I finally decided to put the chip in after letting it lie around for a couple of days. Anyway, all the voltages and stuff are in the pic. My temps look really good considering I have no floor fan or anything else on this case. This case on has 2 in's on the front (low CFM) and the only out is the PSU. This case that I am using is totally stock. No tornados or anything. The side of the case is open though. I would like to add that temps may vary a bit more than mine. I am not using Arctic Silver 3 either. Some prototype compound.
In 3D I did fairly well but this score is still about 1,200 points behind my intel with no overclock at all on the card. But hey thats still not too bad for no aircooling and running a terrible memory speed since I'm stuck at 15 multi. So things are looking good for the first run today. This is definately way more exciting than when I got the 2.8 Chip.
So overall IMO this chip is a very good buy at the moment. $200 and puts you close to P4's at about 3.2GHz I'd say. I might have to try another bios for full t-bred support too. I'm thinking about going ahead and pelting the GPU and benching this AMD rig a little eith the CPU still on air. I estimating roughly 17.8K with the same OC on the card as last time. Maybe closer to 18k. If I got the memory up It would be scary how close this would be to my intel.
I'll do some super cooling soon but I don't feel like covering the whole chip in dialectric grease and condensation proofing the board cause this is my 24/7 rig. Right now I got it folding but I'll do some more testing later.
