Only mentioned it because you said you crashed before, that was probably why, actually why i suggested cinebench. Then i was gonna tell ya to up CPU NB VID.

I see, thanks for the advice. I have to grow into it again a bit. I haven't touched AMD since my Opteron 146.
Here she is at 2.6GHz NB clock though, haven't touched the voltages yet. I don't plan to untill i strap on the waterblock.

Actually it's Windows7 64 bit. ;)
I'm gonna put it under water as soon as my project is ready for it: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=216871
Sry Lightman its looks like you are second with Air on hwbot now ;)
What about under 16s with Air in super pi1m with Phenom II 940BE
I like my True Black its work good with slow 1200rpm fans to :D

It looks like I'm fifth in hwbot on air with that Pi score:

And second with this validation: 4351.24MHz @1.536V.
My happy Friday 13th :D
No clue, no accurate way to measure it, multimeter/ K type probe on heatpipe as close as I can get to center of IHS says 23-24C.
With 940 BE my software temps are 10-15C higher with this cpu my ambients were 22 to 23C and cpu reported 16C via AOD, gigabyte easytune is also far fetched.
use realtemp and add 20C to the temp to get a semi accurate tmep
Well, I've had a couple days to play with this new 940 (0852 BPFW) and I'm actually amazed at how different it is compared to the one in my sig.
The strangest thing is the CPU voltage (Stuen4y :))... My week 50 loves volts and actually OC's about 100mhz better than this one, but it needs ~1.57 to run stable @ 3.85.
This chip won't even post with voltage higher than 1.5 in bios and I'm pretty sure with a little more patience it will do 3.7+ with v's well under 1.475. :D
The IMC is the same way, both seem to top out around 2700, but the 0850 needs 1.3v to get there and the 0852 will do it on 1.25v (more v's don't seem to help much on either chip)...
Needless to say, I still have alot of tinkering to do. I just found the huge voltage differences kind of odd. :shrug:
Has anyone else with 2 940's noticed this big of a difference or am I the only one goofy enough to buy another one when I had a decent clocker to begin with... :p:
When/If I get tired of running water I get the feeling the week 52 would be the better chip. It certainly runs alot cooler overall.
I'm waiting for week 01 chips to spin out, 01 has always been good to me. I could let people in on a secret as to why but I don't feel like dealing with disbelievers as I did in the stepping thread.....
Yeah *chew, please do tell.. :D
They had 5 "0901"'s at Microcenter when I bought this chip, but I passed because the serial numbers were in the 903xx's...
Rather simple, all machines wear out with time and need to be recalibrated, retooled etc etc. This is usually done like clockwork based on a maintenance schedule.......Do the math.
Makse sense thanks Chew* :D
I am seriously having issues with my Northbridge :confused: When it goes over 2100mhz it doesn't like me at all and poof its unstable no matter how much voltage i press into it. Abit of a dissapointment, considering selling this CPU and getting an x3 720BE or something instead:ROTF:
Hey smart. Are you changing the cpuNB-vid voltage for north bridge OC which is in HEX?
Now that I told you my secret.
all your 0901 CPU r belong to me
Seriously at least leave one under 0050 batch 0901 for me to grab :p:
