Experimental radiator \build log!!!

[toolmaker_03]

well here are the radiators, my problem is the configuration of them, simply too many possibilities, so if you could find the time to give your opinions, I would really appreciate it.
I also need advice on a type of shroud for the radiators, the purpose is to inshore good air flow through the radiator.
and lastly how to attach the fans to the radiators?



all advice is welcome and thank you

ok so i have been playing with this for a while now and this is how it runs in order not to bottle neck the video cards the processor needs to run at 3.7GHz with the video at stock speeds this clock is all that i need to play every game i have right now on 2048 X 1535 with maxed out settings. so this is where i will leave it for now. the next stable clock i found was 4.1GHz on the CPU 235 core speed memory at 1235MHz or 618 in cpu-Z, the video can go to 854 core 1708 shader and 4118 memory. all clocks after that i can not get to hold stable but i did get it to benchmark at 4.5GHz on the CPU 253 core speed memory at 1325 MHz or 663 in cpu-z and the video at 1000MHz core 2000MHz shader 4554MHz memory but it is not stable at that clock just really fast. maybe there is a way to stablelize this top clock but i do not know how?

so basicly every 400MHz on the cpu gives me 150MHz on the GPU for overclocking.

Aren't you running a 6X 1100T AMD Black Edition CPU, as listed in your sig?

Why are you raising the core speed?

It's an unfricking locked multiplier CPU!

The AMD Black Edition Overclock Guide will also work with your 6 core CPU.

You're causing your instability.

Don't come back with a long explanation why you think your way is better, you're overclocking now and you're in my territory.

 

[wolfram23]

I'm just impressed that his DDR2 is going up so high lol.

 

[Lutfij]

you need a killer board to get the job done 😉 (plus the rams)

side tracking a bit:
is this you?

 

[toolmaker_03]

ok so do not mess with the core speed then how do you get the ram speed up? or do i need to, i have read that slower speeds with tighter setting will give better results?
as far as clocking this i would like the help, i do want to see the best that this can give me.

i was only doing what i know how to do, not what is best for this computer there are so many things i can do that i have left a lot of it alone untail i know what it means and what it does and why.

 

[toolmaker_03]

this board has the extreme tweek screene in the BIOS i have more controll over how this board runs than i have ever had before so i do not know what to do with all of it yet maybe you could help.
i have read the clocking by the multiplyer threed several times, i jist thought that was only one half of it, sorry 4ryan6 I did not know any better.
based my knowledge on the K7 and 939 builds I have, but this one has a lot more to it.

 

[4Ryan6]

Just follow the guide TM03, it has worked for thousands of people, before I rewrote and re-posted it, it had accumulated over 80,000 reads, I've lost count of the Thank You PMs, from people using it.

Trust me it will get you where you want to go, if you follow it. Ry

 

[toolmaker_03]

ok so here is the question is this system ganged or not?
the bios allowes me to ungang the memory so if i increase the CPU multi that incerasess the mem speed too regardless?
and the NB is still affected as well if the CPU multi is raised?
i have noticed that as i clock the CPU by the multi that i need to increase the NB voltage but not the HT speed why?
as well at 21.5X the memory wanted to run at 800 not 1066 so if i increase the voltage and relax the timmings on the mem it might help?

and no it's not stable, so my way is not better, it's not better at all.

 

[4Ryan6]

Use the Ganged option for a 64bit OP/SYS then, Follow the Yellow Brick Road!

 

[toolmaker_03]

here is good example of what i mean at stock the CPU wants 1.47volts and the NB is at 1.24volts but at 18.5X it wants 1.58volts on the CPU there is a (.6 voltage ref)the NB wants to run at the same voltage as the processor at 1.58volts this voltage will take me to 20.5X before i need to increase it again but it seems a little high to me but it is stable and will play games so i let it be.

i have been playing with it both ways to see what happens but it does seem to be more stable with only multi clocks on the CPU.

Sounds to me like you've still got something on Auto instead of MANUALY controlled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is not about what it wants!

This is about what you manually set! and make it do, what you want!

You aren't even using the guide are you?

 

[toolmaker_03]

yes i do some of the settings i do not understand what thay are and the bios does not show what the stock setting should be so i am still working on that issue will have it fixed as soon as soon as i find out what thay should be.

 

[toolmaker_03]

what i mean is that at a lower voltage settings it will not hold stable
and i cahnged the memory settings to 800 to get it boot

 

[4Ryan6]

I wrote the guide, because I just don't have the patience to hold your hand and walk you through your overclock.

I did have the patience to spend weeks of writing, testing, research, and rewriting, the guide, so you would have the information available to you, to help yourself.

The best thing for you to do is clear the CMOS of all your settings and start from scratch.

 

[4Ryan6]

yes i do some of the settings

You have to follow the guide 100% for it to work as written, you don't just pick the parts of the guide you want to use and disregard the rest of it, or it won't work for you.

If there's motherboard terminology in it you do not understand, that's what Google is for!

 

[toolmaker_03]

ok i will get every thing in manual and try again i will let you know how that goes.

 

[toolmaker_03]

ok so here are some pics of the temps at idol





the second temp pic is the water temps on each loop the first is loop 2 and the second is loop 1 that the cpu and GPU's are on.

 

[Lutfij]

nice

you gotta use chrome mate! much cleaner an simpler than IE.

 

[4Ryan6]

Where are you with your overclocking?

 

[toolmaker_03]

stil workng on geting all of the maual settings for my BIOS.

about 15 places still in auto with no known settng for them yet.

** edit ok I have it all in manual now and I have clocked the processor to 3.7GHz 1.57Vcore and 1.38V on the NB it went down a little by setting it to all manual control but the processor still seems a little high to me but at lower settings for the voltage it does not hold stable **

 

[toolmaker_03]

Ok so after playing for 6 hours on the computer the water does not get over 100 F or if I crank the fans it stays at 92 F but the video stills goes to 135 F at times during game play and the processor will go to 135 F for a second than drop back to 125 F and the mobo stays at 125 F under load and the rest is at 100 F or at 92 F the same as the water is this good or should it be better?

 

[toolmaker_03]

well this is what it looks like at 3.7GHz and the video at stock settings I do not think this is bad?

 

[toolmaker_03]

should i remove one of the sli lines on the video card i have two on but i see only one on most of the builds

 

[Lutfij]

its about the aesthetics of a setup, people put two just for the sake of making it look nice. two is needed if you're gunning for a tri/quad sli setup

 

[toolmaker_03]

Thank you I was wondering about it and if it might hurt the cards but it seems as if it won’t so I won’t worry about it anymore.

Would it do any good to get another 480 not to link them but as physics card only?
