Best way to OC the 630i

it's cool(hehehe)we might have some here at the house.

interestingly the guy at fry's said his roomate uses the 500 and he suggested putting it together and run it OUTSIDE the case for a coouple of hours to be safe.  everything else online, reviews, and instructions says 1,2,3 cool, cool, cool.  yer good to go.

 

what do you think?  better safe then sorry?  i guess alot will depend on how easy the rest of the tube install is when it's full of water!

 

also, any ideas on the whacked out fsb thing i got goin' on?

 

some pics of the 500 to follow, got set the camera and tripod up!   weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!   TOYZ!!!

well, i thought that too.  which means, i'm on a new mobo, just got my freshly rma'd and spd flashed ram, so that live the square little s;ukccer!

 

ring, ring, ring, hello dell tech support?  ummmmmmm,

wanna hear somethin' really, "$cary"?????

 

i'm puttin the new toy on the desk to open it and snap some pics for us.  i happen to glance down at the sys tray and look at the pretty temp lights and i see not one, but TWO 36*'s!  first time since i've plugged it in that i've seen one of those.  is the stock hsf and 90mm push mod fan gettin' b;ut hurt about gettin' nixed???

 

is the DeathStar, alive?     i have to laugh!

ummmmmmmm yea, ummmmmm, ummmmmmm,  dang it, NO i forgot.  will bottled arrowhead water work???

 

shoot!

I'd rather be safe then sorry, and go with actual distilled water.  I actually meant to respond with that and remind you when you had first posted you might stop by Frys - sorry I forgot...

Sorry m$ - you've already tried everything I could think of.  Maybe your mobo, CPU or RAM have gone bad somehow?  I've got nothing here...

OK,  To; the following, xps420oc, rambler, skimmy & ruski.

 

here's what i did and i tried to do all your suggs individually and cover all suggs.

 

i did:

 

volts increased to what 420oc stated;

multiplier x10 & x11

c1ef enabled & disabled

mem v 2.2

 

at the following bus speeds;

 

1340

1360

1400

1420

AND 1334.

 

all of these either wouldn't boot, post or make it to log in before either a bsod lock, a bsod with auto restart, boot and no post, or any combo of the above you feel you can put together, i saw them ALL.

 

also the current stable oc worked with the increase V's at both x10 & x11.

 

is there some place that says, hey unlock the fsb so you can use it goin' up???  i mean xxx1 up on the fsb should be nothing!  i can't run anything not even x10 with it at 1334  

 

BUT

 

change it back to 1333 and i'm bullet proof!

 

i'm am totally bewildered and stiemeed:(  is that a word.

i need some happiness right now, sooooooooo, time for a bud light and to at least open the Nautilus 500, while i'm waitin' for any replies:)

 

thanx again, alot, guys for the thought and help in helpin' the blind,frustrated,learnin' more about comps everyday,sometimes irritable,sometimes mouthy, NOOBIE, with the DeathStar!!!!

Sorry to hear...  At least you got yours locally, so not too much hassle of a return if you're close to the store.  Newegg should have mine to me on Monday hopefully.

 

Don't know what to say about the OC bit, but I had the problem and it cleared up.  Of course, I did get a mobo and CPU replacement.

OMG, now i'm reeeeeeeeeally bent out of shape.  i open the 500 box and i'm lookin' at it and it's scratched.  and it looks cracked in about 3 places, and the underside screws are loose.  this is USED!  :( it's got to go back and oh you should see the 2-4 big PITS/GOUGES in the water block flat surface!  it looks like someone used it for a jump rope weight, at the bottom of the U!

 

man, just my luck.  it was the only one in the store:(

 

no luck with the liquid,

and no luck with the earlier oc:(

 

not a good night, so far.

Its the board. The 650i is not that great at overclocking. besides that its a dell 650i board.

Google "overclock QX6850 650i" you'll see.

 

I think i might upgrade the motherboard before i hit the water cooling. I just need the 730 specs mother board specs and price. If its a decent price and the size is cool. I might pop it in the 630.

haha should have not held out on us. i was eyeing that Nautilus 500 myself. Take some pics of it ontop of the pc. And of the install. I read that it can also cool the cards chipset also.

ok,

 

went to

 

fsb1250 vAuto1.2

cpu x12 v1.4

chip vAuto1.3

 

got past dell splash

past MS Corp-------

login=bsod/locked up

hard rstx2

freeze at dell splash

sys reset default cpu x9

 

boot&post!=no luck at 3.75 with upped stable 3.67 voltages.

 

 

goin' to fsb 1200 all the rest the same, if it crashes i'll up the vlts.    

 

question, which and how much?  cpu fsb  chip   ,,,,,,what?

any suggs?

hehehehehe, skimmy you caught me!  did you see my earlier post?  dang thing is used.  when i do get one though, i'll do the entire pic thing for ya!

i'm glad for u bro, seriously.  nothin' like achieving and the feeling when you do.

wanna hear somethin else funny?  i put my oc to

 

cpu Mx11 v1.4

mem1033 v2.15

chip vAuto(1.25/.30ithink)

AND

fsb at 1250 vAuto(1.3ithink)

 

occt crashed cpu to hot =68*

p95 stable for 15mins and counting.  temps-60,60,57,57

 

crazeeeeeeeeeeeeeee:  i can move the fsb down with ok temps and volts and get 3.439ghz all day!

 

i'm seriously lost.

gonna go down more on the fsb and kick the Mx to x12 and see what happens with stock volts, then move volts up if it fails.

 

what do you think?

 

EDIT:RESULTS;

 

 

bluddeeee, now ya tell me!  :(

 

i'm stable at 3.6 with p95 right now with the fsb cranked down to1200, time to step it a weee bit and see!
