Show Us Your Rig [3]

[linnemeyerhere]

Yep with the heat pumping high 90's to low 100's here I've had to back my 4.7 OC down to a paltry 4.6 ghz.

Alan, I wish you lived closer too. We could build a nice rig together couldn't we? That would really be fun. We could have a rig building party and invite several others. It might take us a while to finish though. But, it would be great.

Its winter here now, so my room temps at the moment is 4defrees C ,so I am hoping to reach the 5ghz, but like I said its getting very tricky. Got any tips of the trade?

 

[linnemeyerhere]

I'm afraid my AMD and your Intel share very little in terms of how they OC is my guess. I just figured that once I allowed for voltage droop and kept bumping voltage up, things improved on their own.

The only tip I have is keep your room a 4C.

Haha,thanx Steve, I will see if I can order some icepacks or a few ac's for when summer comes.

Alan - Oh, I forgot you had the bulldozer.

 

[essenbe]

I have never had a 2011 socket, so I would be no help.

 

[Alsisgevat]

Yeah,but isnt intel cpu overclocking basically the same on all platforms,appart from heat?

 

[essenbe]

No. The 2011 has an extra multiplier, I've read. No such thing as that on Sandy or Ivy. I have just Bclck and multipier. I think you have an extra multiplier.

 

[Alsisgevat]

Will play around some more with the more advanced settings, but will do that maybe tommorow, for now I have it running very steady at 4.75Ghz. So will leave it for now

 

[essenbe]

Well done. Nice job.

Steve,
Would that just be too cool to have a computer build party and photograph the build in steps and then playback in stop motion. Of course taking breaks for great food and beverages !
Just like this !

11 Months, 3000 pictures and a lot of coffee. - YouTube

If we could have a build party every so often I'd even build a new one.

We could all tell our wives it is Gary's fault. :devil:

+1 bassfisher6522 and if we choose the right music and had some good lighting and tripods it would be a wicked stop motion video......IMHO !

 

[essenbe]

Alan, I did that once. It wasn't that easy or quick. Seemed a lot harder when I did it. But, I thought about some good food and beverages. After all, Gary had pringles in his screenshots, and Pepsi too. We Could probably come up with a better menu, don't you think?

 

[essenbe]

Alan, we could also make a good tutorial out of it on how to build a computer.

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Well I know my wine supply would keep us happy if not productive for quite some time! I'm jones'ng for another build....it's like a drug building these rigs and actually just as expensive but no where near as destructive.

Hey! How'd I get dragged into this??
My wife would be glad to get rid of me.

A pictorial tutorial.

This should speed up the build process considerably.
