Thanks guys! I just got this monitor (VE278Q) and have being using it for the past few hours. My impression of this monitor thus far is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!! It is as if I'm looking at an IPS monitor but with a fast response of a TN panel, and it's a TN pannel. I had a Viewsonic VX2753HM-LED...

Would you be kindly enough to share your calibrated settings for the Asus VE278Q? ;) I read the review on Digitalversus and its color accuracy is already quite good out of the box. I'm just curious what's the magic setting for you to get even noticeably better picture :cool:

Get yourself the WD2001FASS, it's just under $170 when it's on sale and it's FASSSSST! It's faster than the samsung F4 and F3. It beats its own WD Velociraptor in some cases and other cases are about on-par. *Short-Stroke* is the key. Here is my newly installed WD2001FASS Benches. in Full HD...

Hi guys: After spending several days reading over hundreds of threads and articles on short-stroking/partition, I went out and bought 2 new HDD: WD2001FASS (Black)/WD20EARS(Green). My 3rd hd in the AHCI configuration is the WD6401AAKS that I've been using for 2+ yrs and counting. I'll use the...

To Everyone: I just bought the 18th Anniversary Asus P5K-Premium "Black Pearl" and I'll be starting a new thread similar like this. The OC testing methodology will be very much the same as this one. 90% of the OC results are going to be based on Prime 25.3 and the rest 10% will be Max FSB and...

You'll see me doing another review similar to this one I've in the next few days :) I'll be testing the new P5K-Premium (Black Pearl) and the existing Q6600 G0 + Ballistix Tracers 8500 I've. I'll be including a 4x1GB OC results as well. P5K-Dlx 4x1GB OC results didn't impressive me as much as...

FSB 470 * 8 @ 3760MHz 8Hrs+ LargeFFT Prime Stable - Final stable OC in the summer season. As per requested, here's the 8Hrs+ LargeFFT Prime Stable screenshot at your disposal :cool: LargeFFT Stress test is known to output the maximum heat, power consumption and stress to the entire system...

Word. My Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme is well screwed down without any modification to the mounting. However lapping its base is strongly recommended for max heat dispensing capability. Lapped Ultra120 X gets my volt :) Looks alright so far and G0 runs very cool so you actually don't...

Not a problem man, I'll gladly do that after I'm done with the Large FFT Priming to finalize the current max stable OC of the summer season. I'll make a screenshot by then. Be surprised of what temp will be reporting ;)

Reserved. Will update again when I have time to post all the details...

Asus P5K-Deluxe FTW ! http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1212009&page=8

Thermalright Ultra120 Extreme (Lapped) vs Ambient Room Temperature Ambient temp in the room when screen was captured = ~22.7C As you can see the Idle temp is roughly 13~15C above ambient temp in my room. NOTICE: Given Vcore Idles at 1.4880v, even so the temp is still amazing. :cool: So...

Wow that's nice in a way but imagine living conditions during winter time :p x9 - 420mhz seems to be more stable for some people to acheive the same clock. However my P5K-Dlx still manage to have full stability using x8 multi with the Q6600 G0, it's the best mobo for quads IMHO :)

How to manually correct Speedfan 4.32 core temp accuracy

FSB 470 * 8 @ 3760MHz 8hrs+ Small FFT Prime Stable. Core temp are 67~70c so this is what I'll have as my max 24/7 OC for this season. Ambient room temperature are from 24.9 to 25.1C measured with a digital thermometre; system temp is where the hottest place in my room. Ambient room temp is...

Thx :D My system is not Super Pi optimized so I wouldn't even bother to find that out at the moment :p First of all, I'm using Vista and have quite few background running junk so my super pi times may not be as impressive as the clock may seem

A New High Record! ~ 3800MHz Small FFT Prime Stable Preliminary Results ~2hrs. Notice it's FSB 475 Priming stable approx 2hrs and counting using x8 multiplier :cool: Core temps are still awsome consider it's air cooled. Of course this is with a little help of lower ambient temp today at...

4GHz Quad just for the fun of it. Notice that the voltage doesn't need to go through the roof to acheive this clock ;) Here is the CPU-Z Validation. With the amount of given voltage, it's enough to do some easy tasks beside Priming of course. 3744 MHz with low volts and Prime stable...

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :cool: :p

My Vcore at Idle is 1.4640v. That's the Vcore I need to acheive clock speed of 3.74GHz. I'm not sure if 1.4850 is the Vcore at Idle or set in BIOS. Becouse every mobo is different so regardless what's the volt you set exceed 1.5v or not. You should always take the idle Vcore into account. I'd...

Of course you need both Blend and Small FFT to pass stability test for more than at least 8+ hours to consider your OC is stable. Small fft puts out max stress to your CPU but little to the rams. Blend doesn't put out as much stress as small fft but it's considerably stressed enough to get all...

Hi Waterboy: I realized that we've the same VID at 1.2625v but you're OC on a Nvidia based mobo. Maybe that could be on factor that's limiting the G0 quad potential. Vdroop is another factor that could effect your OC stability too. Your temp looks fine though:cool:

Already posted about this in the previous page

Yes, the thermal spec is at 85c instead of the 71c for Q6600 G0. Anyhow, Overclocking-ability can never be guaranteed. No one can be certain if X3220 will outperforms a Q6600 G0 in terms of overclock-ability and potential. One may have a tough luck getting a lower binned X3220 G0 and one may...

FSB 466 & 470 * 8 PRIME STABLE Preliminary Results !!!: So I've being trying to stabilize my rams all night and I finally found out what makes my system having difficulties getting Prime Blend stable. You guys probably all have seen my current highest OC on air with Prime Small FFT stable...

That's what I'll be testing at my current FSB416. It's not possible to acheive max OC clock speed for my rams becouse of limited selections of dividers at current FSB. Unfortunately it's hard to stable quad above FSB460 with x8 multi so x9 multi is the only route for max OC CPU. I wish I can...

Ballistix Tracers 8500 FTW ! :D Just earlier today I started focusing on OC the rams and starting doing prime blend stress. It's a bit difficult to get stable than small fft but now it's priming away after I changed the NB reference to x0.67 from x0.61 (much more detail BIOS...

Thermal management for the box intel Core 2 familiy: http://www.intel.com/cd/channel/reseller/asmo-na/eng/299986.htm Basically look at the chart on the bottom of the page and it shows the Maximum Case Temperature in celcius for B3 is 62.2c (105w thermal design power) and 71.0c (95w TDP)...

WOW Unclewebb, your replies all have impressed me really!! You've being given me profound knowledge on something I never totally understand fully but you've made it so clear for me now :) The first time I've used your quote was about actual coretemp = Tjunction max - DTS and now it looks like...

Ok, one last update and I'm going to have some rest......7hrs Prime Stable at the moment :)

Ladies and Gentlemen: Allow me to present you Prime Stable @ 3744mhz results !! The system has being running nonstop for two days. So far Prime stable for 4 hours and 20mins and counting! Overall this is one FANTASTIC chip that's prime stable on air at 1.4560v and still under Intel...

I'll be anticipating your results my friend :D Thanks for participating in my other thread in XS as well :) watercooling is def the way to go for cooling the quad but thanks to G0 stepping, air cooling for quad can still be extremly fun and exciting :D

I can already see what the problem is If you take a look at one of my screenshot with speedfan in it, you can see one of my temp is also at 122c but yours is at 128c. BUT my 122c shows as the "AUX" temp which is something I cannot explain but something to do with the mobo's max temp of a certain...

Hi there, no prob asking noob questions, I was a noob myself only half year ago...yep I learn fast cos I spent too much of my time OC for the past time.. 1. Please download the new Prime to stress test all 4 cores. It's very user friendly. ;) http://www.mersenne.org/gimps/P95V253.ZIP 2. You...

I'm finally back. Alright, to answer a few questions, my VID is 1.2625 so this generally means the chip has better overclock-ability @ lower given volts for the same clock as the same chip running at same clock speed. For example, someone need 1.45v to get 3.6~3.7 stable but I only need about...

Ans #1: Nope, it's not necessary. This time, Asus has done a great job for cooling the P5K-Deluxe chipset using heatpipe based configuration to cool both the chipset and mosfets. The stock thermal pads were stuck on really good and all heatsinks on board are only warm to touch even stressed at...

G0 Q6600 in general should be promising. 3.5~3.6ghz on air may be possible if you've the right combination of things: The best high-end air cooler + quad core optimized motherboard. In this case, definetely go with the ones I've chosen: Thermalright Ultra120 Extreme + Asus P5K-Deluxe. A pair of...

HOLY Sweet Jesus ! ! ! At the current clock speed, it's already the same clock per core as my golden E6700 can do at the same voltage but 2x the core ! ! ! I wonder what's the max clock speed at the current given voltage, can anyone care to take a guess ?! :D :D :D If 3780mhz is going to...

You won't regret it. I can officially call E6850 vs Q6600 war to and end right now. Please check my next post ;)
