safe do you reckon? (X2)

[lawrywild]

I just managed to get my X2 stable at 2750 with 1.612v (bios). After priming and letting my case heat up aswell, the dual prime load temp is 50'C (sorta flicks around 48-50 but doesn't go above 50)

You guys reckon this is safe?

Glad I actually finally got to 2750 stable :rolleyes: and wanna keep it there :p:

PS: TCaseMax is 63'C

That's a bit more than I'd be comfortable with, but it's just that: Whatever you're comfortable with. What are the voltage requirements/load temps on 2.7GHz? Is it a big strain to get that last 50MHz? Is it worth it?

[vengance_01]

I say its a bit high. I would shoot for 1.55 or so max for 24/7 use. Thats fine for benching but as the above poster said, is 50MHZ really worth the extra voltage?

[tdiddy]

Yup, looks very good. And you're right that 50c mark is the tops for most of us, and looks like great temps for air and at that voltage.

If I'm reading this correctly, you are needing .1 volts to get another 45mhz? That's not scaling too well up there it seems.

EDIT: Beat me to it.

[lawrywild]

1.55v bios setting gets 2.7ghz stable, woops

the load temp isnt that much higher with the extra voltage tbh, a few degrees at most...

edit: oh yeh and stock cooler + stock volts probably actually gets hotter than this tbh..

also eva2000's FX60 on a Corsair Hydrocool200EX @ stock clocks/volts was 45 load so I'd say 50-55 is still fine, not like I'm gonna be sticking with this for 3 years... :p:

I too think I would rather knock 50MHz off if you could lower the voltage, even 2650 is blindingly quick you've a FX 60 for half the price, nice one :-)

Yeh.. I just like the number... 2750 not 2706... :D

it also maxes my ram perfectly, 250 2.5-2-2-5...

300x9 = 2700MHz exactly. ;)

[v0dka]

Get that X2 on the Rosetta team now, so we can see it's power. :)

why would i run that if I could run 270x10 lol... :p:

I realised my X2 doesn't like dividers very much, and it seems to like high LDT and high vchip (don't ask me why, probably the board)

They do nice Rosetta, been running mine 24/7 2700/1.39v, racks up the Cobblestones like mad. :D

[lawrywild]

what you guys reckon I could get with a decent phase?

[masterofpuppets]

50C won't do any harm unless it's at that temp 24/7. My chip reaches 50C often running Rosetta at 2.8/1.612v. My tcasemax is 53C, but I've been way above that (nearly 60C) when I first got it (playing with the stock cooler + an 80mm focused delta). Even that didn't do any harm. The voltage isn't all that high either. Some people run single-core rev E chips way above those volts on air 24/7.

yeh that's kinda what I was thinking...
