only 'evil' works fine with the dark force
if still cannot tonite, then i guess i will be looking for a new psu then...pokai la like this

works fine with me ST56F

well,my infiniti is great when pair up with my ininity.

note:one is infiniti,one is infinity

Stock northbridge heatsink is really really weak.
Running at 1.35volts with stock northbridge heatsink at 65°C.

Now that i've changed the heatsink to PCCooler HB-771s northbridge heatsink, the temps drop to 40°C!

That's a very huge temperature drop.

Stock Northbridge heatsink on 1.35Volts: 65°C
PCCooler HB-771s on 1.35Volts: 40°C

lawl shawty, seems you didn't bother to redo the TIM on the stock cooler. After all, mine does max 40C under full load using AS5

Aku dah buat la bang.
Dah tukar TIM chewing gum stock to AS5 masa guna stock heatsink pun sama.

System ko tu pelik.
Other people punya system semua sama ngan aku, ko sorang je lain.

Motherboard ko gila kot.

well,i put 8800 and the southridge is hot and showing 50c,then blow with fan dropped to 43c,no idea.

so confirmed the system temp is the sb temp lo?

Yes.
Try this to confirm about it.

First, let the southbridge run on passive mode, check the system temperature in the smart guardian program, take a note of it.

Then, direct a fan blowing directly to the southbridge, check the system temperature in the smart guardian program again, then see if the temps drop or not.

To me, yes the system temp shows the southbridge temperatures.
Try it on your Infinity board.

Just place a 40mm fan blow direct on the sourthbridge. But the system temperature still hover at 45~47c seems to be the same as b4.

Placing a 120mm fan blow direct to the southbridge area. Temperature reads below 40C. Don't know where is the culprit

Added on June 12, 2007, 9:41 pmFinally found, where the System Temperature Sensor...

Just place a small heatsink on top of the Fan control temperature chip located above the 3 pci slot. Chip no : IT8718F

Without any fan blowing the south bridge, and the system temperature reads between 38 to 43C

Alright, will try that next.

On other related matters:

I've managed to drop my HDD temp (~10c drop) by putting a coolermaster 80mm fan directly underneath, glued to the drive cage. I've also glued another case fan (but the air flow's too weak) to the casing floor blowing upwards to the SB and GTX. It *seems* to have dropped the SB by ~7c (59c to 52c).


p/s: Shawty, yeap, that's the Supertalent DDR2 800Mhz RAM I bought from your bulk. Excellent dude !

ko lupa secret recipe rig aku shawty, semi-BTX motherboard tray layout. Cooler air runs thru it that's why

Just set up my second rig of P965-S with a new retail Core2Duo E6600. Noticed something perculiar about the new C2D Batch No : L706A498 Packing Date 4/4/2007.

This new c2d keep changing its multiplier to 6x even I have lock it to 9x. Only heavy stress will the cpu trigger the 9x

This new c2d does not even allows me to clock it to 340FSB where my other batch of c2d L629F125 easily touch 380 FSB without giving any problem at all.

Tried raising the Vcore to 1.42, same problem still exist.

Supprising the vcore will automatically switch to 1.21 once its multiplier is set to 6x and show vcore 1.42 at 9x

Anybody encounter the same problem here?

looks like C1E is activated but i'm sure that u've already disabled it...

yup,C1E or EIST must disabled,it seems like it is not disable yet.
bro chek,is the batch really sucks?
and one thign to ask,u oen a L629L?got L at the back of the batch number one ah?i thought only A,B,F?

Typing mistake Ace. It reads batch no : L629F125. Thank you for pointing that out.

The C1E already been disabled, and it is lock by the DFI bios, no way to change it.

Is this how a bad batch core2duo looks like ?

I got a feeling INTEL place a locking mechanism to limit the core2duo max frequency but I noticed the system did post, just got weird when starting to load up windows.

no problem bro chek

u mean lock inside the bios and cant disable the C1E?newer batch Intel locked the C1E function?

bro chek,ur L629F125,what is the fastest clock speed u ever hit?and the vcore?

hahaha (gelak style orang jahat)!!! my Dark Force finally consumed me...in the end, it is as per i suspected in the first place...the proc is the culprit...the mobo works fine with my TT Toughpower 750W...
so, now I officially joined the Dark Side...will need you guys punya help tweaking the mobo later...

Bkn ko nak jual ke bang?

nak jual coz thought the dark having compatibility issue with my psu...malas plak nak beli another psu...that's why put it on sale...after our deal today, re-try setting up the mobo and plugged in my proc...teet!...ada bunyik and boot up...so tak jadik la nak jual...but selling my ds4 instead...
so, how's the proc doing? tak nampak post apa2 lagi pun...

Nanti la, aku tgh run kat 450X9 ni.
Tgh cari setting subtiming paling stable untuk ram aku bila run kat 900MHz.

Taktau subtiming apa yang terbaik bila ram run kat 900MHz.
Tgh test, test, and test.

Dah jumpa subtiming terbaik, aku post la kat sini.
