IHS Removed

yeah I wouldn't bother removing the IHS unless I could afford to take a burn...and I suppose I sort of could since I still do have a 3200+ to use, BUT I really don't want to go back to single core

Plus like with your results I don't think it would effect CPU overclock all that much IMO and the only thing it would really benefit is temperature which are fine on my CPU (I think my load temps are around 45C)...definetely something I'll try someday but not until I have a solid income that can support something like that

I've got a 0551 opty 165 and it's on the "AVOID" list at XS with this particular steppings. XS lists it as 2.7-2.75 at 1.55v and that's exactly what I'm doing.
Still don't believe that's entirely correct since also pretty much I got the same results as you and I have one of the better steppings...and I'm positive 0551s supposedly have the better memory controllers if I remember correctly

Like I've told you many times though 1.8Ghz > 2.7GHz is 50% overclock which I personally am fine with
 
ALRIGHT!!! CPU PORN!!!

As usual Nekkid is good. I think I'm going to have to rewire your case for you one of these days.

The cpu can't be under room temp, so it may be 30 in there... (well it could be.) and ontop of that, the Opteron's don't have a accurate CPU temp probe.

Here is something to think about.

"You shouldn't even ask what someone else's temps are. This is one of the biggest problems i see in forums. YOUR temps are not even accurate relative to your own system, much less someone elseÂ’s. Let me elaborate. Just because your board reads 41C does not mean that if the temps drop 5C in real life the board will read 36C. Motherboards are not "absolutely accurate", nor are they "relatively" accurate. This is even worse with in-socket monitoring while watercooling. It is quite possible for the area around the socket to heat up to 50-60C, and influence the temperature measurements of the in-socket thermistor."

hey for protecting the SMD components on the pcb try some silicon or conformal coating, that might be going a bit overboard but you could use it and throw on a peltier :/ that oughta keep temps down for you. i would put some small foam/rubber pads on the corners of the pcb that are the same height as the die like on the old athlon xp's just to protect it from the waterblock.
The eletrical tape does fine protecting the little components. Don't want to bother with silicon or conformal coating. Electrical tape is easily removed. Also there is no point in messing with a peltier. They aren't worth the trouble and the insane power requirements.

Also that electrical tape is thick enough to act as crush pads.

Those temps seem high for liquid cooling. Especially a system like that. With my 3000 @ 2.54GHz my full load is 36*C on a Bigwater SE.
Well a couple things you need to remember.

1 is that I said I'm pretty sure that this temp monitor is just completely way off which is generally the case. I don't think theres a truly accurate monitor out there that's built into computers yet which really is kind of sad.

2. You can't compare a single core processor like yours to a dual core processor like mine. Dual cores are obviously going to run quite a bit hotter.

but yeah, overall I'm quite certain this temp is just way off because I'm seeing dual core owners on air getting WAY cooler temperatures. Granted it's pretty hot in my room especially with summer coming in this desert, buuuut yeah those temps are ridiculous.

Like I've told you many times though 1.8Ghz > 2.7GHz is 50% overclock which I personally am fine with
Yeah I know, it's nothing to scough at, but it annoys the crap out of me considering my venice sucked balls and now, yet again, I get a week right after the supposed good weeks. I want my 2.8 dang it! I wanted 2.8GHz with my venice way back when, it's like a freakin curse.

Well I already shipped out my 3200+ so I had nothing lol. I was fully prepared to glue that IHS back on and send it in haha.

Just dont be a retard, be careful and take your time doing it and all should be well. Take precautions against the transistors and stuff like that.

I only tested it a little last night, but I'm not sure if 2.8 will be realized =/ Seems like 2.75 will be it's limit which is exactly how they are listing this particular one at XS.
 
ahhh Now you really getting me wanting to do it :sigh:


But I dont have watercooling.....and I dont have the money for it... I suspect My CPU Fan would probably crush it....


Nice watercooling :)

that case is HUGE what is it?
 
i think the fan wouldnt even touch the die. because the IHS takes up the space between the die and the HSF. or maybe im way wrong
 
General, you are right, you have to mod fans to fit onto the CPU, which I have no idea how poeple do it. You need to have screw fittings really to get a good contact between the CPU core and heatsink.

Some annoyingly heavy thermaltake case. Xaser V WinGO or something crazy like that.

The core is higher than anything else on the chip. So naturally the block is going to make contact with it. That's why people advise putting electrical tape on the transistors to act as a pad and prevent shorting out but the block doesn't technically rest on it anyway.

not really hijacked since it pertains to the same thing.

You shoulda got some pics. Even if it's a crappy obsolete piece, pics are a must :D

Crazy to think that I've overclocked my CPU twice as far as that old CPU's total speed even after it's overclocked.
