like i said my core 0 occaisonally lays one in dual prime testing, but i've had zero problems gaming.Quote:

Unless you find a way to entirely disable the faulty core you will at the least slowly scramble your filesystem contents.Quote:

I tried up to 1.7V BIOS but it's wayyyy to much for my typhoon. 49C loaded :eek: I'll try 1.7+ once I get good water on it :)Quote:

What's the max you'd pump ur vcore too on one of these? At 1.6v i'm idling at about 25*c and loading at approx. 41*c.

peace perc,
I'm up to 1.7v and priming at 2.8ghz right now just to see if it will stay stable, if not, guess I'll have to back her down some more :(Quote:

preliminary results are showing that 1.7v have stabilized the crap core at 2.8ghz... So weak to have to run 1.7v to be 2.8ghz stable. Contemplating an RMA with Newegg to see if I might be able to get better luck with a different one.
Currently at 2.75ghz 1.55v to see if it's stable at lower speeds with lower vcore.
Bleh, this really pisses me off, i was hoping the results from an $800 proc were going to be far better. I have been mistaken... *Thinks about snatching up a 65nm Pentium D 950 ES and going back to the dark side*
that's actually a good chip, heh. above avg I would say, not the best, not the worst, don't see too many duallies running 2.8 gigs primable. of course, for an opty, it sucks.Quote:

Primable at 2.8 only with 1.7vcore which I'm not to sure about running all the time... @ 1.7 I'm loading at 49* which is a bit on the high side, not to mention my chipset and PWMIC start burning up at that voltage.Quote:

I just think it's complete bs to have one sweet core ready to go the extra mile for you, and then have your other core be the complete opposite and sabotage ur whole proccy. Meh. *rant over*
I think 1.75, honestly I don't care about one freak incident. I'd slam 1.9v into this thing if I had the cooling.Quote:

Not what I was hoping for... Going to up the speed again and see what my max sp32 is then go with that.
Anyone think I should try an RMA and hope for a better one?
damm man it doesnt seems fair does it? this is my 180 running dual prime at 2720mhz using 1.31v in windows and set to "auto" in the bios... what cooling you using? maybe im having beter luck cause of my phasechange and yours would probly run like this too under phase?? well anyways glad to see youve gotten some kind of stablity out of it... good luck man :toast:
http://www.ausfx.com/gallery/albums/...al%20prime.JPG
man dont rma it just put it up for sale its probly a decent cpu for phasechange just didnt oc like others on air thats all...
peace perc,
Just got done sp32'n @ 2.8 and it seems stable... I think I'll take that as an answer for stability over Prime... Prime can go blow goats :p
http://upload.sysxtreme.com/0.X/0.37...p32_stable.jpg
I've been looking at picking up an Asetek LS, worth the money? My current wc setup r0x s0x but hell, if it takes the subzero temps then maybe that's just what I'll be forced to do!
That is some serious scratch for that cooling. Let us know what happens when you get it.Quote:

[QUOTE=FragTek]Just got my 180 in... having a bit of trouble with core 2 though... 2.9ghz @ 1.5vcore core 1 primes forever and core 2 fails prime in 1 minute, wtf!
Someone told me that if I popped the IHS this would fix the problem (they told me it was due to the IHS not making proper contact with that second core, does that sound like something that's been reported?).

No, and what is your step and date codes? (pretty discouraging) :(
Got a 180 coming from egg this week too. I would have expected better clocks by now. Seems like AMD duals are stuck in the 2600-2800 range no matter what, with a few exceptions. Very rare to get two great cores together. Maybe FX60 will be on a new and improved stepping. I certainly hope so.. The talk of Opterons haveing better silicon than the X2's seems just wishfull thinking. Quality control on these dual cores seems spotty to me at best. (sorry for the rant)
After a massive data corruption I'm going to pop a 18GB 15k SCSI in my machine and disable my raid for some more OC'ing. This time I'm going to let my new 0530TPMW burn in for a week or two before I start. Now that my older 0534SPMW is ready to be moved to my work rig then I'll have plenty of time playing around with it at work! :woot:

peace perc,
i just recieved a 170 that is stable at 2.75 at 1.57v from monarch
ccbwe 0541rpmw
not that much better than my x2 3800
Stable like dual prime stable or stable like Pi1M?Quote:

Got home, one core still chugging away 9.5 hours later, the other one failed after 55 mins... sooo, 55 mins eh? Not tooooo bad, but still :banana::banana::banana::banana:ty. 100% game, app, and windows stable at these settings, I think I'll stick with it for now.
Contemplating RMA'ing my chip back to Newegg next monday just to see if they can produce a miracle chip for me.
@Perc: Ur using a Vapo LS? How do you like it, and was the setup a bear with it? I think it'll look goofy under my PC-75 (its made to fit a 65 right?) and I'm also worried that I won't be able to get the capillary tube past my SLI WC setup, how flexible is that capillary? Thx in advance!
P.S. Attached is a pic of my rig showing how the WC to the SLI setup is routed, I can't see where I would route the capillary, any ideas?
