Capt Proton Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 38 degrees at 1.6V with a dual core processor? If that is load, and measured with a reliable program such as Core Temp, then you are doing unbelievably well in the temp department. Any talk of pelt would be, in my opinion, a complete waste. If the temps you are reporting are actually the load, then temps are not your issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHKCommander959 Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 guess i was wrong. i always forget to check core temps... about a 10*C difference. :tooth: right now at 2.7 / stock volts i am pulling ~38 on low usage. i'll run some stress and edit this... watts is at ~75 using wPrime i got ~50*c both cores doing 32m. this core isn't bare, it still has the ihs, but i'm betting it'd help a bit? think im ight not have the stomach to do that.. So now we talk pelt or no..? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Proton Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 I was very nervous about removing my IHS. Once I started, I found that if you take it slow and cautious, it's not that bad. Search the met for pictures of your CPU with the IHS removed to see if there are any components close to the IHS, and, if there are, be especially careful. I used a Shick Injector refill. If you bend the guide up out of the way, and only push the blade out a little, it gives you a nice tool with some control over how far under the IHS the blade is cutting. The last act of faith is deciding that the IHS seal itself is complpetely severed, and the resistance is only the thermal paste between the IHS and the core, and giving it the last push it needs. I have read about newer Intel and possibly AMD CPUs with the IHS soldered onto the core. I do not remember reading anywhere that ant 939 CPUs have this problem. I did slice my thumb slightly 3 times! Well worth it for the temp drop, about 7-8 degrees in my case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHKCommander959 Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 yeah i figured as much. would that cause moisture problems though with below ambient cooling such as pelts/phase? I doubt it since the old k7 stuff had those exposed and people used it on them, but im just a worry-wort. i can still find this cpu for 100$ but that is pricey when your broke ..

kitfit1 Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 would that cause moisture problems though with below ambient cooling such as pelts/phase? No problem at all. Been running mine naked under phase for ages. The cpu has to be surrounded by Armourflex anyway, to stop condensation. Pelts and phase are out of the question though unless you have a CCBWE stepping cpu. All the other steppings are cold bugged. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHKCommander959 Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 dont the cold bugs generally start under 20C anyway? well i migth waste some money on a pelt, for the future anyways. next step is quad-core from intel or amd.. -------------------------- 2.8 ghz stable @ ~1.36-1.4v , both cores : idle ~38 temp, max ~50 ran it up to 2.9 but it didnt like starting up, but it did stably, and the cores differed by 3-6 degrees , 2nd core hotter, maybe a bad seat? either that or affinity...? had to give her under 1.5v Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHKCommander959 Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 k got it 3d stable at 2.905 with ihs still on it. took about 1.5v; cpu says 1.504 prime 55*C average, up to 60 but only for a moment and back to 55-58. 1 error on first 1024 prime test, 0 on second run. but my computer wasnt happy afterwards so i should go off with 'er head, so to speak? Meh i'll be nervous. least i can get a 3800 replacement for reasonable. but i've done my research, i just have to man up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitfit1 Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 dont the cold bugs generally start under 20C anyway? A cold bug can take a few different forms. It can be purely temp related, but more often than not it is purely HTT related. I have seen it take on a form where you can run in windows at a certain speed, but you cannot get into safe mode at the same speed.

RHKCommander959 Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 tried to pop the top, couldnt get it but my hands hurt- caught a cactus that was about to kill the new leather couch... got a bit of the black stuff that holds it down though- used an exacto-knife. how deep 1mm?

kitfit1 Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 how deep 1mm? No, you need to be about 5mm deep to cut through the black stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
