You people don't make me jealous la....

Wait I go buy one 3800+ x2 then only you know......

I tot you want go for quad core later

Ya lo. But I don't think it will be around the July 22nd Intel price drop either.

I will only change rig once my current rig can't play new games. As of now, I can still play all available games and there are no DX10 games.

Probably when there are more DX10 games and multicore-supported games will I only go for quad-core.......

Just jokingly saying that maybe I wanna get one 3800+ x2 to compete with you guys because your proc is so damn !!!!

Anyway, just to console myself, I'm now running 2.72 Ghz, 1.375v at core temp 51-52'c running folding SMP client. Yes, yes, I'm happy with my proc

buy why is fahremote detects yours as 2.2g?

anyway, cant do much with my 1st rev mobo. limiting my oc.
i'll juz stick to it until it no longer can play games at all.
spending more monies on it is not a wise idea

I'm overclocking from windows.

Wise choice. I'm also sticking to this rig till the end. Not planning to buy anything else until my next major upgrade.

3 of you using Max FFT= 32 ?

I can pass the prime no problems, but with folding i got lots of errors meaning its not stable. So do u think its a good test ?

Using Max FFT = 512k i do get errors at the same setting. I will try stressing the proc with Gromacs and see how.

So far, I orthos using the default setting (Small FFTs - stress CPU).

Not too sure about the recommended setting as I never used it before (i.e. min FFT 8k, max FFT 512k, check run FFT in-place and time to run each FFT size - 1min). However, I see it is recommended by some......

Yup, because it stress the proc much more compared to preset settings.

i got a MSI nF4 mobo wif 4GB Corsair VS RAM and AMD X2 3800+... wif GeCube Radeon X550... when play NFSMW the car go 2 fast and a bit jumpy... y is it like tat...? if i decrease the graphic quality the car will "fly"... when play LAN always got mismatch and got kicked... is this y AMD is losing out...?

bro, it's more on ya gfx fault, dun think amd chips have problem runnin any game smoothly, even now d chips from blue camp are leadin. those what shown in synthetic benchy doesn't mean much in real life applications.

Eh? You mean the timing is faster than normal or are you having speedups and slow-down on the gameplay? What is the meaning of too fast then a bit jumpy?

Check out this thread : http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/452095

This is caused by your network speed, not the processor.

something new show up, notice any difference?
next step, maybe 3GHz

better temp bro? u got d ihs removed?

Eh? How do you lower your core temp so much? I thought you're core temp was >60'c ?????

What is the cfm of you fan again?

or using watercooling????????

same fan, no sure the cfm, but 2600rpm.

bingo, you're pro, so fast can guess currect already.

refer to my sig, no wc kit

WOW! You removed the IHS!!! Now that's what I call an extreme overclocker!!!

AFAIK, it is not that easy to remove the IHS. You run the risk of damaging the proc, right?

Anyway, I'm stuck at 2.74 Ghz at 1.40v. My core0 always fails....

BTW, how high can we go on the vcore? Any tips?

Edit : Since you're into OC, why not go WATERCOOLING???

i wish i cud have d guts to remove it too, but my chip is retail one, so abit "sayang" if have it naked.

no money la... custom build wc kit quite expensive, not less than RM600 i think

haha...why not let go your current E4 and get the E6 from elhh82? I just sold my E4 last week @ RM360
