another 2.8c @ 3.53ghz ~ but on def vcore!

[THUGSROOK]

yep, ive finally found a C chip that i like
(IE ~ works well with my ram)

not quite as good as yours tho :Q
what vcore you running for that speed? (3673mhz)

 

[THUGSROOK]

this prime95 stuff is soooooooooooo boring.

1 hour to go...........

Well?

 

[THUGSROOK]

3575mhz / 255fsb completed 5 hours of prime95 on 1.55v
256fsb failed after 3 hours

gonna try 1.6v tomorrow....

Bah, who didn't see this coming, Thugs gives into a processor.

 

[Zebo]

what kind of OS is that.

Vcore set in BIOS to 1.60v which reads 1.568-1.584v idle and 1.488-1.504v under load to get 3673Mhz. I was cooling with a SLK900U / Panaflo 92mm and getting 46-48C load. The SP94 with the same fan and AS5 dropped the temps readings to 42-44C under load. I can get up to 255fsb using 1.5375v in BIOS which reads 1.424-1.456v under load in WinXP using CPU_Z and Probe for voltage readings. The 255fsb setting is where I have been running lately since it drops my temps another 2C and can't really tell any difference with 100Mhz drop.

yep, i agree.
even alot of us "hardcore" OCers are backing down our OCs ~ cause that last 100mhz just really isnt worth the extra trouble in the overall scheme of things.

i myself plan on running this chip on default voltage @ 252fsb.

 

[THUGSROOK]

ok, my 1st try with 1.6v (cpuz)......

currently testing 3616mhz on 1.6v
temps are holding a max of 59*C.

its about 1 hour into it so far ~ ill LYK if it passes in about 4 more hours

 

[ProfessorFate]

That baby is definately a keeper.

 

[THUGSROOK]

yAWn......
2 more hours to go.




warning!
Discovery Channel spoiler

saltwater croc VS great white shark:
shark won, but was seriously injured. would survive tho.

:Q

 

[Soulkeeper]

hehe
looking good

 

[THUGSROOK]

BTW: i dont know what you guys consider hot, but i am sweating from the heat coming out of my case! :Q

my room temp has gone up 2*C from my puter.

LOL - Maybe we should use some ducking to vent all our PC's to the outside.

 

[THUGSROOK]

not a bad idea

i cant even imagine what this thing would pump out while gaming :Q
my lil ol 5900 is OCed to 500x980 and gets hotter then the cpu.

would make for a great coffee warmer tho
-place mug on blowhole fan grille, stays hot for hours

 

[Soulkeeper]

there was some guy that lived in canada or something
and he vented his comp to the outside
he said it helped his overclock quite a bit hehe
but of course it was snowing outside his house

 

[THUGSROOK]

3616mhz / 258fsb on 1.6v has passed 5 hours

gonna try for 260fsb next.....

I just bought a cheapo 8000btu window AC unit for my computer room... Works quite nice since I can set the temp independently of the rest of the house and my PC's temps don't fluctuate as much.

I wounder how much of an affect it would have if I ducted the cold air from the AC to the intake for the radiator?


BTW I know these get hot but every Athlon XP chip I had ran as hot if not hotter than this one.

Nice! Is that vcore actual under full load or bios setting?

:beer:

Hmm, I'm guessing it would help, but that means every time your 'puter is under full load, you'd need the a/c running.

Just be careful of condesation forming on your electronics.

bios setting of 1.625v~
shows as 1.6v idle in cpuz~
under full load it fluxes from 1.6v to 1.57v~

 

[THUGSROOK]

sorry guys, been too busy today to play with 260fsb.
it looks like it will go, but not sure yet if it will go 5 hours

(262fsb failed in 17 mins)

 

[DoobieOnline]

Another sweet read. Good luck Thugs!
