Another nice SL6S2.. Thor86, What kind of temps are you getting with the MCX4000? I removed my Prometeia again until I finish modding a case. I ordered the MCX4000 yesterday to have something better than a retail 3.06 HSF to use on my 2.53.

 

[Mikki]

Looks good Thor86..how high does it go with relaxed timings?

 

[Thor86]

Thanks .

I get about 42 idle and 57 full load with the MCX4000 using a 35cfm 80mm Sunon fan.

Looks like 178 is about all it's going to give me. Happy with 3.3ghz with 2-2-2-6-2 ram timings!

Thanks!

Prime95 fails at 179fsb even with default spd ram timings at max vcore at 1.625 for me.

 

[Mikki]

Just wondering if maxing them out (to 2.5-3-3-7 or whatever) would give you more... You're right tho, 178fsb with 2-2-2-6-2? Hell yeah!!

I ordered a swifty mcx4000 with tmd fan this morning. I hope it works well.... THor your temps look a little high... did you use ASIII? We will have to see how it compares to the sl6s2 I am sending you...

Using AS2, but I think the silver and carrier fluid is seperating inside the tube. Ah crap. Temps seem little higher relative to my 2.4, but I always thought the 2.53s ran higher temps, especially at over 3.3ghz. Yeah, looking forward to testing the second SL6S2 from ya!

 

[jpetermann]

My 2.53 runs at 35 idle, 50 load with my Alpha... How about you other guys out there...?

What is the cfm rating of your fan? Mine's only 35. Anything higher sounds too loud for me.

 

[jpetermann]

Here is the fan I have: YS TEch Adjustable

about 40 dba at max, which is where I use it. I really can't hear it to much though...

PJ

 

[Technonut]

I ordered the 80mm TT Smart Fan 2 with the MCX4000. I needed a high-end P4 HS to add to my collection anyway. The Smart Fan ranges from 20.55 CFM @ 17dB to 75.7 CFM @ 48dB. It should do the trick until I am ready to throw the Prometeia back on...

Thor86 getting another SL6S2? You have all the bases covered...

 

[Thor86]

Thanks guys, I will look into those fans.

I must be doing something wrong.
I have a SLK-900U with panaflo 92mm 57cfm 35dba and
it runs 42C idle, 53C load, 22C mobo with 20C ambiant @ 1.664v actual, 185fsb
When I had the Alpha 8942 with 50cfm sunon they were higher.

 

[jpetermann]

some just run hotter... that is all... I keep my house fairly cool also.

Maybe so but I have had three of these and they all
run those same temps +/- 1C.

It is just driving me crazy that I can't get under 40C idle. :disgust:

 

[THUGSROOK]

im idling @ 42*C
room temp is 27*C

ive never seen a temp lower then 40*C on this board ~ even when using a p4m @ 1200mhz

 

[jpetermann]

here is a screeny of my rig at 38*c...

Cute...real cute!

[dbwillis]

Nice results PJ..did you ever try removing that rubber gasket thingy on the NB?

 

[jpetermann]

not yet... I will likely be selling the board next week, so I decided not to mess with it at the moment... but who knows... I may get bored this weekend... hehe

[Duvie]

NIce Thor...I am glad to see you get what you wanted...

Anyone else notice this 178fsb seems to be where a lot of the chips seem to be ending on this board??? I know pastorjay does!!! I even think thugs stopped at 178 as well....Hmmm coincidence????
