Hey dudes, anyways I tried clocking my cpu last night after I got my new cooler and case setup.
The x60 water cooler, while not built that well, is probably thee best cooler I've ever own.
Temps max at 43c tops, that's at 1.6v cpu voltage, that's as high as I went.
The prob is, the thing goes out of wack after about 1.4v, and it won't even try to boot my boot manager at 4.75ghz at all.
Here's the thing, +0.1v offset is right around the area I need to get 4.5ghz stable.
At +0.11v it's less stable even though the temps are fine.
Higher then that and it gets even less stable.
Lower, more stable.
I know this cpu can do the 4.5ghz easy.
Heck it looks like I can 4.75ghz or even 5ghz but from what i can tell the board is holding me back.
The chipset, nb temps are getting up to 47c, that's high I know.
I'm gonna have to add a fan over top of that thing directly.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Because my temps seem great to me, then cpu wants to play but there's something just holding it back.
I plan on buying a new intel probably at the end of the year, I'm waiting to see if there's gonna be any new cpu's and boards.
But for now, I'de to clock this setup as far as she goes.
Cpu-nb limits for me at 3ghz.
Mem limits at 2128mhz, this is stable, but I can't increase the cpu-nb higher to match it all.
Then there's the cpu, which is flaking out at the 4.5ghz, which there seems to be something wrong with the voltage regulation or the bios maybe.
I really don't wanna buy a $200-300 board just to get the clocks up on this cpu and mem, only to find out that it's still slower anyways because of the newer bios'es for the fx chips (that would be my luck...).
