George_o/c Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 I'll straighten out the pins in the following days and test the board a bit more, not in 32M again. I want to push it for some good 24/7 CPU clocks. It's a solid memory clocker, I know that for sure! Max bclk from my testing was around 242MHz. Quote
TaPaKaH Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 George, you could have bent one of memory slots (trying to keep it 2mm further away from the cpu) like I did on mine - solder quality on these boards is crappy in some places 5mins in the oven should fix your issue Quote
George_o/c Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 Thanks man. Bent pins are visible though (accidentally ), I'll straighten them first and if it doesn't work I'll try your way of fixing Quote
trans am Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 george just stay positive and see what you can do.. I know how you feel my friend. It sucks. I just got another board and 655 so I'm in the process of doing the mods and insulation. after seeing fester's board I'm taking my time and taking every precaution. did you see the pic of his board after the last session?!!! holy crap!

Crew Turrican Posted August 26, 2010 Crew Posted August 26, 2010 holy crap, that's what i call condensation. Quote
trans am Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 ^^ i know! I'm wondering if his board even turns on after that session. I've never seen anything like that before. It mustve been raining or something that day. Ive benched for 8 hrs at -100 - -140 and it never looked anything close to that. I didnt have grease in the dimms on the last run but I think I might do it and fill the recessed center of the socket just to be safe. also I always seal the battery circle with eraser. his is just out in the open. The leaderboard speaks for itself... I've said it before and i'll say it again. The Aussie team is the raddest! Quote
BenchZowner Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 Just submerge the whole rig in vaseline Quote
trans am Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 Just submerge the whole rig in vaseline I think you're right Bizzy Bone. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bizzy_Bone I cant take any chances. Its been raining for the past 4 days in NYC and today is the 1st day the sun came out. I just sprayed it all down and I plugged the new 655k in and the stock cooler and its all good. I'm gonna do some driver crap and then take it all down and do the next steps. I usually never grease the dimms because the last time I did it it just attracted so many particles but I think its the only way to ensure it makes it through a long session. Are you a contender too? it would be awesome to have you here. Sorry to call you bizzy bone. I'm not a huge rap fan but bone thugs in harmony wouldnt have been the huge 90s success if it wasn't for your beautiful voice and tweaks on the sound engineers computer when you guys cut the 1st record.

trans am Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 (edited) holy crap have you seen this yet??? you guys are famous! Its on the official gigabyte site for the board. I think they need to update the site asap with fester's frozen picture. that would be hilarious! http://www.gigabyte.com/fileupload/microsite/246/default.html Edited August 26, 2010 by trans am Quote
dinos22 Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 fester didnt use mounting or anything just plonked the pot on top lol Quote
trans am Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 (edited) dino how far do live from him? i dont know how tight you guys are. I just imagine you guys are all hanging out together in the parking lot of an AC/DC show talking about overclocking. you know what I mean? A good analogy for au team would be a band that has 3 guys that are masters of their instruments and just kick ass (AU team) or a jam band with 15 guys, maybe the drummer and bassist are really really good but the dude on harmonica and rest of the band screws up and makes the band sound like crap. I know I give you guys a lot of crap with the fosters and outback steakhouse jokes but the truth is I am jealous because AU team is the best metal band I've ever seen.

dinos22 Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 Wow thanks man but we are a bunch of jokers too that don't take themselves too seriously heheh Distances are pretty bad...here is how far the rest of team au guys are from me Youngro 1400km Kayl 4500km Eva2000 1000km U F 4500km T_M 6000km Bob(nz) 7000km Eeeeek wish we could get together more often as we have a lot of fun.

I have no expectations of myself. I just want to beat my last score and see what this new 655k can do. other than that I'm just excited to be back in here. Get in here with me! chew call me. @dino I'm listening to the ac/dc Dirty Deeds record in the background. maybe it will give me some aussie luck. Quote
