I really need to switch out my 120mm fans (SilenX iXtrema Pro) on my Megahalems to something with more power, temps get entirely out of hand when benchmarking above 4.2ghz. I wish I had purchased the 38mm fan clips as well, I'd throw my old YS Tech fans on it just for benching and crank it up to 4.4-4.5GHz.

At 4.2 hottest core will hit ~90C. I'm pretty sure I can get 4.4+ stable out of this chip, but I've got some thermal issues and I'm not willing to roast it to do it though. I'm not sure if it's not enough case airflow or simply the need for stronger airflow on the heatsink itself yet. I really wish I had just stuck with water now but at the time I didn't really feel like going to the trouble as I tend to have bad luck with pumps and that's aggravating (I've had four pumps die on me over the years). I did remount the Megahalems the other day but the difference was minimal. When I run it at 4415 it seems stable in general usage but running any kind of torture testing (prime, IBT, etc) spikes up the temps so quickly (it's obvious it going to climb to 100 or above) I just stop the app.

Well at 4.2GHz im running vcore target voltage at 1.3025, watching cpu-z I see it sometimes go to 1.34 under load. From a screenshot I had seems max temps were 92 90 87 84. At 4415mhz I'm running 1.36 on the vcore which is well under what most people consider "safe" but the temps are crazy high like I said above so I'd think I'd probably have some headroom for even more clockspeed if I could ever get the temps down.![]()
Yes that's it the one. It has to be installed and then the benchmark file in your program files folder can be run. That benchmark file is small and needs to be hosted so others can download it directly.![]()
