DerekT Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I find it hard to believe that such a w/c system working correctly is returning 62C load temps on 3.15Ghz. My Thermalright Extreme 120 returns better temperatures than that. After researching your g-flow I think you may wish to read this thread: http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=484559&highlight=innovatek+G-Flow I wonder, are you able to return that block for a swiftech one?

pushook Posted November 23, 2007 Author Share Posted November 23, 2007 so again. now i have changed the position of the radiator and placed 2 more fans on it now the radiator stands upright wit 4 fans of 120mm the temps are much better. 370fsb - 3330Ghz @ 1,37vcore temps idle:36-36-34-34 on cpu MB=38° NB=43 SB=42° Dram is @ 984Mhz -5-5-5-15 - 2,1v temps full load: (5min Stress) cpu=55-55-48-48 MB=39 NB=49 SB=44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 OK, that's decent enough. I would continue the overclock, raising the Vcore when necessary. These G0's can take 70C. They have a tjunction of 100C and a throttle of 80C. So as long as you are below 70C you will be fine. I have to make 1.46V on the core to make 3.6Ghz. So let's see how good your chip is :D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pushook Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 So, now I´m on 3,6 Ghz with these settings: 45min Prime stable. No reboots like the Bad Axe 2 Motherboard Q 360 Mhz FSB This Board with This Ram is much much better to overclock. vcore: 1.38 SB: 1.07 SB2: 1.54 FSBT: 1.47 DRAM:2.08 NB: 1.44 TEMPS: (core Temp 0.94beta) CPU-> 60-60-57-57 MB-> 39 NB-> 49 SB-> 45 Auto settings in the bios raised the vcore to 1.43 but I adjusted manually to 1.38. Maybe I can go deeper on the vcore. DRAM voltage are 0.1 different from bios to PCProbeII Bios Dram Voltage 2.00(bios)->PCProbe readout 2.10v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Very nice. Your temps are about 8C better than my Air cooling which is fine by itself so you are good. A far better board than the Bad Axe 2. I have another name for that board but will not mention it here. Glad you made the move. Enjoy :p: Your board might be overvolting. You can get a digital multi-meter and test the Vdimm of the board to get a precise readout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pushook Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 Ok now I´m @ 3,7Ghz with 1.38vcore :biggrin: tomorrow i will go on 4Ghz:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pushook Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 So last update tonight. CPU-> 3.870Ghz@1.39vcore Dram-> 860/1:1 @ 2.10v Temps idle: CPU-> 42° MB-> 35 NB-> 41 SB-> 40 Will test tomorrow with Prime 95 if it is stable with these settings.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 That's a very low Vcore for that speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pushook Posted November 25, 2007 Author Share Posted November 25, 2007 So here is a screenshot with 430FSB 7min Prime stable/must raise the vcore a notche more for longer stability temps under load are between 63-69° Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 That is some fine CPU. Don't be afraid to raise the Core Voltage for stability. That's the lowest VID I have seen for a Quad Core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the lowest VID I have seen for a Quad Core. So 420x9 is OCCT stable with these settings: vcore->1.50v->65-69° NB->1.46v->55° SB2->1.60v->50^ SB->1.10v FSBT->1.52v MB->45° DRAM->2.10v->840Mhz/1:1 5-5-5-15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Once you have found your final Overclock and have tested it to be Prime95 stable for ~8 hours, then you can move to optimal DRAM throughput. You are doing well, but it is easy to see that you are not an amateur either. :) That is one of the best Quad Core VID's I have seen. For example, my VID is 1.3V.

I think I will stay @ 420x9 for 24/7 but tomorrow I will go on for 440 for a short time if its possible to do that. I have seen you are using core temp 0.95.4b! For me I couldn´t start this new version it ends up in a reboot same on the intel board. I´m suprised thats working on your machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pushook Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 Hi DerekT, new situation now with 420FSB Yesterday the sys was OCCT stable. Today I did run a few tests wit everest 4.xx all CPU tests passed FPU Julia->reboot FPU Mandel->reboot FPU SinJulia->passed next thing is the ram. 840Mhz-> win starts up 1006Mhz too 1022->no boot (2.2v) raised the NBvolts up to 1.55(pcProbe) no boot played Crysis freeze after 10sec/figured it out was a GPU problem, with OC the GTX crysis freezes very strange this wasn´t on my intel board. maybe a bug in the game. on 400x9 there are no problems with everest to do all tests any suggest?

DerekT Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 OCCT is a hard and fast test but for a long term CPU test, you need to test with Prime95 for ~8 hours or more. Also, you need to test with memtest86+ v1.70 to ensure DRAM stability. Have you done this? Every change to the overclock should have a memtest and OCCT. Then if both pass, if you have system errors you need to Prime95 for long-term. As well, you will find certain DRAM ratios do NOT work with these chipsets. That is why you are erroring and why 3.6 is probably a good stopping point. It allows for a very fast DRAM throughput and CPU speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerekT Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Are you running any cooling on your Northbridge? Do you need ~1.6v for stability? What are your bridge temps (full load) with 1.6v? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pushook Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 Are you running any cooling on your Northbridge? Do you need ~1.6v for stability? What are your bridge temps (full load) with 1.6v? Now I use the same settings from 400-420x9, no reboot in everest (FPU Julia) Tried with lower NB (1.5) @ 1053Mhz no boot. NB temp is @ 55-65° watercooled MB temp 45° with 1.63v on NB I can boot to windows. Now I´m running @ 840Mhz 1:1 with this score:read/7113-write/7662-copy/7775-lat/76,1 SuperPI-1M/13,734 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Can you set the DRAM to ~1000Mhz with 5-4-4-12 and 2.2v? tRFC = 30 Write to Precharge Delay (tWR)= 17 Write to Read Delay (tWTR) = 17 Act to Act Delay (tRRD) = 6 Read to Write Delay (tRD) = 8 Read to Precharge (tRTP) = 9 Test with Memtest first... NB temp is @ 55-65° watercooled MB temp 45° The X38 is every bit as hot as the 680i . . . You do have fans inside the box? On the DRAM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pushook Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 good morning sir^^ what time you have in canada? so I figured out with 420x9. to much vcore ends up in a reboot (everest/Prime95) I retested and this are the new settings for it: vcore:1.43 NB: 1.60->1.59bios FSBT: 1.49->1.44bios SB: 1.10->1.075bios SB2: 1.54->1.50 Prime stable for 20min of testing temps are CPU (58-62°) now under full load/NB 57° / SB 49° on my (old) intelboard I burnt my fingers on the bridge^^ on air will test the ram @ 1000Mhz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerekT Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 1:30am. Good morning. :) Your temps are fine. Your SuperPi at 840Mhz (DRAM) is faster than my 3.6Ghz with 1200Mhz. I make 14.047s. watercooling for my rams coming this week or next week(hopefully) Good, then you can leave pushing the voltage until then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pushook Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 is there a newer version of memset out? my old doesn´t support this chipset in the bios the min/max for (TWR),(TWTR) is "15" or lower so I can´t set it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Set them to 15 and then 14 if they test fine at 15. The X38 must recover faster than the P35. That makes sense and shows in your SuperPi... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
