In all honesty, I truly believe it will take DICE or LN2 to take this chip past 4.6 Ghz because I maxed out at 1.73 vcore this morning and it would not even give me enough time to open cpuz. At 1.73vcore my temps are around -21.5*C idling in the bios. Dry ice or LN2 will be substantially better at holding this heat. This Vapo unit is kickass and working just the way a single stage should be.jtjuska said:Great to see some results up dom, now just can't wait to see what that chip can really do . Out of curiosity what is it that you think is holding back the clocks right now. Just curious to see if you think its something other than the chip... of course I could be impatient and just want to see it fly whether or not your taking your time in clocking it higher . Good Luck Dom!!!

Come on Dom, you're kidding me, give it 1.8-1.85vcore see what happens... then tell me cpu bios temps, lap that that IHS, and finally give it hell.dominick32 said:Epox and Maji, thanks guys! bios CPU temps @...
Do you think more than 1.70 volts is doable on this rig Epox? I know you pushed yours to 1.9, but I dunno man. Its a lot of dough to be playing around with you know? lol

Lets just pray... I'm still at work..greenmaji said:Uhh when you sell your ride and replace it with something like were driving we will talk
Thats right 2K wheels budget
btw.. what makes you think thats going to even be close to what it takes
crfracer290 said:Looking great, maybe with some DICE you can get 4800, but 4.65 is damn good if its stable.
And you should have been tweaking MCH long ago in my experience.
crfracer290 said:Yeah, I have to up the MCH to get past 370ish :frown:
I have a P5B arriving tommorow though!
dominick32 said:So than you will have some more experience to be attained. LOL
The P5B makes overclocking a breeze compared to the P5W...
Basically disable all CPU options and pick any FSB from 300 to 475 without touching a thing. <--- This is very possible on many retail boxed boards. Both of my P5B Deluxes did exactly that. Only after 480 did they require any kind of voltage, bios tweaks.
Good luck and keep us posted!
Hells yes!crfracer290 said:Yea it should make OCing my 6600 alot easier. But, I recently sold my Mp05 to fund a jinu SS so I am stuck with stock cooling until I get my phase.
