OMG 1000FSB!!!!!!!!! :beer:

It was my voltage!!!! I took it to the "Purple Ganger Zone" according to ASUS and it booted @ 1000FSB!!

its a celebration b*t*h*s :beer:

Very impressive!

Toss me one of them beers!

I was pretty proud of myself when I got my PC5400C4 memory up to 830mhz, and retained the 4/4/4/12 timings.

[SeanBest]

Is this good for that CPU? I'm guessing so seeing as you posted it! However good it may be, LEET!

[nvidiaOCmaster]

*throws a beer to mole*

Its a good for the motherboard to actually do this.



However.... Its anything but stable... I got lockups :(. Im almost 100% sure the lockups are on accordance to the low voltage that im getting. I still dont understand this; it says 1.38 for my Vcore in the bios, but only 1.312 in CPU-Z

Don't blame it on the PSU, it did the same thing with a enermax liberty and a PC cooling&power PCU.

[Angry]

Damn it, Pic doesnt work
:edit:

Nice, now if only that was a Cd2... :D LOL

[nvidiaOCmaster]

Damn it, Pic doesnt work

Keep trying!!!! Its incredible :p :p :p lol

So bump up the vcore in the bios to get 1.38 actual. My bios is always almost .05 higher than actual.

Other than that, im a noob with intel overclocking :) so, good job, i guess :)

I think you killed imageshack

[dicecca112]

um yeah, sorry its not 1000 FSB. Its quad pumped so your FSB is 250. Nice try though

[damarble]

I don't get it. There's a lot of info missing in this thread. What are we talking about?

EDIT - Ahg! I just realized this was my 1337 post! And I let it slip by unoticed. :( ;)

party pooper....

beer me =D

[shaking_ground]

whatever man, i know it isn't 1000Mhz fsb actual, but it is still a nice healthy OC, and that's what this forum is for!

Throw me a cold one.:beer:

Can you catch good? *throws 12*

[nvidiaOCmaster]

I know its not a 1000mhz increase, but that was my threshold before. I thought the mobo couldnt do higher(I was about to RMA it) but it was just the voltage.

free beer for all :beer:

What the other guy said, "party pooper"!

[dicecca112]

he hits 4.0GHz on that chip let me know.

[Hobbz]

Crank the core voltage up and see how far you can get that to go :)

You can go alot higher than 1.3v if your temps are good.

[nvidiaOCmaster]

I KNOW I can hit 4.0 ghz, I was @ 3.8 stable on my old mobo and cooler, now I got a better cooler and mobo.
EDIT:
Im stumped... i just tried for 1000 and it wouldnt boot :wtf:

EDIT2: The more thing I plug into my PSU(FANS ECT) The more stable my Vcore is...:shrug:

[nvidiaOCmaster]

I changed my ram timings, in hope of a higher OC, ill try for 1000 a little later.

In the meantime, is my voltage drop during a load my PSUs fault? The multimeter says my 12V+ is constant, but the computer dosent :shrug:

Would it be safe to stress overnight? What happens if I overheat?

[hUMANbEATbOX]

the voltage drop is 100% normal. happens on pretty much every board out.

i would test overnight. set it up for maybe an hour before you go to sleep, so you can see what the temps are before you leave it overnight. if something should happen where it overheats like crazy overnight, the CPU itself will throttle, and reduce its speed so it doesn't burn up.

[dicecca112]

Software voltages are just a guess. the Multimeter is what your going for.

[El<(')>Maxi]

No they're not and everybody doesn't have a meter sitting around either. Software monitoring will give you a good idea whats happening even if they are not 100% accurate.

[nvidiaOCmaster]

I put some stock thermal paste on today.....


bad mistake.....

50C idle....

New order of AS5 + fans on the way

[nvidiaOCmaster]

Well, until my fans and AS5, and AS:C get here, i have to find the best generic thermal paste.

Currently... I have toothpaste on my CPU... idling @ 60C.

The current lowest temp thermal paste (excluding AS5) is stock stuff, idling @ 46C 55C load.

Im about to see what happens when a CPU throttles, just for personal experience. Its not harmful, according to intel.

Anyone else here think differently?

EDIT: I just made it to 72C 5 min into orthos. According to throttlewatch, my CPU did not even start to throttle. This will allow me to OC higher while still knowing my CPU is safe :beer:


Also, anyone know if AS5 is better than ceramique?

[Arca_ex]

Yeah, if it was REALLY 1000FSB it's 1000 times the multiplier, which is 14...

ZOMG 14 GHz!!! Congrats on getting to 250 FSB...

[nvidiaOCmaster]

14ghz would OWN!!!


Right now...... My computer HATES me. Its probably plotting how to kill me.

Toothpaste is not a good TIM, although I used only a tiny, tiny bit; whereas the person who got the awesome results with it used a ton!

Im going to put some stock junk on.

[greenmaji]

AS5 is better long term then anything else (unless your going sub-ambiant)

What motherboard is that, Im currious what the WR for FSB is with this thing :p

[nvidiaOCmaster]

lol.... P5N-SLI.

Worst overclocker ever....

[nvidiaOCmaster]

what does sub ambient mean? like the CPU temp lower then the room temp?

[Trap05]

Correct

[nvidiaOCmaster]

:beer:

[nvidiaOCmaster]

All right guys, I got my fans and Arctic paste(2 tubes ceramique, 1 tube AS5)

Bad news, I broke my 92mm fan as soon as I got it out of the box. Right now im running it with a high flow 80mm fan. Idle @ 45C with the fans at 20%. This thermaltake Xcontroller is pretty handy, although the LED's are annoying.


Im going for 1.5V @ 4.0ghz, ill post back later, if I can get it to boot at those voltages and speeds.

[nvidiaOCmaster]

ok, i booted at 4.0ghz...and 1.745 Vcore. Temps were idle 56C and load 75C with no throttling, but that is far too much temp for me. Im going to keep it @ 975 and 1.34Vcore

[hUMANbEATbOX]

using 1.75v would probably kill your mobo if you ran it for very long. you really have to sink up the mobo extremely well if you are considering running anything over 1.55v IMO.

[nvidiaOCmaster]

theres heatsinks all around the mobo, they came stock. theres nothing else on the mobo thats getting hot, besided the Southbridge, which I have a ramsink on currently.

[greenmaji]

See if you actually needed all that Vcore.. back off on it.

[nvidiaOCmaster]

Its not stable @ 4ghz, even when I take my voltage high.


Im going to stay @ 3.4ghz until I can get a better OCing motherboard(or a better cooler so I can go to higher voltages) :(

Its only stable 3.4ghz when the voltage is 1.45!! and i still get lock ups!!

[hUMANbEATbOX]

Its only stable 3.4ghz when the voltage is 1.45!! and i still get lock ups!!

if its locking up, you can't call it stable!

i really wish you had your specs in your sig, so i could tell what we were talking about here.

1.75v on air is excessive and reckless. if you value your mobo and cpu, i would back it down.

what psu have you got?

[nvidiaOCmaster]

Ive got this PSU, and no it dosent suck, 12V on the mobo never drops. I dont have my voltages that high anymore. Even when they were, it only displayed 1.53. Right now its @ 975FSB(in the bios) and 1.45V which only displays as 3.12 in CPU-Z

Most people know my system specs here, but here they are agian


Pentium 4 520

Samsung PC2-3200 DDR2 ram

Gigabyte 6600GT

SolyTech 8600EPS PSU

CM centurion case

[nvidiaOCmaster]

bump to bring this topic back to the top, id like to get a reply to see if Im right.


I had a high speed(8000RPM 12V 1.2A) LED fan hooked up to the MOTHERBOARD fan jacks, and I think thats why I got lockups, there was one in each of the chassis fan jacks, and a slightly more powerful one in the CPU fan jack. I tried to boot @ a rated FSB of 975(@ 1.45V) but it wouldnt, i unhooked the fans, and it booted at 1.35V. :beer:

the question, could all those high powered fans cause this problem? Right now they are on the other 12V rail.(for the periphials)


EDIT!!:

It locked up agian... Im really getting angry about this... WTF could the problem be?!?!? If it was doing this FSB and voltage before, why cant it now??

Could somthing be getting hot on my mobo?


Edit2: what it LDT frequency?

[Kemon]

I think you need to slow down and take your time... because i think your definition of stable and everyone else's definition of stable aren't the same. I ran my FX60 at 3.0ghz and thought i did enough testing, a few hours of prime_95, and memtest and the whole thing. I was getting way too anxious to just be back on my computer and using it at the new speed. A few days later i got a lock up in CS:S, then another a little later on down the road and some other weird things were happening. It's because I didn't take the time to properly test everything. You can only push it so far and that's just how it is.
