for this c2d, dual super pi 32m, loops of 3dmarks, occt also cant prove stability..

i passed all of them with flying colors but then i failed sp2004 after 5hrs!

450x7
ram 900 4-5-4-13
vcore 1.375 in bios (1.34 cpuz)
vdimm +0.2
vmch +0.2 - +0.3 all failed
vfsb +0.1
vpcie +0.1

pci e clock 101

EIST disabled

dunno what to do to make it stable prime at least 7 hrs. it's rare to have fail after 5hrs

any one that manage to hit 3.15ghz prime stable for 6hrs let me know! dual pi or 3dmarks loop are not problem for me, but i cant make it stable prime.. so sad..

err whats that ?

vcore stock..how bout vmch? it's not ur wall..sure can hit higher i did review at xs and most of them hit the walls between 420-480.. but got 2-3 people max at 3xx :-s and 2-3 people manage to hit 500..

thats great.just now i was priming at 3.15ghz for 5 hrs already then i opened cs 1.6, after 10-15 rounds my pc BSOD! haha damn

as i said earlier, whatever i do, i cant get pass 450fsb. when i set in bios, it will reset the oc and boot at 266x7.. if i set using easytuner, it will hang straight away..

but after change my sata hdd from gigabyte sata to intel sata, i manage to hit 452 =D ahaks eventhough it's only 2fsb, but it still proves to me that sthing can be done to make it go higher

here is the screenshot, dont bother bout the super PI result since i ran many application before i ran super PI.

451x7 set in bios. then increase 1 mhz more using software.

i believe the problem with DS4 is the bios.. in XS, people are saying DS3 is better than Dq6 in OC. bcoz many DQ6 users can reach high fsb like DS3 user..
and since DS4 can use DQ6 bios (both board is almost same), then i guess DS4 is worse overclocker than DS3.. hopefully ram timing, and few things will be improved in next bios..

rite now i ran my pc for 2-3 days @ 450x7, ram 900, vcore 1.375, vdimm +0.2, vmch +0.2, vfsb +0.1. no problem even when i played oblivion for 2hrs. but when i ran sp2004, it will hang. stimes after 5hrs, stimes after 5mins.. i also dunno why...

do u mean auto? for voltage?

well when i read other forum, i can say 450x7 is quite great.. a lot of people with retail c2d max at 3xx fsb.. and many of ds3 user hit the wall at 480fsb.

what is his advice? can u go further with it?

no lah. many people believe DS3 is better than DS4... and u keep saying ur board is not good enuff
look at rlhc :-" he's using DS3
OC is luck~

what's ur vcore set in bios? other voltage?
so sad my board for now max at 451 fsb in bios, and 453 in easytuner..

ds3. ds4 and dq6 has same bios option..

well, i'm not an expert, but i said using logic

anyway hopefully this can help u

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=109741

there are few peoples cant oc at all.. and again OC is luck

ok to all c2 user, plz let me know ur c2d stepping (what week), board used, max bootable in bios, max bootable in windows, and bios used.. and i mean bootable, not stable =D
i'm doing some research in order to find why most of us has different result (only me and austin has the nearest result)

use this format plz

C2D stepping (week):
Mobo Used:
Bios:
Max bootable in bios:
Max bootable using software:

thx!!

and let me start :

C2D stepping (week): 24
Mobo Used: Gigabyte DS4
Bios: F3b
Max bootable in bios: 451x7
Max bootable using software: 453x7 (did 500 once (windows hang) but perhaps that was the first and last? )

i guess pci-e 115 also no prob.. tried before and no problem

updated:

12hrs 30mins of dual prime + super PI 32m

3.1ghz 444x7 @ 1.375vcore
mushkin @ddr2 888 2.1vdimm

just try lah no harm trying

dont expect u can on to the max with ur stock vcore. come on man, u r an extreme rite? =D

446x7 @ 3.12ghz 1.375vcore (bios)
ddr892 @ 2.1vdimm

pass dual sp2004 @ 8hrs 35mins with super PI 32m running at the background for the last 20mins.

issit prime stable?

[quote=jarofclay,Aug 9 2006, 05:48 PM]Sometimes, I just begin to wonder about this obsession of priming for hours on end. I've had my X2 failing prime at 2.6ghz but never encountered a single hang with FEAR, Q4, Most Wanted, HL2, Oblivion and any other games I thrown at it. To me, as long as it can pass the benchmark; even if it fails prime for 5 or 6 hours, I consider that a successful benching speed.

Just my thought... unless you're planning to use your rig to build rockets that must have absolute precision.

well we have different kind of thinking. it's not an obsession, but i want to have a processor that is stable for 24/7 .. if u look at my oc, why did i spent lots of hours running prime at below 3.15ghz? eventhough i managed to do many things at 3.15ghz. it's bcoz i wanna find stable setting for daily use, not just for bench..

and i wonder why people so obsess about bench result? super PI? and all those synthetic 3dmarks?

i dont need to built rocket, if u r in animation rendering, where u r rendering 3dclips for the whole week without stop, u know what it means to have 10hrs of stability in prime..

source fr OP lyp

me usually don't prime only run superPI 32M,3D benching & games

good enough

well i understand, u r finding highest benchable clockspeed, but i am looking for highest stable 24/7 clockspeed.

i bet for those who believes 4hrs of 3dmark or stressful gaming + super PI is enuff, he wont manage to render 3d animation for the whole 1 day.


I used computer for both hobby and working, not just for benchies like u rich guys and that is why i'm asking about prime stable or not. if yes, i might be getting one also.

the score is sooo nice ! anyway do u oc ur 7900gt?

based on my exp.

4:5

cpu 2996, ram 1070 5-6-5-15 super PI 1m 19.344secs


1:1

cpu 3009 (0.43% faster), ram 860 (24.42% slower) 4-5-4-13 super PI 1m 19.609secs (0.265secs slower)

IMO, on intel platform 1:1 is still faster than using divider.

dont try f4e.. some killed their bios when flashing their board.

i suggest u to try using other vga card, even pci display card.. and see whether the problem is solve or not..

btw here is my 1st oc with my conroe e6600..

proc at 350x9 @ 3.15ghz

ram at auto (downclock @ ddr700), timing 4-5-4-15 (loose a bit bcoz dont want the ram to hold my cpu oc)

vdimm auto
vmch +0.2
vfsb auto
vpcie auto
vcore 1.375
