Also Devious. I can't believe your complaining.. Thats so NOT fair. you're very very lucky to be prime stable at 4.0 Ghz with only 1.23v like that first shot you put up. I need 1.3312v to be Prime stable at 4.0 Ghz. also at 4.0 your full LOAD temps are around 45c. thats very very good for air cooling. I WISH mine were that good, and you said you were not happy with the temps. lol.
So. I lapped my Tuniq. and now my Q9650 at 4.0 Ghz idles around 34c but I've yet to replace the top 120mm fans on my case, I ordered new ones. so maybe they will help my temps.

I'm thinkin about getting the TRUE instead. as I'm still not happy with temps. Loads are around 61/55/55/55 or so. I've seen many people with same, or higher clocks get better, and lower load temps. just like devious. I know he's on less voltage but still. these temps just aren't good enough for me.. I know the true is a little better. you guys think I'd benefit from getting the TRUE.
as i posted earlier I idled mine about 12 hrs , then did a Light O/C for the next 2 days off & on , then stock voltages as I primed it for an hour at a timeQuote:

I've been messing about with this CPU trying to get it as far as I can within reasonable voltages and this is what I reached with a vcore of 1.42 actual. These are not prime stable, but they are benchmark stable. In terms of prime stability I'm only up to 474*9 at 1.4v with all other voltages fairly low.
I was aiming for 4.5GHz with my ram at 1200MHz. Not there yet...

Drop some water on that Puppy & yer off to the Races !!!Quote:

I mangaged to get 4ghz @ 1.32 volts in cpu-z @ load. Temps are idol 28 and load 54 after 2 hours prime stable. Off now for a night out on the town now so will post back when I get up. Gona try and drop voltage abit seen as this was first I tried. mines a 1.25 but flys
Thanks mate I'll do that as soon as I finish my project build (see sig).Quote:

also yea I'm probably going to get a true. as they are a lil better. I would consider going water, but I for one don't know anything about it. nor I have the cash ATM. what about something like the swiftech 220?
I think my signature should now appear below! Abracadabra! I'm having issues gaining stability though. Seems I can't fine tune the gtl or I'm not prepared to give it enough juice. I don't know yet.Quote:

go water with a Vtec V2,or swiftek GTZ, a DDC3 pump & the swifty Rad's are more bang for yer buckQuote:

I've been able to get the max OC with the shaders stopping me, not heat. With it from 576 Mhz core to 744 Mhz core my temps on full load stay around 61c. thats not bad at all considering how high it's clocked.
Maybe later I'd get something for it. But if anything I just wanna water the CPU, as I'm not happy about current temps... So the Swifty 220 is for the CPU only. and it's not to expensive. like $139.99 or so. would it last,
and how good of quality are there parts. I'd not want any leaks.
Also I'm missing my top mounted 120mm exhaust fan as it was to big for it, and my Tuniq in there. So I've ordered some smaller 120mm Medium speed YateLoons. they will be here tomorrow. I'll try those out. if they
don't help my temps. Mainly my load temps. then I'll be even more upset. as before I lapped the Tuniq, or took out the fans that were to big, at 4.050ghz my load temps were 61/55/55/55 and now they get over that
within 5 minutes. so hopefully the new fans will help, otherwise I'll try a re-seat, if that doesn't work, then It will be either a TRUE, or H2O..
just wondering what software you used to clock ur graphics to overclock and test. And how do you do the vdroop mod. It won't make alot of diffrence gettin water cooling if it internal.Quote:

and Devious. I hate your volts and chip, thats one of the better I've seen. 1.216v at 4.0 ghz. I can't do that at stock speed on mine. well maybe, not tried. (I remember a long time ago hearing about starving the CPU of volts
when you first get it. Like setting less volts. it gets used to it, and then can run with less. is that at all realistic?) yea, I hate your temps and your voltage. totally great. Wanna swap Q9650's.
and gurusan thats a pretty great chip you got there. I wish I had a better VID. I really do, but I can't complain at 4.2 Ghz stable. thats just not something to be complaining about ya know!
How about to buy better board ? :shrug:Quote:

It's not the board.. I've got to 470 FSB.. and still going.. My vid is 1.2500.. thats part of it. But either way it still clocks great.
I've yet to try to go any higher than 470 FSB, and 1.345v but I will soon.
above post I was joking BTW!
HAS anyone seen the Massive O/C's they are getting with this P45 board ?? ordered one today( on sale today & FREE shipping ! NewEgg Love !) & some G.Skill super PI (also on sale )
