ok so here a couple more screenies one during one after just doing another set of tests. Do you think using 9.5 multi and lower fsb is better or worse than the other way round?

 

[Kirth Gersen]

Think you need to update your CPU-Z version

Thanks. Sorted - it now shows the revision no.

Currently priming at 4.2Ghz. Orthos Blend. 4 hours so far.

Don't like the temps. Currently 77C using 1.4 vcore, and c55C idle - too hot. If I complete the 8 hours, I'll think try to wind down the vcore a few notches and leave it that.

There is more headroom in this chip, for sure, but it may be too hot to handle .

Strange isn't it, mine is at 4.18Ghz and is currently priming (blend) at 48c using a OCZ Vendetta 2.

Thats at 440 fsb x 9.5 @ 1.304 core

That's very cool: I was @ 58C at 1.3 vcore, and my TT is no slouch. What's your FSB wall? Looks like you might be able to tease yours to 4.4 or more before it get's too hot.

Got there... but too hot!

Not sure yet best so far is 520 still trying out combinations thou.

I would try running running Prime again but with Realtemp 2.75, the program writer changed the Tjunction so you're temps could well be even higher than you think

Cheers mate,

I've just loaded it up and there is no difference in the temps reported from the 2.70 and the 2.78 beta.

My machine is now stable at 1.2875 vcore (reading 1.24 in CPU Z), but still idles at 50 (fans low), and hits 70C under load. Really on the edge of what I find acceptable. I'm thinking about pencil modding or something to get it back into the 40s.

What do people think about these temps?
