Waiting... for an RMA# from DFI... Sucks having this 3700+ sitting around, but nothing to put it in.

Yeah, I got WC. And I'm very voltage-happy, unlike (cf)Eclipse/ozzimark.Quote:

omg - are the 3 ghz not that magic anymore???
soooo nice oc!
is this the cpu you guys are talking about here?
The Egg
I would like to buy this one here but if the one you guys are using then ima get me one of those.
This one has 1m cache and all that but labaled claw DTR, sry if noob question but im new to all this a64 stuffs and Rabbi from DFI Street sent me here to try and pick one of these cpu's up for the new rig im building.
Also what cooler should I use if I get this chip, I wanna be able to hit 2.7-2.8 or maybe even 3+ if possible with my speed premiums if at all possible, the fsb is all i know so far so this HTT is gonna be new to me also :)
This is a learning process for me and this is my first of many posts here
no that isnt it. I dont think any retail chain sells them yet :confused: For cooling a xp90c will be best :)Quote:

thnx btw
U have a good link to get a 90c cheap the egg has em for 66 bux man thats insane i saw someone before had em 3999 now thats more like it.
iirc, they are $45 at svc. If you dont care about 2 degrees, then get a xp90 for $25.Quote:

Still waiting for this DFI RMA to get moving.
I'm about ready to buy that Soltek board. At this rate, it'll be here before I have a chance to ship this DFI out....
I don't know about exact temp differences, but I've used both the XP-90 and XP-90C, and where the XP-90 gave me "CPU variation error" at 2800mhz (assuming it didn't crash outright), the XP-90C is squeezing out 2840-2850mhz depending on ambient ;)Quote:

i think hipro posted an article once how different termal grease changes its effectiveness after some time...
:( I'm curious what your chip does. #91 and #92 did about the same.Quote:

Let us all have a moment of silence....... :D
I'm also anxious to see how it will do, which makes waiting suck 10x more. :(
P.S. Did you see my post on PCPerpective about the XP-90?
I've got everything. My X850 XTPE was DOA, so I shipped that back to Newegg today for a replacement. My plan was to voltmod the card and experiment a little bit with settings before I publish my thread. If I run out of patience, I just might start overclocking this weekend with a crappy AGP card. ;)
Keep those prayers and chants coming. :D
I don't have time to install it yet. If nobody takes it from you then you can count on me. I really wanted the copper version mainly because of the way it looks though. :DQuote:

Conrad, sorry about your X850 XTPE. My prayers will be with you. :D
im interested in hearing about this chip/price if i could speak with ya by aol please let me know thanx aim name leo5222
The XP-90C and XP-90 mount the same way, with their spring clips, so there was no variation there. Both had fresh applications of AS5. The reason the XP-90C won out was b/c it could cope with the volts better ;)Quote:

:up:
thats why....Quote:

You havent told us that it was also 0,05V higher...
BTW of coolers: There is great boom on Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 (or 4 and 7). It is a very powerful cooler and even disipates heat someway better than XP-90 and cost below 20$ :banana:
deleted
do u think the freezer will cool better than a 90c and a 92mm tornado?
Im in the checkout lane now and also about to make a but from vandi also
Let me know before i buy plz
so far im at about 1200 dollars so the additional 20 bux isnt really that big of a deal, but the temps are what im after
i want low at 3ghz :P
nvm now im waiting on vandi to pm me with info so i can be newest one to order me a 3700 also :)
