Not bad for an HTPC...

[MIAHALLEN]

Yep..I bought this new i3 540 for my HTPX upgrade...not for benching. But that doesn't mean I'm not allowed to have a little fun first right?

CBB @ -75C and CB at -106C on this P55A-UD3R Gotta try another mobo...

 

[Brutal-Force]

Lol, I take it thats a suicide? I wonder how far I could crank my i5 750 with 1.74V!!!!

Christ, I missed the 1.84V!!!

 

[SamSaveMax]

That's really crazy......but nice!

 

[MIAHALLEN]

Yeah, this CPU would have taken more voltage, but the board was getting a bit flakey with more than 1.7V

Felt pretty stable at 5.5GHz at -95C

 

[MadMan007]

1.84V on a 32nm CPU...I can hear the transistors screaming from here!

 

[KonaKona]

1.8 is nothing, records on this chip are 2.0-2.1v. These things are the new 65nm process; indestructible and just eats up the volts.

 

[dejo]

I never get to have that kind of fun. dont have any extreme cooling gear. looks great from here.

 

[freeagent]

Looking good man!

 

[Automata]

This is for XTREME HIGH DEF.

Good stuff though, wish I could afford a good HTPC like that. I don't think you will need to replace that for many many years.

Wow MIAHALLEN I want to come over to your house to play

1.8 is nothing, records on this chip are 2.0-2.1v. These things are the new 65nm process; indestructible and just eats up the volts.

lol...brollocks killed his chip with only 1.5v

 

[Boulard83]

Very nice clocks. Overkill HTPC

 

[MIAHALLEN]

Yeah, I wouldn't say "indestructible"...but if you have good cooling, they can typically handle quite a bit.

Honestly, I was a little concerned with my CBB of -75 booting over 1.8V...but the chip is still alive

 

[koala-czyk]

That's sick

 

[87dtna]

Very nice, I picked up a 530 just for fun. Hoping to get 5ghz on air cooling! I won't run it past 1.60 on air cooling though, don't want to fry my board's socket LOL. I should be able to get atleast 4.5ghz with HT on.

 

[MIAHALLEN]

I'd really like to see more from this setup...but it looks as though I was wrong...it may be the mobo causing the CB...

I picked up an i5 670 today and the CB is exactly the same as my i3 540....-106C

I've got an MSI Trinergy and a P55A-UD7 on the way...hopefully I'll be able to get a bit colder

 

[87dtna]

Here's mine on air, couldn't get 5ghz though. 4.6ghz is stable with HT on at same voltage. Turning off HT didn't make much difference as you can see.

 

[Voidn]

Haha, ht-benching rig . Pin mod the ud7 and go chasing after hicookie!

 

[Hey Zeus]

 

[87dtna]

What kind of temps does yours get too prime95 small fft with your water cooling? (you use real temp?)
