Okay, so that fits perfectly to my temps:



I´m not so shure about the real cpu voltage - whom can we trust? :)


EDIT:


Lowered the voltage -0.100V = not always stabile @3616 MHz (sometimes mini freezes <250ms appear)
Lowered the voltage -0.075V = absolute stabile @3616 MHz


Continuous CPU temp after 24 minutes Everest Stress Test: 43°C (108°F)

I got to 3.8ghz, 1m Pi stable with stock volts. I went to 200x20 with voltage bumped first to 1.4, then 1.425 with no boot. I think 3.8 is the highest I'm going to get. Anyone have tips?

I haven't really done that much with it, but I like it so far. Only 3 fan headers on the entire board. Not sure what Asus was thinking there.

I tried starting up at 3.8 again and windows crashed. Back to stock now. :)

I care about the energy efficiency of any such device like a CPU, car engine, brain etc.
In my philosiphy, that´s directly linked to what I see as intelligence.

Heat means nothing else but lost energy as long as you don´t want produce heat for comfort purposes.

Alright so I'm here updating because I finally have my setup almost complete. I am just waiting on my hard drives so I can RAID 1 them, then the overclocking begins. I am liking what I am seeing so far from this proc though... my Noctua U12P is keeping it ~33 idle. So we will see how far I can get it :D
