For those on strictly air trying to run with the big boys, you definitely need to use better thermal paste, be sure your mobo is not warped and that the mosfets are making good contact with the heatsink, peel of the cover plate on the NB (may void warranty, shouldn't ), then put a fan on it, preferably one that blows towards the mosfets too - if your cpu fan isn't the type that blows cool air to surrounding components.

Here is a quick run I did just did to show that 1.7v on the nb is possible with active cooling on the nb.

1.7v NB (ambient: 24c) - perhaps too high cpu volts but I wanted to run quick and dirty without bsod'ing. Booted right from bios at 8.5x545 No clockgening tricks or exotic cooling.

4.6Ghz @ 1.7v NB and cpu vcore @ 1.520v



4.63Ghz @ 1.7v NB and cpu vcore @ 1.568v



Everest shot showing PL @ 12, I could run 11, but like I said, quick and dirty.



Alrighty.

Alrighty.

wow very nice mate

i did my best bench thats on my sig at 1,78 NB air

Cheers

Thanks, Sergio. Yeah, as long as the chip is properly cooled, it can take some real voltage.
