E8400 + GAEP35-DS3 + Team Elite DDR2 800mhz, Need help on OC guide

devil75 — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 03:12:51 +0800

Ok here's my problem.
I see numerous guide saying that E8400 should be able to OC til 3.6 ghz @ stock voltage.
But mine can't even get me into the windows.
I got mine stable running orthos and prime95 @ 1.275vcore.
i tried 3.8 ghz @ 1.325vcore.
Is that too high ?
Anyone using the same configuration as me can guide me ?
Ok my 2nd problem is that when i turn on my pc , the bios health status says my core temp is 35-37 celcius.
When i get into windows i start on core temp it shows my core temp is 50 at idle.
Ok another is that when i change my vcore in bios back to the optimized setting. running @ 3.0.
The core temp programme stil says i idle at 49-50 celcius ! is this posible ?
My bios is only showing 33-35 celcius
But when i use Real-temp and SensorViewPro they show my core temp is at 40 - 42 celcius at idle.
May i know which one is rite and which one is wrong ??
I running on windows vista.

Rules of the Comp

QUOTE

Competition Format

* » Stage 1: Qualification Round
* » Stage 2: Regional Semi-Finals
* » Stage 3: Grand Finals

Qualification Round

Based on your online submission of stock and overclocked results of the same system, this round aims to assess and retain only 6 of the best possible contestants in each country who know how to maximise their system. More information and requirements at the registration page.

* » Countries qualified: Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia & Thailand
* » 6 best entries from each country qualify for Regional Semi-Finals (subject to validation at each country's local office)

Regional Semi-Finals

Regional semi-finals will be held in each participating country to determine the local HardwareZone Iron Tech 2008 finalists. Here's the rough contest format for each country:

* » The 6 best shortlisted candidates in each country will battle it out in a public competition.
* » A total of 30 contestants in all 5 countries.
* » Standardised set of PC hardware will be handed out.
* » First task is to assemble their rig as fast as possible. Time taken will be factored into final score.
* » Next, time is given to install the OS, necessary drivers/benchmarks and tweak their systems. Time taken to complete all these tasks will also be factored in.
* » Lastly, live benchmarking session commences with a couple of surprise benchmarks.
* » Details of hardware and benchmarks will be withheld to prevent prior practice. HardwareZone Iron Tech is based on the participant's existing skills and capabilities.
* » Best performance obtained is the main criteria, but time taken for previous tasks will contribute to bonus points.
* » The best 2 contestants from each country will then qualify for the Grand Final.

Grand Final

The grand final will be held in Singapore and the finalists from the other participating countries will be sponsored a flight to Singapore, with 3D2N accommodation, to compete for the coveted title of HardwareZone Iron Tech 2008.

* » A total of 10 finalists representing the five countries will fight for the coveted HardwareZone Iron Tech 2008 title.
* » Similar general flow to Regional Semi-Finals, but with modifications.
* » There will be an added element of suspense as finalists will be offered a spread of PC components to choose and to build their rigs. This is to give them free play and test their ability to judge the value of the products and its usefulness to satisfy the Performance-to-Price judging criteria.
* » Time taken to build and setup their rigs will also be factored into their final score.
* » There will also be yet another set of surprise benchmarks to make the contest more dynamic and truly distinguish the best PC tweaking guru who deserves the title.
* » No details will be revealed of the benchmarks or the hardware options provided.
* » System power consumption will also be weighted into the scoring.
* » Final scoring relies on achieving the greatest performance-to-price ratio while maintaining power efficiency, in addition to time taken for the timed tasks.
* » The exact weight of each scoring component will not be revealed until judgment.

Abit Ax78 or Gigabyte MA78GM-S2H?, Which of these mobos is best for OC?

S4PH — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 10:35:44 +0800

Im new to this overclocking arena and want to change my current mobo for better oc features

My Current Pc Specs is:

AMDx2 4000+(2.1GHZ)
2GB Corsair DDR667 (5-5-6-12)
ATI 4870
510W PSU
MSI K9N4-SLI

I find that this mobo isnt able to push my FSB higher,so am planning to get a new mobo and hope to push my x2 all the way up to 2.9-3.0GHZ

Which of these MOBO is really good in terms of OC:

1)Abit Ax78 (Kinda cheap but tons of features)
2)Gigabyte MA78GM-S2H (abit pricey but as i know gigabyte provides good caps)

Hope sifu's out there can help me decide on the best mobo for OC and is my current ram able to go higher FSB or i also need to invest in performance rams.
