Yes it's NIUHB. It isn't stable at 2500 1.75v Crashes first test of prime (though It runs windows fine, so I'd bet it's "illusionary-stable" by which I mean never crashes in use, but prime finds it out) I'm at 2400mhz 1.75v now. Running prime. This is half an hour after I opened the box. (This is on sk-7/sf2, a7n8x-dlx, and Allied 400watt. My main rig would take it a little farther, but would need more vcore as the nf7-s undervolts from .05-.1v
Im on about test 20 now by the way. Eventually I will put this in my main rig and burn it in.
Oh i wouldn't say it's the chip to get... I mean it will only do 2.6ghz at 1.85v. That's not very good, is it? I got into windows and ran prime for 1 minute at 1.90v 2650, but stopped it and decided to burn in instead. I'll start the overclocking tonight. Looks like 2.6-2.7 will be where this chip ends up... couldn't even load windows at 2.7ghz, 1.9v... so I'm thinking that's about where it hits a wall that takes 2+vcore and top notch cooling to get over.
Looks like a great chip, and I'm not seeing any of the problems with high voltages alot of people reported about the early 1700+ DLT3C's.
Ohh, Hmm Im so should i get a 1800+? Im building my first rig.. I know this isnt the place to ask but since you guys are here might as well. Sorry for intrurpting this thread. Didnt want to spam and make another one.
-AMD processor
-ABIT NF-7 S rev 2
-Dont know ram need help on that
-Slk 800?
Thats about it so far.. Ill find a case and crap just need help on the setup with hardware.
Congrats on the chip and the OC WOW. I recently got one of the new retail chips from newegg, but its a JIXIB DLT3C . Presently at 2.6 gigs at 1.85 volts and rising prime stable. Water cooled of course, with homemade water block.
Once you get burnt in alittle more see if you hit a wall around 2700, I've got mine to that but it took a few days of burning and 2.05 volts. I just couldn't bring my self to keep it there when its prime stable at 2.6. Keep us informed will ya and thanks for sharing the great news.
edit... mine will make windows at 2850 but crashes with anything other than surfing the web. If the wind blows real hard its enough to crash it.
Booo......... you should invest more in your WC setup >> Cascade SS so i can live =P
Mem you should really start your own thread hehe ppl dont like thread jackers ;x But uhh For Ram it really depends on your budget.. if you have alot of money go for Mushkin level2 black pc3500 if you wanna keep it as low as possible the buffalo PC3500 on newegg is a good choice too...
good choice on heatsink.. get a smart Fan 2 for that heatsink
