Johnny, you must have a really nice chip there mate, that is excellent Vcore!!!Originally Posted by Jonny Manc
Hows the chip(s) doin blunt??
Finally got my H50, pushed my chip to 4ghz (lame I know, but I like low and no heat) with a vcore set to 1.15v in BIOS and down to 1.10-1.12 in Windows 7
Temps are a respectable 39'c (hottest core) idle and 65'c (hottest core) load
I've talked to a couple people on the OcUK forums who are using this H50's, and they really seem to be great pieces of kit.
If I wasn't going for custom water I would probably grab one myself, but I have got everything for my loop now except for my HK3, I should be getting that in the next couple of weeks hopefully, I can't wait!
I am currently using 1.275v in the BIOS, but my QPI is down to 1.215v, 4GHz stable.
Though my idle temps are 40c, and loads shoot up to 75c, got 2 fans on my TRUE now, and I am also using Arctic Cooling MX3 TIM, this stuff alone knocked 5c off my loads compared to AS5!!
Both of my chips are really nice compared to the last one I had, that's for sure, I am really happy with them now, everything has been spot on since I got these ones..
I tested them both on my rig, and kept the best one for myself, and gave the missus the other!!
@Bex, where about in Scotland are you located?
I've came across a couple of Scottish people on here now!
::edit::
Fosco, check those temps mate, no-way would I be letting my chip get up to those kinda temps!
I searched high and low online to try and source a Bloomfield Xeon W3520, but I couldn't find anywhere in the UK that had them, one site had them listed, but didn't have any stock, they still don't have stock as far as I am aware..
Seems people with these Xeons are getting much higher clocks than us 920 users, must be higher binned silicon that gets used for Xeon chips.
