ok so with a quad i can get max speed so far of 3.95ghz im running 3.9ghz stable no issues and at 4.0ghz can't post at all
this is all with the 907 bios and i have been tryign a little here and there and if you look at my setup cpu temp no issue due to being about -27c and NB temp is around 20c under load so its ether this cpu's limit or the bios needs a update or major tweeking.

3.95GHz is a super OC.

If it is a BIOS wall, you probably won't have to wait too much longer until the next one is released. ASUS has been releasing them at a pritty good clip.

I say relax and enjoy your 3.9 for a while, until the next one comes along.

By the way, what GHz is 444x8.5? Is it 3.77GHz? I want to fix weescott's CPU entry on the NB listing.

Does anybody know what the NB voltage is set to on the 'green setting'? DerekFSE cound not tell how to get that info at the time of his post.
I would like to fix that entry too. I am sure it was set to whatever it defaults to. He never changed it.

Green on the NB is up to 1.5V iirc

to get to the 3.95ghz speed im using phase change and the other parts are all water cooled except the video due to its at rma.

Finally I got my NB backplate sorted, and I have now mounted all my blocks.
Gonna start testing for leaks tomorrow.



For some reason, the screws I got from EK with the SB block (same thumbscrews that came with the NB block) was a tight fit. But I think they are ok.

If that was for the listing, I don't know to find your NB temp, and am not sure if that was loaded or idle.
If you did have your NB stressing, fill this line out fror me and please repost.

ABC Member ----- NB volts -- NB Loaded ------------------- CPU --------------- NB Block
Malik ---------------- X.XXv ------ XX°C -- occt at 30min -- E6600 @ 3.3GHz ------ EK S-MAX Acetal

I would really like to get your loaded NB temp officially recorded.

A bit more tweaking got the CPU down to 65C and NB 39C at the same clocks. I know this CPU's good for more but it's going to take some more cooling. I was thinking the core temps were bad because of some problem with my loops, not sure now I've seen similar on a 3.25GHz E2160, might try putting an E2140 in to see how temps are on this CPU. at equivalent clocks.
