wish you luck PJ

 

[tstrike]

sweet oc
good luck!

 

[tbates757]

But I thought OCZ sucked Good job! Push it to the max

 

[jpetermann]

The new OCZ is good stuff. Not only that... their customer service has improved greatly! I had a couple of bad(or at least dud) sticks of 3500 ram and they replaced it with 3700! Great company these days. They deserve a second chance, I think.

[ErikaeanLogic]

it's about frickin' time!

way to go, want to see more!

 

[Megatomic]

These Intel overclocking threads are great reading. Too bad overclocking AMD systems is so stale.

 

[THUGSROOK]

whats wrong with 40*C?
not typical on that moboard?

 

[oldfart]

Yeah, 40C is fine.

185fsb:464ddr (2-2-2-5)

Wow. That is impressive! OCZ has come a long way. Like to see the tests Monday....stability included.

 

[Mikki]

Good luck PJ!! I'm watching this with keen interest!!

 

[human2k]

in the words of yoda...........may the force be with you........

Good luck. Working on putting together a system for my son. Using a ABIT IT7-MAX (orginal version) with Kingston PC3500 and 1.6A. Using Alpha 8942, the idle temp is 40 and full load at 48 with Vcore 1.575 and FSB 150 (running at 2.4G). I have reapplied AS-III twice and the temps are NOT budging. The same chip on a Aopen Ax4R+ was idling ar 32 and full load of 45. I am stumped.

Your temp seems fine. As long as you're stable. Different motherboards measure the temps differently so no two motherboard will give you the same results and can vary quite a bit sometimes. You have to compare your results with others using the same exact mobo.

Nice OC PJ! Makes me wanna upgrade to a 2.4b c1 chip.

Hehe, yah I know OCZ is good stuff I was just mocking the OCZ haters

 

[SinfulWeeper]

Best of luck.

I gotta kinda leave the purchase better hardware arena though. Not sure if you read this one.

 

[jpetermann]

Temp is not bad. But it is about 4*c higher than my old 2.4b. My cpu temp is usually about 10*c higher than the system temp in Winbond. This one is 14*c higher, and the temp rises real fast in Prime. I just want to reapply ASIII for my own clear mind.

PJ

 

[jpetermann]

Ok, there are some updated scores!

PJ

 

[THUGSROOK]

 

[Mikki]

nice scores PJ!! ....40c idle :Q

 

[jpetermann]

Mikki,

Is 40* a little hot for ya?


PJ

 

[DAPUNISHER]

That's a fine chip you have there PJ, now when are you selling it to me?

 

[jpetermann]

As soon as I get my 2.4 es chip.

PJ

 

[maxSe]

Whooa... nice work, PJ!! OCZ, huh... You're a brave man...

I think there's gotta be something wrong with these combo.... My chip is idling at 46C & goes all the way upto 56C under full load in Prime!! :Q:Q I'm thinking it might be the board, since it reports the system temp as ~48C when my chip is idling at 45~46C... I'm going to swap out AquariusII with Alpha, and see how that goes..

 

[jpetermann]

maxSe,

Please post your results when you switch to the Alpha. OCZ was a gamble, but I have also lost confidence in the new corsair stuff. OCZ customer service was awesome though. I had 3500ddr that have me some issues, so they shipped me their new 3700 stuff. Pretty nice so far. I think the board reads the chip temp a little high. Maybe not though. But I am comfortable with the 56*c at full load under prime for now. More benches tonight when I get home.

LOL... Prior to selling you that Alpha MAXSE, I just did the same comparison... the AquariusII, was significantly better for me. One change I did make was swapping out the stock AquariusII cpu block for the Koolance CPU-200g. This lowered my temps by about 5C, not to mention the mounting is much better than the AquariusII.
