Will,
but doesn't see your Intel EP-45 correctly.

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:)

Will,
I only asked because your CPU and Motherboard temps appear to be reversed in your 21. February 2010 @ 17:44, post. There is no way with 3 cores@36C, and 1 core@39C, that you could ever have a 31C CPU temp. The difference is never that great. 2, maybe 3C is all I've ever seen. The giveaway is which temp goes up fastest, the CPU or the Motherboard, when it's under heavy load. Dollars to donuts, it will be the Motherboard. If the Motherboard does go up faster, it's actually the CPU Temp! The MB temps climb much slower!



Best Regards,
Russ

Wish I could try realtemp. Apparently it does not support Phenom 965...

in everest it shows the temps with the TJ Max all ready factored in, with realtemp and coretemp and such you have to manually set TJ Max to get the true temps. thats why there is a 5 degree difference
here is what my realtemp shows before the tj max is set to 105





105 is what the Q9550 is suppose to be. some say it is 100 but from intel it says 105.

here is my shot of everest temps



here is my mobo so to say in everest.unknown??

Looks like I may be averaging closer to 6.5 - 7hrs per encode LOL! Wicked! Quad cores just became slower :p

But, at least my secondary is running very cool. I installed the Scythe 1200Rpm fan, in the Kingwin 120mm's place. Or what I like to call, "the blow dryer" LOL! At 2,000rpms, it sounds like its doing closer to 4,000! No joke. So as you can imagine, my ears are getting a break from that noisy freak LOL!
This is the exact fan I bought from the local PC shop over 2 yrs ago
I'm not positive, but so far, the temps seem slightly better at the Scythes low Rpms, than the Kingwins High noisy Rpms. VERY impressed. Scythe just earned themselves a loyal fan ♥

I wonder how they figure the dBA rating is 30dBA. Cause I would bet it's worse! LOL!

By the way, it should probably be noted that my slow encodes, could be due to using a single drive configuration. And a slower one at that. The WD5000AAKB. Which is very good for an IDE drive, but there is just no substitute for Sata :D
So, on that note, I will probably use my 74Gb Raptor for a cache drive if you will ;) AT LEAST the output drive...

Oman7,
First, how do you run a 1200 rpm fan at 2000rpm? Second, a 30dBA fan is loud! LOL!! Aside from the variable speed fan in the Freezer 64, I don't have a fan in my computer that runs faster than 1200 rpm, and none that are louder than 26dBA. My 80mm Silverstone, in place of the cooling duct is capable of 36dBA, but I only run it at 1200 rpm, so it's very quiet. I couldn't be in the same room at 36dBA. LOL!!

Thanks gm. Correct. The kingwin was the Noisy "Blow Dryer" of a fan LOL! And it IS rated at 2,000 rpms. Though I would bet money it was running much faster. Don't ask me how, it just sounded completely unnatural!
The Scythe is a friggin godsend. I can barely hear it. And its performing AT LEAST as good as the kingwin. Whats funny is I spent more on the Kingwin 2 yrs ago. I'm sure I'll use it again, but not without a controller :p

Not a bad deal russ! Though i think I'd pay more for the WD1001FALS and have the 5yr warranty, since I have 3 of them, and all of them have proven that they're extremely reliable. My oldest still performs without hitch. Even at near full capacity, it continues to impress!

Yah...I suppose as a storage drive, its a pretty good price. It'd make a nice HTPC storage drive for MKV's :) I've now backed up 4 of them. Each one shows extremely minor differences to the original. In fact, I have to look pretty hard, to tell the difference. I prefer to keep them in the 1080 format. Because one day, I will have a projector. So resolution is pretty important ;) And from the looks of things, 8Gb is a very happy size for 2hr movies. Not sure what a 3hr movies would look like. I may make that my next task. I'm thinking 3 hrs, might do better with 720P and high bitrate. Cause I'm sure it'll upscale well ;)

A word of advice. Never purchase on newegg when you've been drinking. Its almost as bad as going into a grocery store, while you're hungry! ROFL! Although In my case, I only bought one item I hadn't originally planned on, and completely forgot to by a critical item. Well...a critical item to me :p I forgot to buy my new netgear 1,000Mbps switch! It would increase my transfer speeds greatly LOL! Oh well. I'll buy some more tonight :D At least I finally broke down and bought an Ergonomic keyboard. Not too fond of the white color, but it isn't that expensive, and I'm sure my wrists will like the style :D Plus its PS/2, so I can plug it into my KVM and have it ran to both PC's. Much easier than using 2 keyboards LOL! My current keyboard design (USB), doesn't work with a PS/2 --> USB converter. Probably going back to walmart... If I can find the receipt!

Hey! 2012 is only 2:38 min long ;)
