Has anyone gotten over a 4.0ghz stable? im running air cooled on 4.0ghz stable

howetechnical · Mar 26, 2010

I can't remember where I saw it (I know I know, screenshot or it never happened), but I read a post on a forum saying how somebody reached 4.6GHz on liquid. Must be a pretty beefy motherboard to do that, I would think. I also wouldn't think that lower than 1.6v - 1.63v would power such an OC (stable at least), which the 965 would not fare with voltage that high. So as for the validity, I don't know.

I don't think it's been done on air (at least not much over 4.0), though I'm not 100% sure of that. I think all I've seen in the 4.1+ GHz range have been on water ...

Hello,

Well this cooler is still relatively new but im sure that this cooler can stabalize a 4.0ghz OC. i might get this but--no need yet since im using scythe mugen 2. But heres the video of the cooler:

(overclocking review but using an intel i7-920

Yeah, you'd definitely be fine with the Noctua NH-D14. It's among the world's top 6 coolers right now. I'm running a Zalman CNPS9900ALED (not among the top 6, but still $70) that runs quiet and keeps my 4GHz OC to 33C idle and topped out at 53C load (Prime95, 12 hours), so your higher rated Noctua NH-D14 will do that if not better.

Okay im at 4 stable on this cooler

its certainly possible. some might only need 1.47-1.5v. so temps under air would be in the mid to high 50s depending on ambients.

Andrew149 · Mar 27, 2010

my max on full load is 54c and my idle is at 28c

How long did you run Prime95, if I may ask?

A-Dub · Mar 27, 2010

I'm running at 4.1ghz (1.55v) on a Sunbeam Core Contact. Prime 95 temps get out of control after ~45 mins, but I'm usually at mid 40s gaming and don't go past ~52c benchmarking. I've got water cooling parts on the way to see how much farther I can take this chip.

Andrew149 · Mar 27, 2010

im ran the program for 10mins also i upgraded to a water cooling system today i now have this installed http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835106108 my max load is 43c on the processor when i try to go past 4gh a lil bit i get the blue screen of death memory dumping so should i take my memory back and get some other brand

Obsidian is in the OCZ value line, not premium. There's nothing wrong with OCZ RAM in general. My OCZ Plats (Platinum) run great and I expect the Black Edition RAM will be even better when I get a chance to try it out ...

Andrew149 · Mar 28, 2010

i bought the ran at tigerdirect i asked for the top line sh*TT and they gave me back what should i buy the money wasnt the issue

Just got a chance to check out my 965, is this the latest or best version?

Andrew149 · Mar 28, 2010

So Corsair or Patriot?

ya that software is okay only if your viewing the specs and ram. The temp indicators on the easyturner are unreliable, there is probably +/- 5-10C margin of error. I recommend staying with coretemp or HW monitor.

Andrew149 · Mar 28, 2010

So anyopion on what the best memory is doesnt matter on the cost of it as long as its below $300

QuietIce · Mar 28, 2010

For extreme memory options you should post a thread in the Memory section.
http://www.overclockers.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=22

Personally, I like OCZ and Corsair but I wouldn't know which model to get for extreme clocking. All I do is water cooling and 24/365 SETI stable - no benching, no extreme cooling. OCZ Plats and Corsair XMS need good case flow since they don't have an extended heatsink (but they fit under those monster air coolers!

) and I've also heard Patriot Vipers are good. I'm sure the Memory Experts will disagree with those choices for extreme performance - but they're not built for extreme, just very good everyday ...

I've got 8GB of Viper sticks (DDR2), and they are pretty good at 5-5-5-15. I'm going to try 4-5-4-15 once my BitLocker is done encrypting my hard drive....11 hours so far and only 22% completed. Hah. But back on topic, Patriot does toot it's own horn when considering the Viper series as an OC'ing module. We'll see how merited that horn is once they're put to the test.

QuietIce · Mar 28, 2010

I tend to run DDR2-800 with tight timings, which runs my apps better then higher speed, looser timings. My XMS and Dominators run 460-470 MHz at CAS 4 before wimping out on me. OCZ Plats tend to go just over 450 MHz at CAS 4. In case you hadn't guessed I buy DDR2-800CL4 RAM.

I'd like to hear how your Vipers do - all I've had is sporadic confirmation on them ...
