Updated with the F4 BIOS, and finally I can OC! Phew!

Running two instances folding client @ 2.4Ghz! RAM at loose timing, and vcore vdimm at stock.

just refit my HSF again, the temp drop to below 50 when idle....

nice.. if i remember correctly, when i still use the stock HSF, my temp kinda lower than urs.

Perhaps, I think so. Because the latest BIOS fixed the VGA incompatibility issues.

I'm glad, so you guys have wait for me!! This makes me to be back to OC arena again.

my processor is damn hot on stock hsf

ur is aircond room?

IDLE or FULL LOAD?

seems like oc on giga mobo hv been solved by the latest bios?? seems like a great news

didn't switch on my air-con during that time

that temp was after i quit 3Dmark 06, should be quite high even it is on full load

same as my situation loh.....I getting table fan to blow on the whole board soon

what's your OC settings currently?

yeah u're rite, but the main thing in rendering is cpu..




not necessary so.. core 2 duo retail cpu is well known for having a concave IHS. that means the contact between the IHS and the core is poor. and that is why u see temp in CoreTemp is high but the heatsink is not hot.

last time i believe core temp was wrong as well.. but rite now i feel coretemp is the real core temperature. why, bcoz my IHS is concave, the artic silver on my c2d remain the same even after 1 week...
and if u read thread in XS, many of them are already know this is true.

great! tak sia2 u waiting ..

nope. i dont have air-con in my room
tat wan i OC wif stock vcore

onli lastweek manage to get LGA bracket for my previous XP-90
now im runnin' on it

irenic, the cpu may render it but the gpu still has to feed it instructions right (maybe wrong)?

Anyway if u switch the AMD's 7800 to the 1900 i think the difference for time to render will be less between the 2 systems.

Well try it out of u have the time.

yups the difference will be less.. maybe -2secs?

@gengstapo, whats ur temp with xp90, both using easytuner / speedfan and CoreTemp?

16 seconds breached with TG DDR2-667 at 490MHz 4-4-4-12 2.1v only, E6300 at 3.43GHz. Settings is Vdimm +0.3v, PCI-E normal, FSB +0.2v, Gmch +0.3v, Vcore 1.425v
I hope all the TG owner would be very pleased with this....

my fren with DS3 got some problem

1. Cannot boot without CD in the CD-ROM drive. Will freeze at post screen. Will boot like normal only when there is a CD (any CD) inside the drive.
2. Cannot overclock from BIOS. Setting will reboot to default speed. Overclocking is only possible through software in Windows. The only thing can change in BIOS is just the RAM divider and timing. Any changes to the FSB (not even 1MHz) is possible through BIOS.

DS3 has been flashed to D4.

nice temp you got, what HSF you are using?
