Just updated my BIOS as well via the WinFlash program ... bah... the waiting time during "reprogramming" really scare me out if TNB played a fool on me .

erm...
i tried 400x8, but failed on every Prime test, no matter pumped 1.4 or 1.45... should i go for 1.5? , , how about other voltage settings...

Hehe... you doesn't know regarding the TNB's plays at my area very well... it usually has random blackout for a few seconds before power back online. Happened a few times on me while playing DOTA online .

1.5V? I don't think you will maintain that VCore even after you successfully Priming your rig, right? So why want to bother? Unless you wanna be naughty

get an UPS la... , me myself thinking to get one too

erm...
actually it's not about highest clock, as long can hit 3GHz ~ 3.2GHz with stock voltage will do just fine..., i tried to keep everything on stock voltage...

but frankly speaking... i love this board because of the vdrop... almost none...

Haha... yeah... been thinking about that all the while but usually my budget will be spend on something else rather than UPS first .

You all OCing kaw-kaw with your board already while I haven't even touch anything . Getting a 320GB HDD next week and probably after the last final touching with my rig, will began my very first overclocking journey . Any good 120mm fan to recommend? I'm planning to change my TT Tsunami Dream's front 120mm intake fan. I wonder what is happening inside my rig, the sound goes very loud ~wooung~wooung~ when I switched it ON and only back to normal after like 1~3 minutes. Any idea?

same here...
i even almost buy one of those UPS, when suddenly... , better get other things

rugila haven't OC, me myself even already peeled the warranty sticker to mount the HR-05 SLI, John surely pening if something happen to my board... how to RMA when the sticker peeled

i envy gsan, he's doing 500MHz damn jealous now... i think my processor holds me back la... gonna try on Team Extreme later...

about the fan, i use normal fan, Lian Li, CoolerMaster UV fan and 4 hi-performance ADDA fan... for daily usage, tend to use normal fan, only use hi performance fan on overclocking... besides, i'm running naked system

sure larr, BIOS = Basic Input Output System..

Man... least we have some characteristic in common . Anyway, I guess actually there are just many out there like us .

Haha brother, told you that it isn't that I doesn't want to OC, but there are just too many settings that I don't know which and which to change and what and what to be set there . You got the board, you know about the option yourself. So far the chipset running at 45C for me, wouldn't be bothering to kacau it unless it gets around 50C *pray pray*.

I changed all the side intake and rear exhaust fan to Vantec's UV Led fans. Wanna bling bling ma . Didn't bother to change the front 120mm intake cause couldn't be seen. However, wonder if it is the culprit that making the loud noise during bootup and wishing to change it to a better performance one .

Did you read regarding my problem with Crysis where the screen went blank? I wonder it is my graphic card or the Ati driver itself . That's what bugging me at the moment .

@vearn27
about the Crysis... i think because of the driver, have you get the latest (Catalyst 8.1)... AFAIK, previous driver... 7.12, 7.11 and lower having this issue... don't know man, i'm not playing Crysis though

here's the current temp on naked system with no air-cond, 375x8 though

ITE SmartGuardian - this software buggy le


test bed




i sleep beside the sniper69 | Alpha...

Bugger sial... get a "pakaian" la for your naked rig

The temperature really amazing. However, how when you checked with Core Temp or HWMonitor? AFAIK, there are the processor temperature and cores temperature, right? The one showed by the ITE SmartGuardian is the processor temperature. My processor temperature just being nice at 38~40C. However, it goes the other way when you checked the cores temperature .

I'm using ATI CCC 8.1. Kinda pissed off playing great game but need to reset the rig at times to run it properly .

@sniper69, can you post picture after you change the stock nb hs to HR05-sli???

i really wanna see the clearance. thanks

wahh...everyone is fired up on with their DK...i prolly setup mine during this CNY...tomorrow (today actually) gonna get the mobo from john...but don think gonna straight away pasang...kinda busy with work right now. anyway, i think i can use that time to scout around for the best setting...

@gsan, come on - post ur setting la so others can use it as a reference.

will do that later... need to disassemble everything le...

but the other day, tried on all position...facing the RAM, one of the edge touches HD3870 PCB, facing IO port at the back, same - touching the HD3870 PCB; other position - facing HR-01, ok, but i can't use push-pull fan config; facing HD3870 - worse... the whole heatsink <1mm gap with the PCB

then i think with TRUE120 lagi teruk.

so which nb cooler will be best if using true120 as cpu cooler?

rgds

i think normal HR-05 or IFX will do just fine..., anyway... haven't got a chance to test with normal HR-05 or IFX though, anyone...? lend me yours

See... that's really sickening problem to deal with the NB heatsink

which setting? ram or the voltage thinggy? about the dram tuning, actually I also kinda confuse... I just set the 4 main timing, the rest left with AUTO.

a question here, about the channel clock fine delay, the higher the value is tight or loose?

no need test liao sniper tat is ur chip problem.i got face this problem b4.a good chip 2140 just need 1.375 to prime or 24/7 at 3.2 ghz.if suck chip even u pump how high 1.5-1.6 u also will fail!!!

514x7 @ 3600MHz 1.33v bios set & reading, 1.32v during both idle & full load, ram 514 @ 4-4-4-8, 2.3v bios set & reading, 2.28v idle & 2.27v full load

Yeah... that's why I wonder how can I get to learn to set all the numbers available there ... ppl in XS (xtreme system?) really do goes maximum by setting all the numbers available for them
