I just do 4Ghz, load 65'c only But the ram can't do 2000 even with CL11, I dont want to bump the voltage, risky rather get Dominator GT DDR2000 CL7 and then O/C till 2133 CL9? Well about the temp, maybe if you sponsor me something I could do 4.5

On top of that this poor ram having problem running 1900 9-9-9-24 1.65, memtest 4.00 5-6 passes but prime95 blend will fail in 5-10 minutes or if lucky 20 minutes. Fatal error rounding was 0.5, expected less than 0.4.

RAM or temperature?

how come your ram so suck? i tot it will have similar capabilities with mine

I dont know I need 1.7v to play

1866 8-7-8-22 1T

or

1900 9-9-9-24 2T

I wouldn't dare raise higher. Although this kit is CMT, latest revision hardly die... but I just dont wanna spend $$$ anymore if anything

your is version 2.1 or 2.2?
mine was also new CMG kits, it dont clock as well as old TR, it need higher vdimm to do same clock as TR.
but the best thing was it dont die easily

I need to pull out the stick, not sure which... currently doing prime blend

Actually new revision is not for extreme overclocking anymore unlike TR3...

hi guys ,..

its seem my new gigabyte a bit buggy using 4sticks of ram,,...

any gigabyte user here...cant seem to find the spread spectrum option here...

no matter what setting i do the pc crashes...maybe i need to wait for new bios..currectly p55 ud6 on f8 im using f7...sob sob sob

Want to ask, is intel H57 chipset really that good? better then p55?

i think P55 is the leader for H55 and H57 plus H series is for budget computing.

haih just got i7 860 and P55 MSI GD65. but havent overclock coz of busy with work. weekend will try my best for new system hehe.

gd65 is a breeze mobo to OC bro... just make sure u have a decent cooler for ur processor...

noob here, building i5 750 pc.
if i using ECS P55H-A blk mobo,
can i overclock with this mobo?

what do u mean by breeze here bro?


sure you can bro but what the matter is the capability of the board.

1. the board ur mention quite messy because the ATX 8pin is at the middle
2. the cpu location with ram location is so close. plus the dimm1 at the most close to the cpu
3. i can the traditional inductor used. there is two of it.
4. the layers i can see not many. you can see from the interconnection tracks.

that is from the physical. but from the electrical side, i dont know unless we test it. maybe it can turned out like the legend Biostar Tpower P45.

btw, I wanna ask something. what software do u all use to monitor the temperature on dimm?

u can but i think other brand will do better, such as biostar.

not all motherboard have can monitor vdimm from software unless u uses the overclocking software from the motherboard, which not accurate (just derive what u set in bios)
if u are using msi and asus(non rog), no hope in this

so the monitoring is depends on the sensor implemented on the dimm slot isnt it? if no sensor, no temperature indicator? because I'm using MSI P55 GD65. huhu

ok nvm. currently the psu i use is Gigabyte odin. I can use the probe it gave to sense the temperature. I really need to monitor the RAM temperature because I want to oc to its fullest capability.

erkkk bro if possible go for other brand.afaik ecs not a good oc board just mild only....

if ur gonna want to try oc get other big brand ..asus,msi,gigabyte,DFI,foxconn,biostar etc just MHO tho..

Anyone here with EVGA mobo? Can show some O/C result?

Hi.......new come~
my spec is I7 860, GIG p55-UD6 , 4G ram
it was hot when i oc it to 3.8GHz~

then looking for a pair power 120mm fan~
and it use for cool down the Coarsair H50....
any recommend?

Higher RPM, Higher CFM. Sycthe Slipstream 2000RPM, 110CFM?

finally a fellow i7 with H50 and gigabyte user...same setup bro...yup its hot u know y?gigabyte tends to overvolt ur proc to make the OC stable.. im thinking of modding my H50 also...custom reservoir and dual rad.. what ur temperature at 3.8ghz? i hit 4ghz and temperature were 94c Full load primed.CRAZY!!!! hot using dual fan setup wooo...

That is why I changed from H50 to Venomous X, The H50 is just good for the compact design, and cool enough to cool moderate OC. I'm just using i3, the temp is insane for me at 4GHz, 75'c prime blend. Maybe if the pair of tubes are long enough to take intake from the front, it might get cooler. Changing to heatsink rewarded me generously 10'c cooler

last time i hit it to 4.2ghz...ilde load 80++c
so now drop to 3.8ghz,but hot oso.... near 50c~(ilde)

then now u use dual fan oso hot like this??? 4ghz --->97c?

damn,better change back to air cooling~
