X2 3800 at 2.8 GHz

[xelpmoc]

I picked up a Big Typhoon last night, and was able to hit 2.8 GHz today. But, as can be seen in the screenshot below, my ambient temperature sensor is reporting 77 degrees Celsius (around 50 idle). A bit high? Probably, but it seems to be stable so far.

DFI Ultra-D, 280x10, 4x512 MB at 400 MHz (3/4 divider), 1.55v in BIOS (CPU-Z reports 1.504). 38-40 idle, 53-55 loaded. Stable for 48 minutes in Prime95 (two instances), but I'll leave it running overnight and tomorrow while I'm at work.

CPU-Z verified and screenshot.

Dont worry it is clearly incorrect...perhaps it is in fahrenheit....

Hows stability??? 77c ambient would always have a higher cpu temp...

 

[Fallengod]

What duvie said. That doesnt make sense. The cpu would have to be higher than the ambient.

nice CPU.. i wish my X2 could get 2.8 prime stable =(

MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANN Killa overclock there. rool; Nice job, and that ambient temp :laugh:

Maybe it was located to close to say some MOSFETts....

Nice. I should try that speed. What setting do you have your memory at?

thats the software reporting the pwmic probably. do you have smart guardian installed or a you using mbm or speedfan?

at any rate, pwmic is allegedly good up to 100c+ and it runs crazy hot on my boards too with the x2's. not 77c, lol, but i've hit 60's @ 2700, 1.44v, 2.7 vdimm. your vdimm may be heating it up too.

if its stable i wouldn't worry about it or you could position a fan to blow over that area of the board.

regarding this review

i'm impressed on how well a high fsb does against a higher clocked cpu (8 x 310 vs 10 x 289)

also, in the TMPGEnc benchmark, the Venice running multiple threads is a "typo" right?

and of course, the 820D gets its @$$ handed in every app...

CPU temp looks about right; Chipset is about 3-4oC higher than my case temp; Ambient looks completely wrong! Try Speedfan or some other temp gauging program.

Are we starting to see a trend with Rev JH-E6 (Toldeos) getting a better overclock than Manchesters? I have now seen about 6 (including mine!) at between 2.7 and 2.85Ghz.

i dunno, my manchester does 2.5 on stock volts, I should be good for 2.8 on 1.45 or so, I mean I haven't even figured out my top on stock volts yet.

ambient should be your PWMIC temp
