idk how you guys can run 1.6v+ on air.....my cpu shutdown because of temps @ 1.5/1.55v under water. I've checked contact and it's fine
also it looks like it tops at 54x :(

could be worse i guess, I tested many sub 52X.Quote:

ok now bad news/good news
good news:
temps are sorted i guess <75oC @ 1.54/1.55 for 5.4ghz
bad news:
cannot touch bclck, 100.3=blinking cursor
Can you go higher with 53X?.........Quote:

i'll try it under SS tomorrow or later this week to see if i can improve, then i'll start benching it 2d/3d
Thats what I hear. :)Quote:

Hey man it isn't that bad. These things are still fast at 5.4. The best one out of 7 2600Ks for me was 5.3g. :rolleyes:Quote:

Thanks man! :up:

54 is definately a good chip - there are a lot of 52 and below.Quote:

Your chip is for sure well above average, :up:
Congrats on your acquisition!Quote:

It's the same set that I've been running at 1.88v so much.
Since I'm dead in the water on SB for the moment maybe I'll fire up the x58 UD7/W3520 and test this memory a little better.
As you suggested before, one stick at a time and what app's? :shrug:
I wonder if the memory controller will limit me? :shrug:
Nice Dragon skinned mobo job Elano :)
You might be able to run 1100mhz or more memory depends on the CPU I think.Quote:

Awesome scores MTP04! :up: :up: :up:
Nice score Yotomeczek, I'm sure you can get some more out of the card! :yepp:
Good work Messrs MTP04 and Yotomeczek! Nice scores guys!
Thanks Mr Steve and Dan. I hope to get some ln2 in the coming weeks.:)
Hope that works out well man! :up:Quote:

Eraser works ok... but conformal rocks. :up:Quote:

Ok, thanks for the info. I used both conformal and eraser on my REX, witch was my first board prep. Went ok, the board didn't die :rofl: The Dragon stuff just looks like its really easy and fast to apply, the eraser takes some time for me to do.
I usually do both conformal (brush on, let it dry, preferrably overnight) and then eraser over that with shop towel overall - is this overkill?Quote:

I think if you did the conformal right and covered everything, you really don't need eraser except a tiny bit around the socket.Quote:
