neh...thinking about maybe 2x HD5970's and a nice sound card.
we'll see

haven't decided on that yet.

Wow, this is gonna be awesome.

OT, is the a board as sexy as that one for Intel? I'd almost be tempted to go AMD, but I've spent so much time discussing this build and getting suggestions it's probably not a good idea...

This is an Evil post.

Must refuse buying 10XXT chip/mobo!!!!!!!!!

Looks good OP. I am jealous

(Also there is some professionalism policy here at OCN, might want to change the title, but it don't bother me at all.)

 

[Psycho666]

at the moment i got some problems with the oc

somehow i can't get it any higher then 3.7Ghz...
and how about the temps? all cores are the same temp...19c idle, and 32c stressed...no way that's possible!?

any ideas?

 

[125837]

You've been upping your voltage too right?...

Also, I found a sexy board for Intel, Rampage III

it's gonna be mine!

 

[Psycho666]

i've upped the voltages into the dangerzone...nothing...
completely lost here

will mess around a bit when i get home and post some more info

 

[Psycho666]

some more info on the system :
idle temp = 31c
stressed temp = 42c
speed = 3.6Ghz @ 1.4v
hyperTransport speed = 1300mhz @ 1.3v
northBridge = 2000mhz @ 1.3250v
cpu/NB votage = 1.25v
Ram speed = 1740mhz
Timings = 8-8-8-28-2T

so...what am i missing here?
what do i need to change to get it stable at 4ghz or higher?

 

[125837]

See if you can lower your RAM speed and tighten the timings, that might help

 

[Psycho666]

after some messing around i finally got it to boot with 4070mhz

the settings:
fsb = 290Mhz
hypertransport = 2040Mhz
Northbridge = 2600Mhz
Ram = 1540Mhz
cpu = 1.5v

it's running everest tests now, seems stable so far

will run some more tests after this

*using Force power Pursuasion* You will buy 2 of those CPUs and send me one

 

[Psycho666]

ow yeah!
stable enough to get through 30 mins of tests, AND a vantage run

will run some more tests in the morning...for now...it's off to bed,
and let the cpu and gpu fold

edit: how about a stable 4.2Ghz oc

it's been testing for an hour now, and it's running flawless

HT is now at 2100Mhz and the NB at 2700Mhz.
i'm loving this

 

[Psycho666]

Little update:
so far i've been without internet, so updates are gonna have to wait

but at least i can tell you:
i'm gonna order some new watercooling stuff soon (after the weekend) and hopefully i can get me a new case as well

 

[Psycho666]

yeah got me a new case

Silverstone TJ07W

and ordered some watercooling stuff so i can upgrade it all

the parts i ordered are:

Primochill PC Ice Dye Bomb - blood red
PrimoCHILL Dye Bomb - UV red
PrimoChill Liquid Utopia Protective Fluid
Anti-kinck coil 13mm - (200mm Long) - black nickle

Masterkleer 12,7/9,5mm transparant (3/8"ID)

Watercool HK CPU S754/939/940/AM2/AM3 Rev.3 Sonderedition Nickel

hopefully those parts will arrive tomorrow so i can start the tear down

pics won't be here for a while since i 'm on internet through my phone

edit: Woah 2k posts

The Tear-down

hdd in front of my old 1200

some fans that were in my 1200...

[jacobthellamer]

Nice work on the 4.2GHz overclock!

 

[I_dalder_I]

jealous, make sure that I don't steal the CPU, mobo and case from you

This'd be my dream system right now, i just lack the money to get a real case
