Fresh off the Fedex truck by like 2 minutes i got my XP1600+ today from Newegg but its a

AX1600DMT3C
AGOIA0206MPM
41F17094227

I wanted a AGOIA Y but ill have to pop this thing in now, carefully don't want to kill it. ill post back later on how good its doing...

[Flamed_Chip]

From what I have heard the "4" doesn't do too badly.

[elitemetalx]

post the results okay

AGOIA0208mpm "4"
1600+ @ 1812mhz with ~ 1.83 vcore. 24 hours of prime95 = No problem

[demon-eater]

OH MY GOD 58C, says 92C with the in socket temp probe.

im gonna shutdown and remount my waterblock, are there any known problems with 8K3A boards reading really really high like mine is right now???

this is scaring me

[SLO_N8]

High? Yes.... that high? No

These temps are too high and either your temp is being read improperly or you don't have ur WB seated to well.

The 8K3A reads temps from the internal diode in the XP CPU.

Edit: BTW, don't trust the in-socket temp reading when using an XP.....its way off......always use Winbond P2 Diode or whatever it is

[elitemetalx]

SLOW-N8 what kind of psu are you using? and TI4200, you got any other cooling besides the stock cooling?

[SLO_N8]

Antec PP-412X....and yes, I have a SVC GC68 on the GPU...no ramsinks.

[elitemetalx]

so people cant expect 600mhz ram without ram sinks with the ABIT, i was thinking about getting this card, and now i guess the decision has been made, thanks

[SLO_N8]

off-topic but yes, easily 600 memory from the abit.....even all the review sites are hitting at least that.....and @ 627 i am getting none to few artifacts....every once in a blue moon i'll see one

[demon-eater]

DANG! Block was mounted correctly full print of AS3 on it when I took it off remounted it and put in on tighter this time and still around 60C at idle......

im stumped on this one...

my water setup is enough to cool a 1.4ghz tbird @1.65ghz generating 100watts of heat this thing is only making 63watts.

ill remount it a third time just in case something funny is going on

[elitemetalx]

yes i know its off-topic, sorry about that, but thats a sweet card, thanks SLOW-N8

If the temps in your house are very warm to hot, your not gona cool that thing at all.. Water wont go below the room temp.

[demon-eater]

room is AC, turns out shim was too thick

currently running @ 1.8ghz w/1.9v @ 51C full load 48C idle

kinda high considering its making 93watt of heat and my tbird was making 100 watts of heat when i killed it, that was running 34C idle 38C full load.. and the insocket thingy on my Iwill was pretty acurate

[xtrmeocr]

the in-socket thing on iwill boards is off by 10-12C according to the XP's diode

[KnownKiller]

Yeah those temps are about the same as mine... Really high with the 8K3a+... is that when your running prime95? or max load? If not then heh.. i'd look into some better radiator... all copper.

[elitemetalx]

whats the point of watercooling, when people are getting 1800-1900mhz with air?

[demon-eater]

you won't go deaf as quickly as sombody else doing it on air.

you can always add a pelt without worrying.

it looks realy cool.

all your friends think your crazy.

need i say more?

The 8K3A/+ reads the on die sensor inside the core of the CPU. Temps read higher with this reading but they are accurate. Insocket thermistors blow chunks and are inaccurate and lie. My H20 setup gives me 48-52C load running folding 24/7. I have a XP 1600 @ 1.9G 2.05V. On my 8kha+ my temps read as 37-39C load with the insocket thermistor. These temps are coming FROM INSIDE THE DIE OF THE CPU where it is much hotter than the surface. Keep things under 65C and your fine.
