Bring it together
First run
22.04.2008
Case Update
Bios settings, stress tests and benchmarks
22.04 .. 04.05.2008
2.4 GHz CPU clock (9x266) standard setting (Bios defaults):
3.0 GHz CPU clock (9x333), FSB set to 333 MHz, VCore @104.6%, RAM 533MHz, rest @stock:
So reaching 3.0 GHz is really easy ;-)
Adjusting the XFX GTS512 clocks (core/memory) to 680/1000, 720/1000 and 750/1010:
3.2 GHz CPU clock (8x400), FSB set to 400 MHz, VCore 105.6%, NB VCore to 1.405V, RAM 533MHz, rest @stock:
Did not spend a long time with this setting and moved forward.
3.6 GHz CPU clock (9x400), FSB set to 400 MHz, RAM 533MHz:
Setting 1: VCore 109.6% = 1.36V, NB VCore 1.405V, SB VCore 1.510V, VTT 1.211V, Clockgen 3.45V, rest @stock:
Unstable: 2h Prime32 under XP32 -> Reboot
Setting 2: VCore 110.x% = 1.376V, NB VCore 1.405V, SB VCore 1.510V, VTT 1.266V, Clockgen 3.60V, rest @stock:
Added a SilenX iXtrema 120 Fan blowing to the RAM- and SB-MOSFETs of the Mainboard
Unstable: 6h Prime32 under XP32 ok, but 30 min Prime64 under XP64 -> Reboot
Setting 3: VCore 111.57% = 1.392V, NB VCore 1.444V, SB VCore 1.640V, VTT 1.266V, Clockgen 3.60V, rest @stock:
Unstable: 8h Prime64 under XP64 -> Thread3 Fatal Error
Setting 4: VCore 111.81% = 1.396V, NB VCore 1.456V, SB VCore 1.640V, VTT 1.272V, Clockgen 3.60V, rest @stock:
Testing: 8h Prime64 under XP64 ok, but hot CPU core temperatures up to 66°C
Some Benchmark results with setting 4 and XFX GTS512 @750/1010:
Further testing around 3.5 GHz:
After a couple of further different bios setting tryouts, i used manual GTL REF Voltage Control settings
and could lower CPU Vcore a bit. Some longer stress tests later i reached this intermediate result:
3.5 GHz CPU clock (8x438), RAM 547MHz complete DFI Genie Bios settings
RMClock settings:
CPU-Z, GPU-Z:
Everest:
Aquamark 2.62 / 3.06 / 3.50 GHz with XFX GTS512 @750/1010 and 3.50 GHz with XFX GTS512 @stock:
3DMark results, 3.50 GHz and XFX GTS512 @750/1010:
Cinebench and SuperPi results:
20.12.2008
Harddisk update:
Added Western Digital WD3000GLFS VelociRaptor as boot drive and a 3rd Samsung HD321KJ for backup:
November 2009
NT destroyed itself with a loud sound, R.I.P:
Replaced Seasonic S12-650 with a Seasonic S12-550, which was already available.
What next:
- Further clocking, optimisations and stress tests: Maybe
- Rework of this page...
To be continued ...
