waays, Arc, you ever try Grid on dat system, cuz it's basically the same MoBo/CPU combo i runnin, and the audio is anot playing right during game play.

I had absolutely no problem at all with Grid, but then I used Vista 32-bit. Look closely though,
I used the EP45-DS3L, not the EP35-DS3L.

I say upgrade to the P45 version. I can almost guarantee that all your issues would be solved.
Consider using Vista x64 as well.

what that board cost you? and you sourced locally or foreign?

Arcmanov · « **Reply #223 on:** February 02, 2009, 10:55:52 PM »

So...the Q9650 is IN...

4 GHz maybe.....?

does your rig have sylar inside?
no??
oh ..

too bad

sananavich!!!! decent score.. hit we d 4ghz iwmc.

but wtf @ the 3dmark06 chip recognition lol PIII lol wayys lol hrmm i wonder if the majority of the funny looking scores on ORB are from buggy chip recognitions in 3dmark.... makes u wonder some huh

Arcmanov · « **Reply #227 on:** February 03, 2009, 09:23:33 AM »

Yeah...I wondered about that myself. I think its a BIOS issue.
Not even the latest CPU-Z (1.49) detecting the proper CPU name.

A BIOS update might be in order, because 4 GHz causes bluescreens...no matter what memory or voltage setting. More research immc.

Kraeoss · « **Reply #228 on:** February 03, 2009, 09:25:44 AM »

maybe when u update the bios the bsod's may stop u never know 3.6-3.8 is a good clock for those...

btw can u update the benchmark list to include me too....

MessiaaH · « **Reply #229 on:** February 03, 2009, 06:36:26 PM »

It was brought to my attention that Arcman has taken top spot with a 48 point lead. Impressive.
But as naruto says, i wont loose

Core i7, Tripple Channel ram, and 5870 X2 here i come

Arcmanov · « **Reply #230 on:** February 03, 2009, 07:36:42 PM »

I heard about that. The specs of that card are damn impressive.
This is a good development. It will drive down the price of the 4870X2 enough
so that I can get another one.

Philosophical45 · « **Reply #231 on:** February 03, 2009, 07:51:12 PM »

hmm two 4870x2's are nice visual ownage... but performance wise, not a smart buy.

bleh..

Arcmanov · « **Reply #232 on:** February 03, 2009, 09:59:49 PM »

Nah, not for crossfire. As a 'spare'. Maybe even a 4850X2 for the LAN rig.

^^ I think yer right. He spelt "triple" wrong!

What handgun? You mean shotgun...

One BIOS update and several hours of tweaking later...

This CPU is a keeper.

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #235 on:** February 04, 2009, 02:57:01 AM »

Quite impressive! Are you IntelBurn stable at those speeds?

Philosophical45 · « **Reply #236 on:** February 04, 2009, 05:57:48 AM »

SWEET! what's the heet report on that sananavich?

Arcmanov · « **Reply #237 on:** February 04, 2009, 06:03:19 AM »

I shall do some proper stress testing this weekend. We shall see how it fares, stability-wise.
I have a feeling though, that it may fail a sustained stress test, as I had to use 1.4V Vcore
to get the system stable enough to pass the CPU tests in 3DMark06.

Right now I'm looking for the proper combo of auxiliary voltages (Vtt, NB, SB, PLL, etc) to have everything
completely stable.

Surprisingly though, the BIOS update seems to have improved the temp reporting from the on-board sensors.
CPU idle temp is 35C. Max load temp, even at 4 GHz, is approx 45C. Thats a whole lot better than the Q9300,
which was idle at 42C, and 55C at load...and that was at 3 GHz.

Intel has seemingly worked some kinda thermal magic with this CPU.

Kraeoss · « **Reply #238 on:** February 04, 2009, 11:11:52 AM »

OCCT 3.0 out dunno if u use this program but it's what i use alone to stress out my cpu also it can do the gpu and psu lol has latest linpack engine for maximum heat lol..

impressive temps for that clock, hmm some intel black magic there..lol
