Nice ram you have there? Is it D9?
But a bit too high vcore for your processor IMO


-pWs-

yupz..its D9GMH
i guess 2.7ghz is the limit, my processor cannot go further..
for 1.7v, the temperature already exceed 60C

I didn't insulate because I though it would only be around 20-30C full load. It was when I stopped prime when temps took a major nosedive Then the IHS started 'sweating'...

My usual full load temp is around 53-55c, with the pelt it was still about the same (but idle was insanely low-15c and still dropping fast when I pulled the plug). Seems the pelt was being overloaded, more voltage needed to get its full cooling capability. But anyway, I'm going to test out with watercooling, hoping to see a difference-if none means the pelt is definitely overloaded.

Btw bro, your pelt also needs 15.2V. If you plug it into the 12v you'll probably get 50-60W only, not even enough to cool it at stock speed. At full 15.2v it might work out ok. A ultra high watt pelt is more useful in the sense that you can use voltage/PWM controllers to tailor it to your needs and running it below the rated voltage will still give sufficient cooling. My advice though, is to use speedfan to control the pelts via a power MOSFET relay.

I'm thinking of nabbing one of those 320w pelts from Garage Sales someday, but currently still busy with my first watercooling set. A bit of headache with it, because a fair bit of modding needed.

Guys,
Some issue here with my mainboard.hope anyone can give some advice.

i can only go up to 270 right now.Last time able to hit 280 hence...
its not stable either reboot itself or just wont boot.I believe Powerslide manage to hit 300+htt with the same board like mine.

my question is..what is wrong here? bios? mainboard?

arghhh crapness

Luck maybe....even though the same batch and same model, not all boards wit the same oc potential

I saw many topic ppl oc 3600+ and 3800+ but so hard to find a review or result of ppl who oc thier 4800+. Can some1 give any result of a 4800+ oc?

it make sense though.....huuuu

Eh is this proc and stepping any good? cz my bro in australia can get a bunch of this new boxed processor bcoz the warehouse wan to clear stock and probably will be able to get them for me at rm300 or 290

That's a 89W Windsor F2. Pretty hard to clock faster than 2.5GHz without a fair bit of voltage and good cooling. Price is nice for the spec though, but not worthwhile for overclockers-no thrill also cos it already starts at 2.2GHz, which is damned easy for any overclocker to achieve on that core.

How about ur ram position? Is it you plug to the slot near to cpu? If yes, try to change the ram position. Example, dimm1 to dimm2 and dimm2 to dimm1. Just a suggestion

I also seldom see ppl oc 4800+. Mayb is because due to the K8 achitecture will end oc near 3GHz and after 3GHz need a lot of vcore increment.


-pWs-

So would it be a good idea if i were to take them in? like say i pay and bring in 5 or 10 units? x_X??




Yea, try like wut pws said, i moved my ram from dimm 1 to dimm 2 and dimm 2 to 1...get better OC ....but i got them even better when i brought them to dimm 3 and 4 ...so conclusion is, dimm slot got affect your oc =b

Its up to you, but frankly, those chips are poor choice for overclocking due to cost effectiveness as cheaper, lower spec chips will also achieve the same overclocks. Sell them to non-overclockers, they will appreciate the lower price of RM300 or below (must be retail boxed units though). Btw, this is going off topic..discuss it elsewhere..

yea, dont think its such a good idea =/

anyway, how come i lost my partition on both my seagate and wd including all the looooong hours of torrenting, anime, movie, passowrds, documents and other hard to find stuff*hint hint*....i boot in, it says disk error, then i try 2 use windows cd to check, it says unpartitioned space for both the HDD's

all these was coz of i tried bumping the ram up to 2.3v x_X??

any ideas why it bcame like this and anyway i can recover the data or part of it?....

ps. the recovery might be a little off topic, but please, if u know anything pls tell me.

Either your motherboard chipset or the Hypertransport was overclocked too high, or the SATA clock for that particular socket is not locked-the problem does not appear immediately but takes a while before it can be noticed (more on this below). I had the same problem also-I was lucky the drive could still be read, though with frequent lockups. But it was definitely damaged-testing it on another system revealed numerous read problems even though the drive had never overheated and and no bad sectors.

In the case of an unlocked SATA clock, there is no choice but to try another SATA port. In early K8 days, motherboards were notorious for having unlocked SATA ports, which even a few DFI Lanparty's were plagued with. Sometimes some of the ports are locked, and some are not. If all are not locked, then too bad-the board is going to hold back overclocking or be unstable no matter what.

Here's a problem most overclockers here don't know-none, yes none, of the stability tests we use actually test things other than the CPU, ram, memory controller and graphic core and memory. On AMD's K8 processors (754/939/AM2) its particularly difficult to know if the motherboard chipset is unstable during overclocking until it is severe enough to cause a system lockup because the memory controller (which is usually the first component on an intel CPU-based chipset to give up) for K8 isn't on the motherboard chipset. If the chipset is slightly unstable, say the SATA controller isn't working 100% stable, it won't be obvious until it bungles up a crucial read/write operation(eg windows kernel, or worse, file table/partition table), and the usual non-fatal read/write errors will go unnoticed because of the uncountable bugs found in windows.

And this is only the beginning-the motherboard chipset also controls USB, PCI/PCI-E, LAN, Sound; pretty much everything else other than what the processor, graphics, memory does. Even if the PCI/PCI-E clock is locked, the chipset still is effected because it must relay the data over. So you can't say the chipset is 100% stable until you can be sure that all the motherboard functions work 100%, which to my knowledge is a pain to check everything.

About your data, I'm sorry to say this-if the partitions have disappeared it will probably not be possible to recover it without substantial effort (especially if you have done any write operations on the disk since the disaster). I personally have had to deal with 120+160+120+160+80GB worth of data recovery, and even with professional help I can tell you it wasn't easy nor was it a complete recovery.

To all overclockers, if this is discouraging-keep this in mind. If you keep backups and are willing to put up with occational system lock ups, overclocking is still rewarding-we are getting high end performance out of cheap stuff, in some cases even getting performance money alone can't buy . Not to mention all the fun we've had tweaking everything to perfection

guys, what is the clock used to lock the pci ?

i Had a problemm... can anyone help me??
OCing error

PCI is 33Mhz and PCI-e is 100Mhz. Hope this helps u


-pWs-

But i kept the HTT multi at 4x which after multiply is less then 1000mhz =(
Abit kn9 ultra wor...the 250gb was a IDE drive....the seagate is sata 2....new one summore..i bought together wif the office equipment =(.....can the HDD die bcoz of this?

i google ade...but i cant find anything about how to lock my kn9 ultra socket....and cant find if it IS locked already=(

can help me with it? =(

ps. i did not write anything to the HDD's yet...nw using an spare 40gb ide >_<

ok.ill try to change slot.....and see how is the result..
