still t0o high..for stable clocks.

water or air doesn't remove the heat inside the ihs...

blck scaling: pcie, temp, and vtt..these three affects blcks above 220....

Thanks, i will try and PM him about a template.i can boot at 237 on this chip with the rex3 with slowmode but it kills any 3d benches or gaming.

board acts weird with 3 bloomfield chips, anything above 215 boot in slow motion, text on bios screen posts really slow and the windows load screen does the same. cpuz takes 1 minute to open and also is like slomotion to open. very unstable.

On my ud7 the chip has been running between 4500mhz ht enabled and 4700mhz ht disabled for months, both oc's pass long blend runs and linx along with many other benchmarks and hours of gaming. temps never exceed 70c in linx.

that was max stable right? anything above those...are not stable? if so...


...its like reaching the top...once reaching the top its usually downhill from there...

if you pop that cpu into the gb mobo....i wonder how it would do... the higher the clocks tha faster the degradation usually...

4760ish was max stable no ht, 4620 was max stable with ht enabled but with heavy ac on the rad, but ran it at 4500. wanted to run some 3d at higher mhz for a game, BC2 to try and get my fps up. my 5870's are not working well in bf2 so i am using gtx260's and with smoke/fog and snow in certain spots my fps take a big hit. im sure the chips at its limit, had hoped to be able to get a little higher on this board, but maybe it is better geared towards gulftown.
I have put the chip back in the ud7 to make sure it wasnt the chip going bad but it runs like a champ at the same settings. was even able to lower vcore a couple notches with some tweaking. i just installed the 960, so bclk wont ba an issue but this chip just didnt clock as well as the 920. maybe i am asking to much of these chips but worth a shot.

Thanks for the reply.

Im interested in the 2d booster beta

I saw that over there. Then I thought about you trying it out ;)

hahaha will do, will hit the GF with a tranq dart when I get home so I Get some time to bench. Prepped and ready to go, mounted the f1 on my lunchie
