2.7 @ 1.50 + 110%

[TypeVR6]

Well I finally managed to pull off 2.7, only thing is with dual prime running my temps are at 60!! I'm assuming this is due to DUAL prime? Do you guys think this is safe for 24/7 or should I just lower it to what my sig has? It's prime stable so far - super pi as well.

60 is too much. 50 is a better goal, 55 tops. I would be surprised if that was stable on a warm day. And 1.65v is as high as you would want to go on volts anyway.

 

60 won't damage your chip (you might just crash a lot), but that voltage is borderline.

 

I aim for low 40's so that on hot days when my room gets to 27-32C I have some headroom.

 

So either think about lowering the volts and the clock, or improving the cooling. My recent fiddling with ducts and stuff has shown me that I can lower temps about 10 degrees with just ducts, fans and careful layout testing. Watercooling is too much hassle for me.

 

What are your room ambient temps?

 

If you have the time I would love a comparison of what your dual prime load temps at 20+ mins are for about 2684MHz @ 1.450v + 110%.

IMO, you need to get that Vcore under 1.60V & that CPU temp under 50C, even at dual prime. :nod:

I use 1,425+104% @ 300x9 and at dual prime my temp is never above 40°C

60°C is to much....I wouldn´t go above 50°C

My x2 can't handle anything more than 2.63 @ 1.475 + auto [0]. I also got an error with my 270 @ 1.50 + 110%, so I had to lower it down to 265 with the same settings. I ran dual Prime 95 for 6 hours and 5 minutes with 0 errors or warnings. Temps were at max 61 load [with both running] and is currently at 37-39 idle. Kinda hot here as the heat has been turned on in the building, as for ambient - I couldnt' tell yah at the moment. Im sure however, if was to game for a bit, it wouldn't go as high as it did with dual prime, or am I wrong with this assumption? As for cooling, that may be my alternative. I have the HSF in my sig, plus 3 80mm fans [1 intake/ front, 2 exhaust/ rear]. Maybe I should invest in better fans and a 4th for the side. I clean it often, dust etc... But i suppose you're right, for a .2ghz increase, its not worth it

K thanks guys - appreciate the input, I'll lower my settings

Depends on the game, but until they are using both cores, then no, they won't be close to a dual prime session! But try it and see - use systool or MBM5 to log your temps.

 

But you did well tho, be happy!
