680i; who is telling the truth?
Great success! At least according to 'nVidia Control Panel' (ver
1.4.100.40 - 'View System Information' for my E4300 / EVGA 680i system. The report: Reference clock (FSB): 613.181 MHz FSB Frequency: 2452.723 (QDR) MHz CPU multiplier: 6.0 x CPU core frequency: 3679.084 MHz Memory bus frequency: 2452: 2452.723 (DDR2) MHz PCI-E bus: 2500.000 MHz PCI bus: 33.00 MHz Honest to god! That's what it reports. Oops! Now it reports: Reference clock (FSB) 450.103 MHz FSB frequency: 1800.412 (QDR) MHz CPU core frequency: 2700.618 MHz Memory bus frequency: 1800.412 (DDR2) MHz PCI-E bus: 2500.000 MHJz PCI bus: 33.00 MHz Oops! 'Adjust Motherboard Settings' reports: Reference clock (FSB): 300 MHz FSB Frequency: 1200 (QDR) MHz CPU core frequency: 1800 MHz Memory bus frequency: 1200 (DDR2) MHz PCI-E: 2500 MHz CPU-Z ver 1.40 reports: Core Speed: 1799.9 MHz Bus Speed: 300.0 MHz Rated FSB: 1200.0 MHz And SiSoft Sandra Lite ver 2007.4.11.22reports: CPU core speed: 2.7 GHz BUT the benchmarks are similar to those with the CPU core speed at 1.8 GHz. Dynamic BIOS Access shows an FSB of 1800 MHz and a multiplier of 6 x. nMonitor reports: CPU Co 1800.000 MHz FSB: 1200 (QDR) MHz And finally (if I can trust the BIOS setting pages), the values in the BIOS for this farrago are CPU Multiplier: 9 X FSB: 1800 MHz. I am going to just stick with an FSB of 1200 MHz, a multiplier of 9 X, a Memory Bus of 1200 MHz (1:2), and a CPU core voltage of 1.250 v until SOMEBODY comes out with a reliable method of finding out what the overclocking parameters really are. Until then I am going to work on a water cooling system. Phili Weldon |

Until then I am going to work on a water cooling system. Phili Weldon I have had nothing but problems with NTune myself. Between incorrect readings, lockups and just a lot of other issues I think I will remove it and just use some other program to monitor and do everything in bios. The only thing I KNOW it is reporting correctly are my memory timings. I had a stable OC at 3.0ghz but now after installing the newest version of NV Control Panel I can't get past about 2.8ghz without issues. Another issue I am having with the i680 board is that I have a "Safely Remove Hardware" icon in my systray for all four HDDs. Not a big thing, but I just wonder why it is there. I am also going to have to remove my water block and clean and reapply thermal compound. I had great temps for a few days but now I am seeing idle temps up in the 40s. I used some Artic Silver that I had sitting around but the block came with some white stuff......I think it is Artic Ceramique or something like that. I may have overdone the original application just a bit anyway. Load temps are getting into the mid 50s so I need to do something because that is a good 10-15c above what I had originally. Just for grins I ran 3D Mark 06 (free version) and got a score of just under 14000 which ranked about 35th for C2Ds (including some QXxx chips) which kind of surprized me since I was only running about a 2.8ghz overclock. Must be those two 8800 GTXs.......:-). Ed |

Ed I have the EVGA 680i SLI board in a new build (mouse and keyboard freeze at least once a day) and noticed that "safely remove hardware" icon in the systray too. I was wondering where I picked up that useless thing. It only lists my hard drive. OK .... remove hard drive while it's running ... yeah ...... I'm sure I want to do that. |
