since haven the UD3P i havent been able to use everest. it wont recognize the board. keeps saying something like unknown board something like that. ive heard there is a newer version so i might need to get it. i dont leave everest running for more than a few minutes anyway. long enough to view temps volts and such then shut it down.. kinda boring haven the system built and the way i want it. no tinkering to do any more. other than trying to bump a couple mhz out of a OC, not worth all the time and hassle. guess its time to get into gaming now???? lol i do have a couple old ODD's laying around i think im gonna take the face plates off and experiment with painting them and then paint the ones in my 922 to match the rest of the paint job.

First encode with Ripbot264 was a complete success. 6hrs and 13min to complete a 101min clip(I am Legend). Awesome movie LOL! Such a shame it can't utilize the GPU. The GPU would probably make much quicker work of it :D
There are probably better ways to do this. But I treated Ripbot more like an entry level BD encoder. VERY simple to use. Probably not for the complete laymen, but it is relatively simple anyhow.
It may for instance have the ability to simply convert to MKV without compression, in which case a quicker encoder can be used. Don't know. But I definitely have a working encoder, and another way of testing stability. Once again, the 940 is stable at 1.4v 3.5Ghz. And that's probably all I'll get from her, without more cooling, and possibly removing 2 sticks of ram. She sure isn't using 8gb anymore. I might just sell the other 4Gb. Not sure about that yet. The poor thing was pushing 55C+. I might just consider putting an intake fan(80mm) adjacent to the cpu cooler, and modding the top of the case, for a top exhaust fan. Seems like a good idea to me :) If I'm not mistaken, it will take slightly larger than a 120mm.
Looks like the video suffered ever so slightly. Others would probably argue this, but I am HIGHLY critical about video quality. It appeared to me, that dark scenery was sacrificed. I might just consider going for Super high quality 720, rather than compressed 1080. Seems logical.
I had both PC's running when I went to work. One was encoding, one was idling. WOW is it warm in here LOL! It was liking walking through a heat barrier! No joke LOL!

I'm strongly considering this one for my Top exhaust
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835233036
Quiet, large, and moves substantial amount of air. This will probably quiet down that stock Cpu 4,000Rpm fan LOL! I certainly hope so. Sucker is somewhat noisy. Which is O-K really. I sleep like a rock, even with 2 computers running next to me :p In fact, in some ways it's comforting. Yes, I'm a freak LOL! Unfortunately, My case is roughly 175-178mm Wide. So a 180mm fan is out. I'm sure the 140 will do well. I'll be looking into an intake as well. Probably open to sizes there. Though I don't wanna go TOO large LOL! It would cut into my PCI intake fan. Since I'll be modding anyway, I'm open to any fan you wonderful people can recommend for a CPU intake fan. I'd like to see If I can simply use the Stock 965 fan as is, with better intake. I guarantee a lot of its heat, is due to insufficient cooling. It's a VERY tight case LOL! At least for an ATX board. And a semi hot Processor.

(bigwill68)I believe I'm running the newest everest too. So it's unfortunate.
5.30.1900 Even with this version, it doesn't recognize the board.
Will,
I somehow missed this. You are correct, your CPU and Motherboard temps are reversed, the way mine was with Everest 4.60. With Everest 5.30, all my temps are correct as are my voltages. First time I've ever seen that on any computer. Apparently 5.30 recognizes the MA790X-UD4P's Chipset properly, but doesn't see your Intel EP-45 correctly.
Don't feel bad, this is the first version of Everest I've ever had that actually gives me all the information correctly, so it's worked perfect with 1 out of 8 possible motherboards, going from my Dell 3000 to present day!

Wow. That's a pretty warm idle. I've never seen my processors hit that at idle. Not even my 1.4 Thunderbird. And that sucker ran warm. I think the warmest Idle I saw on it was 51C. I believe that was summer.
I have noticed that Intels generally run pretty warm. Much like GPU's run extremely warm. Maybe that's simply the way they're designed.

Windows 7 never ceases to amaze me. Whatever the problem was, it seemed to correct itself completely. Each computer has access to the other. Everything I could hope for. If I want the other computer to have access, all I have to do is share with homegroup. Couldn't be easier :D Which means the secondary can access BD files that are on the primary.
All that remains...Gotta get the cooling figured out. I may even have materials on hand :D

Omega: So it's warm with two CPUs that use 150W or so, you can imagine what it's like with four GPUs that use 125W each, in addition to a 150W CPU right? It was absolutely sweltering in here playing Left 4 Dead 2 the other night, and that was a not a warm day outside...
Highest idle temp I had was with my XP 3000+ Barton, which idled between 61 and 66ºC.
I wouldn't say Intels run particularly warm. They run warmer with the stock cooler as the stock coolers provided are much weaker than those provided for AMDs. However, since most Intel CPUs are only 95W TDP or less, it's not so much an issue. AMD have a lot of 125W+ TDP CPUs to take care of. Even when overvolted to 1.375V and clocked to 4.1Ghz, if I keep my case fans on low-medium speed instead of off, my CPU idle temp is only 30ºC, I wouldn't really call that 'running warm'...

Touche. LOL! 30C is very good. What's weird though, is my CPU REALLY wants to run at 40C. I don't understand it. I uninstalled Easytune, Speedfan has zero effect on controlling fan speeds, and the bios says nothing about controlling/holding 40C. The CPU itself must be possessed LOL!

You're sure you're looking at the right temperature? If it's unchanging you might be looking at a board temperature instead.

LOL! I have the right temperature. I was unsure at first, but now I'm 99.9% sure :p The temperature when running stress tests increases about the right rate, and decreases the slowest. E.g. the core temperature rise rapidly, where the dye/Cpu temp rises slowly, and decreases slowly. Pretty sure...

If you run a proper test, the CPU die temperature should raise instantly and then very slowly rise during the test.
Here's how a typical stress test looks:

ok. I think I goofed. Dye is the same thing as core. Right? If so, then Yes, the Core/Dye increases rapidly, where as the CPU as a whole, does not increase very quickly. I was once told to not worry about the core temperatures. Only the CPU temperature. If the heatsink and fan are doing their job, it should be reflected in the temperature differences between the core/s and Cpu whole. Sorry. When I said Dye, I was thinking CPU heatsink. Where the Model number and such are :)

I thought you bought some of the AeroCool Streamliners for your case? I think the NZXT, AeroCool, or the XIGMATEK will work just fine... You want to move some air and do it "sorta" quietly. ;)

Wondering about your case I'd consider a new one... ROFL... look at this linky It's NOT a bad case for the money and with free shipping.. there are many others available, even from that company but for the price and FREE shipping I"m not sure it can be beat. :)

GM, your LINKY requires revision LOL!
Nah, if I can salvage my current case, I'm all for it. It's not a bad case really, it just needs a little modding. Heck, the hole in the top is probably gonna help a lot! Since that PC won't be doing any gaming, I'm not concerned with heat coming from the GPU, through the CPU ;)
Yes, I did just buy some scythe slipstreams. But they're 120mm. I would prefer that it were a 140 or larger on the top of that case. Larger the better. Though I can't go larger than 170mm. I realize bigger isn't always better, but perhaps in THIS case it is. That case does get pretty warm. I think the larger the hole, the better ;) An aesthetically pleasing fan will definitely be in order though ;)

No, die is the temperature of the CPU area as a whole. Core is the temperatire of each core within the CPU.

Ok. Somewhere in there I got confused. I've believed that for some time now.
The CPU Die does noticeably increase fast. I wouldn't say rapidly, as the cores do. But yes, the Temperature that I believe to be the CPU/Die does increase fast, and then when I stop the test, decreases fairly slowly. Depending on the cooling. and the Cores decrease pretty rapidly. Pretty common for me to see cores rise beyond 60C pretty quickly, where the CPU slowly climbs to 50-55C.

Definitely gonna need to upgrade the 100Mbps Netgear switch. Which translates to an effective 11MB/sec transfer speed. Which is a joke. In my opinion anyway. Even my WD5000AAKB drive is 4+ times faster than that. I'm looking at replacing it with I believe the one sam has.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833122140
Don't worry sam. I haven't forgotten about the needing to reset the switch, if I'm connecting new devices. Otherwise I only see 100Mbps connection speed :) thanks again by the way ;)

Russ everything is correctly seen on my board Rob is having the issue not me with his UD3P and his got the Lastest bios also when.
http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/Mothe...uctID=3137&ver=
I got my board it came with theFB bios when Robo got his board later after me his came with FD bios, I flashed mine to his bios two weeks ago or later with my same setting in Overclocking at 3935ghz and my Oc settings did'nt work with those bios it would'nt even boot the 3 restart option then back to stock. I used F8 flashing with the bios on a flash drive, I don't flash within the OS, so...I flashed back to my original Bios of FB and my setting work fine
Me and Robo have the same Board UD3P 1.6v and the exacted same CPU Batch Number and all S-spec SLB8V FPO/Batch# L846B715, I believe those bios are holding him back from a good Oc and them Auto features can cause the auto to sky rocket your Volts any where it see's fit atlease in manual you can manager your volts where you want them to be. I Never did and Never will ever have my voltages in auto in Oc even if. I had memory rated between 2.0v - 2.1v overclocked or not it's gonna run at 2.1v regardless. I learned that strees test's fail when you don't have enough volts to secure the beating.lol true more voltage supply's heat but sometimes less voltages supply's failure you can't have both only 1...
I'll Holla later. Gotta get this AMD Build together:)
Happy Building
Ya'll
Ps. Robo you might wanna try a Back Flash to FB it would'en hurt:)
