I was looking forward to testing this, if only because Richard Garriott's name is attached to it. I used to pop into his office to report bugs on Osgood St. in North Andover, MA back in the Ultima 3 days (ok so I'm old). I received my invite via email from NCSoft and played for about an hour...

answered with my schedule via email.

I'm in as well, been playing the past 3-4 weeks. The way I got in was by being an active alpha tester for Mythos. Many Mythos testers were invited to become HGL testers.

Bonzai, thanks I'll keep tweaking. I did mention my cooling in the very first post in this thread. I'm using a Tuniq Tower 120. My goal here is 3.5GHz with reasonable voltage and temps, I'm not looking to squeeze every last bit out of this. I just want to be cool and safe. I thought I was...

After reading a little about the above settings, I'm now running 391x9@1.425v MCH 1.33 VTT 1.23 ICH 1.15 ICH10 1.60 DDR2 2.2V (memory rated at 2.2V) 4-4-4-12 1:1 Core temps are 67-69 under load with PRIME95 Room temp is about 78F Still too much voltage and too much heat for my...

I haven't touched those (since I don't know what they are and don't want to blow anything up). They are: MCH 1.25 VTT 1.20 ICH 1.05 ICHIO 1.50

Well, I'm admitting I'm a failure. After running Prime95 with the above settings, I found the system to be unstable. I'm back to 405x8@1.375v and it's stable, but I was hoping it would be fairly simple to get to 3.5GHz with a G0. Nobody else seems to have much issue, and I know my gear...

I just took a different approach. 389x9@1.325v. It's slower than I was able to achieve with x8, but it's also 43C instead of 51-53C.

I've made some progress. The issues appear to have been with my memory settings, default was 1.8v while this memory required 2.2v. I manually changed DDR voltage to 2.2, then set the memory to 4-4-4-12. I hard set CPU voltage to 1.5 and a multiplier of 8. Then I started using a combo of...

It appears it is BIOS overclocking, just with a windows based app controlling the BIOS settings. ie, if i make a change in uGuru, then reboot and go into BIOS, the change has been made in BIOS. In any event, I've made it a little bit further. I reset the BIOS, then tried with x8 this time...

I just changed the memory settings from Auto to 4-4-4-12 and now can't POST. The board LED shows a C1 which is 'Detect memory - auto detection of DRAM size, type and ECC'

I just put together a new machine and I'm now trying to OC it. I've followed the OC guide in the sticky but I'm running into problems with the simplest changes. I have an Abit IP35 Pro w/Q6600 G0 4x1 gig of Crucial PC6400 (CPU-Z shows 5-5-5-18, but this is 4-4-4-12 memory per NewEgg - link...

Ok, we're in business finally, though I have no idea how anyone is supposed to do any sort of wire management with this many wires. I wouldn't even know where to begin. I just kind of shoved them all out of the way of the fans. I had to pull out the motherboard again after mounting the...

AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I should have read the post above more carefully about installing the Tuniq. I had just about everything assembled with the exception of the CPU and Video card. I then went to install the CPU and Tuniq. D'OH!!! You have to install a backplate on the underside of...

I love newegg. My order from them which I placed around 3pm yesterday is already out for delivery, that's with their standard shipping option. Meanwhile ClubIT's stuff will be here next Thursday.
