I should have it installed under my Swiftech MCW462-U water-block in a few hours with some results using a straight water set up.
Notice the L1 bridges are not cut and the L3 1,3,5 bridges are. I will be connecting these L3 bridges straight away and popping it on my KX7.
I'll post back with results in a while (if everything goes according to plan that is...cross your fingers).

good luck bro and it will be great havinf results in direct comparison against pelt cooling.
Good luck man. I just use plain water so Im interested in your results also. That cpu looks like it has a really green core compared to the ones Ive seen and a different stepping.

No reply for an hour, blew it already huh? :D
Can't wait to see the results, i'm using plain H²O too. :)

Sit tight guys....RL calls and I gotta take the family out to dinner.
CPU is unlocked already. So it won't be long after my return:)

Okay...an update.
First off, unlocking the chip took me longer than I thought. Not sure what my problem was....just didn't ahve the touch tonight.
Any way, after a few no boots and I finally got the bridges right. And when I did just it booted right up.
Thanks for the that Guide :)
Out of the gate I knew I had just found a reason to get that pelt I've been eyeballing. The chips are smokin' just as everyone says and heat is obviously the limiting factor with these puppies. And throw in that it has been in the mid 90s F here in Detroit all week, and ambients are between 29 and 30 with the A/C on.
The best it would muster after about 45 minutes of tinkering is:

This was with 1.85v, idle at 44 annd loaded at 47....that's way hot. I need to get my water temp probe hooked back up so I can judge my efficiency a little more.
I know that with some more reasonable ambient temps, and some fine tuning of the voltage choices, there is plenty more in it with a straight water set up. I'll stay at it and keep you posted.
I should have things broken in and tweaked up over the next day.

that temp isnt that high for the cpu speed..
damn nice FSB aswell...i would love a 200+Mhz FSB...
BTW hows the bandwidth at that speed?

No the temps aren't crazy or anything, but the chip needs to be exceptionally cool to overclock well.
She'll boot up at 2080mhz easy. The screen shot above is for my max stable which means it can loop 3DMark2001SE.
BTW: the memory bandwidth at that speed is:

What watercooling setup are you using?
I plan to run 2.1V-2.2V through mine when I order one.
I will be watercoling it but It's unfortunate that the surface area is so small, strange how AMD still haven't adopted Intel's heatspreader.
I couldn't imagine crunching a new T-Bred:eek:

The water set up is from Swiftech (in the for of thier Quiet Power case). 1048 enheim pump, mcw462 block, 4 x 8 Rad with twin 120mm fans, closed loop.
BTW, I'd advise you to think twice about putting that kind of voltage through the .13 process TBred unless you have at least a 226w pelt or better. Much over 1.9 to 2.0 on these TBreds will not buy you much more than trouble without super cooling.
In fact, based on early results by OPP and MrIcee, it's seems these chips like the lower voltages...not higher.
Just food for thought.

Intel's IHS is crap, but it does protect the cpu (that's a good thing). Problem is you want direct cpu die-to-heatsink contact for ideal cooling conditions. Placing a layer of metal between them gives these surfaces more opportunities to be uneven or have more gaps, etc. On top of that, Intel was putting really crappy compound between the cpu and IHS, stuff that shouldn't even be made, let alone placed as a thermal conductive material! :p
