Overclocking Sandbox: Tbred B DLT3C 1700+ and Beyond

[EspElement]

doesnt seem to clock any higher.... prime crashes.... i think its cause that the heat is to much... i ordered the SLK900U should be coming wed or so

2.3 barton is pretty good tho

 

[Audioaficionado]

I wished I'd gotten the SLK800U or 900U instead of the Vantek TMD fan HS. Now I've wasted $30 and may have wounded my CPU's top end o/c.

I'm getting one as soon as I can afford to spend the $70 bux.

Don't knock the Vantec Aeroflow. I'm getting 207x11.5 on my Barton 2500+ @1.775 Vcore with that combo. Prime95 stressed temps are 49 C.

 

[EspElement]

WTF how you geting that at ****ing 1.775 VOLTS?
a hs and fan cant change how low you can set the volts....
how you doing this man? WTF... that makes me ****ed.....
maybe when i get my SLK900U i can do that... lol
but of course SLK900U only fits on my board perfect.....
others you have to bend capsitors and ****....
i wouldnt go that far lol, some even take a mobo mod...lol

 

[Audioaficionado]

I'm knocking the Y-S Tech TMD fan more than the heatsink. I do think the SLK is much better and in my case with 33c ambient conditions, the best choice.

That $30 will cost 100-200 MHz for overclocking, lol.

For air cooling, if you want the best of both world, extreme overclocking on air and reasonable noise level for 24/7 running, SLK-800U and a variable fan such as TT SFII or Tornado with adjustable VR are must.

The Vantec TMD is good for 24/7 running for low noise level. But for last 100 MHz oc for benchmarking, ..., a SLK800U/SLK900U will give you an edge of 3-5 C loaded temp, and the last 100 MHz.

I am now pushing the 1700+ using a SLK-800U towards 2.58-2.59 GHz stable. With a SLK7, I could only get to mid 2.5 GHz.

the code i got is 0307, i have tried higher volts even 1.8 but the system crashes or sumtimes wont boot after exiting bios... mayb some of my settings are wrong in the bios...

ps what is socket wiring trick???

Do you have a NF7-S rev.2, it can go higher Vcore, so wiring trick is not needed as someone already pointed out.

What temp did it crash at 1.8V? What PSU do you use?

 

[Audioaficionado]

If you recently updated your NF7-S Abit's BIOS with that v14 beta1, you've lost all your multipliers below 11. Thats why my CPU crashed when I went from 200/2200 to 200/2000 or 190/1995. I'm just glad it didn't get smoked by that TMD fan shutting down.

Once I get better cooling, I'm going for the higher overclocks again. I dropped down from 200/2200 because at 1.65v my processor was too hot to take a 10c increase as ambient temps rise durring the coming summer.

 

[EspElement]

you got a barton dont you?

i have an 400watt power supply i think its an electron or proton sumting like that

 

[EspElement]

hahaha my board does 2.2volts stock
i did at 2.2 to burn my cpu in at 600mhz, lol

holy ****..... 38 LOAD??!?!?!?!
thast ****ing awesome.... your temps where at 50 c LOAD before...
thast a whole ****ing 12 C

Hmn i still got all my multi's with 14b1 bios...

 

[Gautam]

There is no way you could get 38° C load with that kind of an overclock and any form of aircooling, unless you had subzero ambient temperatures. That kind of an overclock would lead the CPU to dissipate approximately 140 watts, with an SK7 having a thermal resistance of around .25 C/W = 35°C above ambient. I'd be willing to bet that temperature probe is off by about 20°, an enormous amount, however 58° C is more likely than 38. Motherboard readings can't be trusted at all; a bios update made mine read about 10° lower than before, meaning that I supposedly have a load temperature of 37.5 with the overclock in my sig(fat chance, even with watercooling). However, that's a wonderful overclock in any case, and looks like it should prove stable.

 

[OrionRU]

im getting 40°C full load @2200 with SLK-900U and TTsmartfan @ 5000rpm have 3 exhaust fans and 2 intakes.

38 at your speed seems very strange, but i do have around 80F ambient temp

 

[Ununquadium114]

very nice oc

Try 200/2000

I can't get anything under 11x with either the 1.4 or 1.4.1.

BTW the file compilation dates on the 1.4 are later than the beta 1.4.1.
