Got the chip and payment today Bones. Thanks.

[Bones]

Set it up already and let's see some numbers!

[Bones]

Did you get things fixed NY?

Having some troubles myself since the Ultra D had condensation drip onto it (Again) and letting it dry out for now. Maybe it will come back one more, maybe not. I did though get some great WPrime runs off with the 146 while things were working.

Guess you can say I've gone a bit 939 crazy myself....

[ny_driver]

Condensation comes from being well into the sub-ambient What have you been up to? Sounds like it's time for some kneaded art eraser and paper towels.

3532MHz on the 4000+ so far with NO TIM. Maybe improve that today.

[Kal-EL]

lol, busted!

[Witchdoctor]

Man this briongs back memories, Make we want to grab a set up, been a while since I played in the AMD arena ....\

Wonder if Bulldozer will be a contender ....

NY, TIM+ Eraser = WIN

[Bones]

Yeah, I think he'll get the win.

NY, you should be able to take a few Golds with ease once it's setup properly.

[ny_driver]

Golds I doubt, but maybe a few more points with some LN2 are possible. Today the chip acts funny though......won't go up past 3.4ish. I think maybe my gpu swapping(ati to nvidia) without proper cleaning could have corrupted something. I cleaned and swapped back, but it acts the same.

I have little time to do anything more this weekend. I plan to reformat and try it again when I have time.

I saw that CPU-Z run you posted and dude - 1.8v's+ ?

I hope you didn't damage it somehow because it is possible to do even with better cooling used.
You can ask Mr. Scott about that one sometime.

Basing the following on my HVAC experience - I could be wrong or at least not spot on with the following but here it is:

You might be running into a "Thermal Latency" problem with it.

Not the chip's fault and remember whatever materials your pot, heatsink or whatever is made from will only remove so much heat/BTU's within a given timeframe based on cooling used and what you've posted, the chip still has it's lid on that could be the thermal bottleneck causing it.
With the materals of the block or pot and lid plus the TIM, it all adds up to your thermal efficiency.
Good cooling temps are great but core temps themselves could be getting too high if the heat isn't passing through all the materials fast enough = Heat buildup in the core itself. That's a big factor in your results, esp in the longer benchies such as 32M Super PI or 1024M WPrime since those runs make your CPU run for a much longer time than the short runs will, giving more time for heat to buildup.

I know the guys here have experience with extreme cooling so maybe they can weigh in on this.
