not the first time I've used recyclables to direct airflow in a computer. Attachments:

so it the CD cover to aim the airflow to the GPU?
I have the same PSU but in a 750W for benching. works well. but I never thought of putting another fan on it. Did you have issues with your PSU's fan?

No sir, I just felt the velocity out was a bit low and wanted to speed it up. Ya, the ultra 650 I got for 60 bucks worked great for years no complaints. as the antec design case is negative pressure, ive stuck with that. I blow the dust out inside every 3 months. I'de say the CD cover fan is aimed toward the cpu cooler. After sitting for atleast a half hour in bios temp wouldnt go over 32c. I'm just happy I can use $200 worth of asus hardware i've had sitting in a box for years.

snuck in another drive, another fan, then redesigned the "chute" to the gpu activated win10 for $3.50 . lol it's kind of disappointing so far, alot of win 7 stuff, including games, dont work. neither metro LL or Need for Speed MW 2012 will work with slight investigating. total buzzkill.

Been very busy after reinstalling win7, and my stuff to my 240 gb ssd, meanwhile I still have win10 on my 1 tb hdd and 2 Linux mint installs on a 200gb hdd and 80gb hdd Best part of that is the windows installs share ntfs format shared space Now that ive run nfsmw2012 I can say for sure my old combo had a bit of a microstutter, maybe 1 or 2 within every 10 seconds... I run all high with all FSAA up to atleast 8x, and im locked at 60 fps, vsync on (the asus on screen display is sweet) to get around 60 fps(guessing) with my old combo i had to run all low with no FSAA... now I believe the jump in FPS would be going from the 760 to the 1060... but it's smooth as butter now. not a microstutter in sight. i dont think my old 760 was stressin because it ran that game around 50c (low settings no FSAA) probably just a case of $80 motherboard vs $200 motherboard(then). Lesson learned.

That's how it goes for everyone at some point.
I haven't done much as of late, too many projects in the works and running a comp on top of that will put the brakes on things.

yes, I hear ya bones. aight, I'm a total noob, so feel free to offer any advice based on the following... Need to run the correct version of WPrime (1.55) hwbot.org/benchmark/wprime_-_1024m/All else looks good.
I know if subbing these at the bot they woudn't be valid but don't worry about that for now, just get a groove for what's up. If and when that times comes we'll get you going straight.

gotcha bones! short of advice or critique, lookin' like a done deal. edit , tried it a 2nd time without hwinfo up, got a better score, slightly.

Post by Macsbeach98 on Apr 23, 2020 23:59:06 GMT -5
Forget HWinfo for now in wprime open it click on advanced settings and put in 6 you are running it on 1 core.
|
|
|
Post by Bones on Apr 24, 2020 1:07:43 GMT -5
Yes, unless you know you're running a single core you'll always have to input the number of threads WPrime runs on for each and every run you do.
That's threads, not actual/physical cores except if hyperthreading is disabled or the chip doesn't support hyperthreading of any kind.

So I grew some balls and jacked up the base clock to 225 for a safe daily(vcore @1.5). Made this pass at 4.85 bringing my packges up to 64c doing cinebench, but after the test, even with temps low the system shut down a couple of times. @ 4.6 it seems solid, and performing the same cinebench at 4.6 yielded the second best 6350 score there with the 225 base clock. (running my patriot 1600 memory @ 1800) when I performed that test @ 4.6 with the 225 base clock the temps got to 55.5c on the packages and stayed there pretty consistent or a bit lower, running cinebench. I'm happy with these results for a budget cooler with my stainless tape capping the ends. I believe stability has become a problem before cooling. I've watched many vids on oc'ing these chips and sabertooth boards last few days, seems like 4.6 may be the "brick wall" Attachments:

changed some voltage settings to "extreme" and I seem to have a stable 4.85 (the top 6350 score in the list). All attempts at a 5+ ghz # have resulted in the old "fuck you" as win 7 is trying to boot. just restarts says oc failed. Ive got the Vcore @1.5 w/ LLC on extreme and it seems stable @ 4.85 , ran that cinebench, then ran NFSmw2012 for a while. During MW 2012 it never went over 42c. I think for gaming I'll run it at this 4.85 for production rendering, hell ill go 3.9 or 4.2 lol Think I'm done pushing this poor daily. Attachments:

It's a respectable overclock I think.
What is the Hyper Transport Link running at?

Post by sphincter on May 4, 2020 23:34:14 GMT -5
right now I have it set at auto. Im ok with the oc i have for air cooling with my cheap trix, but down for anything you far more experienced brothers would suggest. (short of killing my cpu for entertainment )

(short of killing my cpu for entertainment ) Auto probably has the Hyper transport link at 2200mhz. Probably set that back up to 2600mhz, it's stock frequency. And it may do 3000mhz without giving you too much trouble.

ok the 2600 is the highest option and with the base clock up that changed to 29something, set there works good, @ 4.85 still (just started for tonight) I really need to go line by line and learn what numbers to start with for many of the settings I have left on auto. Ive read messing with frequencies wont hurt, but overvolting will. I'll keep at it and try for a higher #.

Unless you're baking it with heat constantly, it'll be fine. Just don't go places you don't need to. Think you have a respectable overclock for the cooling. I'd just run with it honestly. Just was curious where the HT link was at. In a previous screen shot it was running 2.2ghz which is normal when it's on auto.

it seems volt hungry, 1.5 or it wont boot win7 @ 4.85 im thinking i might try less LLC and maybe 1.525 or something like that to start but they say 1.475, smepeople say 1.5 max.

Yes some of them leak more than others making them volt hungry, yes indeed. The trick is to get them cool, then cold, then freeze the crap out of them. You are kind of in the running warm area. Not hot, but warm. So to demonstrate what cooling does, I had done a TEC experiement some years back. This thread is ported from ClassicPlatforms.com and is not complete while the original conversation is gone. But to try and carry it on, I brought it here given the chance to do so. It should be informative at least? Give this article a read top to bottom. Just remember it's a demonstration the effects of what some chilling can do. Not for a daily set up. warp9-systems.proboards.com/thread/632/8350-4300-cooled-m5a78l-plus

@ Jonny, Cool I'll give that a read.
I'm thinking if I can't get it any cooler with bios changeups theres probably no reason for me to torture it past 65c(packages) trying to render. It tops out the packages at 55c and stays there running cinebench @ 4.6 , so thats my OC for rendering. It may also be smart to back that base clock back to 200 along with running the memory at the standard 1600.
I'm going to try for 5ghz just for gaming. If I can get it stable, I know temps wont be a problem for most games. when I said NFSMW never went over 42c, I meant the packages, not the cpu # We'll see.

after trying alot of different things I cant get anything past the 4.85. In fact some of the scrambled start up screens I was getting and error messages loading win 7 (lucky I got it to work again) have me thinking it's a bad idea to push it farther. I tried 1.525v for a 5 g load but wont do it, even with the 200 base clock, and all multiplier. just seems to get sketchier the more I try. That said I think this pyle is done. I'll run it at 4.6 to be safe overall. This speed is happy with vcore cut back to 1.475 Also I'll go with the base clock speed and standard memory frequency since I didnt notice a difference when gaming.

I'll run it at 4.6 to be safe overall. This speed is happy with vcore cut back to 1.475 Also I'll go with the base clock speed and standard memory frequency since I didnt notice a difference when gaming. That's pretty much how I run my daily rigs. Beat on them to show off, but use much more relaxed and cooler running settings. I have settings for silent/passive, standard frequency (boosts off) and of course overclocking. It's the only way to keep a daily driver going a long time. The 8700K runs stock base of 3.7ghz when I use it for folding at home. I don't have a need to accumulate heat for production. It does lower the points, but there's not enough point gain to use that much more energy. 3.7ghz 1v. Good stuff. Nice and silent and cool running. Right now, I don't technically have a daily machine running. Socket A has taken the place of my daily rig. Still spending time with her too. Which reminds me I have a cpu-z that needs a submit with a 1600+. Not the greatest frequency, but having fun. 2 sets of DDR memory testing. Seems both sticks take any of the cpus I have to the max frequency the cpu is capable of. Haven't hit chipset limits. I guess I'm trying to say that not all chips clock the same. Your FX chip..... does not like to be warm. It's leaking like crazy. Which makes it a good candidate for LN2 actually.

lol yeeeaahh I just got a lil skeered... first it said something about pagefault, then something about bootmgr being corrupted, and after a few attempts it just started back up and all was fine, thank god. with some expermenting tonight I've determined theres something between 4.8 and 4.9 that just wont work. Ive got a 4.6 @ 225 base clock thats very stable and running well with 1.5v vcore so I'm liking it. even having the memory overclocked to 1800 doesnt seem to hurt. Ive got the pcie frequency@ 110 and that seems fine. ive got my dram set to 1.6v for stability. still some voltage / frequency #'s people dont talk about much in oc'ing vids on youtube I have set on auto. Interesting points with the intel chip there. not a guarantee ill run amd on the next build. we'll see what's hip when the time comes. Originally I posted this build just to show I could do a neat assembly (compared to the pics in my intro, lol) but i figured pushing it to the edge is a part of the game also. Forgot to mention the whole time, the reason for all the stickers on the case is because the case is heavily scratched up from me being a young fool. stickers and neons good for 20 hp
