what mb u using??

[speedaholic]

MSI 890GXM-G65 gaming series... its a really gud board...

[iM@st@1]

i still needed a 1.45v to get at 3.8 stable.. multiplier set at 19x... dunno why.

u will need to change your voltage to go along with ur new higher clock... i suggest u google and see certain values for speeds

True, alot of tested speeds w/ relevant voltages. My 955 is @ 3.6 right now, idle temps 35°-38° w/ cool & quiet on. (which I think is best to leave on)
6870 @ 930Mhz & 1115Mhz idle 42°-47° fan speed 50% ....running BF3 66°-71° ...fan speed @ 70%. AMD Vision control centre real nice to work with btw. Contented with my present config.

Corsair Force GT 120gb SSD on the way

i turned on cool & quiet and it is not working....

i turned on cool & quiet and it is not working....

What not working?

[Virus]

As far as i know cool & quiet should be turn off even in my mobo book (ASUS) says that it should be as to why many reason as to the difference in oc they may have some pros and cons but heck mines it off and no problems

But for personal experience with it on the fans are trottled to avoid loud noises but if your oc then you might want to run at lease 65 - 85 fan speed anyways but i by pass that all together and my h50 fans are on a controller and i tock it off so as not to confuse the pump by variable speeds due to the sensors adapting to the raise in temps

Hope that help tho i am subjected to correction this is my personal experience

On that note chiney or hcca i looking for a single gpu, single pci-e 6pin low profile for a partner you all have anything for sale in that lines

[HCCA]

^^Nah, i haven't had a single 6 pin card for a while nah.

Have a friend who has a friend who has a gts 250 he wanna sell, go ask him how much he calling for it.

Thanks bro let me know

[Chiney]

same here..none like that

personal experience is never wrong

but either piece of hardware will overclock different eh, it took my a hardtime getting 5ghz stable at 67c max load

only because sandy bridge processors have this integrated video controller, that to has to be raised along with the cpu and then u got to set the values in the cpu itself higher, i kept ignoring that and concentrating on vcore and multiplier!

now i am stable at 5ghz and 1600mhz ram, no oc on ram for me..afraid of that

[mickey17]

hey anyone know if u could buy game downloads from amazon?

[Elyon]

hey anyone know if u could buy game downloads from amazon?

yeah you could, but only for specific games I think, I did it with bf3, had problems buying it from origin.

@ chiney's project, that looks awesome, excellent work, I'm to afraid of leaks to try something like that.

[Chiney]

^^ i dont blame you

i keep looking into the damn case ever so often

[mickey17]

lol.. chiney why u didnt use compression fittings??

[iM@st@1]

So cool & quiet should be off as a man say. Will attempt 3.8

955 OC Guide

[mickey17]

i did some testing and cool and quiet affects my gaming performance alot... so i took it back of.. i go take a lil heat.. is not long till i go intel anyway

[iM@st@1]

Eh heh, affects it in what way?

I have no performance issues atall @ 3.6... have 8gb ddr3 1600Mhz,that helps also. I just like that the cool & quiet gives some nice idle temps, not gona stress out this cpu too much tho. As they say if it ain't broke doh fix it

[mickey17]

well lower framerates in games.. and jus moves laggy overall in the games.. tested mw3 bf3 nfs the run.. mw2.. bfbc2.. with cool and & quiet disabled i get almost a 20 frames drop in all games.. i tested it both at 3.6 and 3.8

I hear it have a cleaning kit by Monster which works well.

RapTor have here:

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=120215&hilit=monster&start=90

I does use the solution in the green bottle to clean my laptop screen and body plus my pc monitors.



But the monster kit is a safer bet.

[desert punk]

ok cool i go check it out

[mickey17]

[Chiney]

^^ i do...

[xaira]

how many ppl have BF3 and plays it????
