Poll: Will I crash soon, if so when?

[garkman]

Just to follow up my-No Goup am i crazy? post-do u think i'll freeze soon, and if so, how long?

 

[PlunX]

If you crash, it's going to be due to overheating. What kind of temperatures are you getting? There's really no way of determining whether or not you'll crash by just knowing that you don't use any goop.

 

[garkman]

That's the prob...i have NO temp gauge...as u can tell i'm pretty confident w/my system right now. Just having a bit of fun with the whole no goup thing-some people really go nuts just cause i don't have goup. I have an 80mm fan in the front, good fan in the pwr supply w/vents on the bottom to vent out CPU heat, as well as a BIG almost-alpha sized HS w/2 nice big fans on it.

I think that if you decide that you want to continue without thermal compound, we should trade processors. Don't like seeing a nice CPU go through this kind of unwarranted abuse.

You should be experiencing some instability. So yes, I suppose you will freeze soon.

BTW, you on crack?

 

[Renob]

I think YOU crashed and your cpu I mean brain is undreclocked.

 

[garkman]

hehehe, i love it guys, everybody's so livid about no goup! it's been over 7 Hours now of FULL (99.8+) CPU load (SETI's a wonderful thing)...yet still no sign of lockups or anything! Hehehehe, i'm lovin it.
UPDATE:
**9 HOURS AND COUNTING**
Hehehe, athlons ROCK

 

[MaJik]

My P3600 wouldn't even post without thermal paste...........................

 

[Tetsuo316]

he's not on crack but some other drug i'm sure of it...

 

[WyattBurp]

Not until summer.

Or try raising your thermostat to 90F! Then you will crash!

I had an Slot A 750 Athlon on a FIC SD-11. Ran great at 900 mghtz. But of course I was smart enough to use thermal compound.

Athlon 850 @ 1028 1/3 L2 1.95 volts
Abit KA7
128 megs Mushkin Rev.2 PC-133 running cas2 at 144 mhtz.

I love u guys, sooo much fun 29 Hours with full load on the CPU & still not a hitch to be seen...I think i'll not use my bud's paste just to spite ppl...but this has all been in good spirits i know...i'll keep things posted tho!

**41 hours**
I don't think she'll crash....

 

[NOS440]

Well maybe you have a perfect CPU and Heatsink surface that is making good contact. The only reason for the goop is to help fill voids. I'm sure this is the case. What I'm not sure about is why no one has put you in the loony bin yet !!!!!!!!!

 

[koldklock]

Man, I'm gonna be cool like you and run my processor without goop too!

We can start the OWNG (Overclockers With No Goop) club and spread the No Goop mania!

Down with goop! Down with goop!
(say it with me now people!)

 

[garkman]

First off:
***50 HOURS***
Second...yeah, i did sand my Heatsink (like any intelligent person) also the CPU is from overclockers OCZ store & they pre-sand 'em nice & flat...so i'm not truly nutso...well, i am but not in this case.

 

[NOS440]

Thats what I figured and your still nuts.

 

[The_Lurker]

LOL! DOWN W/ GOUP! well, no, in my case, my cpu doesn't work w/o goop, i give it..... *looks at watch* o, 20 minutes w/o goup, lol!

 

[garkman]

*My Final Post*...i think
It's been many days at 100% CPU load 24 hours a day, and still not a single freeze...I think the goupless garkman has spoken.

 

[Losty]

what are you running?
when i had my cpu @1100 it didn't freeze running seti rc5 cpu burn-in
for like days...but when i tried 3dmark2000 it crashed once...and when i tried cpu stability test after 15-17 hours it crashed...kinda...i had left it ... but couldn't wake it...so i hit ctrl alt del 3 times...

now it's down to 1ghz

 

[Tetsuo316]

he's a moron and he's running seti. but not in that order. think about it. oh sh*t. we're getting "off topic" now aren't we? having fun on vacation troy?
