Nice clocks... what are your idle/load temps on stock volts and stock clocks? What are your idle/load and voltage on your main OC? Dunno if it was mentioned...
g0dM@n said:Have you made a decision yet?
Also, what's stock voltage..
xTrEmEoVrClOcKr said:BTW, take some pics of your modding! Sen told me it turned out perfect . Also, if your going to fix it / keep it, I would recommend lapping it (Only if you arn't going to RMA it)
4.9 was a "hump" for me too...how much Vc are you running for 4.9? Mine absolutely needed 1.55Vc to be stable enough to PCMark04 @ 5GHz. 1.525-1.535Vc it would start and not score. What are your load temps?Actually 4.9 seems to the best i can do with it! Anything over 290 fsb and it wont boot

Yeah, that idle Vc stinks. I had to wait to redo my vdroop mod to set the Vc any higher because it overvolted so much at idle...would've been 1.60V easy set at 1.55.

I'm also considering lapping my 661 since it's not selling. My IHS isn't that bad but it can only get better after a lap job.
