yeah you can get a NB pot pretty cheap or just splash the nb cooler with LN2 and it will help

OK guys. I've been on vacation for a bit but time to get back on the grind. Got me a new lil toy to play with.



Already straight out the gate it is a learning curve as it sure doesn't handle like the 920 I got. The 920 is 4.315ghz stable at 1.275v wheras this one takes somewhere between 1.36-1.4v to just run idle at 4.3ghz. Crazy thing is at 4.3ghz and 1.4v it runs about the same temps as my 920 at only 1.275v!!! I will be knee deep in work for awhile in plans of running LN2 11/2 thru 11/4. Wish me luck and I hope this thing scales like a mo-fo under extreme temps.

On a side note punx, I will be sending that Asus off to you to get the hook up my friend sometime next week so be prepared or be squared and as usual there is no rush.

Well unfortunately the only thing extreme about this chip is its name as it isn't looking good. That was always the reason of me not droppin $1k on a chip in fear of it being a P.O.S.!!! Looks like I have alot more testing on it. Might have to drop some DICE on it to see if it performs better than what it is on air.

you will be very happy to know taht some chips that do very well on air/water do crappy on sub ambient, however one like you have does crappy on air/water soemtimes will do great on subzero

not as well as you do bro

Yeah that is what I am hoping for. My air testing is complete as it is going nowhere. Can't get it past 4.6ghz for the life of me. But like I said, this thing stays unbelievably cool no matter what volts you throw at it. Had it at 4.5 something ghz with 1.5v and temps were lower 40's!

The calm before the storm tomorrow.
