Using stock 9600 BE cooling.




Ambient is too hot and until I get a 3rd party fan on it, I'm not comfortable. My room ambient is 29C.

This ones better, much better, although stock is 1.24V.

2.7GHz bootup first time 1.392V BIOS 1.408V Windows 1.25VID 200HT 14x multi. Boots 1.28V to although not stable running benchmarks as >1.325V is.



Running this right now having thrown my ambients sub16C with a 152CFM delta fan as well, bootup was before all this, and hasn't failed inside 20mins P95 yet (drop is 1.312V).



2.8GHz booted using just multi but froze on ss. Will need more volts/cooling maybe. 2.7GHz looks to be within 24/7 stability reach.

There goes the stepping/batch/week coding dogma straight out of the window.
