I have validations up to 3177MHz but they're all corrupt :(

I can post all the way up to the maximum 456MHz HT, but it won't load Windows. It sits at the screen where it checks the backup CMOS - it's still responsive in as much as you can switch Numlock, etc on and off and CTRL-ALT-DEL restart, but it doesn't do anything more.

So I decided to hit the TCCD again this evening. I decided to use the Ultra-D for a change as it seems to be the board for TCCD. I started fiddling and within 5 minutes I was posting at DDR720, but that's as far as it went. Eventually I managed to get Memtest to open at a gargantuan 3.5VDD, so I decided tonight would be the night that I finally break my CPU-Z plateau. A Windows installation, BIOS flash and another hour later I still couldn't validate anything higher than 345MHz (DDR690), so I decided to call it a night.

I was still in the mood to fiddle around a bit, so I decided to try my faithful FX on the new BIOS (623-3 - Thanks B)). My previous best was 3154MHz at 1.612v. Drum roll please:

Athlon64 FX-55 @ 3189MHz 1.52v (http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=345102)
Athlon64 FX-55 @ 3205MHz 1.616v (http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=345098)

I FINALLY BROKE 3.2GHz ON STOCK AIR COOLING!!!!

Oh my word, what a difference, and all that from a BIOS change! 45MHz increase at 0.092v less and 51MHz to my maximum validation. I could save validations all the way up to 3230MHz, but they're corrupt. As you can see, it's not scaling to well with voltages anymore, a 0.096v increase only gained me 16MHz, so I decided not to increase the voltage any further.

I'm thinking it's about time to put my 3700+ on the Ultra-D... Oh yes, I've got a 4000+ on its way to me that's even better than the one I posted above - how does 3.1GHz STABLE at stock voltage sound? :P

That's it from me for tonight, next up will either be 3250MHz validated on stock air or I'll be on phase change ;)

29 April 2008 - 12:18 PM

OMW, why can't every board be like this??? I set 1.456v (add or subtract a few millivolts) in the BIOS, and guess what I got? 1.455v idle, 1.455v load, 0.00v ripple, confirmed with a DMM! Not even my other DFIs could match this (LP UT NF4 SLI-DR Expert, LP UT NF4 Ultra-D, LP UT NF4 SLI-DR).

I'm aiming for sub 30 seconds at 2.7GHz, so far I've come up with this:
http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r35/Oj10101/1-2.jpg
Not bad for 245MHz 2-2-2-5, eh??? This is just to show what tweaks can do. 270x10 2-2-2-5 should put me well below the 30s mark. My efficiency is 81650, I'm aiming for sub 80k next :D

17 May 2008 - 08:23 PM

270x10=2697MHz 2.0-2-2-5, efficiency 80,659 (previous best 81,650 at same speed)
http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r35/Oj10101/3-1.jpg
Next goal: 29.663s for an efficiency of 80,000

EDIT: I also saw 25MB RAM used just before that run :D

18 May 2008 - 09:28 AM

DisablePagaingExecutive = "1"
SecondLevelDataCache = "1"
LargeSystemCache = "1"

Copy Waza > Kill Explorer > Pi > Open Explorer > Pi = best run

29.875s @ 2697MHz = efficiency of 80,573

http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r35/Oj10101/4-1.jpg

RAM usage at 28,416KB - 3,036KB (Task Manager) = Windows idling @ 25,380KB, 24.79MB

So I used a bit of LN2 to keep my chip around @ -40c (thanks Marc and Seth for pouring), and 1.82v later I hit this:

http://valid.x86-secret.com/cache/screenshot/384713.png
Athlon64 FX-55 San Diego @ 3916.49MHz (http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=384713)

Seth and I took it to about -45c core and JUST under 2v. The yesterday mourning I felt like really pushing for the limit so I started pouring it like water: -50c to -80c wouldn't pass 3.6GHz, -166c block started off with more than a 100c delta between the core and block and eventually got me -90c odd on the core with 2v got me 394xMHz but it froze while saving validation and wouldn't boot again. If you don't kill a chip you haven't found its true limit ;)

Hardware used:
Athlon64 FX-55 San Diego CABCE 0516WPMW
DFI LanParty UT NF4 Ultra-D
1*256MB Mushkin Blackline PC3500 BH-5 @ 217MHz 2-3-2-5 2.9v
Radeon X1950XT
Random 500w PSU which I prefer to my AOpen 500w

Vapochill time. I'm using the Intel boot as it lines up perfectly with the core and I couldn't be bothered to change them :P I don't have any method of securing the head right now other than... A shot from the top:
http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r35/Oj10101/IMG_9605.jpg

And the head attached:
http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r35/Oj10101/IMG_9606.jpg

I didn't get any core contact whatsoever, within seconds the CPU hit 108'c and the PC shut down. Here's the second mount:
http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r35/Oj10101/IMG_9608.jpg

Finally, the whole setup ready to go:
http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r35/Oj10101/IMG_9609.jpg

Unfortunately, couldn't get a tight enough mount using string so tomorrow I'll bring the cable ties. While I didn't actually achieve anything, I had loads of fun :D

11 August 2008 - 09:40 PM

Three 3700+s later and here I am. Well this is 18th on hwbot and nowhere near good enough, but it's about the best I could get out of the cooling I had available and two evenings.

Athlon64 3700+ @ 3446MHz 1.82v Vapochill LS @ ~ 10'c (http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=401803)

LN2 is going to help a lot this weekend.

EDIT: VERY nice cold bug, I could do 380MHz at -10'c

13 August 2008 - 09:22 PM

Mini update: Added 9MHz

Athlon64 3700+ @ 3455MHz 1.92v Vapochill LS @ ~ 45'c (http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=402833)

I'm badly temperature limited now, pictures coming tomorrow.

The bloody Vapochill sounded like a running tap or boiling kettle, I gave her a nice workout :P

I used a motherboard with only one surviving memory slot by accident :(

Second place wPrime 32M

First place wPrime 1024M

Not bad considering the RAM I was using :P

I had a 32m Pi at 282MHz 2-2-2-5-1T but the time stank (it needs 2x512MB).

[Karmakazi]

WOW Jonathan this is an Epic Thread p:D

I take it you found your flash drive??? (I hope)

[Oj0]

No, check the dates... This thread was four pages long with almost 3x the content but I removed the stuff I felt wasn't necessary. Core 2 and AM2 clocking, etc.

Oh, and THANKS :D

[knopflerbruce]

Looks nice ;) K8 FTW!
