Thanks for those clarifications on the temps guys. Looks like my 720be just ran cold, or the temp sensor was borked on that one, I guess. My temps seem to be in line with what has been posted by Titan. Around ambient +6-8 degrees at idle and similar to your numbers at load. Thanks again.
BTW would +6-8 degrees at idle over ambient good enuf?

I actually posted a thread for people to list their 3.9 to 4ghz settings and hardly anyone posted their info in it........It turned into more talking and less results.

ermmmm that's my old c2 not the c3. and yeah she is hot but i had to reformat and cant find that babe that likes to look at my cpu-z screens
just did that on 1.425 VID and 1.475vcore that ram timmings sucked big time tho it just wasn't having it even with stock nb speeds.
the c3 i linked is sitting pretty at 4.05 and 830mhz on the ram 7-6-6-24-1t right now with high nb clocks aswell not much of an improvement but for benching its immense

why there is no 720BE?
is the 720BE easily hit 3.8GHz?
I tried to get it stable at 3.5GHz even at 1.485V, using Asus M4A785D-M PRO and Team Elite DDR2-800 RAM...

1) Normal ES: Available to partners and press before the product actually launches. These are usually close to retail parts, maybe one stepping/node before retails. From my experience (I've had access to AMD & Intel ES CPUs before the official launch around 8 years) normal ES CPUs are actually usually worse than retails because manufacturing process develops all the time and retails keep getting better. Every Phenom II press sample (not even marked as ES but couple weeks earlier than retail parts) I've tested so far have been worse than normal retails.

mileage of some earlier batch of phenom 2 (0904) are not as good as later batch like 0922. never a fans of non deluxe boards of asus, their premium boards however are impressive, minus the price tag of course.
