Finally prime and memtest stable

[rpv]

:beer:Ran prime for more than 15 hrs yesterday....0 errors...My specs

CPU: 255X10 on air
Memory: 2.5-3-3-0 1T 1:1
Vcore: 1.61
Vdimm: 2.7
Temps: 35 when idle and 47-48 when running prime...

Should I try to OC further.......Should I be worried about taking the vcore or the vdimm up when I try pushing it further as my temps when running prime are in the upper 40s......Thanx in advance...

Those temps are great. The VDimm should be set to 2.85v or whatever is the max for your board. They are spec'd to run that high and they have a lifetime warranty. Not really sure about the max vcore for that chip but I usually try to max out my chips with their stock vcore.

On the lanparty I could take the vdimm to 3.3v without a mod..I am not sure if the memory would tolerate it though without adequate cooling...On the chip I think the recomended max is 1.7v..I am not sure.....

 

[AristoV300]

3.3 is high. I would say 2.9~3.0 would be fine. 1.7V seems to be fine from what I have read now for that chip. If you can keep those temps it shouldn't be a problem.

great overclock

Nice temps btw. Maybe i should get an xp-90 because its getting pretty toasty with the stock hsf.

I would raise the vcore to 1.65 and see how far that chip can really go I would only worry about temps if its above 60C

Newcastle CPU's rock

I have an NC 3200, and I was able to run at just shy of 2500Mhz, but I toned it back down because I am pretty well video limited.

Very happy with the XP-90.Was a breeze to get onto the board..Wanted to get the XP-120 but was not sure if it would fit the board..BW86 if u find that it XP-120 is compatible with your board then consider getting it as I hear it is better than XP-90.....albiet about 20$ costlier

The XP-90 is a great HS. Keeps my Prescott cool. BTW rpv, nice case, I have the same one. Just front door on it sucks, other than that awesome build.

Thanks...I like the case too...will replace the fans though specially the front one...slightly loud for me....
