Does the NF4 SLI-DR EXPERT allow >1.50volts ?.
Wish I could do >1.50v as my chip runs quite cool.

well my epox goes up to 1.8v and in Custom PC they put a deadly 1.9v through an X2 on air! Using the crossfire DFI, and 1.82v using the SLi EXPERT. In short...yes

nice

I'd be very surprised if he could get that temp on a stock LS at theose votls and speeds, even at idle. Especially as it is dual core and will be putting out a lot of heat. I'd say probably in the late minus teens at idle and probably breaking into positive figures under full load.

-18 idle
+9 load
thats only at 1.6v and at low ambient temperatures.

hello
well seems strange cpu....on air only clocks to 2.8ghz then needed little volts
but 3.5-3.6 on vapo seems like its gonna work.....temps on idle -26c....under load -8c
but this weekend i wanna try get more volts 1.8-1.9v...even if CPU dies its not a problem its just fun testing
btw my main pc i use 24/7 is AMD X2-4400@3200with 1.75v

did you rob a bank by any chance?

m3csl2004 · 31 Jan 2006 at 17:07

i assume you can hit about dual 26sec pi 1mb times lol

nice to see amd putting good cores into dual core, even if there more expensive then a small country :eek:

does it still have th ihs on?

Mr Mister · 31 Jan 2006 at 17:11

when it dies ill give you £5 for it. That would make a kick ass bragging rights keyring.

m3csl2004 · 31 Jan 2006 at 17:14

i bet if it dies you could flog it on bay untested and still get a couple of hundered quid for it lol

jemz · 31 Jan 2006 at 17:28

i already have RMA for it for tue 6th.......so have few days to kill it
ill only keep it if it does 3.6ghz else i dont want it

Mr Mister · 31 Jan 2006 at 17:33

lol but if you scorch it with voltage there will be burn marks and therefore no rma

jemz · 31 Jan 2006 at 17:41

lol nar my FX55@3360 ran for last 12 months with 1.92v.....looks fine

Martynt74 · 31 Jan 2006 at 18:09

Ah great attitude mate, welcome to ocuk

Mr Mister · 31 Jan 2006 at 18:18

lol do you give custom pc overclocking tips?

m3csl2004 · 31 Jan 2006 at 18:54

haha

give it 4v see what it would really do, but make shure you use a good cooler, like the gibabyte g-power pro, as it may get a bit warm @custom pc

Well I just this minute installed my FX60 and ran a couple of benchies:

FX60 stock
1900XTX @stock
2gb ram

3D Mark 05 11777
3D Mark 06 5710

It's been an expensive two weeks!

even if its under a vapo??

hogfather · 31 Jan 2006 at 21:33

1.7v!

With enough volts anything is possible. A high end amd chip will break into positive temps when highly overclocked.

Is that a 130nm or 90nm chip?

jemz · 31 Jan 2006 at 21:58

after few tests i think FX60 is a poor OC chip..its gonna take 1.9v for stable use at 3.5ghz
but i removed cpu for some server use atm till friday
trying it in my 2nd vapo and DFI LanParty UT NF4 SLI-D mobo......hopefully it can do better there
130nm i think i bought it first week it was out
