My old 730 was the worst clocking one i've seen, but today I swapped chips with a kid at school (had an i9300) and this one is great.

preliminary results:

posts at 2.9ghz
2.8ghz mostly-stable with 1.6v (occt for 1:40 with no errors, 1hour games, one random firefox crash)
2.7ghz stable wtih 1.4v (update: i closed prime at the 2hour mark and after a little ut action, i think it's stable) :woot:

I'll keep the 2.7 for daily use :D. I'm happy now :cool:.

congrats for that.

I did vitally the samething. my ex-740 can only do 185x13 that's 2400ish

I swapped it with a friend's laptop's 740 and now I'm doing 2.6Ghz rock stable @ 1.4v, don't wanna try higher since I like frequency numbers that "sounds beautiful" LOL how weird am I
