Yeah, CoreTemp is an odd one, or at least the on-die sensors are. For me, what was the hotter core by quite a bit, became the cooler core once I poped the IHS (bad contact obviously) It's now 5-6 deg cooler than core 2 at idle, but they get closer together under load... and the cooler is the one that always fails..

I'm seriously considering going naked... gasp.

No pictures please... ;P

[likewhoa]

don't consider just do it, your cpu will thank you,.. oh btw only do it if you're on water, not worth it on air really.

Remove it !

 

No no, no porn for me

Still worth it on air. My old 3700 lost like 8 degrees, and gained 50+ Mhz under a Sonic Tower... It's just a whole lot scarier fitting the cooler..

 

 

oooh, you added purdy rig pics pics to the GGG's TFK.

 

Here's mine for the moment, to be moved to a Lian Li v2000b next week. (please excuse the ghey blue fans)

 

On another note, I've got a 2x512 set of UTT-Bh5 on it's way to me, so we'll see how my 3200/3140 PI 1M/32M runs go with plenty of volts through the stuff:)

 

(Did a trade + Cash for my 2x1gb crappy Mushkin kit, which it looks like I may be replacing with a DFI Expert proven 280+ set of 2Gb Corsair)

 

Anyways, I'm off on holiday for a week with no net, and when I get home I'll have a nice new case an some RAM waiting to be played with.

Well shes priming now @3112 1.695 vid I dunno if it'll pass or not tried awhile [email protected] vid failed. Well see if it werks or not. If it don't I guess I'll need a diffrent processor. At anyrate 3.0ghz fails @1.66 so I have doubts But maybe I found a sweet spot. I guess well see. Maybe I should have rented a costume built a fire and invited poeple over.(Or is that for a cmos clear?) Oh well......

[cuoficr]

Sometime here I'll hook the vapo back up, running on the stock (yes stock) bog standard AMD HSF at 2.7ghz lol

[Clay]

Well it failed @ 6hrs39mins. I restarted it but I probably shoulda' dropped the fsb a notch. Not much hope.

 

Edit: If-when it fail's this time I may try a diffrent bios. It's kinda' a long shot and the bios I'm currently using is about the best for my rig set-up combo. But I need better adjustibility on the vid.(Need smaller notchs)

 

Any suggestions? Anyone?

You could try the 04/06/06 Clay although i'm not to sure that it's got any more vid options than Tony's 07/04.

Thanks Kitfit: I'll try it.....It almost looks like I might have to try them all.(Like I did with the "Infinity").Tony took the special percent's over 113% out of all his bios that I've tried sofar. Too many new peeps cookin' processors. Maybe some old peeps too. Looks like an easy mistake a person could make. Anyway I set my A/C to coldest and locked the door.I'm hoping that'll make the diff for now. Temp's according to the board full load sez 34-36c.(Hope I don't kill it!!!)

04/06/06 official DFI bios, the same as i'm running. It's got the full works as far as vid options(yep, dead cpu's offered ). I think we're old enough and ugly enough to know when to stop(ar'nt we :eek:)
