hopefulyl everyone with the Z's are missing somehting to puch them past the 2.6 mark. There is a thread out about poor winnies benifiting from more voltage when it is raised by percentages rather than actual values?

I've got a "2" from ZZF and i have the same problem, it's all luck of the draw. I tried the voltage thing you refer to, I'm sure that I'm getting the voltages that I think I am but there's no effect.

Ok, just a shot in the dark. Yea 2 guys have the same stepping as me. ONe is doing 2.7 and the other 2.6
Ill be happy in the middle somewhere

so after further testing...

i can do prime 2.75 ghz with 1.53 volts

but in order to run 2.8 ghz (or 50 mhz more) i need 1.66!!!

crazy... but 2.75 is nothing to complain about since all the awesome winchesters are gone.. and should be good enough to hold me over until venice is released soon :)

There's nothing wrong with running 1.66VCORE, even if you're on air. Go for it. :toast:

yeah i know... but is it worth boosting vcore that much to gain only 50 mhz though?

Yes. It's worth it. Afterall, this is XtremeSystems. :cool:

I run my Newcastle 3200 at 1.68v 24/7 without problems and temperatures never go over 50c under load. I have a Hyper 6 HSF which gives me some room to play, but in general since these chips are 1.5v stock even 1.7v is not that much increase that it would cause damage if the air cooling is good.

Where did your CAA2C get it from???

Mine feels no slower than my FX-55 at the same clock.

could anyone just put my mind at rest with my CPU temps b4 i start overclocking ?... im using a XP-90 HSF with a thermaltake silentcat9 fan and my temps in smartguardian are 41c idle and 50c running superPI with 100% load..... does that seem ok for this cpu at stock or is it running hot? thnx :)

Mine didn't run any hotter Chivalry with the stock hsf -- it is setup on my techstation though in a cool room -- 18°C.

um.. so u saying that im geting the same temps with a XP-90 that u were getting with the stock HSF? :0(

I got a CAA2C from ZZF yesterday and i'm struggling to get it over 2.6Ghz on a DFI Ultra-D. I have the voltage close to 1.6V and CPU-Z reports 1.584V. It boots up into windows fine at 240 HTT x 11 (2640Mhz) but its not Prime95 stable at all. My temps may be the problem since i have an XP-90 installed but only a 80mm Cooler Master fan until my 92mm high speed Panaflo gets here.

This DFI Ultra-D sure has a :banana::banana::banana::banana: load of configurations in the Genie BIOS to mess around with. Getting everything right for the RAM in the DRAM config is a pain.

I'll see if i can't get this thing stable tonight after work. If not i'll be sending this one back and ither getting another one or wait and grab a Venice core.

Yeah, nice cool, and open. I just got an XP-90 to test. I need to figure out how to install the bracket (orientation, etc) on my MSI Neo4 Platinum SLI board. I have a Panasonic quiet fan to use with it and an old 92mm Tornado too.

I'll let you know how it does for temps.

I'm having a hard time sitting here and staring at it without doing any testing, where's my damn VX!! :mad:

It was my Gigabyte mobo that was holding me back. I'm up to 2.42ghz now and will be going higher soon. These Neo2's are pretty nice.
