Yeah...this for a socket A...WTF?

[desiboi]

WOW!

 

[Apokalipse]

well you'll certainly overclock far with that thing.
just make sure it'll fit in your case!

 

[PP Mguire]

well i did the measurements already and i cant keep my side panel on. thats ok though cause i keep it off to keep a personal fan pointed in my case. at least i will loose one of those loud ass T-take smart fan 2's!!!!

 

[Apokalipse]

maybe a bigger case is in order?

 

[PP Mguire]

nah, my dad bought me this raidmax scorpio case and its doin pretty good so far. plus like i said, it dosent really matter cause i dont use the side panel really.

uhhhh whats funny about OC'ing a socket A dude?

My XP-M would boot at 2.8GHz, was stable at 2.7GHz but too much Vcore for my liking

and I run it at 2.5GHz for 24/7 use from stock 1.8GHz.......

 

[PP Mguire]

i think i need to get one of those.

 

[DJ-CHRIS]

Yeah if it wasnt for watercooling, nubius would need one of those.

 

[Nubius]

nah I had an SLK-900A before water cooling, that thing worked awesome paried with a 80mm Tornado....that's what I got up to 2.8GHz on. Mind you as I said that was simply bootable, as soon as I hit 'test' on prime95 it froze up

2.7GHz I got completely stable though and have posted the image of my bandwidth tests on here multiple times

that first heatsink also supports socket 478
so it does serve another purpose
