What are you at right now? CPUz Is reporting my Core Voltage at 1.152v, but I forget what I have the actual BIOS settings at. Do you have a G0 revision Q6600?

[cheezdue]

Wait what is this thread about? I have a somewhat novice knowledge of computers.

[InnerGoat]

3.2Ghz, easily doable for most on stock volts. You probably left Intel's power saving features on, thats why you see ~1.15.

No, I'm sure that all the shitty power saving is turned off :p, I'll check it in a second. All the "Intel Speedstep" and "CPU DIE Throttling" type stuff is disabled, my (CPU related) voltage settings are the VCore at 1.22500v, and North Bridge at 1.35v... I think you have a REALLY shitty chip.

I was talking with some people at overclock.net and they said I could get 3.6GHz easily. But my motherboard has some issue with overclocking quad cores so I'm at a wall. If I go to 3.1GHz my system becomes HIGHLY unstable. So I'm going to get an eVGA nForce 780i SLI FTW edition to replace this Asus Striker Extreme, it can OC my processor better, and it has PCI-E 2.0 as opposed to 1.0.

[InnerGoat]

It might be worthwhile to put that chip under water and try for 4Ghz on the new board then:awesome:

I really don't like the aspect of water around my computer, let along IN it... I don't know why but i have a SERIOUS opposition to water cooling, regardless of the performance benefits... Why do you think I got a TRUE? I've seen a Q6600 of the same batch as mine, under water cooling at 4.2GHz that was rock solid at about 55-58 degrees.

Also yea, more Pi results please.

My board has really bad and inconsistent Vdroop, so I'm having some stability issues past 480mHz. CPU cores are still under 45C and ram/NB are barely warm to the touch, so I think I can keep on pushing. Going to run Memtest for a few hours later and see if my ram is maxed out.

What HSF setup are you using? I'd assume a TRUE or something close to it... I'm going to be clocking where you are as soon as I get my new motherboard, and I use a push/pull TRUE setup.

Ew, that is gross. What are your temps? Remember that stating your CPU temp is USELESS without stating your room temperature as well... I'm running at 40°C in a 23°C room.

[Boo Diddly]

Eh, my room is about 28?c atm. Now temp idle is a strange thing... going by the general cpu temp its around 35c, the per-core sits about 50c with a tj max of 100c but supposidly for my processor the acutal tj max is 90c so that would make it 40c.

I think.

[Cortexian]

Interesting, did you lap your HSF or are you getting those temps stock? I don't expect a huge increase in temps when I upclock to 3.6GHz/3.8GHz but I just want to know what's a safe bet. As long as the CPU stays under 70°C at load I guess I won't have a problem with it...

[Abdurahman]

I'm using an Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835185125 And the copper base is kinda rough but with some dynex thermal paste that i bought from best buy (you might thing fail but it is actually pretty good) My Phenom II X3 720 overclocked to 3.6ghz is 30C Idle, 32-33C surfing the web and around 45C after playing crysis for 2 hours. So I'd say the arctic freezer is pretty good!

Yes, that's a fairly good HSF. However everything that I've read pretty much states that the best way to cool your CPU on air is a lapped Thermalright Ultra-120 using a push/pull system (with high CFM fans) and a Thermalright IFX-10 backside cooler.

I thought of going in that direction but I've never been comfortable with something that large haning off of my mobo.

atm I'm running 4 of the super PI calculating to 32m to max my cpu. Everest says that my "cpu" is sitting at 109c... but earlier when it was idle it was like 30c. my individual cores are sitting just below 80c which is up from around 40c.

usually I don't max out my comp tho, I'm sitting at most 40% during a given game and the cpu stays cool enough.


now my gpx card on the other hand... have to manually set its speed cause nvidia wants you to cook em for some reason at only 15% fan speed.

[Cortexian]

I thought of going in that direction but I've never been comfortable with something that large haning off of my mobo.
I felt the same way until I actually got my TRUE, it's got a mounting bracket that has little "supports" that stretch out across the backside of the motherboard to distribute the weight a little more. It's a pretty good idea.


now my gpx card on the other hand... have to manually set its speed cause nvidia wants you to cook em for some reason at only 15% fan speed.
Do you happen to have an eVGA graphics card? If you do, I'd recommend using their Precision Overclocking Utility, it's a lot better than using the nVIDIA control panel.

[Boo Diddly]

I have one from XFX. I use RivaTuner and keep the fan at 70%, the gpu is set at 800mhz, 2ghz for the shader, 1.2ghz for the memory.


If I need a new HSF I'll check into them, my friend had one for his AMD but the mounting for it actually bowed the mobo. This current one I have is silent, and when I don't need it anymore I can keep it next to my bed and use it as a weapon for how heavy it is =D.

Don't use Everest, use CoreTemp or HWMonitor. I'm curious if prime 95 would make it crash lol.

[ExAm]

Avast registers CoreTemp as a virus :C

[InnerGoat]

Maybe you should use a trusted download location, or get a real anti-virus.

[Boo Diddly]

Was a bit lazy and instead of opening coretemp I opened everest, was checking something for my gpx card anywase.


awhile back I lost my prime95 due to a reformat. redownloading it now.

edit:
ya, prime95 crashed it within a min on 3.8ghz =P. I ran it fine for just over 2 hrs at 3.6ghz. I figured that 3.8ghz would have problems due to what has happened in the past. During the test it held at just over 90 degrees according to coretemp 99.4, idle is at 45 degrees.

[Cortexian]

Those features are gay disable them.

My CPU is always rocking.

[CrAsHOvErRide]

The only gay thing in here is you. Those features are helpful.

If you turn those off you are just being another showoff.

[Cortexian]

Not really, turning those features off increases system performance because you don't need to wait for your PC to realize you need additional power.

My overclocked temps are still better with this CPU cooler than they were at stock speeds with the stock cooler.

[CrAsHOvErRide]

1. It's not about the temperature it's about the power consumption! Since your parents probably pay the bill you don't give a...

2. To wait? It takes at MAX 1 second. Probably just a few milliseconds!

So you tell me you leave the lights on in your room because it would be inconvenient to turn them on/off because it takes too long? Matter fact, in this case you wouldn't even have to turn them on/off. You tell me it's a gay feature if it's saves power, saves heat and increases CPU lifetime at NO EXTRA cost? No.

[InnerGoat]

Freelancer probably "folds" so it wouldn't be in the power saving state anyways.

The reason it's turned off when overclocking is because it can sometimes crash the system when switching power states. I never had an issue with it at 3GHz myself, and there was no performance loss like freelancer thinks. :smile:

[Cortexian]

Do something like 3DMark with it on/off. Off will result in a better score.

I do fold so I need my stuff going hot 24/7, and no I don't turn my PC on/off, it's too much of an inconvenience to wait for it to turn on.

[Limited]

You got me worried for a second freelancer lol. I ran Prime95 and it went up to 2.5GHz.

3d Mark, theres tons of versions going around. Which is the best to use?

[=sw=warlord]

You tell me it's a gay feature if it's saves power, saves heat and increases CPU lifetime at NO EXTRA cost? No.
Excess thermal induced expansion and contraction causes more damage than long periods of relatively high yet consistant temperatures.

[CrAsHOvErRide]

Do something like 3DMark with it on/off. Off will result in a better score.

The fuck are you talking. Besides, when does someone like you need full processing power? You clearly have no idea about this since you failed with your ligthmap calculation theory by a long shot.

Those fluctuations are so minor they don't do anything. Give that metal melts at such a high temperature the change between 20 degrees Celsius doesn't do anything.

My Core 2 Extreme's single threaded performance is actually less than my old Core 2 Duo E6300 when it was overclocked, rofl. I'm sure there's a multi threaded version somewhere that is more relevant...

I'm correct in that statement, what's your point?

[Rook]

Do something like 3DMark with it on/off. Off will result in a better score.

As long as the computer runs the games you play at reasonable frames, which I'd say is 60+ (exuding crysis --it's bad anyway) the waste of power and all the extra heat you're producing is not worth the few points you'd get in some benchmark software.

I can't see software requesting more power from the CPU taking more than a few milliseconds :\

[Timo]

What does that have to do with your 3DMark score :?

Wouldn't your CPU run at 100% anyway if you're constantly folding?

[Cortexian]

It has nothing to do with my 3DMark score, that was a separate comment. Personally I got a 100 or so higher points with the power saving options turned off though.

I get higher PPD folding with the power saving features off, those two stats combined lead me to believe the power saving features have a noticeable impact on performance. And as stated they will increase overclocking stability while disabled.

THE HELL IS FOLDING?

Srsly, fill me in guys.

I'm correct in that statement, what's your point?
In that topic you stated that your computer would calculate the lightmaps about 100 times faster than Sel's computer and you were wrong.

When you startup 3d Mark the computer will turn all power saving features off. It's not like Cool 'n Quiet is gonna take away 100mhz just because you don't need them. Only when you are idling which means using non-powerful software.

Folding is s distributed computing project all over the world where computer, when idle, calculate the folding of proteins after they have been transcoded (or was it translated) by the tRNA in your cells. After the tRNA they are basically just a string of amino acids but then collapse in a few nano seconds to form a protein and some scientists want to find out how it looks like in those nano seconds.

Oh, yeah I know what distributed computing is :D Did a weather simulation one years ago.

http://folding.stanford.edu/ explains it well enough

http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=osstats also, stats

e: - there's all sorts of folding and crunching projects, from mapping the internets to finding aliens~

Lol I dont understand the science behind the proteins and molecules and what not, but yeah I get the computing of it :D.

Yes, if lightmaps actually ran on GPU's like they were supposed too.

I'm just saying, in my experience I was able to get a higher score with the power saving features on my board disabled.

I'm gonna stop arguing with you because I am in a good mood :iamafag:

And yes it should have been written GPU compatible but that technique is relatively new (I don't want any responses on this statement). Shame we don't have the source code...it would be definitely a learning experience even though I think direct GPU programming can be achieved only with DirectX until now (afaik...someone can quote me on this one though and correct me).

what did i win?

edit:

Intel core i7 CPU 860 @ 2.80 GHz (8 CPUs) :3

[InnerGoat]

overclock that thing!!

i haven't yet tested my genie overclock button.

it might be time for to press the magic button sometime soon when i've got the time to let the thing run.
