ya, i believe another 4 to 5C more..

Maybe you may try to orthos for 1 to 2 hours see stable at that setting or not...

another crucial pair should be D9GMH.
As long as 4 sticks together can run >1000MHz me happy liau

bro, look at yr F3 Temp, still want to pump up Vcore ah?

aiyo bro...till on board GPU u also wanna OC kaw2 ah?
wanna OC and play far cry or wat?

I believe it won't go far even u OC it.
If not mistaken it is in the BIOS setting there....

2008 1 1 1st post

Trial on 400HTT, not finetune yet.... (refer screeny for various settings)
Pass SuperPi 1M but results sux in Vista (32sec, malu nak post SPI screeny )

Running Orthos now with Thermalright Ultra-90 + Delta 92mm air cool

Added on January 1, 2008, 7:03 ambro db, DFI won't stop at 360HTT lah

yalor, stuck with 3M thermal tape

once Vcore >1.5V the PWM include those caps shoot up >80C
If running long hours sure the mobo will kong very soon (those were not solid caps bro)!

If I put a 120mm fans on top, PWM + caps easily will drop 20C
Last time using CM Germin II with 2x120mm fans mobo temp not that serious....
If using WC I will put a fan on top of PWM side, no $$$ to change mobo liau

nothing serious lah bro, actually I tried 412HTTx8.5=3510MHz, can run memtest and boot into Vista safe mode.

Normal mode Vista crash....CPU temp too high@1.6V
Later will try WC.

I believe many mid-end mobo can do >400HTT nowadays

he is right...I put heatsinks on both MOSFETs and CAPs as well
On top of CAPs the metal casing expose right? I just stick Heatsinks with thermal tape on it.....

Make sure to use better quality thermal tape as we dun want the HS drop halfway and short the mobo

May be u are right but since I got many extra HS I still prefer to stick it on the CAPs too

Without fan and HS I can't even touch my hand on top of those caps for 10sec if OC kaw2 + full load (should be >65C).
Now with HS attached and fan blowing, I can leave my hand on top of caps as long as I want even full load (below 55C).

While, the caps won't spoilt overnight even running >65C.
If my memory serves me right, I read some articles stated that the lifespan of Electrolyte CAPs will drop 10-20% with every increase of about 10 to 20C.
Even later I change mobo with Solid CAPs, I will do this as well as cooling mod is one of my interest, just like OC
Love to do some simple mods to bring down heats whenever possible

Those high temp on CAP i think is the heats generated by PWM and transfer to CAPs via PCB/ convection.

i believe no PWM temp sensor built-in on our DFI model. Me just use thermal probe to measures

pity bro

Aiyo, only 1.48Vcore max ah?
Why u never check the BIOS setting before buying this mobo huh?

63C

bro, u really killing yr chip softly...using stock fan ah?

sorry bro pws, me just free to online now
will attach my screeny soon ...

Added on January 3, 2008, 12:41 amPWS,
seems like bro CV aldy answered yr question
ya, if using WC becareful on the PWM side, especially when running orthos.

If my memory serve me right, u told me b4 u RMA yr mobo twicw due to Orthos right?

My DFI rig was busy running Orthos@ 3.4G, 1.575Vcore for whole afternoon...
refer CPU-Z for my setting....will let u know why I added the heatsinks


Pls refer to your mobo pic, I highlighted the PWM MOSFET where I attached my digital thermal probe.
I am running WC, with my setting as shows by CPU-Z.

(Ambient temp around 26C in air-cond room, my rig is put outside of casing, ventilation is better than opened case)
All my PWM MOSFETs got small copper heatsinks on it, without top 120mm fan running, the Idling temp around 50C+.
Once running orthos, around 10 mins later the MOSFETs temp will shoot up >90C.
Keep in mind that PCB is quite good at heat transfer (due to the copper trace, especially on the packed PWM side, thicker trace found due to high current load)
Those 90C+ heat will transfer to surrounding components (mostly via convection I believe), so think by yourself what is the CAPs temp look like?

At this time those heatsinks I stuck on top of CAPs, temp >65C cos I can't even rest my hand on it >10 sec!!!
Well, I think it is time to turn on my 120mm fans on top of PWM circuit....

Within 1 min my temp measuring point drop to <60C
Those heatsinks on top of CAPs <40C.

So conclusion is I will never run orthos test >1hr without extra cooling
Although those electrolyte CAPs are designed to stand around 100C, judge your self will the lifespan of mobo drop without extra cooling?

Heatsinks might not be necessary but extra fan to me is a MUST when running Orthos >1hr.

Hmm...time to stop my Orthos now and check how is the temp look like
After 2 mins the temp measured below 40C with the 120mm fan running

I treated my mobo nicely with extra cooling since Socket A platform and me used > 4 mobos for the last 5 yrs (3 mobo were Abit NF7-S V2.0).
2 of the NF7 kong due to stupid lighting kissed my mobo via LAN/ phone line. The other mobos still working till recently I sold it off)

OK, time to surf Garage Sales.....

aiyo...my bad...
thought was bro PWS

Wah bro, u changing hardware again ah? Damx kaya lah u
Yr WC really kick ass

My 400L/hr pump just limit OC performance, 3.4GHz@1.6V, 61C Orthos temp read by Coretemp

Just work hard not enough bro, ball must be big to pump Vcore + Vdimm kaw2
Some more taruh iced water cool

Without iced cool I doubt that any of the F3 users here can drag u down from 2nd place

Even with same WC, OC results will be different depend on mobo use...
With previous Abit AN9 32X I reached 3.56GHz stable but so far tested 3.4GHz stable with DFI mobo

My DFI not that "user friendly" when come to OC....need a lot of tweaking, time consuming

bro,

can you try CoreTemp for your setting?
As all our DFI Ultra2 M2 mobo tend to get lower temp reading (7C to 9C) in Smart Guardian than CoreTemp....

If your DFI mobo in the same case then yr proc temp >75C liau

Even u are leng cai but still possible look as a bad guy...LOL
Jz kidding bro

Anyway, Robyn Comp price is reasonable, bought proc, mobo and RAM from them b4, by postage

Mine HT Link >1700MHz but too bad in daily use didn't feel the different
