The Pond Quad Core Thread

[Jay See Bee]

I'm running mine at 333Mhz right now... following the advice over at that C2D OC thread at Hexus...

(Note: Under load with Spinhenge)
core #0: 66C
core #1: 60C
core #2: 50C
core #3: 54C

I wonder if I spread that Arctic Silver correctly... Hmmm... that Tuniq Tower is a PAIN to install, so I hesitate to go back and try again. Is this kind of temp spread normal? When installing the TT 120, how compressed to I make the little springs? The directions said to NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE SCREWS!!!! ... or assumedly Gordon Brown will make another speech or something drastic like that. But I sure want to crank those things down another notch; even if it's only the top two screws.

It that with your case closed?

Here's my temps @ 3ghz

63c
61c
57c
58c

With the side panel on or off the temps stay pretty much the same

[Fluff n Stuff]

Yeah, that's with the case closed. I took off the side panel, they dropped 3C across the board. (need a new exhaust fan!)

I pressed 'down' on the top of the CPU cooler, and the temps dropped another 2C on cores #0 and #1... Hmmm....

I wanna get better air flow as well.

My case is in a bad location not to mention the hottest room in the house.

[Ned Slider]

Ahhh. A PhotoShop OC. Gotcha.

No, it is genuine, just not mine. Was some guy over at extreme forums - he posted that G0 at 4GHz (not stable) with AIR cooling

No way you'd get 4GHz stable under load on air cooling though

If I can get my room temp down to 16C I'm gonna go for a 4GHz post just to grab a screenshot

[Fluff n Stuff]

Okay, gave my Tuniq a few more twists to the upper screws...

core #0: 57C
core #1: 54C
core #2: 48C
core #3: 52C

Running Spinhenge, case side on.

BTW: BOINC Benchmarks:

Stock 2.4GZ
2347 FP MIPS
5111 Int MIPS
Spinhenge WU in 42 min / core

OC @ 3.0Ghz
2930 FP MIPS
6415 Int MIPS
Spinhenge WU in ~32 min / core

I hear ya!

I reseated my Thermalright U120 extreme while the MB was still in the case.

I'm still surprise I managed to get the darn thing back on properly

That's one of the reasons mine is still on the test bench. I don't think I could even begin to remove or install my SI-128 while it's in a case.

Go Fluffy

It's official - Fluffy is OVERCLOCKIN'

[Jay See Bee]

I am too but lets keep it low key as in between you and me

[Fluff n Stuff]

Running at 380 x 9 now... 3.42Ghz.

62C
58C
51C
56C

3317 FP MIPS
6973 Int MIPS

And I'm thinkin'.... 9 x 400 Mhz would be 3.6Ghz...

Greedy greedy greedy...

[Jay See Bee]

^ now you're making Ned jealous

Big time overclocker in the making over here

[Fluff n Stuff]

While I'm goofin' off, I found a link to this... cracks me up...




Do they/can they Overclock Macs now?

Congrats Fluff, You're now one of US.

Good one Fluff.

Overclocking a MAC? I doubt Apple would allow that, I looked around and found some people asking, But so far Apple is in the Business of selling their MACs, So I'd think they'd want You to buy a faster MAC instead. So No I doubt It.

[Fluff n Stuff]

Congrats Fluff, You're now one of US.

Don't get me wrong, Joker... I've had my current rig overclocked for years. That's the problem, really... years....

An XP-M 3000 with a 15% OC is... still just an XP-M!!

BOINC Benchie:

1853 FP MIPS
3119 Int MIPS

BTW, finally got some SETI WU's... I went from a 3.5 hour WU to 29 minutes... times four...

From 12 hours to two for the El-Monstro units.
