Wow it's been forever since I've been on here! This past year I had both a videocard and some RAM die and I decided to completely redo my entire build. I decided to go with an AMD chip this time after some reviews and bought a Ryzen 5 2600x. Here is the rest of the specs: Asus ROG x470-F...

So over the holidays I was finally able to upgrade from my 560ti 448 core into a new EVGA 770 GTX SC ACX Dual Bios. And so far it's been fantastic! Much faster than what I was running... But here's my delimma. I've been holding off on overclocking it until I was able to get a waterblock on...

So I've been playing with my new toy trying to get it OCd to max. EVGA 560 ti 448 core classified. Slapped a XSPC 480 gtx water block on it and it's been amazing so far. I'm not planning on doing any volt adjustments beyond maxing out the voltage in afterburner. So at 1.1v, I'm still...

OK so I've been having some strange stability issues as of late with my system. First off here's the setup: CPU: i7 860 @4.0ghz (20x200) HT Enabled Mobo: EVGA P55 FTW (Bios Version v59) Vcore 1.35 PCH 1.175 CPU PLL 1.8 CPU VTT 1.3 Dram 1.55 Memory: 4gb Gskill @...

Quick question as I haven't been keeping up with the latest memory chips when it comes to 2gb sticks. Curious which chips are used in these memory sticks? and what kinda of overclock could I expect in a DFI x48 board do you think? I'm just trying to identify the chips in each module if...

Anyone know if the current stock on Newegg is G0? How are the steppings comming out of there laterly in the last month or so?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820144034&CMP=AFC-Bensbargains Go get em!

So I've got 2xWD 80 drives in a Raid 0 for my main drive. They're both SATA II, 3.0gb/s. what speeds should I be seeing for a raid like this? Here's a ss of the HDTach results. Should this be higher for a raid? Closer to the 300 mark? Especially in a Raid 0 ? Or am I just crazy? Maybe...

Has anyone done any of the pencil volt mods to their DS3? Kinda curious as to how much it helps on the vdroop mod with stability. http://www.vr-zone.com/?i=3870&s=9 Links to some of the mods.

Having trouble getting the SMART monitoring for my raid 0. I get my 3rd storage drive which not in the raid, but not the main raid's stats. Setup is in the sig. Any help would be much appreciated! :D

Looking for a stock 7900GTX cooler to help cool my crappy 7950gt. :D

So I just flashed the bios of my EVGA 7950gt to an EVGA 7950gt Super Clocked or whatever it's called. Basically I was hoping for a better OC and it worked wonderfully. Now onto my issue. I'm able to run at 600/1600 no problems on this card, BUT when I run 650/1600 I seem to have the card...

Gigabyte DS3 Rev. 3.3 M.I.T. Bios settings - High Speed DRAM DLL Settings So what "timing settings" does this affect? The manual doesn't get into details about what this does exactly besides the most vague "this is if your memory woln't run over DDR1000". Trying to find out if it...

So I was wondering, been tinkering with my new C2D (lovin it btw lol :cool: ) I can get up to 3.6ghz on the cpu with some fair adjustment, but I can do it a few different ways. 1) 400x9 = 1600fsb then run the memory @ 2:3 ratio for a DDR1200 2) 450x8 = 1800 fsb memory @ 1:1 DDR1125...

So I've been working on my overclock of my new e6600 C2D on this cool Gigabyte DS3 Rev 3.3 Mobo. Here's the issue, it gets stuck in reboot cycles whenever I turn the PC off (there was a power outage when I was at work and I had the issue when I came home :confused: ). It's easily repeatable...

So I just got my new setup from the egg this week. Though I was a bit concerned about the stepping I got. :mad: L644G231 From what I read this is a horrid stepping. After about a day of testing (and an awful night of windows install), to my wonder, it's doing 3.2 400x8 on stock voltage...

Ok so I just got a Gskill-HZ UCCC 2gig kit and i've been having some issues trying to overclock it. Basically my CPU core tops out at 2.7 :( And i'm running a divider of 166 atm because I'm having trouble getting this memory to overclock and be stable in windows. My goal would be to be able...

Hey to all you guys out there who know which is which, I'm looking at buying a new set of GSkill 2 gig sets. Wondering if these two are the same or if they're actually difference chips under those fugly :eek: heatspreaders. GSkill 2Gig PC-4000 3-4-4-8 Model # : F1-4000USU2-2GBHZ...

Hey guys i just got my hands on some Gskill BH5 new from RMA, but i'm having issues getting it up to par. I can't seem to get it stable at 2-2-2-5, at anything abouve 235mhz, and even thats iffy, voltage has gone up to 3.25 vdimm in windows. I'll post some screenies when i get the chance of...

So it's official my core died today :( Tis a sad time. I'm about 99% positive it was from bad voltage regulation on the Ultra-D (it's one of the first Ultra-D's made not even a first revision :eek: ), as this is the second chip that has died in it in the past 4 months. Both died at 1.55...

Anyone seen/experienced the new OEM cores that are out there? Got suggestions for where to buy? I've seen some of the newest '06 chips are kicking a**, but wanted some imput first before i got a new one :)

So I've been running this Ultra-D for a while now maybe a year or so, i dunno, anyways I've fried 2 CPUs in it thus far, the first one i thought was just too much voltage over time, (1.65vcore on a 3500+) as it deteriated over time. Next was my 165, 1.55vcore I have no Evidence of this but...

HAHA just got a kick out of this thought it was pretty damned funny lol!

Ok heres my problem. I'm having a memory/cpu issue and i'm not sure whats causing my problem or how to fix it. Basically i can't get my memory/cpu to pass Super Pi 32M when i crank my memory speeds up beyond 255ish, even at loose timings of 3-4-4-8 it still doesn't pass 32M :confused: . Thing...

So up untill this morning i've been able to run my Gskill TCCD 3200 up to 280mhz with 3-4-3-6 timings. Now i went downclock my machine some ( to prolong it's life :) ) and when i went to reboot i couldn't post. Eventully got it started again by popping out the cmos battery and resetting the...

Ok so i got a buddy who just aquired some Gskill PC-4400LE TCCD, from what i understand is that this memory overclocks better than most out there right now. Anyways he couldn't get it to even run at it's rated sppeds of 275 @ 2.5-3-3-7, so since i've been having more memory issues than him as of...

Hey what can i do to get some more out of these timings? is there anything, i mean mostlly i've gone as far as i can, and every change from these timings hasn't netted me much of anything preformance wise. Got any ideas? http://server3.pictiger.com/img/39424/picture-hosting/final-oc.php PS...

Just curious as to what everyone is using on their everyday Vcore for the 165 chips.

Anyone know where to get one of theres just need the bridge. I hear they woln't give you one from DFi without a serial number to an SLi board, the ultra-d's aren't able to get a bridge anymore :(

Just playing on a buddies chip here, and wondering what other peeps are getting off this chip/stepping. For some reason i can't get it to prime past 2.6 @ 1.44Vcore. Can't go higher cuz it's on air and the temps are getting up there, 51c atm in prime. Any thoughts?

So at first i had some issues getting this Gskill TCCD pc-3200 stable at higher freq's. I couldn't get it for the life of me i tried everything, i had it running at 2.7Vdimm in the bios, 2.73 in windows damned DFI undervolt ><, anyways so i had this crazy idea to humor myself and try less...

Ok so i was able to get my mem up to 306 @ 2.5-4-3-7 and stable in memtest so i could run it 1:1 with my proc, but for some reason when i go into prime95 it fails after a few mins. should i loosen the timings more? and then try prime again? should i drop in a mem divider? I just don't know what...

Dunno if this is the right place to put this so i appologize if it is. I can't seem to get CPU-Z to recognize my bus speed/mem freq. It used to work while i was doing my inital OCin but since it doesn't show up. Any ideas? I've posted on the Cpuid fourms but nobody over there ever...

Need some help here. My brother just tried *tried* to put together a new system. Brand new A8N-Sli (non deluxe/premium), a 3200+ venice retail box, 1 gig of corsair XMS pc-3200, Evga 7800gt CO, and an enermax noisetaker 600watt PSU. Now he got everything in just fine and everything seems to...

Hey guys i just bought some new ram to replace the crap i have now. Here's the link for what i just bought GSkill pc-3200 TCCD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820231035 I got my opty running at 2.8 (312x9) . Currentlly running the mem i have at DDR400 with a LOW memory...

Heh i need to get rid of my the memory i've got in my system now. Since the only mem i've had stable in this machine is this patriot crap i guess there are mem compatbility issues with this mobo. Any ideas on what is the best combo for this board? runnin a Opty 165 OCed too, if that makes a...

I was just watching the Prime95 tests when stressin my opty, and i noticed the one instance i started before the other of the program seems to be running SLOWER than the other! Anyone else seen this, just thought it was kinda weird. :P
