I got this CPU, 1075T NON BE, from family who did not know how to update the BIOS on their ASUS M4A79T Deluxe to run it. He has a 955 BE @ 4.0 GHZ that I had set up for him in it currently. So this CPU sat around for almost two years before anyone finally got to use it. I tossed it in my Gigabyte UD7 and it clocked right up without any real effort at all. Just bump up NB and CPU VID and bang 4.2 @ 280x15 and that is not the end of it. I will say the heat this thing puts out is incredible. At an ambient outside temp of 50f with the house heat off the room this thing is in gets uncomfortably hot. My case/system is a little ridiculous. Its a very old server case from a Data General Unix Machine (AVIion Model Days if anyone is familiar). I do motorcycle (sportbike) body for living so I modified the case to handle modern parts. I has 4 3-Fan (220MM? I think) Swift Tech Radiators with 6 80MM (Approx) old school Delta 36 Volt Monster fans. These fans are very thick and are loud as hell and crazy at 18Vs. They can be run anywhere from 18-36V.. I could fly a frikkin kite at 18v.. I think that 36V would blow the system over (Which probably weighs closer to 80lbs with 7 HDDs) The setup can run passively with no fans but when I do that the CPU Temp creeps up into the high 40s low 50s. If I turn all 6 fans on (They have their own PSU) then it will knock the CPU temp down from 55c to 25c (Usually landing at 1C above the mobo thermistor) in less than 3-4 minutes. Prior to this CPU the H20 system was just overkill and still is but at least I can see it doing something now. It served no purpose as the CPU I used to have (955 BE) would not ever see temps above 37c with no fans running. At least now with this setup the 1075T makes good use the ability this H20 system has. Its been so long since I put it together I don't recall all the names of the parts I used - I do remember really liking the CPU block for a "budget" block. Its the EnzoTech Saffire Series Extreme or something to that effect.. don't recall the exact name. Nice look square blue/copper/steel locking block... At the time I had used many of the blocks out their (Swiftech, Koolance etc) and this one in particular was really good.
Anyway, check out the screenie - I didn't go nuts on stability testing... I ran OCCT for a couple of hours along with LinPack. It was fine with that. This system doubles as gaming machine and server until I get the actual Linux server built. I am always running two Linux CentOS virtual machines that server a couple of web and email domains. This keeps my system loaded a good bit so just running for a few days is a good test. If I game those VMs stay up so the system gets hammered pretty good. So far no crashes. People think I'm nuts for running OC'd servers but what the hell, it is my personal machine as well and this way the OC actually pays for itself. If they aren't stable I throttle them back. So far this has been up 24/7 for about a month... no reboots or blue screens and its been through benching the new cpu, 3DMark 05/06/Vantage, Occt, Stalker, Crysis 3.... a couple other games.. you get the idea.
In the screen shot you'll see the two CentOS VM running sucking up crazy memory. CPU load shown is a bit on the low side compared to average (12% or so)..
I am assuming this is a pretty good clock for these - especially a non BE - But I wanted to see what other folks thought..
