I was quite supprised about how little the ram speed affected 3dmark06. But I´m sure that its a bigger difference between say 800 Mhz and 1200

There is a 50-50 chanse to get it right between yes and no,

not sufficient for me :shrug:

Does anyone else have problems running SuperPi 32M in Vista x64? I can do all of the other ones - only 32M fails after 4-6 minutes, even at stock settings. I can also Prime95 for hours. :|

I saw this thread on OCForums: http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=543015

But also saw that many other people can run 32m in Vista... how odd :(

Maybe my chip really is better than I think it is since I switched over to SuperPi runs as a quick stability check before clocking higher.

My sensor doesnt drop below 51, even though the bios shows 33. Core temp is always showing 65 loaded. Real temp shows 55 ish. Before I needed alot more voltage but the temps were identical. I dont think the sensor is calibrated / working right with mine as my q6600 would make my rad warm when priming. This doesnt even get it warm. So for temps I can't really say. For stability with less volts lapping made a huge diff.

I can't get it stable at 500x9, but it was enough for Pi 4M and CPU-Z validation.

That has got to be one of the more impressive 45nm chips I have seen. Where did you get it from "zoob"? I'm from TO as well so if it is local maybe I can grab another one to play with my E8400 which only does 4.2Ghz @ 1.35V (15+ Prime stable).

From Intel :)

It is an RMA chip after my first E8500 randomly died.

Yeah I had it, sucked ass though. Needed 1.40v for 4ghz and was barely even stable. Might be good for throwing at some duck or other waterbird.

Seriously, is not one time enough for asking?

Edit: Oh it seems to be a new code again, just dont spam too much. If anyone has them I'm sure they will report.

Awesome thanks. I will be lapping my Q748A144 now, I think the IHS is
convex, it also runs a good +10c hotter than my Q747XXXX.

Never seen one. Is it a mysterious chip?

nope L740Axxx "T" 4.5ghz @ 1.5v seems good. I dunno spectacular, but I've hit 4690 bench stable @ 1.55v.
