    3500 aint happening on air unless you have aircon hanging over your rig and you have a B7 IMC

    No harm in pushing an OC tho, so keep going!

    On the DFI board, HT voltage to 1.4V helped me a lot

    can I say I love you?
    I hope it's still for sale when I get back though.



    Anyways
    I am about 90% sure I can make 3.4GHz on air, and then about 60% sure I can make 3.5GHz.
    I also have a pin mod for 1.55v which goes to 1.6 usually.
    so
    with 1.6v, some decent ram and the ultra-d board I should be able to make it, when I get home from vacation I will have some nice air cooling going on.

    Maybe with your window open on a -10C night. You are already at ~1.45v for 3.04GHz.. 1.55 will bring you to about 3.14, 1.6v to 3.19 at best. I'll eat my shoe if you get to 3.5 semi-stable :p

    Yeah, considering the time of year and being in Florida (and a E6 stepping), seems like Squidmaster might do well to use water cooling and revise the 3.5 goal to 3.2.
    Interesting thread nonetheless.....
