Since everyone else is taking the week off making a new thread, I'll cover it.

Also so Engracio can show off his newly OC'd setup..

Karma started a thread? That explains the Tornado Warning.
Most of my herd is shut off for the next couple hours due to the afore mentioned storm. Round one over, round 2 on its way.

Be safe Nunya.
I know that feeling all to much. Although lately we've been lucky and dodged the big storms it seems..

Cmptr-Gy-Dv · May 30th, 2008, 09:27 PM

thunderstorms here to, so far just girly storms, all noise

KarmaKiller · May 30th, 2008, 09:31 PM

It's actually really nice here. 82° and sunny, with about a 20MPH wind..

(It's nice I actually get to brag about OUR weather for once. Normally we have the crappiest/most active weather in the nation.)

Hey KK,

You are right about the v droop on this mobo. On the bios I got it up to 1.375v but on cpuz it barely shows 1.325v

Unfortunately I only got it to 9x340=3060mhz. I don't think I want to increase the voltage and fsb since it is within my cpu temp tolerance. I'm running prime95 on all cores right now and see if she is stable before I start crunching. Maybe in the morning if it is still running fine.

An oc is better than no oc.

All clear here.

What??? I did not feel it.

j/k Glad you guys made safe and sound.

Got lucky yesterdays storm that went by just north of us. The season is young so we'll see.

Are you just running a stock cooler on that E? Or are you running the coolermaster?
What are your temps?
Really, you can take your chip up to lower 60's, and it'll run fine. Absolute max is 72°c. Same with the v-core. Max most go on air is 1.5v. On H20 I've seen people running 1.6-1.7volts, which is damn scary if you ask me.
The only reason I get as good OC as I do on my boards with V-droop is because I up the v-core A LOT. But really, if your think about it, if they never hit the set v-core in BIOS, then your fine right?
On my EVGA board, my v-core is set to 1.53v, in windows at idle it shows 1.42, and under load it actually goes up (

) to 1.46.

Yeah, I just finished a flight from O'Hare in Flight simulator and using downloaded weather from jeppesen, I had thunderstorms in the game, even lightning!. I never seen lightning in flightsim. before.
