Very happy with my i5

[robble]

Was easy to do with reasonable voltage.
Temps:
ambient room: 31-33
idle 39-40
full load (prime 95): 69-70

I knew I was cpu limited with the last couple video cards I had but I didn't realize by how much. My framerates basically doubled in Borderlands.

I haven't tried to go higher and I don't feel the need to try. This thing is blazing fast compared to my old opty 165 @ 2.7 I doubt I'd notice a difference even if I went to 4.4ghz

Nice job

You will want to push it farther soon...

Good overclock and reasonable voltage.

IF anyone wants the numbers from the chip:

Is this Prime95 stable?

My one needs 1.376v and LLC to stay stable

I only ran prime 95 a couple hours (blend) and played a couple hours of borderlands with no problems.

I'm not so anal that I need to run prime 24 hours to be happy. If I can have a marathon gaming session without a crash then I consider it stable enough.

I never run my computer at full load for 24 hours so I don't feel the need to test it to that standard. The toughest thing I normally do to it is gaming so that is my main test.

Hah, fair enough

Those Idle Temps seem a little high though, though with a 33*C ambient, I don't think you can do better I max out at 65*C load tho.

though with a 33*C ambient.

it's part of the sacrifice of living in Hawaii

Nice overclock. I'm so happy with my i5 as well. It's a great CPU.
