Thanks Kal and mini-female Kal
lol
Cecil. Interesting you mention playing with the voltages first. Running AMD for the last year or so, I forgot how much voltage plays a part in heat generation on Intel Chips. On the K10 architecture clock speed and CPUNB freq play the biggest roles on making the chip run hot. I actually fully accepted this to be fact when I was accidentally running 1.6 vcore at stock timings and temps were great lol
Got a shit lot to get done these next couple of days, i7 is staring at me with those lonely puppy dog eyes, oh thats the dog, nm...Hopefully will get another crack at it this weekend if not later today
I may have forgotten to re-disable C1E after a bios reset (updated bios) which is why I was having trouble at 4.2HT with spi32m.
I am not too worried about CPU clocks TBH, just want them high enough to not be an issue for some 3d benching. My 2D benches I will stick with AMD 'thar be boints in them thar chips'
