Hi all!
I have a little problem. Me and my friend just bought a pair of duron 650s, abit kt7s and super orbs. We did the L1 thing on both of them and I actually managed to convince my friend that I am the one to get the fastest setup. My friend was the one who also bought a new case so we started out by putting everything in his case. So we got the first one stable @ 1030 @ 1.85. Temperature readings were max load 54 C and it idles at 36 C or so. He has a middle tower, 250W PSU.
Then I put the other setup in my old case, about the same size but a 235W PSU. I hardly get it stable @ 1000 @ 1.85. I did however not reinstall windoze as my friend did. Dunno if that matters. Anyway, it idles at 52 C and disappears beyond 60 C at full load. So I think that there is probably too little contact between the cooler and the chip so I press the cooler down. Tada the temperature sinks a little, full load stays at 56 C. I take the heatsink off and put some more grease on the thing, after cleaning the chip and cooler poperly. I get the same resutlt, high temp and won't go beyond 1G. So we swith mobo, chip and cooler. Not taking the cooler off. Then the strangest thing happens. My friend easily get what just was my rig to 1050 stable and almost 1060. And not very hot either, goes down to 36 C idle and 52 C at full load.
And the one he got stable and quite cool @ 1030 is HOT in my case.
so we switch back. Then I put in bent buttons made of metal (I don't know what the metal is called in english) between the clip thing that holds the cooler on the socket and the coolplate that presses against the chip. So I get it a little cooler, no problems w/ 60+ C. But still, it idles high as hell. I install rain. All of a sudden I get idle temps at 36 C!!!
But still it is not stable at 1050 in my case, which it was in my friends non-rain system.
I can take it to 1030 but it gets really hot w/ the case closed so I run it at 1G. There it is very stable. I took it through a LANparty, some 60 hours and no problems @ 1G and 1.775 Volts.
But why WHY WHY can I not get it to 1050 and WHY must I use rain to get it cool while idling? And why does my friend not have to use rain. We both use WinME btw.
HEEEELLLPPP!!!!
Thanks

... was that perhaps the p/s is causing the heat problems....There is no doubt that the p/s could cause stability problems since it cannot deliver as clean of a signal or as much juice as the 250, but what about this idea... IF your p/s is delivering less voltage...ie. cannot deliver the same change in potential as your friends, it must work harder, which will cause heat, but it will also need to push more current to get the same total amount of juice into the chip... I know its far fetched...but maybe
