Am2/+ and DDR2 are the only way to pass 4GHz IME |

Going to grab some Ath II chips as well i think ;) |
Lots o plans but not enough time......hope to get some productive benching in for the first time in months.
1) Time to refill dewars to tinker with 275 lightning again. 2) 920 that looks like a decent clocker is incoming. (My 24/7 920 is a first generation C0). If it clocks well, it may finally be worth freezing the C6 doms. These sticks were the best $450 I've spent in the last 6 months. Good RAM is like warm butter for overclocking and I haven't wanted to risk em until I have a setup worthy of the endeavor. 3) 4870 incoming. 4) Trying to decide whether to RMA for a 6th try at a good 980x.......or just sell it now and be better positioned for the next latest and greatest.... |

nice rom :)

Grats Rom! Nice job
|
Nice ROM!
Good luck Joey! Hope yours turns out better than mine. Here's what ultimately ended up happening to the $1000 I gave to that guy. Looked like it was gonna clock great until it died...... http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/6794/razer980x.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us On a more Supestember note, here's my meager contribution so far....... http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/3...atermarked.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us |
awesome patch! 3dmark01 is my nemesis lol only bench I dont really understand at all
Looks like all this gulfi will do is 5.6ghz vantage and 06 cpu test. Could be worse, could be 5.3 like our ES at the contest :laughing: 1.7v -135 is sweet spot. Idk why but as I increase volts over that the cold bug gets lower and lower, same with frequency. Weird Mounting the pot on the lightning as we speak :D |
awesome work ROM, somehow I missed your climb and recent scores, amazing work bro...proud to be in a team like this, :)

The guy I bought the A0 from just emailed me, he said he is no longer binning due to "some problems with "famous" guy" ... now he just tests them on air and sells them all @ the same price. This is according to him of course, but I almost believe it?
He said he was at MOA to bring some cpus to team Brasil, and also said he met Splave and Steponz there (or saw them there?) Check out what some people get to play with, he sent me a pic lol http://overclockaholics.com/forums/a...1&d=1284539599 |

Wow!

thats awesome
The lightning wasnt clocking at all :( no CBB or cold slow which was nice. There was nothing I could do to get it to bench past 1200. I had a hairdryer setup and everything, pcb was nice and almost warm to the touch. Im praying its a bad mount, got alot of the stupid as tan screen or just straight up freezing about 10s into vantage every time. Wasnt pushing mem either just at 1100mhz. ugghh fuck a duck EDIT: mount was perfect, something is not right here....... |

He probably is, just trying to take the sting out of wasting $1k on an impulse lol |
did elmor's setup included additional caps at the back of the lightning?
