Jolly jumper, what voltages do yours do 2.7GHz at?

**jolly jumper** · 03-30-2006, 07:59 AM

1,45 on both cpus.

What do you recommend

If you are going SLI, I recommend the A8N32. If you dont ever plan on running two vidcards, get the Sapphire Grouper board (the white one).

Anyone seen this before?

That serial number is missing one digit after 5. If it's 50001, then it's batch # 1 and I can only imagine what that would do

You should've got one when they were cheap and plentiful!

anyone got a comparison of a CCBWE 0609 FPAW and the CCB1E of the same week stepping?

CCB1E 0550 VPMW realy good stepping.. default vcore > 2.75-2.8ghz

I havn't seen any CCB1E's in the 0609 flavor, only 0608.

i had 4 of them. trust me, they exist. I've also got CCBWE 0609 FPAWs that i'm trying to see if anyone has them and if so, if they've been overclocked.

Well send me a review sample, I'll let ya know how it compares.

Just grabbed a new 170 from monarch, turns out the MP-05 doesn't work with naked CPU's on DFI boards :/ (socket gets in the way)

Shoot me a PM if you want mine

looks like it will work fine on a naked chip.....

similar to storm block....

besides if it does not work get a storm block....

**Repoman** · 03-30-2006, 05:40 PM

Yeah it was my fault, my tubing actually puts upward pressure on the CPU block, I put 6 layers of electrical tape on the part of the socket that sticks out and it's OK now. I will still be selling this one though, hopefully the 170 I get from Monarch is good..

And it still hits 35-37C load at 1.4v, what are you other 0550vpmw watercoolers getting? (or air cooled for that matter)

**Grinch** · 03-30-2006, 06:01 PM

I am @ 1.525V in bios 300x10 idle 28-30C load 37-39C

**kberguy1** · 03-30-2006, 07:16 PM

The Enermax Liberty 620 W PSU failed in my system again. This time it also ruined my DFI Expert Motherboard and both hard drives. Fortunately, dealer is covering everything under warranty.

Because the dealer is out of stock on DFI right now, I have decided to try the new MSI K8N Diamond+ motherboard. This will be backed by an OCZ 600W Powerstrem PSU, as I will never buy anything from Enermax again

My Maxtor Diamond Max 10 250 GB hard drives will be replaced with new Seagate 7200.9 300 MB units with 16 MB of cache each.

Stay tuned over the next week as I put the new setup through its paces.

sorry to hear man...but glad you will be back on feet soon!

**alpha0ne** · 03-30-2006, 10:05 PM

Very glad to hear kberguy1 that your murdered h/ware is being replaced

If I owned an Enermax Liberty 620 W PSU I would be a very worried man ATM

**kenofstephen** · 03-30-2006, 10:54 PM

there must be some ways to unlock the multiplier

**krylon** · 03-30-2006, 11:11 PM

I'm really needing a chip that does 3.0 on air. I would like to trade my current 0551 CCBWE UMPW 170 + cash if possible. Does 2.7 dual prime stable with 1.5V in bios.

I'm using a Liberty 620 too... What happened?

**Ic3man** · 03-31-2006, 12:54 AM

Yeah me too, I really dont want to put the Hiper-r back in but if enermax are killing components then I will. Tell us more plz.

**Ic3man** · 03-31-2006, 12:59 AM

Need a little advice.

I ruined my last opty (165 spmw) by popping the lid. I am now fed up with the temps my 170 0550 UPMW is pumping out (load = 53c @ 1.45 - 280x10) which is stopping me from going any higher. I know these chips run hot but as anyone had any decent temp drops with the UPMW's by going naked on air? If I can get temps back down enough for a few more volts this chip may go to 2.9..even 3 gig. If all removing the IHS is gonna do is lower temps then I wont risk it again but if I can get past 2.9 then would do it.

Opinions plz

Specs in my sig. Temp drops around 4-5c both idle and load, with same voltage+speed. Really helped, as those UPMW seem to like ~45c. you could try to lower the voltage to 1.425 or even 1.4 to see if you can reach 280x10 too. If that's possible, the voltage drop and IHS removal would end in: 45c @ 1.4 - 280x10. By what you're saying I think 2.9 will be really hard. The most I've read is 6c drop. I'm not saying it's impossible. Good luck!

BTW navigate the thread and buy the "official XS IHS removing tool"

I used that and absolutely NO problems

Quoted to show him "the tool".

Sadly there are no Sherwin Willams or Ace's anywhere near here, so I can't get that tool.

I'm gonna look for it, though.

there are very, very few dual cores that are doing 3.0 on regular air. the heat load these things put off makes it almost impossible to do. If you have a very cold room, open case, lots of fans, and a very good cpu cooler, you might get there if you have a super golden sample cpu. 1 out of 20,000 or something.

Not saying it can't happen, but 2.9 on air or 3.0 on good water is probably alot more reachable if you get a very good chip!

Thanks for the heads up!

I do have a good watercooling setup, so I guess I should say I'm looking for a chip that does 2.9 on air or 3.0 under water
