It's dirty, it's ugly and I downclocked quite a few things but the important thing is it was done on air albeit cold air, it was done with all 4 cores and it was done with 1.55v
Temps were ballpark 25C at the core.

You are the man!
Nice clocks for air
Hi chew*,
You reach that speed from Bios or by software? Nice chip :up:
K10 stat, boot into windows at 3.0 1.55vcore.Quote:

They don't like heat as in 60C, and scale much better cold. This is just a guess, but a side effect of getting rid of the coldbug makes them less tolerant to heat. I personally will take a heat bug over cold bug anyday ;)Quote:

What about the internal Northbridge inside the processor?
How was it clocked??
Very impressive! I can barely get 3.8GHz out of mine, hoping it'll be a nice LN2 chip though.
They just don't like getting hot. They scale less with voltage and more with temperature. Whatever AMD changed in the manufacturing process, it made them clock about equal on air with Phenom + 200MHz but a hell of a lot of fun on sub-zero cooling.Quote:

Cold air helps alot, having a heatsink with some mass to it that can retain the cold air better helps as well, I did that on the OCZ vindicator, I now have a true with quite a bit more weight to it.
A TRUE copper would more than likely hold the max air cpu-z throne with some cold air over anything out there due to its mass.
Increasing voltage just ticks them off and adds more heat, there is a fine line between voltage/ temps.
That's what I don't understand 'cause the impact on performance isn't that little, although depending on the application.Quote:

:eek::shocked:
I'd be curious to see that guys setup, 4.7 is a little suspect. 4.5 is probably doable, 4.7 maybe if you covered the board and heatsink in DI or poured ln2 on it or was testing on MT everest. got a link?
Actually that is Dumo from NY city lol........he's on phase ;) was at my house saturday
thats why there are other benchmarks that measure performance.......Quote:

You've beat me on that one :)
I can try 1 Core 4.5GHz if it get cold enough outside, but 4 cores 4.3GHz for my chip would be awesome!!
You have a gem! You need to sent flowers to Simon ;)
I can agree 4.5GHz is doable, anything above is possible on AIR only if you live in Siberia! :p:
This is the "runt" of the litter ;) I need to send a kidney at the very least :eek:Quote:

But its still a very great chip.
Hmmm yah well I figured the board I'm on and an OCZ vindicator with a bench setup in a room and not hanging out a window makes it break even, however I will give the m4a79 deluxe a run with the 940BE already booted it up on stock cooler at 4.0 with only 1.475V, IIRC I needed 1.55v on the gigabyte ;) also the gigabyte refused to boot over 1.6v ;)Quote:

LASTVIKING:hm, maybe its true :-).
But 4.4GHz on AIR is ofc impressive overclock :-). Im waiting on x4 945 and il try in classic case get 4GHz with air cooler (and ASUS M4A79 Deluxe).
Its looks like the Asus board have much greater pwm than the Dfi and Gigabyte board, the dfi board also have some trouble over 1.55v-> maybe its the cpu but i think its more the board after your info.Quote:

http://www.hwbot.org/compare.do?resultId=816903
And Wprime 4GHz
http://www.hwbot.org/compare.do?resultId=817230
All Air, Wprime go more..but that was "race" stat..
Tomorror if it goes ~4.2Ghz ?
Ps. Can i change my nick here ?
Awesome Man
Gigabyte rulzzz
nice score man on air:shocked:
Validations are great, they are even better with video proof....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1G2wr...e=channel_page
Managed to get a little more out of it and a legit validation

Nice job on GB guys :clap:
very nice overclock; congratulation
