Wow! Unbelievable!

What cooling are you using? What is the temperature for core0/core1?

Aiyaa.... maybe should get a better cooler than my noctua. My proc running at 2.69 Ghz (stock vcore) in air-con room already 52/56'c...... (and it is the same toledo core!)

I guess that's true cause I can feel air blowing from the side of the fan that is supposed to be sucking in air!!!

Thx for the tip!

Going to change mine and see. Just that the retention clips are a pain to remove....

Ok will try it and see....

Question : If an OC computer is unstable at folding, will it affect the calculations in folding? Will the client detect error in the data and recalculate?

OIC. Hmm..... that would be a waste if you have folded almost till the end and the work unit just end there.....

Wah, good OC man!!

And your TCaseMax also higher!

Wah, core temp at 63'c.....

If mine nearing 60'c already (but my tcasemax is only 65'c )

Do you make any tweaks to get it that high? I though you reach max 2.8 Ghz?

My TDP is 71.9w as shown in Core Temp.

Since your 3800+ can reach so high, makes me wanna push my proc further...... but just that the temperature is holding me back...... keeping my core temp at 55'c max for now....

I've tried to push my proc to 2.75 Ghz at 1.35v but failed orthos after a while (core temp max about 57-58'c).

Think I should increase the vcore some more? Any tips?

Ya, was thinking of doing that. Was actually happy with 2.69v at stock core until you showed me your 3800+!!!!

Anyway, will try it another day. Trying to meet my SMP folding deadline first!!!

Ok. I've increased the vcore to 1.40v. Orthos at 2.75 Ghz but temp went up to 58-59'c.....

I think I'll just keep it at 2.69 Ghz at stock for now la......

I just bought the cooler!!! 2 weeks old.

At orthos, 2.69Ghz at stock vcore will run at max core temp of 55'c.

Folding SMP now at 2.65 Ghz at stock vcore at 51'c.

BTW, I was wondering, since SMP client is unstable, can't we just copy the SMP client folder to a backup file once in a while?

I mean, intermittently backup the SMP folder. If anything happens, just run the backup SMP folder!!! @uzairi - what do you think?

Anyway, have to stop folding now. Going to sleep.....

64/70'c

Wow. You're really pushing the proc huh!

I'm tempted and encouraged by your efforts! Thought I stop at 2.69 Ghz but since your proc can go so high, I'm going to push mine too.

Now orthosing at 2.76 Ghz at 1.40v at 51/56'c....... I think I'll aim for 2.8 Ghz first. Hope to reduce the vcore once burn in done....

Guess my proc not that good. Tried 1.375v at 2.76 but orthos failed.

Cool! Errr... what's your proc again? What cooling? Core temp?

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

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

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

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.
