yup, single channel. the insane speed and 1mb L2 cache really boost the super PI. kcync's northwood is quite high oc, i forgot how fast. 34s is cool

dont know now my bandwith as stated frm sandra is like 2.7K+ only so if i disable DC will it be able to go higher?lolz if not then im not touching my rams till my FMA returns

34 seconds in Northwood is equalavent to 4Ghz range. Remember he is using phase cooling Us air cooling can't even reach 4 Ghz, its going to the limits already

If you play around normally in desktop, you won't feel any difference, most of it will be in benchmarks. So if u disable your DC, expect lower scores then....

oh okay..how about gaming and other processor hungry apps like encoding vids and all that?will there be a significant difference if i disable DC? maybe i'll add in my old ram n make it 1.5gb

Vmodding need really expert work as it involves soldering work on board. I also not giong to try as i feel risky.Well increasing the Vdimm sure will boost more on RAM.

34s is preety fast.The fastest i can get on mine system is 38s with 3.712GHz with 1:1 divider @231FSB on my board. Using phase cooling only gives little boost on the PI result,that's hard to believe also.But Northwood will be max out at 4GHz,i guess that is the best he can done already.

disable DC will decrease the score for sure. i tried before, same speed it drop from 4k to 3k+a bit.
BTW, what you set for your "performance mode" in 'chipset' at BIOS?? MUST put enable to run DC, AUTO will most probably disable it. Thats my experience.

wao.....phase cooling . whats the cpu speed?

owh okay..i set mine to auto just now when running at 3-4-4-7 after some gaming came out BSOD "IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL" my default timing at DDR400 supposed to be 3-3-3-8 but cant even run at that rated timings

no wonder you hardly have DC la...

mine ddr400 my default spd on 400MHz, then it will be 2.5-4-4-8
currently running on spd at 2-3-3-6, prime overnight stable at 168*18

even on auto cpuz and everest show im on DC..now i've set the performance to enable edi any ideas why my rams cant even run at its default 3-3-3-8 timings?i damn dulan of my pc edi

I think the Vdimm is limiting you.Asus P4P800-X max at 2.68V.

yeah...already set mine to the max of 2.658v already iirc last time on my msi mobo i dint change the vdimm n can reach up to 2.88ghz [192.5mhz on rams]

i dont think is the vdimm, i face even weird case on this mobo, it wont boot at all if i set to 3-x-x-x on 1:1!!!!

but if the ram speed is above default, then its fine.

haihz..cant do much at my current situation..so shud i stick in another 512mb ram?is it better that way or its better to run DC with two KVR400s

For Vdimm mod, u need to solder a higher Ohm capasitor, like 300-450Ohm. As for droop mod, a bit tough.

Kcync's Northwood is over 4 Ghz (34 seconds man ), with phase cooling, over 4 Ghz is easy because your temp is below sub zero and you can increase the voltage to >1.9V without much problems.


Over 4 Ghz

better way?? put ddr400 ram at slot 1 and 3, enable the performance mode in bios. then your DC is on most probably. (dont curse me if it doesnt work that way )

if it doesnt change anything like DC cannot enabled or no oc improve at 1:1, then you can just run at 1.5GB ram. Just my cheap 2 cents

coooooool a vappo can easily do that. it is a rich boy toy, way to extreme.

anyone know how much a vappo chiller cost? the cheapest one will do.
haha

Seriously don't know dude, ask kcync

if i am not mistaken, it costs around 500RM plus plus

wah,you are going into phase cooling also? Need quite a lot $$ to spend for it.
