sorry a liitle bit out of topic.
I bought HD5870 vapor x which is ATI.
ATI is for Crossfire
Nvidia for SLI.
Is it right to say that i wiil be stuck with single card since i am unable to to run ATI crossfire on SLI motherboard.
Regards.

Awaiting for my new cooler and i will try to maintain 4GHz.

Getting to 4ghz is a breeze.

Check out the xtreme systems forum for their P55 and X58 mobos.

[ColinYip]

4.5ghza bit extreme.

Stocks just been topped up. Happy hooting

 

[ionicle88]

not impossible to do 4.5GHz but without water cooling please don't try it.

What? No Prime? 1.482V......... can you say ouch?

What? No Prime? 1.482V......... can you say ouch?

well. merely followed Jacoob's settings... didn't bother to try out mine though...

last time only used 1.38V for 4.4GHz anyways...

 

[ionicle88]

Updated some of the pictures in the first few posts with the features from the S744 bios...

its minor but do check it out.

Just bought and applied Noctua NT-H1 thermal paste.. doesnt seems to help with the temp..

any advise..? thanks in advance..

 

[ionicle88]

drop your vcore to 1.28750, while keeping the rest intact.. and did you change the temp limit in OCCT before starting the test????

Erm, did you tighten your venomous X?

your idle temps are a bit high for stock honestly.. and i have a feeling it is due to your sitting of your cooler...

 

[chewbm]

i was feeling the same thing too, but i have tried to resit the HS thrice, i also tried varying the tightness of the pressure knob, all the same temp... d*mn pek chek..

as for the voltage, i cant seem to go below 1.35V, else BSOD upon reboot.. the OCCT temp i set it at 105degrees..
