I will follow you on this one, my goal was 4.0Ghz 8 cores (4 threads for the WCG 24/7) and 4 Threads for the system. The temperatures reach 90c 8 threads priming but I doubt 8 threads will ever be working at full. So at the end 4 threads 24/7 will be at maximum 77c.
Maybe it is just me, but I notice that I am either rock stable or BSOD. There is no in between where Prime95 is failing or getting glitches. If I can run Prime, then it seems to run forever and everything is good. Just a small tweak, and bang BSOD.
dj883u2, what sort of cooling are you using? Are you on air or water there???
Download the latest Realtemp program and you are going to be very surprised.
Right on guys I finished my 24/7 crunch system:
Air Cooling True Copper lapped:
First lets see 4.0Ghz 8 threads ran for almost 20 minutes maximum 88c.

4Ghz 20 Minutes 8 threads =
Maximum: 88c
Average Maximum: 85c
http://ssyybg.blu.livefilestore.com/...201.168%20.jpg
3.7Ghz 8 threads 7 Hours Prime 95 =
Maximum: 73c
Average Maximum: 72
Load minimum and maximum average: 2 hours = 540 / 8 = 67.5
3.8Ghz should be a little higher.
4Ghz to 4.2Ghz means:
200Mhz x 8 cores = 1600Mhz which is converted into heat into heat.
So it looks like is a general problem for aircooling users, this chip is too hot. The only way to get 4.2 Ghz to work with 8 threads is with a good watercooling.
By the way 1 fan 1300RPM 54CFM for me is better than 2 fans as the latter was explained.
This was an interesting week,
Thank you all who participated and contributed to this thread. This is a very good thread explaining many things about this amazing processor.
Well I will keep at 3.717Mhz 1.168V 24/7 8 threads mainly because my goal was to keep 4 to 6 logical processors for the World Community Grid xtremesystems team.
I will only use 4.2Ghz if I need to bench for any reason or if a game does not run at 60 frames per second and the same needs a CPU boost or to play the best Playstation 2 emulator PCSX2 at amazing frame rates which is a CPU eater.
I spent all my money building this system which I do not regret at all however if I only knew the best aircooling solution would not stand for 4.2Ghz then I would have built a water cooling solution. Well there are things we can not go back in the past. It was done and was for good.
I will change to water cooling in the next few months and keep at 4.2 Ghz 8 threads. I still think it is possible to keep such speed with a good water cooling solution. There are good radiators out there in the market.
The CPU-Z Validation: 3.7Ghz 8 threads 1.168

It's not a superchip but not bad also i think....
The perfect gaming system: 4.2Ghz 4 Threads 90c maximum.

Real Temp 2.70 is the latest version i see on google. do you have a link to version 2.90?
Edit i found it. Not much differance in temp readings more even if anything.

lol why search google, when the official real temp thread is here? :ROTF:

Everybody uses Asus, Intel and Gigabyte Mobos but no DFI LANparty UT X58 why? Maybe too much settings? :D
I'm sure, some users like Tony or Eva2000 are testing it. (non public) :D
For some of you guys using higher clocks, what are your other voltages at? I am just playing with CPU vCore cause i am not sure what everything else is for. And I crash after about an hour.
