Opty 170 Temps?

[The Boy Wonder]

Hi, i have looked around for this on the board.. but not had much luck. What i'd like to know is this.

I have my Toledo core Opty 170 running well at 270x10 (prime stable), with 1.500vcore with load cpu temps of 38deg and PWMIC temps of around 40deg.

To get it to benchmark at 2.8gig, i need to put 1.7v into the cpu... which sends the load cpu temps upto 48degs and the PWMIC temps to 53degs...

Is this safe ?

Would'nt chance 1.7v in the long run being safe regardless of how well cooled it is tbh.

temps seems alright but i would only go up to 1.65v. are your temps the same for both cores? my core 1 is around 7C higher than core 0.

1.7Vs is more than I'd be willing to give an Opty 170 for anything other than benching, even watercooled.

1.7v WAY to high mate its gonna go bang

1.6v tops on water
1.57v on GOOD air (i.e. Tuniq tower only)

I wouldn't have any problems with that as long as you're keeping the temps under control.

While more voltage = higher temperature, there comes a point where no matter how well cooled, going past a certain vcore would potentially speed up certain effects such as electromigration etc.. substantially.

Hmm those temps lOOk really good!!!

I'm putting a system together for a client now, just started clocking it last night, now at 2.4GHz but my temps are waaaay higher than yours!

One micro nudge up from 1.35vCore

Case side is still off too lol!

[edit] ignore the disk temps they are out the case sitting on a piece of mdf, they will have active cooling when I assemble the system proper.

Cheers for the advice guys.. I had my old 144 running at 3.1 for 9 months with 1.85vcore folding 24/7, she never mised a beat. Anyways, with the 170, i can get it upto 2.6 on std voltage with very chilly temps, but 2.7 needed 1.5 to become stable. Aything after that needs mega volts and creates supernova amounts of heat.

After running the 144 at 3.1 for so long, my 170's a bit of a letdown, apart from video encoding.. But my old mans new c2d e6600 blows mine clean out the water running stock! Im a bit of an AMD fanboy, but i dunno how much longer i can resist the beastly core 2..

Most dual cored cpus tend not to clock so high as their single cored brethren, due to more things like cache, extra cores, more heat etc..
