, I can pretty much tell you what setting you need to reach 3.2ghz-3.4ghz. I'm running a P35 board now too..

[Cmptr-Gy-Dv]

well I shot my pie hole off to soon

temps back up to 61c OC'd to 3.0

I guess I'm getting a new HSF before trying to go any farther

[KarmaKiller]

Morning all..
One of the cows stopped overnight, stupid windows update!

All is well now.

Off to work I go!
WEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....

[mrniceguy]

I got the quad cow in but my trend line is on the downswing atm, unfortunately on my gaming machine I've been having lockups so F@h is off it for the moment.

[engracio]

KK,

On your new open box mobo did you get lucky and got some peripherals instead of just a mobo. I wish they would send the backplate at least. i have a couple asrock 775 dualvsta which does have a backplate. It still works.

[KarmaKiller]

Hi all.
Yes, I was one of the lucky customers that got the full retail package with my open box board. I think the only thing missing is a USB PCI slot bracket, but with 6 USB's on the back of the board, and 2 on my case, I have more then enough.
But I will say I've ordered 3, well now 4 open box boards, and only 2 have them have come with everything. The others didn't even have the I/O shield, or drivers CD's, manuals, nothing but the board..

Yea , I've ordered 3 open box myself. All of them came only with the mobo. Lucky you.
