Nah, I'm afraid I've tried vCore all the way up to 1.65v and still couldn't get it stable

DoOb · Post by **DoOb** » 28 Aug 2007, 18:13

Grrrr ok.... Hmmmm, I know this is probably the wrong place to ask, flame me if need be, but I'm craving an upgrade like mad, but I'm seriously short on cash, and I was wondering what I'd get for my setup if I tried to sell it?

Specs:
-AMD64 3700+ 2.2 San Diego
-Gigabyte K8N-SLi
-2x 512mb Hynix DDR400 ram
-Jetway Geforce 8500GT

Any input would be appreciated. I again apoligize for thread hijack. (as well as for the spelling on "appologize" or "appoligize" or ... AAAARRGH!)

DoOb · Post by **DoOb** » 28 Aug 2007, 22:27

ram not much - R400, the gfx card R1200 for that. CPu R400 its a San deigo board - its a gigabyte so R350-R450.

Thats my input,

You think I'd get R2000 +??? AWESOME

How well does the EXOS handle the Quad and VGA in the same loop?

What are your temps?

NYRAD · Post by **NYRAD** » 06 Sep 2007, 12:07

well depends on the ambient temps but from about 25 up to 35 on the koolance unit which reads my blocks temps i want to get another unit to add to my exos aswell will take some screenies once my windows is up and running will do the everest temps along with cpu z and 3d mark 2006 i dont have adsl at home im at work at the mo
but if memory serves me correct the gpu is under 40 at all times and the cpu max temp is 30 underload

Post by **maxxis** » 07 Sep 2007, 08:44

Try using CoreTemp to measure the temps. External temp probes are not accurate nor is Speedfan. There is normally a 15 degree difference.

I killed my DFI's bios when flashing last night to the newest one on DFI's webpage.

Thing went all irregular when flashing then pc just switched off. O well, getting the bios chip reflashed and im back in business.

Hey guys well tonight it has been raining, so its a good excuse to overclock, Trax's E6700 again, but this time i had no luck, i was benching at 10 x 414 and was getting 12.500s 1M superPI. Was using memset aswell just to see if i could get a little lower. no luck. I am gonna have to go to 9X, i think then i will cut it, and also a new reinstall. That will help me for sure.

haven't got any screenies, wasn't worth the record. but i do have some pics and a little vid to show you my temps and insulation, and a little condensation.. alot less than last time.
