ok finally have some time. the hw64 did show some lower temps but not but a lot lower. I put on the heat sink , and it was the ac 7pro which is a 150 watt rated cooler, with some arctic silver had the temps down on the hi end 58 for gaming but still a little warm at idle 40-41. so for now it is...

turbo is not enabled, I disabled when I noticed the heat issue. Is my AC freezer pro 64 a better heat sink than the stock AMD?. I will put a load on it and see what hwinfo says the temps get to.

something odd appeared. all the cores except #3 were running @ 35-36. core#3 was running @ 43. could I have a bad core, or is the normal?

alright I will give that a go.

I have a new 8350 and the temps seem a little high. idle is 45-46 c it is in a TT Xaser v case. with the stock cooler. When I play the BF4 alpha it gets up above 65 and it has hit 68 according to the asus probs. The MOBO is a sabertooth gen3 r2. It is not OC'd. I have a AC freezer pro 64, would...

yeah my bad not saying it was engineering sample

engineering reference sample is a card ati is using to develop the retail version. it is not supposed to go out to the public. its their in house tester, usually there are a few versions of them some early some late. IE trying out different memory chips to see which manufactureers work best...

OK I bought an ATI 5830, and it turns out it is a refernce sample, truly if i had known it was an R.S. i wouldn't have gotten it. but stuck with it now, and knowing it is not a retail card, could I flash the bio's on this thing and possibly end up with a 5870 or 5850. Being an early test sample...

I used AMD Overdrive and it set me @ 500 core and I accidentally shut that test down early and 935 memory. I left the core @500 and backed the memory down to 900 and all is fine. what has anybody else got for results!

Yeah but downgrading the bio's on an ASUS board ain't that easy to do, Even in DOS with the AIDOS program. I saw a trick some where about getting AIDOS PRO and then you can down grade, that was the ONLY way I could find to go back to earlier Bios. Having tried to unlock a few chips, if it...

I used an Arctic cooling Freezer Pro, never tried the stock ones out, they don't look like they are all that great. but according to my temp monitors it really nevert got hot, BC2 on line for a couple hours and it's at 130 F

update!!!!! My 550 X2 non BE opened all 4 cores, It was unstable at first, but I undervolted and it is a lot more stable. Now comes the dilemma! I have got a 555 (3.2) BE that unlocks 3 cores and runs stable or I have this 550 (3.1) non BE that all 4 unlock and seems to run stable. Which is...

3 cores unlockable haven't oc yet, did incrimental voltage increases no help there, I still have my 550 x2 to try later, will let you know how that one does!
