so what changed with Corsair Nautilus this time round ????


3.8GHz benchable quad core is totally

inthedoghouse

F**k me running! - Good work! Can you crank out some 3dm06 or Cinebench scores at that setting?

eva2000

nothing changed other than moving the nautilus 500 unit a bit further away from the board - that straightened the tubing rather than having it curled up. Also room temps are down 2-4C as well.

3dmarks will be done later but playing with wprime right now The focus when i start with a new board, is how it's dividers and memory behave on the board first. Once i figure that out.. 3dmarks and other benchmarks will be done

Those first orthos photos you showed eva2000, are you using AS5 thermal paste?

eva2000

i only ever use AS5 for cpus and ceramique for GPUs

GMX

Would you recommend this board over the DFI 965 for a Conroe?

How is the BIOS?

P5K non deluxe is similar to this physically? Maybe flash Non deluxe with deluxe BIOS

dinos22

gmx it's not similar but performs really well & costs much less

eva2000

Yes Asus P5K Deluxe is definitely recommended. I haven't had any issues with it other that the initial PS/2 mouse being lacking heh.

I'm going to swap out my Q6600 and lap the cpu as it's IHS is pretty scratched up too.. hopefully get better temps

how it is right now



Swap in my X6800 L627A872 to test Corsair 10000C5D Dominators

nice clean IHS
