let me know how that works out.. frys has several of these in stock and i really wanted to try one out..

as for the 1.55v I thought the T was volts hungry.. where do you recommend starting out? 1.45?

[ju1ce]

I dropped it in my machine and ran it for a few minutes and it definately runs hotter than my toledo (0535 tpmw - n) .. ~30c at stock.. I ran the maxtcase util and it only gave me a MCT of 67c .. is this bad? I was seeing a lot of people getting 71-73.. the 0535 was ~57c seems pretty low..

There's a 48 hour return period for this 0601.. think i should hold onto it and get it under water next week or take it back and grab the 0602 xpmw or 0605xpmw?

btw.. batch is 950 on the 0601.. how bad is that?

@ju1ce

My first 0607 had similar Tcase figures:

and look what that did. It's a hard choice, because the 0607 SPMW is also a great batch as Diamondback just discovered.

@Diamondback

Welcome to the forum and glad my mutterings have helped point you at a good one.

[ju1ce]

I appreciate the insight.. I think i have 2 items on my agenda..

1) pick up one of the frys bundles with the 0607 smpw before they're gone @ 280..

2) get into a decent water setup asap to see how well these really perform..

I figure I can work with both of them as you suggested and unload the one that doesnt suit my needs.. im sure under phase that 0601 will be a monster.. its a good time to be buying x2's.. i guess you can't really go wrong with whatever you choose seeing as it outperforms spec..

I'm still wondering why my toledo was such a dog under air..

had to bump her to 1.502v which raised her temps to 29C idle 38C load

mem testing now

ya.. those 0607spmw's are monsters.. definately need to go grab one.. I am going to order my WC setup today.. any recommendations on parts? I've been reading the wc forum on here and there are so many options.. tough to decide whats really the best route to take.. I had wanted to go with a single 120 rad inside my case (p180) in the front hd bay area but I don't know if i want the hot air recirculating through my case.. so i may go with a dual 120 off the back.. ideas?

can you guys post some specs on what you're running?
