nice!
wish i have higher multi.
but 500fsb!! daymn.
how's the temp? on your siggy u're using wc. must be cool enough then.

@IcEMoCHa
Mind to share w us your setting??

-pWs-

cmiiw, fm123 max cfm is 100+. xigmatek stock is 56.3 from official site.
CM performance fan is 90 cfm.
anybody has recommendation which fan to use to replace my hsf stock fan?
looking for fan that has +- 100 cfm or more.

thanks!

i notice 1 thing for the penryn quad core aka yorkfield,

the more vtt(vfsb) the less vcore needed for a particular clockspeed, hence running cooler.

may i know wat vtt(vfsb) most users here using ? i using 1.3v

but dun increase untill 1.4v or above as it will kill ur yorkfield according to anandtech

GPU is faster

mind sharing how you can get temp so cool?
summore, i saw your vcore is 1.36v.
hows your vtt, vdimm, GTL?

my voltage a bit low than yours but my temp reach 70+ C max.

lol wrong thread post...aiyaa..  

anyway i cant believe that my processor consider good...i hit 3.66ghz on 1.232v and stable,somemore i got this processor without looking much just straight ahead buy from jetkiat since i saw his WTS quite for sometimes and ppl seem to ignore it...
i got it on july 10 just before that price slash for rm850 seal box...

now im feeling lucky lol...anyway ice mocha good result have you try to get stable on 4.0ghz??
for mine i think the ram hold me back coz in order for me to run this at 3.66ghz my ram performance level have to drop down to 8(its a 2gbx2 stick)..i try a few other combo but seem like havent got any good yet,anyway since you under water why not try to hit 4.0 stable just maintain ur fsb vtt and crank up those vcore volt since watercool should low those temperature tremendously..  

try to use coretemp 0.99.3 bro... this one is accurate

i macam got seen realtemp 2.75 but not sure if the tjmax is adjusted already.....
uncle.... ur max temp shud be 64c...

ur tjmax not adjusted to 100

Can anyone comment on this spec? Not for overclocking though.
mobo = gigabyte EP45-DS3R (ATI CrossFire supported)

vga =  GTX260 Gigabyte 896M D3 / Gainward HD 4870 HDMI 512MB DDR5 Golden Sample

processor = Q9450 2.66ghz 1333fsb 12mb cache

ram = 4gb Team Xtreem Dark Series PC8500

hdd = WD 160gb 8mb sata2(main) WD 640gb 16mb sata2 (storage)

casing = cooler master cm-690

psu = gigabyte odin pro 550w truepower

lcd monitor = Asus MK241H

dvdwriter = LG

If it is ok im going get this spec but will decide on graphic card when i get to the shop =)

My comments:
1. IceMocha is right. Using the Team RAM is a waste - just go with DDR2-800 since no overclocking.
2. 4870 has better price/performance.
3. Use the 640GB as the primary Windows drive. It is faster than the 160GB.
4. Better PSU is a good idea too. I recomment the Corsair TX650 or 750.

In O.N.E you'll find a setting called FSB(Bsel) To NorthBridge Latch. Set this to FSB1333. Now you should have a setting under DRAM frequency that corresponds to 1:1.

Told you I45 BIOS was way more complicated than IP35E =p

Guys have 1 question here...have anyone tried overclocking a HP workstation pc before, well even though HP bios cant be tweak but do u guys have any other way or suggestions....

this is the cpuid of the HP xw8600
