She is working perfectly. the new processor with the arctic cooler 7 idles around 38-40C and with the Intel burn in tool, it just gets into the low 60s.
I had some memory stability problems with the cheap OCZ 1066 memory I bought. Fixed timings and throttled back to 800 MHz and it seems to...
Well, I RMAed the chip. It was consistently into the mid 70s and then it crashed once. After that the BIOS went into boot thrashing (don't know what to call it when it reboots repeatedly trying to find an acceptable speed) and finally settled at a multiplier of 6X. That is 2GHz. That sucks...
Yikes!! 100C. That is hot. I guess I don't really have a problem. With that said, I have had one crash while burning-in somewhere in the mid70s. I may try to cool it down a bit, but I guess I shouldn't worry so much.
thanks
From the Intel Datasheet.
On page 76 it identifies the 95 watt Q9550 and refers you to table 5-4 and Figure 5-3. When you get to table 5-4, it refers to 71.4 degrees C for TCase at 95 watts. I was mistaken; it was not Tjunction it was Tcase.
what temps are you seeing?
I know that 70 degrees C isn't outrageous for an overclocked system, but intel's data sheet says 71.4 degrees C is max operating TJunction temp, so I figured I should achieve that at stock speeds before I consider myself stabilized.
hadn't thought of undervolting. I may see if it runs stable at lower vcore. I haven't closed-up the case to test performance yet, so I don't know what case temps will be yet.
I too am not overly concerned with overclocking this processor. Limiting factors on a system like this are really...
I got an E0 stepping Yorkfield Q9550 from New Egg last week. Everything is assembled and running. Vista 64 installed.
Temps are high. Idle is upper 30s while the BIOS lowers the multiplier to 6X instead of the 8.5X that is run under load. Under a load of 4X Prime95, it shows temps...
I disconnected all my USB peripherals and tried another backup. It worked without error. If it gets through the backup process 3 times without error, I will start plugging in USB peripherals to see when it starts failing again.
This is crazy!
The file system is NTFS. I have tried it with and without the PCI USB card. I doubt it is the cable because it generally fails after 8-12 hours of working.
I have downloaded a program called USBInfo that is kind of cool. It helps debug all your enumerated USB devices. I have removed...
hmmm...this one is really buggering me up. I am kind of at the end of my rope. Maybe I need to dump my entire system and rebuild it from scratch to solve this problem.
I have been trying to backup my system with a Western Digital MyBook and various backup programs (WinZip, Genie Soft). For some reason, the process rarely completes successfully. I generally get a Delayed Write Failure when it is somewhere around half-way through. My backup is about 300 GB of...
Open Office Writer is just fine. It runs plenty fast, and I can't imagine it would be any worse than any of the MSWord versions. It handles any MS doc formats too. For general home use, I can't imagine that you need any more. I have been using it without incident for over a year. At work I...
