Having issues getting past a stable 5.3Ghz on the Tpower/e8500 on DICE. Not sure whats up. Maybe ram is limiting higher clocks? Anyway, here are my 2D results from yesterdays session.

SuperPi - 8sec 906ms - OC Maximus (OCAlliance) - (Intel Core 2 E8500 (3.17Ghz) @5231MHz) 2.6 points
wPrime 1024m - 7min 39sec 687ms - OC Maximus (OCAlliance) - (Intel Core 2 E8500 (3.17Ghz) @5231MHz) 5.8 points
wPrime 32m - 14sec 422ms - OC Maximus (OCAlliance) - (Intel Core 2 E8500 (3.17Ghz) @5232MHz) 10 points

And a little 3D01 actions just for fun

3DMark2001 SE - 91184 marks - OC Maximus (OCAlliance) - (Ati Radeon HD 4870 @900/1100MHz) 1 + 11.2 points
3DMark2001 SE - 90025 marks - OC Maximus (OCAlliance) - (Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS 320 Mb @792/1152MHz) 21.5 points

I'll be going at it again later on this week. Must figure out this e8500.

highest i passed vantage was 1.75v 5.5ghz :/

but i dont have rogconnect to up the clocks for 3d then lower it for cpu test

i can boot in w7 @6ghz but xp has to be 5.75ghz or it bsod even if its not cold enough it would in xp

but need to do new installls and mod the hd 4850

You know it

Think I killed a stick of DDR2 pushing it. Kingston HyperX RIP.

CPU and Board are doing fine, just not clocking like I want it too. Gonna try the Commando/e8500/Ballistic's in a few days. We'll see what happens.

This is my first time overclocking DDR2 and I think I've made a grave mistake. 4-4-4-12 @ 2.5v may have been too much for the Kingstons, only lasted a for a few benches. I've learned my lesson although I know its gonna cost me. Need to get some better DDR2.
