Average OC that u can expect from a 3.2c? I just hit 3.8 on air!

Probably not too much with air cooling. Using peltiers, water, etc, you might get the 4Ghz+ that some users have gotten, but those solutions are expensive.
 
Just set it to 4ghz and see what it does. Up the voltage to 1.8v if you have to. After all, you can always RMA it if it frys, right Vonkhan?

NEVARRRR! It's only been like 2 days. Give me a week, I'll forget. His current system of ignoring me is very effective, that way I don't bookmark threads and go back to fight about it. I really have a short attention sp

Why can I not find a definition for RMA? God Im such a noob. 😀
 
Nebor, u're an idiot ... someone should RMA u to the maker with a note "Brain was DOA"


Back on topic:

I was using a silent but wimpy Zalman 7000AlCu and I got my 3.2c upto 3.6

Plugged in a Thermaltake Slk-947 w/ a tornado (yeh, bleeding ears) and now its happy at 3.72

Considering a Swiftech kit, but I dont wanna spend close to $200 retail (or $120 off the FS/T forum) if I cant get it any higher 😕
 
tomyhill598, RMA = Return Merchandise Authorization

Y'kno ... drunks and sailors supposedly have their own saints watching over them ... RMA stuff has St. Nebor

Nebor, you are what is technically known as a pen|s. Only slag him for RMA'ing a god-damn CPU if you live your life in a perfect, pure, never-do ANYTHING-wrong way. If not, keep your mouth shut, you're extremely irritating.:beer:

3.0v DIMM is abuse by any standard, since that particular memory is rated for 2.6v.

I agree with Nebor, if you fry your memory at 3.0V and try to return it you're a jackass. You do realize that the replacement cost of your RAM actually costs money.
 
Reduced the vDimm to 2.9 and vCore to 1.65 (altho 1.675 is still ok, as long as u dont 1.7 or higher)

so far, so good ...
 
Vonkhan, i have an IS7 flashed to the newest bios with Abits windows based utiltiy. mine only goes up to 2.9V in the bios for the vdimm but my Geil supports up to 3.1V. is there anyway i can access higher vdimm in the bios???

Are those your actual voltages or just what you set in the BIOS? Because 1.675 actual is definately high for a "C", but if it's actually running it at 1.6 or 1.62V that is fine.
 
There's a hard volt mod that I read about quite a while ago ... but that'd require mad skills w/ micro-soldering, I'd guess

I love this MAX3 🙂 worth every penny!
