My only fear is next summer temps in the house will get higher and so my temp inside the case :P
I think i'll be 3.8Ghz during summer, 4.0Ghz the rest of the time if i see a problem with temp
But anyway, getting the clock lower is never a problem
After i think about it i realy think that what helped the most is the higher voltage on the uncore, never been that high on my "own", and never had much luck with 200 Blck overlock.
I can't even drop the voltage on the uncore now atm or the computer will freeze before windows lol.
Maybe the 1.88v CPU PLL voltage helped too, never played with that
You could get a better heatsink until next summer, like this
Nahh, the difference in temp between the Noctua and the Mega is not enough to justify the switch, even if it become very available (cuz at the moment in canada its unavailable)

Hey, i just noticed something weird, im sure its not related to any overclock, but since i already a thread with a lot of questions i'll add another one here lol
I just got Call of Juarez 1 on sale for 5$ and when i start the game, there's a weird noise coming from the casing, like a distortion noise or something... When i load a saved game, the noise because very less noticable, but when i hit escape to go to the menu, or in any video, its quite loud, enough to hear it from a meter away, does the video card could do such a noise ? Dunno if this noise mean something that could do harm, thats my main worry about it.
its definitely not a fan noise its more "electronical".
Any other game i've played don't produce that kind of sound.

here it is, i put the microphone on x30 boost to make it clearly hearable, directly at the beginning of the record im starting the game, and going into the menu, then closing it so you can compare with the 'normal' sound of my computer idle at the end.
Any idea ? Or put in another way, do you think this is a sound i should be worry about ? I don't think its harmful for the computer since nothing is frozing and i don't see any concequence of this sound on anything... but what do i know about weird sound :P
I have yet to reproduce that sound with anything else, another game, another application... Seems like there's something special with Call of juarez :P
I tried to turn down my 'little' (100mhz) video card clock overlock, doesnt change anything. I don't know what makes me thing its the video card, well yes i know its because its doing this out loud mostly only when video are playing in the game hah
FYI : The other games i've tried : Im playing NFS Undercover, Crysis and Champions online on high settings without any weird sound. The computer goes a bit louder but not with that electrical feeling.
EDIT : when i say feeling, i should say screaming :P
If its pretty harmless and only annoying, i play with an headset most of the time so for that game being that wont be a problem. It will if it begin to do it on regular basis, like on every game or worst on idle lol :P
Have fun trying to find what is going crazy with that game i'm pretty curious too :P

No, that's not capacitor whine. I don't know what it is.
So I have been playing with my OC for a few days now with my i7 920.. here is the cpu-z screen... I can;t seem to get the system to be super stable... it runs certain benchmarks just fine but others crash or lock the system up.
I have a CPU cooler on order for the system & hope to get some guidance on how to push this babdy further up the charts in OC'ing. Currently my top is 3.4Ghz stock cooling but it only runs 3DMark Vantage... locks up on everything else.

Temp goes MAX 75C at this voltage. 38C Idle.
Overclock : DONE
Thankx
Awesome stuff...
Thrax, I have never seen such guidance on another forum before.

So true, i can't see a topic on this forum that he cant have a good advice lol
Thraxipedia FTW !

Right, how about this then?
Its new ? Never seen this heatsink before

It's a better heatsink than mine, cant deny it

I'll try to record it with my headset microphone and post it here soon.
Thankx

Ouch... that quote doesnt sound too good :/

I only hope its only annoying and not damaging
It could be a capacitator on the video card, i realy dont know...
