No, no way, this one is just average compared to others i've seen. edit -> Like his above ^^ lol
Just other people 1) don't have watercooling 2) don't push as far
Also there are heat and voltage relationships that many people neglect. I.E. 2 days ago i tried this processor out at 3.0 Ghz with 1.52v and it started loading at 51c and it was failing prime instantly on core0.
Now i am doing 3 Ghz with LESS volts and the load temp (at 46cnow) is what's keeping it going.
I also have a proven setup, my mobo/ram/PSU combo is NEVER the limiting factor. CompGeek, for the absolute most i would recommend the stepup to a DFI if you haven't already done so... possibility it's holding you back if you're on an eVGA (dont remember for sure).
Mine run was with 20°C ambient and fans @ sleep mode :rolleyes:Quote:

I said yours was better :D
Here's my screeny
I suppose my 0610 just runs hotter than others, bad IHS

Hehe you've been running a lot of background processes! Next time post Taskmanager.. I bet the "left" core ran way shorter. (I'm not too good at bets ;))Quote:

Fail to see the importance of task manager shot. What's important is that it ran, of course there were background apps, i bought my computer to use it :)
Well since prime is running @ low priority I'm guessing the "left" core ran about 2-3hrs less prime :p:Quote:

Everybody knows my opinion on Priming...
Uhu no offence :fact:Quote:

I still have the eVGA, I want to get a DFI, I have my eVGA posted F/T
Venus if you can get one or Dfi CFX-3200DRQuote:

Unless you plan on using it for more than 2-3 months or get CF, get the Ultra-D You're gaurenteed a AD0 or later revision and it's a very stable, versatile and flexible board. I backed down from my Expert, because it was too picky with ram and am loving it.
And compgeek you should take my advice, instead of throwing money away for the sli-dr, unless you want a big box and more sata ports. Just because it's more expensive doesn't mean it's better:rolleyes: .
Good you menstion the S-ATA ports! I have 6 HHD's (2 raptors, 2x200 and 2x160). I need a board with 8 porst, at least :D The price of the cfx is something I'll ovecome,... More advice, anyone? :rolleyes:Quote:

Temps dont seem to be a problem as it never gets over 42deg load duel prime small ffts, the coolest chip Ive had by far. Even the PWMIC temps never go above 40deg when they were always high 50's with every other chip ive had.
Maybe theres a weak link somewhere as I had 3 - 165 CCB1E VPMW's which 2.8Ghz was max out of any of them. I run my mem on a 133 divider to take it out of the equation.
Any ideas ?
by the way, i figured out why my temps were spiking so high and not coming back down. turns out i rode the short bus that day and had both my 12cm case fans blowing in. i wish i had an excuse :(
Here's my CCBWE 0551 UPMW i run it @ 2.6ghz for 24/7...2.85ghz for benching...here's a screenie @ 3ghz @ 1.55v on air Zalman cnps9500.....just wish i had better cooling to give it a good testing.:)
wow, theres a sight never seen, an 0551 @ 3ghz
I posted my results of my CCBWE 0546MPMW, now I know on the first page it says "avoid if you want to hit 2.8" Well it does 2.85ghz at 1.45v (shows 1.5v in cpu-z) on air. So it hits 56°c dual prime stable.
Question:
If the cpu won't even boot at 3ghz, is it pretty much worthless to try and get it to 3ghz?
Thank you....it must be a rare one lol....here's a pic of chip.Quote:

It was like $175 when i checked on Newegg. To me it looks like the CFX would just pose more issues with overclocking cause when i was looking at the official thread on dfi-street people were having some issues. And i've looked at a couple of reviews and at stock at least the NF4 boards are faster.Quote:
