too high...Temps?
-
Thats why i never went water...seems like too much maintaining...hahaYeah, I did water before I got the vapo.
Too much maintenance.
I think youll be happy with the cooler...
When i started putting together my setup i noticed asus was nice enough to drill the 775 socket mounting holes so i used it rather than taking a few minutes to change to the 1366 brackets...haha
Anyways...looking forward to seeing what happens with the extreme edition and that cooler....they always seem to run a little hotter than the standards..
-
any reason why your not using the vapochill anymore?After reading the reviews, I just ordered one of these:

I use USPS all the time...a box bigger than the item and good packing helps...
Thats all i use for ebay sales...its cheaper...especially with the flatrate boxes..
But usually with warranty stuff i sent back UPS because of tracking...

60c at 100% load for an i7 is coooool
these i7's are hot mf's.
edit:- my temps on water with an oc of 3.8ghz
stress test was 40minutes of prime95
core0 :- low 39 high 65 immediately after stress test 45c
core1 :- low 37 high 62 immediately after stress test 42c
core2 :- low 39 high 63 immediately after stress test 45c
core3 :- low 35 high 59 immediately after stress test 40c
best air cooler i think for an i7 :- http://www.crazypc.com/products/prolimatec...lem-508600.html
Thats how my temps are at 4.0ghz with the case side off...but then again i have a good chip
about 5-8 deg more with the side on...

Yea...it seems like going over 200bclk is the only problem i have yet to figure out with these boards.My box is down right now so I don't have any screen shots, but to get my RAM up to 2000+ MHz I need to drop the RAM multi and raise the BCLK in order to have an option to keep QPI around 4 GHz. Although the P6T bios offers much higher choices, I have not been able to boot any of them.
Each motherboard seems to have a few different options. I can't get the BCLK over 200 unless I drop the RAM speed, and by extension the QPI, down quite a bit. Even then, the highest BCLK I've gotten is 209.
There is also some good stuff here:
http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/intel...doc.aspx?i=3453
I hit 200x21 and 200x20 and everything goes well....anything over i really have to play around with settings just to get it booted up but nothing is stable yet....
-
I have the coolermaster v10....I dont know that it makes much of a difference but i used the Coolermaster Thermalfusion 400 paste...
It was designed for the v8/v10 coolers....
I get about 40C/70C...idle/load at 4.0ghz w/ 1.20v....
and according to all the reviews the v8 has the same performace as the v10...
-
Already Using it. Its pretty sweet...Compared to Vista
...XP was great to me...
-
Thanks...Looking great!
I think i kinda give up...haha...its not even stable at 4.4ghz...
Maybe i will try again some other time. 4.0ghz @ 1.20v is rock stable...but everything above that doesnt seem stable at all...
-
So i guess timings were too tight?
I had to jump from 7-7-7-20 and anything over 4.0 i jumped to 9-9-9-24....i hit the MEMOk button on the motherboard and let the motherboard choose a failsafe setting for the memory...and it booted up
http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=783543
Also upped the NB voltage to 1.25
and the QPI/DRAM to 1.4
Are ATI boards naturally bad at 2d scoring?
http://pcpitstop.com/betapit/sec.asp?conid=22849063
EDIT:
Hmm...maybe its not the ram timings....i just set it to 8-8-8-24 and it booted...one of the things i was playing with is a factor....
http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=783593
Trying to get past 4.4 is proving to be my next challenge...
-
thanks for the info....its time to get some sleep...i will update you in the morning... :-)Does that board have settings for "CPU Impedance" and the "QPI Signal Compensation"? If so, set them to "low".
If not look at some of the options (such as IOH ) and see if anything looks similar to these descriptions:
.
-
Set it up to 210x20
QPI/DRAM set in increments between 1.45-1.5...starts to boot up then freezes right before it gets to windows boot screen...didnt want to set it any higher...since it is considered in the yellow zone according to the book.
I had my CPU upped to 1.25 and still nothing past BIOS screen...
my current CPU @ 4 ghz is 1.20....so i still have a huge amount of headroom...just got me so stumped...
-
i havent set it above 1.35...What's the QPI/DRAM Core Voltage? Have you tried 1.55?
is that a safe setting on the qpi/dram?
-
Have you bumped up the north bridge voltage?
Do you have the Asus Turbo V installed?
The only way i can get over 200 BCLK on the P6T is to boot at 192 and use Turbo V for the rest of it. Even then it will only go to 215, and that's if I drop the multi.
You can also try playing around with the clock skew a little. Does that board have vdroop? Mine clocks much better with load line calibration enabled.
Also, take look here:
http://techgage.com/article/asus_rampage_i...locking_board/8
bumped the IOh NB and SB both to 1.2
No asus turboV
Line Load is enabled
really getting urked...its never been this much of a problem to overrclock before..
CPU skew is set to 200 (just to play around)
IOK+H skew i set to 100(just to mess around)
Still not getting much response
-
mmmm
ok. not that then.
what's
oc from cpu level up
and
oc from memory level up
in your bios?
i see they are both set at auto, have you tried setting them at manual?
also disable turbo power limit.
but to be honest i'm out of idea's why it won't even post when the bclk is raised higher than 200, was sure it would be down to the ram and uncore.
CPU level up is overclocking to i7 940/ 960 specs.
Memory level up is clocking memory to DDR3-1200/1600/2000 and setting bclk respectively...
Im stumped too...it went directly from 2.6 to 4.0 when i started it up...but anymore it seems to just stop. ARGGGG
EDIT
QPI is set to auto...but has been set from 1.25-1.35
-
i actually tried under clocking the ram...last time i'm going to say this...
with a bclk over 200 you need to lower the ram multi or/and higher the uncore so it's running at least 2x the ram speed.
CPU is set 210x20
So its set at DDR3-1263
UCLK is at 2526
and tried 2736(more than 2x)
and
@ DDR3-1683
UCLK @ 3368 no response
This board doesnt do multipliers...it sets actual values...
and i still hit a wall..it wont even boot up like it should...it will sit there with no response and no output to the monitor
-
still hitting a wall trying to get over 200bclk...could it be my ram?
Everything goes smoothly when up to 200 bclk...but man...it just run straight into a brick wall figuring out how to get over the hump.
-
-
how long is it supposed to take?Try this too
Oh and run it at the max setting.
it seems like its taking 400 sec. per test.
-
wireless mouse (logitech g7), wired keyboard(logitech g15) both on USB connectors...Are you using a wireless keyboard and mouse?
Had to Up the voltage a bit to 1.2 @ 4.0ghz...running IBT
-
seems when i set it to 205x20 or more the SATA ports and usb ports shut off...and the motherboard tries to detect them...and it seems to freeze after it tries to detect the usb devices...
I dont know whats going on...
-
I got 2 cpu's to play around with...
and it seems the second one performs a whole hell of a lot better.
now its a matter of testing to find out how to get myself over the 200bclk....
still on factory timings @ 7-7-7-20
-
-
hmmm...yea i tried that...15x215...still no boot...try a lower multi something like 15x for the cpu for higher bclk than 200, if it still doesn't post i'd think it's definitely a memory/uncore setting somewhere that needs adjusting.
edit:- your on air so i'd think those temps are about right.
with the standard heatsink and fan my temps were well over 90c at 100% load even with a mid overclock like 3.6ghz
i switch something...and i think the voltages will suprise you...
...
Currently stress testing it....will post after 10+ minutes of stress testing...
Air cooling here I come...
in Custom PCs, case mods, overclocking

And no only low profile memory will work...i had to work around that...
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...5-242-_-Product
suprising how much the price has jumped on these...these were 180 and i got them on sale for 155...and now they are $200...hmmm
