what are your temps like with 1.6volts to the cpu?
idle 38-39c usually and load like 45cQuote:

so I should be good.
EDIT: but man it was sooo nice on 1.45v, I idled at 32c :]
Hey
What is the complete stepping off your CPU and what is the exact cooling you are using
My CPU will do 2.6GHZ @ 1.27V 2.8GHZ @ 1.34V all prime stable on a crappy Asus Board; will test again with DFI in week or two
I got my chip to 3383Mhz with 1.55v and my Zalman 9500 (suicide shot only LOL:D ). For some reason it won't boot with more voltage. Air temp was about 15C I guess...
I have a cvf file of that score, but CPUZ sometimes doesn't read the mobo details and some other crap needed to get a validation.
3.5 won't be easy for you (or me) I think, so good luck!
What motherboard were you using?Quote:

Good luck to you on getting it higher and I hope that luck carries over to me.
Anyways, updated some stuff at first post.
Mine is working fine, CPUZ #205038, Idling aroud 31-32C using the Opteron stock AMD heatpipe cooler. These new X2 5600+ chips are sweet.
Running 250Mhz x14, with the ram at 250Mhz (DDR500 er DDR2-1000) 5,5,5,15 using 1.525Vcore. THough the chip does run 3.0Ghz @ 1.30Vcore :D
Are you comparing AM2 chips to the OP's S939 chip?Quote:

haha yeah that one confused me also
anyways
update at top
and here:
won a DFI SLI-DR Expert for $56 + shipping
can't wait till it comes in!
i hit 3.47 Ghz on water (link in sig). 3.5 is a crazy, crazy goal for aircooling. It is pretty much only going to happen if you have an extremely cool ambient temperature that allows you to crank the volts, but technically possible.
I remember people got some single core opties to 3.6 Ghz on air -- in the dead of winter with like -10C air :p: Unfortunately now its summer. Unless you live in AUS?
Good luck with it
haha thanksQuote:

so im guessing idle would be 44ish at 3.5GHz....
I hope I can.
I have 2 room fans (portable) that when I turn on it and put it up right close lower my temps like 2-4c which is nice.
for 3.5 Ghz you'll need more than fans... we're talking AC blasting into the side of the case, or an exceptionally cold night. This would probably require around 1.65-1.675 Vcore.Quote:

couldn't I just turn that upside down and use that to kinda keep the CPU cool? I will just have to buy like 9234 cans to boot into windows hahaha.
also
would that still count as air? haha
Yeah, but only if you use the canned air in tins labelled "Butane" :)
hahaha nice one.Quote:

250Mhz = DDR500 = DDR2-1000. The clock is 250Mhz, for DDR the data is double sampled (rising and falling edge) and for DDR2 it is quad sampled. So the data rate on the actual data burst out of the ram is 500Mhz for DDR and 1000Mhz for DDR2 but the stick is CLOCKED at 250Mhz.
So mine is running 250Mhz x14 on the cpu, no divider (running 1:1) 250Mhz on the DDR2 ram, 5.0, 5, 5, 15 timings.
So the newest chips are looking doable for 3.5Ghz on air, and for me this is all with 70-75F room temperature... I dont have the AC in the window yet.
Yeah I was just going to get an AM2 but I would rather squeeze everything I can out of this proc and maybe even place 1st on HWBot.
anyways

how bout some stress testing?
you want to see the results or do you mean burn in?
Squidmaster Dude I am lovin these results but I have a Q have you tryed popping the IHS off?
No haven't and for the reason that I have heard WAY to many horror stories about people screwing up, and it's just not worth it IMHO.Quote:

Yes, and you need all the help you can get to acieve your goal.
Very true.Quote:

and have to sand down the heat sink retainer feet ... i got the vid that angry made
I think that doing that is out of my league.
If I had more knowledge of removing the IHS then I might, just might do it, but I have never done it before and I don't want to ruin a great CPU.
I've seen load temps go down 15c from removing the IHS... it depends on how well it is making contact
