I've seen everyone getting crazy results with the 1700+ at near stock voltage... Mine needed 1.65v to get to 2000mhz, and all the way to 1.90v to get to 2167.
I'm kinda mad at it now, so I decided to brute force it. Got it running at 2333 at 2.05v, and 2400 at 2.15v.
So anyways, who wants to take bets on how long it'll last?
Prime crashes after an hour at 2410 mhz, so I'm trying again at 2394 mhz. If it's stable here, then to heck with it, lets see if she lives all summer.
What struck me as weird was I'd seen all those posts about how after a certain point, adding more voltage made no difference, or even made things worse. For this CPU, adding lots of voltage was the only way to get results.
Weird.
