I never noticed that before, thank you.

I would be more worried about blowing your board up do to the TDP over draw

Wow.I'm impressed
a good daddy you are how old are them?

Dems be 2-4-6-8. And it's all I do. I could be working, or whatever, but then it'd be someone else raising them. My own parents were losers, so I give my kids everything I didn't get. Between posting here, and my kids, that's all I do, and basically have done, for the past 9 years. I won't ever let them down.

BTW any of you guys ran PII above 62? I got mine around 67 for around 15 minutes but it didn't shut down..instead I shut it down manually - got scared

That's why I started this thread. Mine was hitting 66 on the stock cooler. It was a long struggle to get a decent overclock, too. As it is, i'm only running 4oomhz over stock.

Depends on the board.

Not to be a thread necromancer but I found the information the OP has collected very useful

955 C3 @ 3.8 GHz
1.40v
Cooler Master V8
56C top under linpack

I thought my temps were not that great, but I see it's about average now for higher end air coolers at comparable clock speeds and voltage.

actually not to brag i get way better temps at 3.8ghz 1.36250v 48 to 51 full load

Updated.

figured i'd throw in a post since the thread necromancers are hard at work, i too have been concerned, but my fears and the like are being removed by the thought of the overclock i'm using the temps don't seem half bad

current setup is
pII 1090t @ 4.30Ghz 1.51v
crosshair IV
nb at 3024 @ 1.30v

idle temps 28-30 in 20c room
load 48-54 in 20c room..

to be honest it's a rediculous overclock on water wich is a swiftec 360mm rad 6 fans push pull, mcp655 pump and d-tek fuzion v2.0 lapped cpu and hs. this chip actually started running cooler after a few runs under ln2 which is bizzar lol.

thanks Dude!

Hi guys, quick Q:

This is my first attempt at any significant overclocking. I've got a 965 running at 3815Mhz @ either 1.375 volts (my BIOS setting) or 1.36 volts (what everest and cpu-z say), via setting the multiplier at 19x. 24h stable, 40C idle, 50C under full load, no hiccups or errors.

I've tried raising the multiplier to 19.5, windows boots fine, and all seems well until running prime95, then BSOD. Tried raising voltage another .075 to 1.4 (my bios goes in .025 steps), same results. Still idles 41-42, can browse, etc., but even starting to test crashes it.

Have I hit the wall?

 

[cadaveca]

Maybe. but even 1.4v is a bit low, I think. Try more volts...

 

[wabbitslayer]

Thanks, will try tomorrow nite, time for bed anyway

I can't quite remember for stock volts though core is 1.4 on my 955BE. I know the core temp is between 45C and 50C. This is with a Noctua NH-D14 with room ambient 24C.

I do know I can run 3800 on the core with that 1.4v and 2800 cpu-nb with the same 1.4v (if running 2x2gb 1600mhz ram) with just a straight multiplier jump. Temperatures hover between 50C and 51C, never over after hours of P95 at those volts.

I think the key to running cool in that situation is that the D14 is really cramped in a CM 590. Especially with two 140mm top fans. I messed with my temperature probe last night that is on my DMM. Even though the Noctua sits in a closed case with 4 dimms running 1.7v and a 4650 the intake temp for the 120mm was room ambient. It might have climbed 1C but nothing more.

Putting my 5770 in there doesn't change things either.

edit: Forgot to mention idle is 32C to 34C. That is doing nothing on the desktop. 36C is normal for browsing. This chip overtakes my Vendetta 2 even with a CM R4 on it at stock volts. 55C+ is normal running P95 at stock volts. I've tried my 3000 rpm Kaza from time to time but I just can't put up with the noise and it doesn't really help but maybe 5C at peak. All temps I've mentioned are core as it is always 1C to 2C within socket temp.

I hit 43c under full load.

1090T 3.9Ghz @ 1.47v

 

[Zen_]

I managed to knock off 4C (from 56C to 52C) by lapping my heatsink and playing with loadline calibration for a lower and more stable voltage.




X4 955 @ 3.8 GHz 1.38v
Cooler Master V8 (lapped)

Would prob be lower yet if it wasn't so hot, ambient temp 23.5C.

 

[cadaveca]

Changed your listing.

I gotta add the cpus I've gone through in the past couple of weeks, too.
