Did you manage to straighten out the pins and was it dead afterwards?

 

[Sparky]

4 or 5 of them snapped off completley.I did try it once i had sorted out the rest of the bent ones but it was dead

Jewellers can sometimes help but when you have such a good clocker its not worth swapping the old one back in. For air i wouldnt go above 1.45-1.475v for dual core. I couldnt hit 2.9ghz stable on my chip when back on air and i tried high volts. As soon as got the temps down and went onto water i am now running 24/7 at 3.1ghz at 1.536v. Tried to see if 3.2 within reach as most people were saying 1.65v would be safe for 24/7 use but even with those volts i could only achieve 3.15ghz so didnt think 50mhz was worth 0.15v increase. 26s 1mb time isnt bad though for 24/7 use.

Just finished prime testing on mine..

So far I've only got 2.5 out of it @ 1.375v.. max temp was around 51-53c
Not too sure how to push any higher.. I've tried 2.6 @ 1.45v (max was 56c) and it fails.. and 2.7 @ 1.5v (max was around 59c) and it fails..

Having heard that 1.45v is the absoloute max for these chips I'm slightly hesitant to go any further..

Anyways.. screenie...

Any tips?

 

[mercyless]

most should reach at least 2.6 and higher, whats your stepping?

This is chandler_90..

Stepping is CCBWE 0609 FPAW..
Anyone got any idea what the clocksare like with these?
Runnin a DFI SLI-D and 512 of Geil Ultra..

Temps are the problem there. Volts are fine though. 1.5 is max for air on x2. I couldnt get my x2 past 2.95ghz on good air. Over to good water and stable at 3.1ghz

I had 3 of these and 2.7-2.8 was the max on these on water.

yup, keep the load temps under 40c and you will find your max clock increase drastically! I cant keep mine stable above 3ghz if the temp goes above 40c. good cooling (non air), and the removal of the ihs will help drop the temps dramatically. I was going to rip the lid off my x2 but found a decent watercooling set-up can manage temps no problem. might be able to push the chip a little more when I finally decide to remove the ihs.

Gutted..

I'm happy with 2.5 though.. as I said I left it running dual prime for 13 hours and had no problems..

You guys recon 2.5 is safe enough then?
