heheh thanks guys! Yup a ton of hours and when i was done i didnt know what to do with myself cause i was so used to working on it.. It was very weird!
Temps are gona be touch to judge as everything is highly juiced.. but the PWM system temps are around 35c idle and tops around 44c on load.. Those temps could be much better but DFI had to put the damn ATX port right next to the damn PWM heatsinks so ofcourse the MASSIVE ATX connector blocks air from hitting them.. I might make some kind of clear plexy shoud around that area to force the air to go around the ATX connector and cool the heatsinks.. But its not much of a prob right now as its not gettin really hot to warrent the fix.
The cpu is getting 1.6v to get 2970Mhz dual prime stable and 30C idle and 38c load... Embarrising enough this chip dont want no dual 3Gigs!! Can you believe an FX-60 that wont do 3 gigs dual prime stable?? I cant.. and messing with the water block seating i've noticed some strange crap.. So my only idea is that the damn heatspreader cant be touching the core very well at all. Core 1 seems to love 3 gigs no matter the voltage and core 0 is a voltage pig.. I know if i reseat the block again i can get the temps back down to 28-29c idle where it was when i first started out. I'd love to send this CPU back to AMD in a heart beat! I know the stepping and week is great as others have done over 3 gigs with it.
The evga 7800GTX SLI setup is runing damn cool.. Idling at 32C at 1.7v 625/1500 and 43-44 Load.
Chipset is at a lowly 36C with the retail crappy heatsink! hehe.
This is all with the large fan at Medium speed.
Room temps show 78F..
