How is 40 minutes graft for 7 degrees well worth it when your chip was in no danger of overheating in the first place

Youre right it wasnt but when i push this chip to 3.2 it might 
To be honest i was a bit worried especially with tat even though i knew id never reach that temperature.
If the fiance switched the heating on id be pushing 60 deg in games, and yes she would in the middle of June(its a woman thing).

I don't know why my board and yours are different, but just for laughs i tried raising the FSB to over 300, and i'm currently typing this with a FSB of 305...I'm going to keep testing to see where I get to. CPU still runs cool, as well.Camalot said:I'm on pci-e mate ati x1800xt 256
Crashes at 2.7
Edit - Unfortunatally i keep getting crashes anything over 295fsb (2.62gigs)
Im going to stick at this untill i get a new fan then give it another bash
This cpu flies !

Whats your temps with TAT?
Just got my 2160.
1.38v @ 3ghz under an Ultra 120 Extreme with a 1000rpm sharkoon fitted.
Bit toasty @ 72c full 100 load in TAT.
Gonna try to reduce voltage bit by bit without losing stability... these babies do run a little hot don't they!

Needed something to tide me over, so I had an Overclockers B-Grade DS3, E2140 and OC own cheapie 2x1gb PC6400 kit turn up today!
Seems to hit a wall at 400, or maybe a hole because it won't boot at all but will start fine at 399. No amount of voltage (1.5v vcore) makes it boot, I've tried up to 430mhz hoping for a hole but no joy.
Currently 2hrs into Orthos a 3100mhz or FSB 388mhz, vcore set to 1.4v in bios but only actually reporting 1.328v in any Windows utility I try. I actually installed Vista at 2800mhz / FSB 350mhz and ran at default voltage which turns out is only 1.26v. Something doesn't read right....
I have the F12 bios installed.
Temps don't go over 60c full load with Orthos but TAT will bring it close to 70c. Not too worried about that. Using an AC Freezer 7 Pro and AS5 with that 'line down the middle of the core' technique.
Can't belive how fast it is, coming from a Pentium D 3Ghz this thing is lightning. Pretty happy but I wanted 3.2ghz for childish reasons

I just picked up an enermax noisetaker 600w from the b-grade section for £40 (BARGAIN!!!) and it has 2 fans, so now i've got a 120mm fan blowing in at the front, 2 80mm's at the back, and an 80mm side intake fan as well as the psu fans...at idle i'm at a 38-39, under load in TAT it seems that I max out at about 59-60, so i reckon i've got more headroom as long as the FSB will keep increasing.Garyj881 said:
Another thing; when doing Orthos blend test, my cpu never gets that hot....is that normal?

Munky1080 said:
Yes its normal, you proably wont go above them temps running any application or game.
TAT pushes the cpu beyond 100% in my eyes, but is good for finding your overall maximum temperature.
Someone might be able to explain better why they both state that the load of the cpu is at 100% but TAT raises the temps by atleast 8-10 deg.

Looking good mate, maybe its my ram im not sure.

Oh well, I tried 310Mhz and the computer froze at POST...looks like i'm stuck at 305Mhz, but i'm satisfied with that.Camalot said:Looking good mate, maybe its my ram im not sure.

Did you try with your ram at a lower divider?
Camalot said:Looking good mate, maybe its my ram im not sure.
This might sound strange but have you tried pushing your chip futher than 2.7ghz despite it failing to post at 2.7ghz.
The reason I say this is that my E4300 regardless of how much I fiddle refuses to post at 2.8ghz and freezes constantly at 2.6ghz yet is perfectly happy at many a long gaming session / benchmarking session at 3ghz.
Might be worth a try.
(this is on a Asus P5N-E SLI with Kingston DDR2 667 ram running unlinked)

No, i havent tried this, i can get it booted at 2.7 but it will crash when i do a stress test or something small like surf the web
I could try 2.71 or something.Ill let you know, id have to drop ram divider again if i want to go past 300fsb tho i think? Its ddr400.
I dont think its worth 100mhz cpu speed at the cost of dropping ram speed even more?
