man these CPUs are so hot

i was trying to make 4.4GHz CPU tests stable on SS last night and i managed a few runs but a lot of them were lockups

my evap temps go down from -44C to -38C or below when they manage to JUST scrape through

that's -44C after the 3D tests .......so in game (vantage) drop of almost 15% at with a CPU at 4.4GHz and 1.42v

that is just downright ing ridiculous beyond ridiculous

what the hell is going on here. Is Intel going back to those old Pentium nuclear plant reactors or something


i was planning to test 4870X2 in Crossfire but it turned out that one card was dead. I didnt even realise as i havent even tested the damn thing but it took me a bit to finally figure out what the hell was going on...at first i thought it was drivers lol

single card with 860/980 and CPU at just under 4.4GHz got just over 18.5K Vantage score. Not too shabby at all
