Xeon X3350 ^_^ Day 3

3 Apr

Here goes, Day 3 of my journey to overclock my Xeon x3350. At this I really hate my RAM -_-. Little piece of crap can’t overclock for shit. I tried couple settings as the following:

450 x 8 @ 1.18vcore, 6-5-5-15 timingsÂ @1.9v -> I got it POSTed but stucked afterward
445 x 8 @ 1.18vcore, 6-5-5-15 timingsÂ @1.9v -> Same thing, t POSTed but stucked.
425 x8 @ 1.18vcore, 5-5-5-15 timings @ 1.9v -> no POST
420 x8 @ 1.18vcore, 5-5-5-15 timings @ 1.9v -> no POST
405 x8 @ 1.18vcore, 5-5-5-15 timings @ 1.9v -> it POSTed and booted to windows…. yay ? -_-;;

So far so good, I can validate CPU-z http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=339860 and running folding @ home SMP Client now for stress testing. I think I am going 5 MHz at a time for the FSB. Temperature wise, it increases by 1 to 2 degrees. Pretty decent I think ^^.

Â I am going to let it run overnight and if there is no crash, I consider it stable then I can move on to 410 MHz FSB.

So, your one of those people who keeps the comp on all night or never turn it off. I do turn of the comp everynight. Reason is I don’t like letting my comp run overnight and I get yelled at from my Grand parents. Anyways, your lucky, your allowed to keep your comp on all day…..and night…

Yep, I am one of those people lol. I live in a basement of a house with 2 roommates and our utilities are included in the rent so I kinda taking advantage of it ^^;;. Don’t tell my landlord though lol and I haven’t heard him complaining about utilities bill so I am good so far.

Btw, did you turn off your light for one hour during earth hour last week ?
