okay me again wif the questions

the pic above, please focus on the top red circle
now look alittle left towards the black molex

according to the manual
it is use to supply 12v to the pcie card-depending to the system requirements

now... do i need to connect the molex
or just let it be

now using a xfx 7600gt ....
*
Hiya,

Me using the same mobo as you...No you dont need to connect that black molex.

My north bridge also got quite hot when i was using a 945 a couple of weeks back and that proc only managed to overclock to around 3.8ghz. My northbridge was aroun 60 degrees.

now using back my 805d and the north bridge is around 48 degress, guess it get warms the higher you clock your fsb.

ur using a 930 rite? I read that thats one highly overclockable proc.. thumbup.gif

not on my case  cry.gif  cry.gif  cry.gif

max oc is ~3.4ghz

In the Gigabyte Bios, there is this Option called High Performance, try enabling that..what it does is;

- increase the vmem to 2.1
- increase the fsb volt dunno by how much
- and others which I've not discovered yet

after enabling it I am able to get a stable 3.9ghz on a 805.

give it a go....

woot!! shocking.gif

your PD 805 can go 3.9GHz..
whoa.. i might try this..
im also using GA-8N-SLI.. but a PD 820 as a CPU..
maybe can reach 4.0GHz.. drool.gif who knows..

by the way, what kind of HSF do u use?
zalman, thermaltake, or just the noisy stock fan?

edit:
1.what's your temp, idle and full load?
2.owh, just found out that u r using the gigabyte cooler.. sweat.gif
*
My idle temp is around 37-38C and full temp load with 2 instances of prime95 is around 56-58C, it doesnt hit the thermal throttle limit of the CPU thumbup.gif

Have you started to overclock your 820? whats your max overclock?

I'm trying to hit 4Ghz but I think its my ram holding me back, rated only ar 667Mhz so its pretty overclocked at the present fsb of 780Mhz, I'm running a 1:1 divider for the memory.

i see..my idle temp is also around that, 37-38C..(i checked using everest ultimate edition)..im using stock cooler by the way..

but i might change to the gigabyte cooler..
after that then i'll OC my cpu..
i'll try it by the way..and will post the result here..

just curious, how do u check your cpu temp?
using what software ar?
*
Yeah you better change to aftermarket cpu cooler, the stock cooler just doesnt cut it, especially the variable fan speed sensor, mine was going cuckoo once i overclocked it, the fan speed kept on speeding up and slowing down...weired... shocking.gif

I am using MBM 5 but you can also using Everest to monitor the temps, you should also have installed a utility to monitor for CPU throttle when ur doing your load testing after overclocking.

Good luck buddy.. thumbup.gif

AS5 needs a couple of days to set (2-3). I noticed my temps dropped a lil bit after its set....

BTW what is the FSB and memory speed which your running at?

Here's my latest OC:

Core speed 3336.7 MHz
Start priming 2238 Hrs

Idle temp 38-40 C
Load temp 50-52 C

Priming ended 2300 Hrs
Stable, 0 error 0 warning


That' s it for now. I think my southbridge oledi burnt. Cuz suddenly can't use all USB ports and integrated sound is not working either. doh.gif

Now I'm using a 4-port, pci-to-USB card and a USB soundcard..  wink.gif

Maybe i OC too much before, pumping excessive volts to the mobo. sweat.gif
FSB reached 953 MHz.
PD 805 user (x14 multipier) shoud get around 3.8GHz oledi but me with PD 820 (x14 multiplier) only can get 3.34GHz..  doh.gif
*
Bro, hows ur southbridge now? did you pump up the fsb voltage?

You can try to lock the pci freq and downclock ur memory and pray for higher fsb smile.gif

Threadstarter, you're lucky enough that you are able to use you're Pentium D 930 pc now... rclxms.gif

Why?
Because since the day i've bought my Pentium D 930 + ASUS P5WD2-E Premium [975X Chipset] [Bought from "Linkeong"], there's always a problem of heat...
[I'm using Thermalright XP120 with Vantec UV 120MM Led Fan + Arctic Silver 5]

In stock speed, the temperature for the processor was 91Degrees!!! sweat.gif
And the northbridge in 15degrees... doh.gif

I know there's something wrong with that motherboard, the temperature sensor chip is faulty...

There i go, to CYCOM, send the motherboard for warranty claims...

I know you guys are going to say "Why didn't u complaint to Linkeong?"

It's useless, he's in IPOH, and it's going to take some time to ask him to claim warranty from CYCOM...

So there i go claim the warranty by myself...

And now, it's already a month after sending the board for RMA... sweat.gif
Every friday, i keep calling CYCOM RMA Center asking about my board, and what they've told me that it's going to take another 2 - 3 week before my board is ready... doh.gif
*
Oh sorry to hear about your pain shawnty....i was also bidding to buy the 930 proc off linkeong last time..... hope you get your mobo back from rma soon thumbup.gif

it has 3 option right? Auto, Linked and Expert..
i use the expert one, but it seems like it is somehow "linked" .. sweat.gif
how's my SB? kong oledi.. rclxub.gif
will send this mobo out for rma later this month, maybe on the 24th (the shop said can claim) and hopefully can get them once next semester start.. i holiday 1month start this 25th .. thumbup.gif

Poor south bridge, I think it could be a manufacturing defect as the south bridge doesnt get as warm as the north bridge...our mobo's north bridge can get pretty toasty... laugh.gif

Well happy RMA'ing buddy

now able to get 3.68gig stably
tried upping until 3.85gig but quite unstable

and the north bridge area temp increases from 50 to 60!!!
more cooling are required.....

Bro,...Wow...60C is kinda hot for the NB...maybe stick a fan to blow air over ur zalman nb hsf..

You counterstrike also?? Which server? nick?

what gfx ur using? 570 to 640 is a pretty big jump, why dont u try smaller jumps?

I increased my PCIE voltage to +2, it helps in system stability, previously i left mine at 0 and was getting kinda unreliable 4ghz overclocks, now running it at +2 and able to get 4.1ghz overclocks on water blush.gif

ur gfx core is independent of ur cpu core, weired...which tool are u using to overclock ur gfx core clocks?


QUOTE(mcchin @ Dec 1 2006, 12:49 PM)
currently very busy wif work
and counterstriking tongue.gif

so not much time to tweak my system

it is just that
when i tweak the graphix too much
(from default 570++ to 640 - core)
i will get hang-ups (blue screen of nvdisp_dll error)
and no artifact show up at all

so any body here tweak the pcie voltage b4?

plus one more quirk
when i oc my proc to 3.6
my graphix will oc along as well to a default 628 core automatically...

hmmm... weird...
