965 BE at 4Ghz.



Only issue is that it runs a far bit hotter than my previous CPU. I reseated the cooler thrice, but got only a nominal improvement. My thinking is that the readings are a bit off, as the high temps correspond with my previous experiences, but the idle temps are about 10 degrees off my old idle temps. SO am not so sure about that. Also the NB does not run too high, but I am still to try out some stuff.

The CPU does 3.4 Ghz at 1.3 and am on prime now to kind of make sure its stable. Prime has been running small fft's for about an hour now, with no issues.

Can anybody give me some ideas on the temps...running 38 degress on idle and 49 degrees on load at stock. vcore = 1.3v. Ambient is around 24-25 degrees. Earlier with my 720be unlocked at 1.325vcore and 3 ghz I used to idle at 3-4 degrees above ambient.

NB...I dont know, not able to get my ram running at 1600 yet, it will load into windows and then crash. SO am back to 1333. I think the CPU NB is a bit weak on this chip.
