The Stable E1000/E2000 Rigs Configuration Thread

[Perry]

Well, it hasn't finished a full 2 hour run through OCCT or a 6 hour run with Orthos but it made it through 10 minutes of OCCT before I had to back off because of temperatures. Come to find out that I -did- mess up my TIM application by putting the line the wrong way. Duh! That's on my list of things to do tomorrow.

As it stands, I think this will get me to a 1ghz overclock (300x10) if I can keep my temperature under control. Idle is 40 and under full load went as high as 69 before I cut it off. My Tempest just can't handle it I guess but I'll see how reseating the heatsink goes. Lapping my heatsink may be the way to go to get at that copper core through the nickel plating. This may be a question for the Intel Air Cooling section but which conducts heat better? Copper or nickel? I'm thinking the former.

What's odd is that OCCT and HWMonitor always read those value. Core Temp and SpeedFan show 40 or so under load while Everest splits the difference. Also OCCT and HWMonitor showed my temperatures backing down about 6 degrees at one point, which I'm assuming is just a hiccup. To add further doubt my temperatures in Orthos come up much faster so is it correct to assume that Orthos punishes your rig more than OCCT even though OCCT seems to fault out quicker? Any ideas on any of this?

Anyway, here's the low down, dirty numbers.

vcore 1.425 (shown as 1.440 in CPUZ - that still seems extremely high to me)
northbridge 1.393

I can boot into Windows with as little as 1.375 but my wife ended up with a BSOD when checking her email. Was she ever terrified. I felt bad.

I am using a lapped heatsink with an unlapped processor and I didn't use the cooler before lapping it so I don't know the gains from just lapping the heatsink but it might help you get some good temps for 24/7 use.

Lol@ the BSOD

Yea, my wife wont touch my comp if she sees the OCCT test on the screen. I leave it testing while I go to work. She scared just to see OC testing in progress.

I can't seem to get this thing stable for a complete run through Orthos or OCCT. What about changing the multiplier? Would this do anything to help with getting things stable?

My guess is no.

[PizzaMan]

I would say up the volts one more step, but your already running so hot. Your getting the same kind of temps I got with the stock heatsink at 2.96Ghz. The 680i board has some FSBs that just will not run stable or post at all. I would guess the 650i is the same way. You would prbly need to jump to 3.3 or 3.4.


The temps your getting with an aftermarket HS suck. I would be willing to bet you need better case airflow.

I'm not using the stock heatsink but it's still under powered. I'm trying to round up the cash for an Arctic Freezer Pro 7 since they're cheap and do a good job cooling from what I've read. Believe it or not, $20 is hard to come up with right now.

My airflow is pretty good though. A 92mm in the front for intake with the hard drives sitting below and above it so as not to restrict things, another 80mm on the side window that's providing air pretty much in the middle of the CPU, northbridge and memory, another 92mm for exhause and my PSU's 120mm pulling air out there as well.

I know it isn't a really accurate representation of my case temperature but my motherboard temperature according to Everest doesn't go above 40.

I'll keep toying with it though and see what my highest stable overclock is while keeping my temperatures in check until I can get a new cooler.

***EDIT***
I may have posted this in the wrong thread...

Alright, I guess I should do this properly.

Obviously I need better cooling but I'm working on it. I'm hoping to trade my old CPU for a better heatsink so we'll see.
