if your saying about the above pic then no it's not 49c. u should be looking at tmpin0 or tmpin1 which in his case it's tmpin1 59c.

I thought that was NorthBridge?

no

tmpin0 = motherboard

tmpin1 = cpu

don't go by core temp as it's wrong on phemin II's.

All i am worried about is northbridge, and thats been taken care of with thermalright HR-05 IFX + 80mm strapped on it. Temps are good enough for the 4ghz stressed, my worry now is aftermarket cooler for 580, shaman or accelero xtreme plus II are the best ones i found so far

tbh 59c for cpu is very close to the max safety limit, even tho no games would stress it that much....

as for the NB theres no temp reading for that. why u worryed about the NB ? IF it overheats it'll just shutdown

Been playing with the voltages, 1.45 in the bios, 1.46v on load

Not bad temps but want to go down the custom WC loop at some point to get more

24/7 clock 4.1GHz 1.45V 2.8GHz Cpu-NB 1.35v

If I were to buy a X2/X3/X4 C3 stepping, assuming it unlocks to a quad, what kind of clock speed is achievable under stock volts (which is 1.4v?) or maybe up to say 1.45V?

It's going in a file server which also transcodes videos for PS3 streaming, the X2 250 @ 3ghz isn't quite up to the job and I can't change the multiplier!

Cheers

3.8-4.2GHZ I'd say as a target figure.
Though I'd be more inclined to say 4GHZ.

Alkalinepro5 · 5 Nov 2011 at 21:31

My PB on pretty much stock voltages, and only playing around with the multiplier and FSB ^_^

EDIT** Why wont my pic show?

That's idling pretty high... what stress testing?
I can't see that being stable. If it is, I want it

lol I never said it would be stable!

Just going for the max OC! ;p

I have a £20 case with zero air flow.... -_-

very toasty for idle...

Alkalinepro5 · 5 Nov 2011 at 21:45

Man up!

This baby has been running at 70+ underload for well over a year. This one can take the pain! ;D

Gashman · 5 Nov 2011 at 21:49

good friend of mine had a similar thing with his Cedar Mill processor, could probably have took a direct nuclear impact, 90+*C for prolonged periods for many years and it still works!

Alkalinepro5 · 5 Nov 2011 at 22:16

This new motherboard has helped also. It has some pretty sweet OC features!

Soon i should have new gpu cooler. Max temps i get 51c after 2hrs of prime 4140mhz. Its loud open case setup

Soon will get 80mm fans out and swap for 120s. Wo i will end up with 4x120mm fans open case setup.

Wish my 1090T could do 4.1Ghz at 1.4v!

PapaLazaru · 7 Nov 2011 at 17:50

I want to get my 965 to 4Ghz. It is verry happy at 3.75 @ 1.375 volts which I have achieved by just upping the CPU Bus/ Peg Freq to 220Mhz.

Should I upp the voltage to 1.4 and up the frequncy till it hits 4? C3 revision with a good cooler.

InfiniteNoise · 7 Nov 2011 at 17:54

You should be stable at 4Ghz at 1.4ish volts. give it a try.
