Yah I just watched home alone 3 with my kids, I run a controlled environment so I have nothing to worry about.

Now I'm testing 3940mhz, 2800+ NB same volts.......the fan is just intolerable however....gonna watch a bluray in other room.

I have no clue, its extremely high,as well as the db, it can most certainly dice carrots/fingers or whatever gets in the blades...

It's my benching fan I almost never use it for prime because its not real world imo.

hmm 3940 dropped a core at 44C,must need more volts, more than I'm willing to throw at it on air. Ahh screw it I'll toss 1.6v at it for a little bit and watch temps, I dont like to break 50C on air.

youve got a tighter tolerance on your temps than I do , My limit is 60c at 100% load.......for normal 24/7 gaming it always stays behind 55c.

I have to say these cpus are 100% more stable than the phenom 1.

could you imagine if this is what we had gotten for the first Phenom what we would have gotten as Phenom 2?:eek:

I imagine i wouldn't have an intel rig in my sig if this had been what they released back then ;)

I dont know, I just set it and let it go, when I first got the cpu, didnt think anything of it since it passed the Occt 1 hour without a problem. since then I just leave it at 2.8ghz and everything I test it stays the same or goes higher I never lower it.

I guess I could do that...My wife does try to get me to watch American Idle with her ..... That is at least an hour I could tuff through.

They brainwashed her.....Id rather jump out the window naked from the second floor onto a bed of nails than to even sit through a minute of that show:ROTF:

Or my second choice is when the first set of commercials comes on say you got diahria.....head for the bathroom with your favorite computer magazine and dont come out till you hear the ending credit music:D

GTA4 Benchmark, later I will try the same settings in Vista. Loading the ATI drivers causes the system to hardlock during powerplay transitions for me, anyone else have this problem? I can use the Windows Update Drivers and they work OK. And the Overdrive in CCC always claims the overclock fails, even at stock settings?!

In my opinion the system is not stable then. And they have gone to far with voltages/clocks. I have never killed a board with running prime for more than 8 hours. But i'm not clocking with high v-cores anymore. Because the performance per watt gets screwed like hell if you raise the v-core.40 watt exta for only 100 MHz. Its not worth it imo.

But i have done that in the past getting the last MHz out of chips to get the highest 3dmark 01 score :) i wonder how much power that prometia system with a 2.8 GHz Barton was using back then.

Good point! :up:

The problem for us that have been using Intel (and AMD) for a while have been "spoiled" by various Core2 Duo/Quad chips ("lucky" chips).
I have seen 100% twice with "super-cheap" E4300, 4Ghz 24/7 stable E5200 (NOK 600/USD 100) and a super-cheap MSI P45 board paired with a Q6600 (G0) 3.6Ghz@1.28VCore (24/7).

It is then difficult to be impressed by two perfectly good PII-rigs, X4 920@3.4 and X4 940@3.6 for 24/7 use (and the rigs was at least double the cost of the above Intel rigs.. as I had to get new boards/paid "new stuff-price" for the PHII rigs.

Anyhow:
I swapped my two PHII before the weekend, and could test the max for my 940 in the MSI DKA790GX board.
It is an OK chip, but nothing spectacular compared to other posters here that shows 4Ghz++ 24/7 results. :(

There's a formula I have for temps ;)

Stock heatsink, stock Cpu settings run prime , max temps you see is the max safe temps amd wants that particular chip to run at....adjust heatsinks, volts cooling methods accordingly.

Decided to stick with my Exceleram and do some more testing.

Last time I checked both instances of MEMtest did a coverage of 150% without issues. Leaving them running.

This was at a HTT of 290 with 5-5-4-15. So RAM was at DDR1160, pretty cool. Im a bit bored right now because Ive still got to wait for my new Enermax Revolution 1250W PSU before I can test my new WC stuff. I didnt want to go further on air than +0.150V. Although temps weren't bad at all, 47 load, I noticed Volts have to be added way more aggresive if I go over 3.7Ghz.

When I finally get thew WC installed Ill keep current Vcore and see if there's actually an eventual increase from the cooling, then Ill wack the Vcore to 1.55~1.6 and hope to get 4Ghz. I hope 1.55Vcore is safe-ish for 24/7 but well:rolleyes: At least I hope I can make a good use of DDR1160 with above timings and somewhere around 4Ghz CPU:cool:

Weird, I was able to pull down into the low 9's., Of course @ 4.1ghz+. But in Win 7 and Vista I can hit 9 also. I wonder what is holding it back?

Looks like week 52 is a kick ass week again like on the Xp-m 2600 0352.

0852 what is the last letters? RPMW?

We want more info from this 0852 what is max super pi1m with air?, 3dmark2006, batch number.

Good frequency for the stock voltage, but you don't believe he can actually run anything on that voltage, right? :)
