shogan191 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I could read but it's more fun to post. I'm hoping it 's like the last time and if i decide to downgrade (processors) that's allowable at any time? Is that the case? Link to post Share on other sites
IntelGuy Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 Yep. Downgrades are OK. Link to post Share on other sites
WMDRAUCH Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I just broke out the big guns.... I removed the 2 70cfm fans and replaced it with the 252cfm fan to see how the temps would compare on a overclocked stress test... Ran an OCCT 15min stress test running at 1.2 Vcore and 3500MHtz. On the 70 cfm fans (setup as push-pull)....idee averaged 35 and max averaged 58-59. On the 252cmf fan (setup as pull only)....idle averaged 31 and max averaged 54-55. A nice drop of about 4-5 degrees.... Mmmm.......I wonder what will happen when I push it 4.0+...... :overclocking: Link to post Share on other sites
Intratech Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Only one way to find out, push it to the limit. Them 252 CFM fans wouldn't happen to be deltas would they? Link to post Share on other sites
WMDRAUCH Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I am only using one 252cfm fan and yes it is a delta. This is the first time I used it and it is LOUD. To me it sounds like a loud vacuum cleaner.... Will have to wait for a couple of days to continue testing. I just sold both my HD4890's and they are packaged and ready to ship tomorrow. My new 5870 will most likely not get here until Friday... Link to post Share on other sites

WMDRAUCH Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Just finished a 2 hour OCCT stress test. I believe I found what I can run 24/7. Running at 200x20 for 4.0 with memory running at 200x12 or 2400. VCore at 1.36 with temps running high 60's with 2 70cfm fans. Gotta love that new memory. Easily clocks 2400 and I think it has some room to overclock...woohoooo Link to post Share on other sites
porksandwich9113 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 (edited) Wow, that 860 stays pretty cool. At 4.0 and 1.3625 Volts I was hitting temps from 72-80. Edited February 6, 2010 by porksandwich9113 Link to post Share on other sites
WMDRAUCH Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 OK....sorry...I lied. I went back and looked at the data and the temps averaged 75. High was 79-80. Too many beers.... Ambient temp is 28.3. That's a little high for me to run 24/7. I will have to get some more fans pushing higher cfm's. The high 60's temp I mentioned before was when I was running the 252 cfm fan.

porksandwich9113 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 (edited) Sorry. LOL! I meant 1.3625! I have a habit of leaving off the 1 at the start an just saying 3250 or 2750..ect.. Edited February 6, 2010 by porksandwich9113 Link to post Share on other sites

AMDX1325 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 (edited) having done 2 rounds of testing, AMD sucks at these math and logic benches, but really not noticeable in real world performance :-/ Edited February 14, 2010 by AMDX1325 Link to post Share on other sites
RAH Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Yes, in true life, both machines are about the same. One a little ahead here, and a little behind there. I have always had Intel, just because my first one was, and I have never had any big problems with them. But then again, a lot of my aquainces never had problems with AMD. Go figure. To each their own. I do wish AMD would come up with something soon. Just to make the market better for all. Of course, the same goes with ATI/Nvidia. Link to post Share on other sites
miggs78 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Although I noticed that even though the Phemon processors will give Wprime and super pi low scores compared to Intel systems, 3dmark benches are still pretty good, also don't forget some AMD processors are known to overclock really well, and the more you overclock, the higher OC bonus you'll get which will help your score quite a bit.
