LOL I just cut off some of that green crap on the thing... Probably dead with my luck. Every IHS gets harder and harder to take off...

I'll pick some up tonight, thanks.Quote:

How does the memorycontroller does his job?

After it's off, what should be use to brace the heatsink? I know XP's have those four circle pads, one in each corner.
You gain a few C... I always take IHS off.
3ghz 8m stable 1.5v right now. Ram works just as well as on my 3700+ diego :) So far at least. Only tested 265mhz. Haven't pushed 3.8v yet for some suicide 1m benching on the ram. Still on watercooling. About to try 32m
Anyone know when these hardcore little overclocking Optys come out in the UK?
To say "I want one" is a complete understatement... :slobber:
Nice going,Quote:

:)
U can already get these over at cpucity.co.uk, go and take a look, he should have Opty 144 in by Monday and Opty 146 at a later date.Quote:

Dunno whether to order or not to order a 144, or wait for the 146's or 150's now...
Decisions decisions..... ;)
:slobber: :slobber:
I realy need to get one of these opties when they come out here, if i had the money I would buy 2 of these great chips, but i also need to save some money for a new phase system and I still have to build a liquid-cooling system for my sempie, and then i also need a new motherboard and hd,s :( , Looks like i have to overwork alot the coming few weeks :D
Can,t wait to get one of these in my hands :banana:
Ok:
Voltage doesn't help AT ALL. at 1.55v bios I'm 32m stable at 3ghz. Even up to 1.85v I can't boot over 3060mhz. Weird...
These opties scale terribly with volts.
3050mhz 5m2s 8m :D
Got a liter of ice in res waiting for temps to pull down...
afi :
what temps are you getting without IHS?
you also need to tell us what speeds you were getting before IHS removalQuote:

My results ^^
So with all these results coming in, i haven't had time to tweak with mine would a Sandy 3700 Scale better than these Opty's 144/146's?
Anyone know when they will sells these at Newegg?
First tests....couldn't get an inch over 2.68GHz, regardless of voltage, RAM, LDT, etc.
I was wicked bummed to say the least....almost in tears (well, not quite, LOL). Then I got the crazy idea to run the 9x multi, which cleared 2.72GHz. At which point my RAM was a major limitation at 2.5-3-3-0. So I went into BIOS, dropped the multi to 9x, set the divider to 5/6, set timings to 2.5-4-4-7, set voltage back to 1.41V and ran with it.
Well, anyway, here's a quick glimpse of what's to come ;) .....this wasn't even the max, I simply haven't tried higher. :woot:

:banana: another good one........what BIOS are you on Vapor?
Welp, someone down the hall was playing Busta Rhymes and I kept hearing "Gimme Some Mo'" over and over, so I obeyed. Still haven't hit the max--this is just the highest I've tried :D

EDIT: I'm on the 704-2BTA.
:slobber: almost makes it better you thought it was a poor clocker aswell, a suprise clocker :D
