My previous CPU was a 2.4C and I had it as high as 3.0 in an Asus P4P800
I think my my memory (2x512 Kingston ValueRAM PC3200) was keeping me down because towards the end I kept getting random reboots and I coudln't get it stable past 3.1
I don't own a DFI Ultra-D, but I've heard that it's one of the favorite boards for Overclockers right now. If you don't plan on overclocking, could you perhaps save a little bit of money by buying a slightly cheaper board?
I ran out of zip ties when I was arranging my cables and I used small rubber bands instead. It kinda looks ghetto, but they get the job done. I hate messy cables whether it'd be inside the case or outside power cables.
To change the multiplier on BIOS, is the setting to change it "Ratio CMOS Setting"? I can change that value and above that, option "Ratio Actual Value" is set to 14.
EDIT: Nevermind. I found out that's not it.
I have 2 extra 120mm Panaflo case fans. I'm gonna try to put one on the clear side panel of my case blowing in right over the HSF. Hopefully that will help.
Running WCPUID does not list the CPU as an ES. I took a screenshot of CPU-Z & WCPUID side by side but I can't figure out how to insert a picture into this board.
Anyways, I was thinking in getting a retail 630. I hope my Asus P5GDC-Deluxe can support that CPU. I'll have to check the mobo...
My CPU now idles at 42 degrees. It's getting closer to the 30's which is where I want to have it. I decided to sell it and just buy a retail Prescott. That way I won't have that tought in the back of my mind of whether it's an ES or not and if it's causing me problems. I don't need an ES if it...
Bummer! I'm also asking around in 2 other boards at the moment, and I think the consensus is pretty much to try a better/newer HSF. My case has good enough air case in my opinion. I have the Thermaltake SViking VA400BWS. I use SATA drives, so there are no big cables blocking the air and I also...
Okay, I ran TMPGenc and prime95 at the same time for about 5 minutes so far and the CPU load was at 100%. The CPU temp ranged between 62-64 during those 5 minutes. I also ran Throttlewatch at the same time and the TM1 Throttling never went up. Should I run them longer or is that good enough to...
Really? I guess my quest for cooling down my CPU will have to continue.
I ran Throttlewatch for about 35 minutes with a CPU load of about 45-65% and the Throttling never went up. It stayed at 0% the whole time. My CPU temperatures also never went past 61 degrees. The BIOS revision on my mobo is...
Thanks for all the advice so far. I already removed the HSF for the second time and made sure it was making good contact. I applied AS5 again and now it idles between 44-47. I seemed to have put a little too much AS5 the previous time, but I'd still like to get those idle temps lower. I haven't...
First off, here are my PC specs:
Intel P4 550 3.4GHz
Asus P5GDC-Deluxe Mobo
Asus EAX600TX/TD Video Card
1x 120mm intake fan, 1x 120mm exhaust fan
WD 36GB Raptor SATA Boot Drive
WD 250GB SATA Storage Drive
Coolmax CR-450B 450W PSU
Zalman CNPS7000B-Cu HSF w/ LGA775 adapter clip
Okay...
