It is a little warm. I run 4.0 24/7 @ 52 while folding.

Will it blow up really cool like? No.

4ghz looks pretty tasty, so does that cache

nice volts

orion456 · 03-08-08, 06:34 PM

Most excellent.

I love the look of 4 ghz!

Now get that baby FOLDING and turn pretty into beautiful.

Should I back it down some? I'd hate for a 1000 buck cpu not to last 3 or 4 years. heh

Thanks fellows for the great comments.

What fans do you have on the heatsink? Does it feel cool or warm?

I have the Scythe S-FLEX SFF21F 120mm on it, It doesn't feel warm at all.

I'm nervous now. lol

Also the 61c is while running prime not gaming.

xgman · 03-08-08, 10:26 PM

You should be fine.

Surfrider77 · 03-09-08, 10:13 AM

I've had mine up to 65c priming 4.2GHz, but have backed down to 4GHz for 24/7 OC.

It will be fine.

satandole666 · 03-09-08, 12:28 PM

Remember Prime95 pushes your temps far higher than most games and applications. F@H may give it a run for its money, but that's about it. If you are hitting 61c full load with Prime95 I doubt you'll see much over 55-57c loaded from other programs.

Either way, you're safe.

Get some extreme cooling and show us some real numbers :P

prime81 · 03-09-08, 04:03 PM

o em gee... i gotta get one

Deanzo · 03-09-08, 04:14 PM

Looking good, and as others have said, if that your max under prime, you'll be fine.
