After, undervolted (1.328v cpuz, 1.375 volts actual):

Undervolting gives me higher frequency at the lower temperature I desire (<50C is my target). Hard gaming temp never exceeds 48C, simply outstanding. :thumbsup:
All indications point to this cpu hittng about 3.15 GHz (24/7), but I am not going to spend the money on better cooling. I am quite happy with where I sit right now.....

Hmmm...so undervolting in that situation actually allowed you to gain clock speed?
BTW, I have a shiny new Opteron 146 sitting in my system priming away at stock right now for a bit of a burn in. I can't get enough of these things. More details in a bit as I get them
Ugh. This thing is having problems priming at stock.
Yeah, instead of the usual rounding errors reported by Prime95 when a chip isn't stable, it's giving me the error "Illegal Sumout! Possible hardware failure!" and spams it a dozen or so times before Prime stops.
When I received my box, it didn't have any bubble wrap on it, and one side of the retail box was a little crushed. When I opened it up, the green foam tray that the HSF sits on and the CPU is enclosed in was split in half. The first half with the CPU in it was in tact, but the second half where the HSF sits was broken into multiple pieces and the HSF was just sort of jingling around in there. Do you guys think my chip was damaged during transit?
WTH, it did that strange error after 4 minutes, but now when I try priming again, it's not?
Here, look.

*Edit*
System rebooted itself 5 minutes after that.
Nothing better than receiving a defective CPU :roll:
