Picked up a 2500k to play with . Will go in one of my water setups just curious what you guys are seeing speed wise thanks.
Any tips on what voltage and settings are needed to hit 5ghz , Am thinking that on water anything less than 5ghz I would be disappointed .
Did they ever make this I can't seem to find much got a broken xeon workstation that needs a board . Would like to find something more flexible as this is used more like a nice desktop no need for like a 600 dollars intel motherboard.
I would hate for these cpu's to go to waste.
My Buddie has a older core 2 2.8 and these are his video card options.
He is going to upgrade but for right now he has a old 6800 and i have a 9400 sitting around I not in use anymore.
Am thinking the 9400 is a better bet because it has the more ram 512 vs 256.
But being starcraft 2 is dx...
Has anyone else had problems overclocking it I can not even get above stock with my ram at 1600 now if I put it down to 1333 I can go right to 3.8 stock voltage.
Just seems like the memory controller doesn't like it but I thought these newer 965 worked that out?
Can you run a 965 x4 with just one stick of ram.
It's not a big deal either way but I got a good deal on this cpu and a 790fx mobo . Going to upgrade my wife's gaming rig. Now I have a extra 4gb ddr3 stick I can take from one of my other systems for right now.
Am not sure it will work thought...
And it's badass haven had time to play with it much going to my boss .
Wanted to post this cause no one around me truly understands. :eek:
I wish it was going to my desk but oh well it's still fun being our hardware guy since I get to build and buy all this fun hardware.
Other spec asus...
What is to high for this card? It is water cooled but not full block wouldn't fit so my vram has been getting hot like 100c in long gaming periods am going to have to make some better cooling for them but what is to hot?
Now that I got your attention I just got 2 new 5850's in my work that my boss ordered because his 2 26 inch screen's where having problems drawing big excel sheets. lol
I tried to explain to him that probably wasn't a video issue but oh well.
Am now very sad looking at both these cards cause...
I have a chance to swap my e6300 for this e7600 I like that fact that it has a highest muilt so even at 400 front side it's like 4.6.
If it will go that high may be worth it over the e6300 I have which will do 4.3 plus 3mb vs 2mb win.
Has anyone here pushed one of these in the 4.5 plus...
Playing around at work threw in one of the newer e6300 in my water cooling rig. I got it at 10.5 at 410 which is 4.3 . I very happy with it but I have to have the v-core up at right under 1.48 to keep it stable.
Under prime the highest temp I saw was 56c I feel that's great for the v core...
Just picked up a 5770 to replace my old 4830 overclocked. Everything is running well very happy with it. Today I wanted to see how it overclocked . I saw many reviews where they got good overclocks.
This is where am confused I can get anything above stock always errors out glitch on the screen...
What would be faster me and my friend were talking about this.
Consider E8400 can usually get 4.0 easy. lets say the 9950 can get it 3.0.
If you put the same video card in both same memory. I mean maybe quad on threaded apps but am leaning to the clock speed winning out.
I got a E8400 that's is just sitting around . I need a motherboard for it going to use water cooling so heat won't be much of a issue.
The 8400 uses 9 multiplier . I was wanting to get over 4 preferably 4.5 so I need a board that can go past 1600 bus that's stable what have you guys used ?
