Man, my idle temps have gone up 5-6C since the weather's changed. It's been in the high 80's lately so my ambient temps have shot up. House hits 79-80F now, :(. Gonna have to start using the AC soon, getting too hot for comfort. Load temps are the same though, water FTW.

It's got my love.
Running 3,360mhz @ 1.375v
Not bad but 3,085mhz @ 0.975v is better. Will get screens of that soon.

:twitch: Is that actually stable?!?!? I need at least 1.184v to get the stock 2.8Ghz stable and I still run my rig at 2.8Ghz @ 1.216v every day just for that extra insurance. Maybe you mean on less than 4 cores then? I don't remember what voltage I could run dual core at 3Ghz.

Hurry!!! I need to know because that's insane!

Since i will have my Asus Triton 88 (yes, roflmao, ASUS ), Zalman Thermal grease and two fans after two days, i will look at what i can do with my budget gamer PC.
Mobo will not let do anything stupidly high thats for sure.

Yes with all 4 cores. Ran stable for a 4 hr run of occt then it bsod'd takes 1.0v to get stable at 3,080mhz

Got my cooler, atm nothing special, 3304, pushed voltage minimally, since i am total amateur. Memory at 2.0 v, default was 1.9, not realy good mem, will have to look what i can do.
Triton - 88 does its job, Prime95 cant get temps higher that 49-50.

I'm still rocking the 920. ASUS M4A78-E is coming in tomorrow. Hopefully I can get a couple hundred more MHz. Screenies to come.

Will do more testing this weekend. Haven't had time to do some real stability testing, just highest clock testing. So far, 276 is the highest this board wants to go... haven't been able to FULLY confirm that though. 3.86GHz is my highest bootable into windows. Only takes a dump when taxed, otherwise it chills at 3.86. Coming from 2.8Ghz, that is a hefty increase ablech. I really doubt 100% stability can be had at 3.8+ with a 920. The highest stable I can get is 3.65Ghz or so, sadly it requires a lot of juice to be 100% stable. I still run my rig at 3.5GHz (24/7 use) because the voltage increase required above that to attain 100% stability is just too high imo.

I'm using 1.46v for 3.5Ghz. I need to use that much for 100% stability. If it can't do OCCT and WPrime, it ain't stable imo.

nice. I haven't tried using the AMD OD utility for stability testing. I wonder if mine will pass at that same setting. What are your other settings and voltages dom?
