i i just got my c2d rig yesterday. Try to oc it but cant really catch the idea. need some help wink.gif

E6400 - 400 x 8

fsb +0.1
gmch +0.1

vcore 1.35v

Run two sp2004: one in small.. test CPU, one in large.. test RAM

CPU - no problem; RAM - Failed in 46 seconds.

Temperature: 57~59(idle), 77~78(prime)

Any idea and suggestion guys?

Can you specify what memory and timing are you running, try Orthos instead.... I assumed you are using 1:1 at DDR800, try to increase a notch of Vdimm and retry Orthos Large FFT. Good luck

i am using Mushkin 1GB PC800 5-5-5-18 (from cpu-z). Yes i am using 1:1 at DDR800.

ok i will try Orthos later

Hm.. any idea?

You don't have to run two copies of Orthos, just run one copy is good. What is the Vdimm applied? Try tighter timing instead.... Probably 4.0-4-4-12 at 2.0v or 2.1v

hw much vdimm u feed?

waiting yehlai screenie of tat fantastic ram
of cz my hynix cant compare wif ur micron

oh.. ok sory still newbie. but still failedin one copy.
Vdimm +0.1v.
ok will try later

Vdimm +0.1 means.. 1.9v? default at 1.8v right?

Screenie for D9 chips RAM 3-4-3-4 @1087.5Hhz
i failed to run @3-4-3-3 now... maybe need +vMCH.




This post has been edited by yehlai: Nov 10 2006, 06:19 PM

yeah. by default ddr2 voltage was 1.8v

Try increase yr Vdimm =+0.3 and Vcore to around 1.375 or even 1.4..Remember to lock yr PCI freq to 100MHz ....Use TAT to measure CPU temp...

I think the CL3 is a bug. Can you try to run 1:1 with that FSB and run Memtest?

ok thanks

do i need to increse the pci-e, fsb and mgch overvoltage things?

U had to try yr own on that...I suggest leave all to normal first...changing too much variable will confuse U more...

P/S: Interested to know yr temp @ TAT...do let us know ya?

This post has been edited by mikelanding: Nov 10 2006, 06:30 PM

bro..how u set tras to 3?
whe i set tras to 4 in ds3 last time..it show 9 in cpuz

ok. i am now trying to prime it at all default including the cpu and ram. see whether orthos fails o not. this is the tat's temp.

Orthos still running now. phew~

Wow...hot hot . ...66C at Default vcore =1.325v? if yes, U might need to do something on the stock HSF...

@Tampoi
its not bug.. actually FYI tht setting is not stable one.. Failed Prime test.
I tried 1:1 setting before.. but my E6300 cant go beyond 437fsb. So i have run 2.5 multipler try to 'burn in' my ram with +0.6vDimm because i dunno how to use memtest.. dont have floopy drive too..

errr...that is not a proper way to burn in yr ram.
For memtest (window) just run 2 instance, choose "All unused RAM"
For memtest86+ (DOS), U can boot into DOS using USB thumbdrive...

u set it manually for all those 3-4-3-4? can run 1:1 @ DDR500?

@tampoi
i think we can use software to push it higher to 500mhz++ haven really got time to try it may be u can try first. but mine can go up quite high but its really unstable... (not worth trying thou)

nothing special, just wanna repair my current time



ps : all spec still the same as earlier

yeah.. i think something wrong on my HSF. How u all apply the thermal paste on the processor? maybe my method was wrong..

Yeah, that's very hot... Maybe you should try to get the temperature right first before trying to push the proc... I would use the TAT's function to load both the cores cause they produce a higher max temperature compared to running 2 Super Pi or Prime

Make sure you apply enough to cover the entire processor's heat sink, evenly spreaded out with a card, the coating should be evenly distributed with a thickness of probably 0.5-1mm. Thermal paste often require up to 1-3days to 'dry up' to reach maximum performance... BTW, also make sure that the screw of the HSF is properly locked on the back of the mobo (sometimes it doesn't go through the screw hole properly) and secured in the lock position.

i am running the tat so stress both core. both shows highest 72c at default.

i think my method applying the thermal paste was wrong guah. if have a pic of how to applyin the tp would be nice

and idle at stock is about 48-50c

hot ka?? i dont thinks so. on air cooling it should be normal
same as mine here :

got 2 methods i know off:
1) AS5 official guide which I normally use AS5 application guide
2) Other method is "In the center of the cpu heatspreader, put a drop of thermal paste the size of one bb. Then just squish it down with the heatsink, lock your heatsink in"
GL
My temp. Using Ultra-120


This post has been edited by mikelanding: Nov 10 2006, 10:53 PM

i used the 2nd method. but still got high temperature

66 is normal for the stock HSF because u r running it @ full load.

my setting cant pass prime test
mayb need more vcore n looser timings

wao.. preety good temp @3.20GHz..
i am planning to get a scythe infinity or scythe mine too..
but someone told me Ultra-120 is better..
how much Ultra-120 cost?? wht was ur oc temp using stock fan??
THANKS

Ultra-120 around Rm200+...not sure about market price. I got it from a forumer here.
I dun use the stock cooler so ddont know the temp. I actually upgrade from XP-120 to Ultra-120...I got around 10+C reduction from this upgrade.

Side Note: I couple ultra-120 with NBM 12X12X38 (sold by AllnGap) running at low speed. I tried full blast the fan, only around 2C drop. But I cant bare the noisy... . Now fan stay at low speed@1700RPM

I dont know... I'm using Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro (Cost ~RM130 in UK)... At full blast (Without SmartFan @ 2500rpm)... I can do 57C a peak load with TAT... E6300@3.15Ghz, vCore@1.225. However, normally I'll just leave SmartFan (around 1000rpm) on cause full blast is just too loud... The temp will peak at 62C...

This post has been edited by MaGicDust: Nov 11 2006, 01:16 AM

but i am running in default clock speed and default vcore..

really? buthat i am just running at the default clock speed and vcore.. not o/c yet.

if o/c till 3.2Ghz (400x8) sure around 79-81c ||

but then u r using stock HSF ler..

i m using scythe mine now...but i think ultra 120 is better.... well i have no hardware to test out the infinity yet as my fren find its hard to remove it...so i cant borrow it from him compare ultra 120 to infinity they shd be around the same according to reviews but the size of infinity is just too big, u might have fitting problem ler.... since the performance of ultra 120 is around the same as infinity and ultra 120 is smaller in size.... it shd be better... well just my 2 cents.... wanted to get also from svc.com few days back, they put put the price wrongly .... usd 39.99 only...then the 2nd day i check again it goes back to 49.99

now i have 3 air coolers in mind.... infinity , ultra 120 or tuniq tower 120

btw my idle time for scythe mine + fm121 fan @ around 1700rpm is 42 - 45 degree without air cond and loda will be around 58 degrees or 60 ....i dunno if its good or wat...conroe is so freaking hot!!!!

Aiseh...U should had act fast had grab that Ultra-120....

Yr idle temp seem to good to me. Mine idle around 45-47C.
But your delta after load is kind of bad...Maybe yr Mine cannot tame yr beasty E6700@ 3.77GHz
Why not give Tuniq Tower 120 a try since U can get it at state. We at here no chance to get it... So far I didnt see any1 in Lowyat had it. Maybe can give us a Mine vs Tuniq Tower 120 review..

fantasy_kenny and pcmoddingmy owned it b4..but its long time ago

My rig quite similar to your setup, basSist.

I'm using Mushkin 1Gb x 2 at 800Mhz 1:1 5-5-5-12 at 2.1v. Currently running at 3.2Ghz running on AlphaCool water cooling at stock voltage. CoreTemp idle at 42 degrees load at 50 degrees

i didnt expect running stock HSF at 3.2Ghz would get so high temperature

yeah similar buthen u got water cooler >.<

i got about 77-78c running at 3.2Ghz.. somemore not stable with Orthos priming. btw i am using F7 bios.

This post has been edited by basSist: Nov 11 2006, 02:19 PM

seems like V2 not so active
got a question here...anyone using hynix C4 here running ddr1000? wats the best timing and vdimm? i seems not to be able to tune it stable

i m suing silverstone fm121 fan ler...not delta fans ...i liek ultra 120 coz its smaller than the other 2.... hehe i might be getting tuniq....
btw a high end wc set is on da way after i got my mobo, gc and hdd

my 3.77 is shitty man... i m expecting more!!!!

This post has been edited by sup3rfly: Nov 11 2006, 07:39 PM

Opp...my meaning of "Delta" is "change in" temperature between load and idle. Sorry that i misleading U...
Watercooling ...time for U to whack it to 4GHz? or more....

This post has been edited by mikelanding: Nov 11 2006, 08:21 PM

400FSB x10, gotta be kiddin'
kenot imagine the vcore needed & also temperature archived

4GHz only archivable using phase change...no money for phase change ler...too expensive liao...if its only rm 1.6k i think i will get it

My initial/dream WC build is as follow...dunno when this will come true... just a plan

U guys are more than welcome to give some opinion/comment as this is my 1st WC build.... a lot fo thing that i m not sure also

Swiftech Storm CPU Block
Swiftech MCW60 Graphics Card Block
Swiftech MCW30 Chipset Water-Block
Swiftech MCP655 12VDC Pump
Black Ice(R) GT Stealth 360 Highest Peformance Radiator
Alphacool Cape Coolplex Pro 25 External

sup3rfly: what mobo you are getting and you got lubang for tuniq tower? hehe..

still waiting for 680i and RD600.... hehehe.... waiting for more results then only decide.... tuniq ar...buy from US lo

tower 120 vs ultra 120 vs infinity.... dunno which is the best....

icic... i might get one myself too. still searching for the one too. anyway, when you are getting 680i yourself, please drop me a PM. might want to tumpang together. hope you don't mind. btw, i actually opt for ultra-90 cause i don't like too big heatsink. but, looks like no stock. lol

PS: 680i mobo still hasn't hit lowyat market rite?

This post has been edited by Sanko: Nov 11 2006, 09:24 PM

680i still havent reach here yet ler...i dun see anyone really has it in XS except those "reviewers" >.<
well wait a while more...see hows RD600 perform 1st.... dun buy so fast later got bug then die liao
to be frank i think Scythe Mine can beat ultra 90....so u better make the right choice.... Scythe Mine is rather small compare to my SI-120

haha, this thread just started ma. mine doing CL5 when ddr1000 and +0.3v

i tried 5-6-5-15 @ +0.4vdimm oso kenot pass orthos @ ddr1000
only can pass super pi 32m

This post has been edited by siauann: Nov 11 2006, 11:14 PM

@@ but why do u need to go ddr1000 ler? your 3.15GHz won need DDR1000 rite.. only when u do 500FSB then u need to go ddr1000 rite...

Is corsair VS can go DDR1000? Maybe think to get cheap high performance: Corsair Twin2X 5400c4.

i wanna test the max C4 can go mah..like many says ddr1000 can do

400MHz FSB with 4:5 try CL4-4-3-10? 2.2v should do the job...

According to my research, there is not much performance gain using chipset waterblock. Also, as chipset waterblock is quite small, you might have too high pressure drop which might do more harm than good. The advice is to use either good active or passive chipset cooler such as thermaltake HR05. Rest of the component is good. Also a first timer watercooler here and been taking me almost a month to find a best way to setup my rig. As I'm using Centurion 5 (Which I feel looks good, good air flow and good price), I can't really mount the whole thing inside the casing. So I drill 2 hole for the water pipe on the top to mount my radiator, screw the reservoir at the back and put my pump at the 5.25" mounting.

CL4? guess its a bit hard rite? coz now on CL5 oso not stable
tried 5-6-5-15 2.2vdimm fail orthos
i'l try ur setting

its due to low vcore i think
the higher we raise the FSB, the higher vcore is needed

I am using Intel Stock Cooling and same speed with yours (400x8) . Idle 55-57c. vCore 1.4, the rest +0.2. Very loose timing. Using Kingston valueram. Full load with orthos 67c. If wanna go to (450x8) then vCore need around 1.5. Full load will be 82c.

Using Proc E6400 and DS3 @ F7 bios. Intel Stock Cooling.

Are you running D9 or still Hynix? Wondering...

^surely still on Hynix C4
cheap RAMs with dang nice performance

This post has been edited by gengstapo: Nov 12 2006, 12:44 PM

Did u orthos fail when running 400x8 with 1.4 vcore? i got more higher temperature than urs

That setting was a stable setting. Orthos 18hrs without fail.

maybe i should try vcore 1.4v coz i havent tried that using 400x8

maybe tats ur limit edi.. get D9 la.. hehe.. i can say its stronger than my hynix..

i tot vcore only need if running higher clock speed?
im not sure tho'..stil noob oc'er mayb i'l pump more vcore n see wat happen

stil on hynix bro...nobody sells cheap D9..mjoe no more stock rite?

i oso wish i can get on hold of D9 but if i were to switch i will get 1gbx2..cz now running 512mbx2 liao...

Is this similar to the hynix C4 you guys been talking about?
Link

I might buy it and sell my OCZ Platinum RAM... Wanna cut some cost...



Upping vCore can stablize the RAM? I'm currently undervolting my Proc at 1.225V. RAM becomes unstable at over 450MHz... If yes I might try upping the voltage...

This post has been edited by MaGicDust: Nov 12 2006, 06:32 PM

wah...u frm UK izit? wanna get that C4 ah?

ur ocz ram no good in oc ka? wanna downgrade?
can i knw hw oc-able is ur ocz ram? i might consider it since its a 2gb kit

This post has been edited by siauann: Nov 12 2006, 07:35 PM

Can't see the RAM. But i'm quite sure tat its the same as mine. OMG its selling so cheap oversea...

I'm from Ipoh, sudying in the UK... The OCZ RAM very ex. Bought for 170pounds ~ RM1200. The Hynix C4 only cost 110pounds ~ RM700ish, so wanna save some money... About OCbility, I can run 4-5-4-15 at 450Mhz @ 2.1V... System is stable but give a few errors when Memtest for 24hrs... I dropped it to 430MHz and now is completely stable.

But gengstapo said that low vcore might affect RAM stability. Not sure bout that... If it is so, I might try upping the vCore and try to up the memory speed again cause now i'm undervolting at 1.225V @ 430MHzx7

Yr Hynix is extremely good ledi.. OC better than D9...
Hynix 533 can reach 1000.. tht is about 100% OC..
D9 800 can only reach <1100.. about 35% OC only.


UK RAM is cheaper than here.. 2GB = 110pounds = RM 770
I tot my fren say here is cheaper than UK
Yr E6300 bought from UK too?? how much??

This post has been edited by yehlai: Nov 12 2006, 09:22 PM

UK should be as cheap as US without the Value Added Tax. Else, it is cheaper to buy in malaysia cause buying in UK will cost 17.5% more. I bought my e6300 for around RM770 OEM version which is not cheap. However from time to time it is possible to get cheap stuffs from online store, but generally UK is more expensive than Malaysia and I think US is still among the cheapest country to buy computer stuffs, not sure about China ...

I got the pic of the C4 here:


CODE AS FOLLOWS:

1 GB 2RX8 PC2-4200O-444O12
HYMP512U64BP8-C4 AB-T 0641

So you guys think this is the right one? If yes I might quickly grab myself the bargain before its gone... He is selling 2 sticks atm...

Hi Magicdust,
If it helps these are my KVR533 1GB Hynix C4 sticks - slightly diff code though.



Currently doing DDR800 4-4-4-10 @ 2V.

nice result U got there...C4 is a nice value chip. I wish my Corsair VS can do that. Doing DDR800 4-4-4-12@ 2V as well...Memtest overnight, no error.
For 700ish, it is a bargain ( espicially at UK). Grab it b4 U miss out the chance.
