i used thermometer and the temperature of my heatsink (near the processor) was below ambient temp.. well i didnt mean coretemp is correct but at least it is proven this G0 runs very2 cool..

geng, u said wanna trade our q6600 haha

haha sabar la bro.. why? g0 so tempting ar? haha


well p5k dlx for strictly oc purpose while dq6 for more general usage (oc and works) .. but IMO dq6 p35 is one of da best p35 boards... maybe u should consider between ip35 pro & dq6 p35


neway yes, x38 is workstation board (replacing the 975) while p35 is replacing the p965.. besides of its dual 16x pci-e in crossfire (& maybe SLI ) another advantage of x38 is it has fully support of ddr3 while p35 is not...

haha not for me.. raymond said the retail price should be around rm1.1k.. too expensive :-s

better buy x38 straight away.. am i rite?

but the dfi looks is so tempting.. the bigass heatsink is so wow!

and standard intel 3 years warranty..


while OEM warranty is depends on the company itself.. but normally they'll give u 1 year warranty with chance to extend the warranty with some extra charge..

act OEM is not meant to be sold to us directly.. however some online retailer / shop @ oversea does sells this OEM stuffs and provide less than 90 days warranty..

but the real world OEM is the one that Intel sells to its partner, like Dell, acer, HP, etc..

and these companies, provide their own warranty to their customer which is normally 1 year..

well i dun see anything wrong there, except ur temp might be quite hot for such a low vcore.. i guess u r using the stock intel hsf.. rite?

anyway sorry for being offtopic, but where did u get the core utilization application for ur vista's sidebar?

thx

wee great clock~

like many said, penryn retail shud be a lil bit better than the ES one.. so how jeff.. any dry ice on ur new proc?

just got e8400 last week and now only got chance to test it.. booted straight away @ 4ghz with geminiII . vcore is at 'normal' (gigabyte easytuner detect it @ 1.34vcore) stable for 24/7..

well i'm pretty sure 4ghz will becomes norms with penryn..

erm so 4.7ghz shud be the minimum target for average overclocker here

just a quick snappp....



i got it thru a friend.. well maybe gonna use this temporarily only.. until quadie comes out..

yeah i think it has auto setting.. but i leave it to normal.. maybe i have to flash to newer F5 bios that stated fully support for penryn in its description.. now i'm using the f5c bios..

temp idle is 29c with geminiII and non aircond room.. full load is 36c at night... this is from gigabyte easytuner.. maybe have to add 4-5c for more accurate "core" temperature

yeah u have successfully repeat my previous post haha

but 4.6ghz also no thrill.. coz most of penryn retail can reach that speed given certain amounts of vcore ..

i think the lowest end penryn is price around 5xx ? not really sure bout the pricing hehe


erm no offence, but u can get lower price at shop @ LYP

as mentioned above, it is dangerous.. the performance u will gain wont worth the risk u'll face

Well i think they'll sell @ rm700 for this week.. wait another 4 days, the price will have massive drop to 6xx

well if u have a way to get urself dfi dk, then go for it

it is definitely stable .. for comparison, i can say oc this penryn to 4ghz is the same like ocing conroe to 3ghz.. all my previous 17 conroe (/allendale) processors manage to oc till 3.1ghz at least.. and they are fully stable at that speed, even that might be its max clock.. but i did read some only manage to get until 2.7-2.8ghz, which i doubt is the wall for the proc.. maybe bcoz of the user itself ..the setting.. the board.. psu..

i never mentioned that passing super PI is considered as stable..

and to ensure stability for 24/7, priming for many hours alone is not enuff, we still need to test 3D stability by running loops of 3dmark, or playing high intensive game for few hours..

if both pass, then only considered as stable for 24/7..

and in my case, yeah honestly i havent run prime yet.. even for 5mins .. but i did a rendering for 6580 frames that consist of lots of hdr.. lighting and effects.. that alone costs me a lot of hours with 100% cpu usage which imo is lot more stressful than prime95 offers ..

and yeah, Mr. Luck plays an important role in oc.. no doubt bout that ..
