3500 Winchester doing very well!

[Phil Stanbridge]

Hey guys, this winny is doing very well under water! 250FSB stable, (2.76ghz) at just 33 degrees. I know its capable of 3.1 under phase-change, so I wonder what its capable of under this water solution??

Currently 250 1:1 1.64v,

VX3200 @ 2,2,2,6 @ 3.5v

I would say prob 2.85-2.9GHz will be the limit

Slap a ram divider in there Phil, make sure the VX aint holding it back - Knowing the RAM as I do it's the first thing I would check - also apart from the usual 2-2-2-6 change all other DFI DRAM settings to auto.

Knowing that CPU as well as I do , I would say 2.85 is achievable.

If you are using a PC&P PSU drop the volts too (try 1.4 x 113% or 1.3x123%) - may help, it certainly did on my FX when I upgraded the PSU to that beauty.

For some reason the DFI performs better if you utilise the special voltage control as much as possible.

326 BIOS works best for me on the DFI NF4 board.

ok roger that. Will try a ram divider if this run of 3dmark crashes. I think I was pushing the card too far (490/1210) under this single rad. I'm not using the pcp&c, only an Akasa silent psu, (that does the job funnily enough) - I havent used any extra molex connectors on the motherboard either; thats something else I could try.
