I guess it's worth a try then. It's not much bother upgrading to an HE120.3 should my temps suck.Quote:

i don't see yoru stepping in the first post. what are you average temps and clocks you've been seeing from others?Quote:

It says CCWBE 0547 TPMW, but that's probably a typo. 1.42v for 2799 (we'll say 2800, 1MHz is a miniscule difference) and 1.612 for 2800 is a very big difference. It doesn't show his load temperatures because he stopped Prime95 before taking the screenshot. My idle temps are around 29-33C, and my load temps skyrocket to 45-49C. At 2750, load is about 42-43C. Pretty huge difference for such a tiny increase in speed.
EDIT: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...0&postcount=30 This is the exact post in question
EDIT 2: Of course there is the possibility that my RAM is making a huge difference in voltage need.. but I'm just guessing.
probably wouldn't hurt to upgrade your ram anyway. isn't taht stuff ancient? like discontinued in yr2000?Quote:

I don't know if BH-5 strains the memcontroller much.
yea i'm not sure when it was discontinued, but i thought there was new and better... doesn't really matter, thats another discussion in itself. i wouldn't think it would be the bh5 itself causing the strain but the voltage its running at. i noticed that when i bumped up my vcore, temps would go up obviously when i bumped up the vdimm temps would still rise. not as much though.
i'm saying try some ram @ 2.6 or 2.7 volts and see if your temps improve. its worth a shot
Do you think buying a dual procore rad will lower my temps much? I'm hitting 43-44c with 2.85 ghz and 1.35v. And with 2.95/1.44v I hit 48c :/
You mean replace teh BIX2 with another dual 120mm? I am unfamiliar with procore but doubt any other 120.2 would be significantly better than a BIX2.Quote:

I'm getting some UCCC eventually. I'm gonna concentrate on getting a decent HDD first though. ;)Quote:

What if I run 2 rads?
I was always under the impression that thermal offset should always be subtracted from your actual temp. So a -8C would be like 40- -8 or 48C. One of my old chips seemed to idle below ambient (around 22C) and had a -8C offset so 30C made sense to me. Also I had just had a 148 on the board that had normal idle and load temps so it wasn't the board.Quote:

Temps sensors aren't at all accurate anyway, so really doesn't matter either way I guess!
Any of you tested a CCWBE 0609 FPAW on Phase Change yet?
I'm about to test one as soon as my new GFX cards get here
That's a nice chip you've got there. :toast:Quote:

Cool! always good to see phase results from good chips :toast:Quote:

I think I will just camp here for a while and focus on getting the most out of (*cough* vmods) my new 7900GTs..
How much did your load temps drop after removing the IHS? What vcore does it take for 2.8 prime95?Quote:

i would like to know if this average if with/without the IHS and what type of cooling. im assuming its no IHS with water cooling.
i primed 2.75 @ 1.5v and core 0 froze at 7.5 hours and core 1 was good for 20 hours. going to try burnin and see if it works. hoping to hit 2.8 on air at least.
If you froze at 7.5 hours, I suspect heat was the culprit. What are you temps?
I popped the top right after I got it, made sure it worked, tested for like 10 mins.. all I remember is that is that it idled at 36c! crazy.. it went down to like 32c sans IHS. 2800 takes 1.375 vcore..Quote:

I might be fretting too soon as I have fresh AS5 on the core now and it seems to not like that.. once it set I was able to get like 50mhz more on the same vcore.. so maybe the jury should stay out on this for a bit.. :)
yea, ive gone through about 3 optys in the past 2 months and the AS5 hasnt even cured before i got rid of em :)
this 0530 is a keeper unless i can get a CCB1E. hoping for better temps and OC when it finally cures.
