Having changed boards, I now have a Prime Stable Overclock that has some very nice numbers 3.700Ghz 264.3 Bus Speed 14x Multiplier 2.643Ghz Northbridge 4228Mhz HT Link 1056Mhz Ram 5-5-5-15-26 2T (unganged) 1.54v VCORE 1.65v HT 2.93v VDDA 1.62v VDDNB Under a Scythe Infinity (With 2x 1200rpm Fans) Hitting 70C (Core) Idling 50C Hoping to Get The Ram Running 1T Also Looking at setting up my own Dual Rad WC Loop
Nice work mate How long did it take you to get stable? Out of interest have you tried IntelBurnTest 64bit on maximum settings? Reason I ask is because im trying to get my other i7 920 rig 101% stable but am seeing silly 80c + temps at just 1.25v core @ just 3.8ghz It can easily do 4 hours+ on 64-bit version of Prime95 and on small ffts but after 10 mins on IntelBurnTest it fails, doh!
70C seems a real high temp for a 3.7ghz overlclock. I have my 955be at 3.616ghz and it never strays above 44c on the cores. I know 955's in general need less voltage but people with the same overclock on the AMD forums are no where near as high on temps as that.
Try LinX. It's a GUI instead of a command line tool, but for the same thing (Linpack). http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=201670
*secret*I Need a New Cooler *secret* Thing is the fans on my cooler are so low airflow that they barely cool it it didnt matter back when i had an Athlon 6000+ but now it makes a difference... Hoping as i said to sort out a WC loop at some point. I think the reason its that hot is because I was being overzealous with the voltages to get it prime stable. I tried lower and no it didnt help. Its taken me about 6 months betweeen motherboard RMA's and PSU problems. Thing is when the cooling isnt up to it Phenom II's dont like going fast and mine has been arguing past 3.6 Prime stable
