auto de... the ram is default @ DDR667 mar... so mar 333MHz lor

Evogenix

1.45Vcore, and thats just for SPI benchmarking
Acually the ds3 still got a bug they havent fix, when ever you set the fsb end with xx5, it will auto droped to xx4, eg 475-> 474, 495->494

I set 495fsb in BIOS and it become 494fsb "

for me, F7 is the best BIOS for ds3 so far. I tested F4 and F6, both BIOS wont allow me to break the 475fsb wall.

most of user are gigabyte owner, I havnt see any using MSI yet, I guess who gonna answer your question..

good results, lets see, if the temp allow, increase more fsb and fixed the Vcore, until it not stable.

Evogenix

just re-mod my ds3, got alots of pictures coming up

changed my water cooling pump to swiftech MCP655, lets see how this baby gonna do with my setup.

btw, I found out that the yellow ram slot is more overclockable than the orange slot. I cant stable at 480fsb with orange slot, but can prime with the same setting on yellow slot So, my advice to those that oc-ing using ds3, do use the yellow ram slot =)

Evogenix

auto = 2.1vDimm, default = 1.8vDimm, if +0.1 = 1.9vDimm

Evogenix

for 24/7 setup, recommanded loaded temp not above 65C

Evogenix

you already knew the answer for your asked question (and you stated the cause as well )

There is no fixed results for watercooling. Its all based on your configuration setup. For my self customized WC set, i get 5-10C lower than my previos air cooling (Thermalright xp120)

Evogenix

If I not mistaken, the ET5 read the temp sensor from the board while TAT/ CoreTemp read it directly from the core. Thats why ET5 got lower around 10C if compared with TAT/ CoreTemp.

So, for more accurate temp reading, use TAT/ CoreTemp instaed of ET5.

Btw, please dont keep asking,
"Which 1 do you think more accurate... TAT or CoreTemp???"
The CoreTemp just 2-3C higher than TAT, which make no diff to me. If you want a 99.5%+ accurate temp reading, get a temp sensor, and place it ontop your proc, thats it.
For those that dont know what I'm taking, here is a pic.
Dear amok, pinjam pic ya...


(All my temp reading are refered to CoreTemp)
"And whats the safe temp to run your C2D???"
If you benchmarking, I dont think 70C will kill your proc in a few minutes. But, for long runs, eg 24/7 folding, its better to remind you temp around 60-65C (of coz, if you can get lower its better).

Whats the BEST Vcore for C2D???
There is no BEST Vcore for you. Just start from 1.325Vcore and increase the voltage when your oc-ing is not stable. for 24/7 running, its recommanded to run VCore < 1.5v, benchmarking <1.6v. The best solution for you to find out whats the temp you gonna stick with is, Look at your core temp reading. If you felt its enuff for your setting, then stop increasing the Vcore, coz

gv me 5 but i stuck at 495fsb.
I guess is the vMCH limitation

Evogenix

1.5vMCH mana cukup makan o??? 1.6Vcore oso cant help me boot into 500fsb. 99.9% is the vMCH problem. "


oredi lossen to 5-8-8-23, cant lossen anymore or else system wont boot at all


if your oc-ing failed, the ds3 will auto self-booting until its default value back. For me, I just continue the oc-ing without clearing the CMOS (unless the self-booting continuly wont stop for 5 minutes, then reset your CMOS). I encounter the F7 BIOS stuck me in the self-booting progress and wont start my PC, I just reset CMOS. Thats all, problem solved.

nice temp there for your e6600, tried 4GHz?

Evogenix

I guess you get your temp reading from et5 as well?

Evogenix

you can try every Vdimm that available and find which of it suitable for your RAM. I dont think 2.5Vdimm can kill the RAM that easy

for me F7 increased my oc-ing capability, I saw some ppl felt F6 better than F7. So, its better to try your self out, and make your own decision on which BIOS fit you better.

its d9 chipset right?

Evogenix

not putting the pump above that zippy??
27C v nice temp o... I think loaded temp shouldnt above 30C oso

Evogenix

woot... finally, started to break 3.4GHz edi
keep it up bro, you can do better than that
by increasing vCore might help your stablity.

Evogenix

proc overheat?
try put full speed on your CPU fan, blow with table fan or whatever cooling methods, and kasik naik your vCore

Evogenix

i just like my temp
33 for system, and
60 for CoreTemp (dual folding)

Evogenix

simple, yet efficient mod
how is your temp after reapplied as5?
mine @ 33-34C on loaded @ +0.3v vMCH

Evogenix

yup. Almost same like yours


I think 40C is just nice for 24/7. You dont need to spent extra $ just to reduce the 1-2C on the NB.
