The Overclocked Computers Thread

[Amey]

I received my MARS a few days back,so we decided to test it .So here it is, not a lot of results but still,

[COLOR="Navy"]Test Bed -

Intel C2D E8400/ E8500
DICE Cooling for CPU
AIR Cooling for Chipset/PWM
1GB*2 Team Xtreem PC2 5400 CL3
Seventeam ST 600EAD PSU
Foxconn MARS
Sapphire ATI Radeon HD3850 512MB[/COLOR]

Some Pics from the benching session -











Super Pi Scores -

5312MHz



5380MHz



Last and the best, 5410



Everest Memory Bnechmark

555MHz @ 5-4-4-12 @ 2.5V

Wow man... thats a cracker. Thats about 70% OC.... great going.

I saw one guy with air coolers, the wolfie clocking upto 4G. These 8xxx are turning out to be a very good deal.

BTW i am planning to go for 8400. Will the ip35-e accommodate thermalright ultima 90 with a 120mm fan? Is there enough space?

[reignofchaos]

^^The ultra 120 extreme fits fine so ultima 90 should fit easily.

Very entertaining thread :-)

Anyways, sorry to hijack, but can someone please suggest a decent gaming rig for 30k budget (for the rig. Monitor, keyboard etc I have.). 35k is the tops that can be spent.

[splitsecond]

^^Try to get this, close to 40k

Intel Core 2 Quadro Q6600 (Rs 10500 /- )
ABiT IP35-E (Rs 4900 /- )
XFX 8800 GT 512 MB (Rs. 13200 /-)
4 GB DDR-II 800 MHz (2x2 Format)(Rs. 3600 /-)
250 GB SATA-II 16MB Buffer (Rs. 2600 /- )
Cooler Master 600 Watts eXtreme power(Rs. 3200 /-)
Zebronics / iBall Cabinet (Rs. 2000 /-)
AMP 650 VA UPS(Rs. 2600 /- )

this will be a killer gaming rig

u can reduce price by opting for 2gb ram n choosing 1k ordinary cabinet

Ok. Here is my first baby step after tweaking around over the week end...

[gkrishn]

The prime 95 ran for about 1 hour with out any error at the above setting.

At full load on all core the peak temp reached was 70. The NB dosnt have a active cooling. May be i will put in a small fan next to it.

So the question i have is... what is the ideal cpu temp(under full load) for 24/7 system? What is the limit(again for a 24/7 system) i can push this proc to?

During my usage so far, the proc is running only at 6x. So even at current 345 clock there is enough power left unused. I just want to see what is the limit for this rig. The full config is in config thread.

Hi,
Good start there gkrishn.
Not trying to dishearten you but the temperatures look to be on the higher side man.
Are you sure,you got the mounting of TRUE right ?

You might wanna add some small fan or something on the NB heatsink. and also on the PWM area.

There is a lot of potential still left in the setup.

Work on the temperatures buddy,so you can bump a little bit.

Here are my temperatures with a Q6600 (B3 Stepping)



Although these are on watercooling, my water cooling setup was a custom one so might not be that efficient and in some cases TRUE equals some basic Watercooling kits available.So you can use this as reference point or something.

The temp was bugging me. When the fsb was at 333, it didnt go this high. But the moment i put it in (345 or 350) with current voltage, it started hitting 70 and above at full load. I will check the mounting when i get time. Thursday is a bandh here

Things are little cramped in pwm area. What is the smallest fan available? NB sure needs one. Thermalright has a NB heat sink. Are they availble in inida? That one with fan should pull temp down by 10c.

There is a lot of potential still left in the setup.

I just hope so. I would be happy with fsb@366 and memory at rated 1066.

Thats a B3 right. Then G0 should be little better than that. hhmmm...

a good high CFM 40mm fan over the NB heatsink and 80mm over the PWN should get things done.

G0 is much much cooler compared to B3.
