    Rob,

    your cpu actually OC's better than mine. your vdroop is down to 1.28v. to maintain 4.0ghz, I enabled loadline calibration and my vcore stays right around 1.36v. if you had a loadline calibration feature and enabled it your temps would be through the roof.

    I would rather have your cpu because it obviously doesn't require as much vcore to maintain 4.0ghz stable and I could lower my vcore and therefor my cpu and core temps would be even lower. you get my drift?

    the one guy i haven been talking with he has your board and the AC freezer 7pro and his load temps are 59-62c so to me that excludes the cooler. atleast thats the way i see it... maybe im looking at it wrong

    sammorris,
    Actually just a hair under 23% faster. The part that has me puzzled is why it won't run at 4.0, when it did it with the Ballistix 1066 memory. I also tried the same Ballistix 1066 memory again and it still won't run stable over 3.55GHz. I still think I hurt something taking it to 4.0 the first time. I still plan on RMAing it in a few more months. I just want to give it more time because of my RMAing the D-940 about 3 months ago! LOL!!

    Best Regards,
    Russ

    I often wondered to myself whether it'd be worth trying to boost my overclock - things like that are what have stopped me from doing so. My 1.8Ghz chip has run at at least 2.7Ghz since the day it arrived, and has been going 3Ghz+ strong since last summer! :)

    @mort
    he actually has his at 4.2ghz and as for the ambient temps i dont know. he also has a nzxt case i dont know which one for sure. his vcore is a lower tha nmine i know that also. he only has his at 1.31v i have mine at 1.3625.

    speaking of that. is the vdrop something to worry about. setting it higher and only running at a lower setting?

    That's it then, with a Vcore that low it's understandable how his temps are so low. I'm dumbfounded he's got to 4.2Ghz on only 1.31V though, that's incredible - that's what it set in the BIOS or what he sees off everest/speedfan?

    The 8.7dBA is bull - it's actually 20dB. Be advised that fan is for pure silence, and not for good airflow - if it's a replacement fan, it will have a negative impact on performance. The SFF21E is a low noise fan that gives average airflow, the SFF21F is a tolerable noise fan that produces well above average airflow.

    I would go with this instead. the shipping should be less too if you choose supersaver shipping.

    I forget, is this an upgrade or an extra? If it's an upgrade he would surely want the SFF21F...

    Nice one, the maths sort of makes sense now; i've just put the BIOS back to 1:2 and rebooted so that's the last time i'll need to mooch in the BIOS.

    Cincyrob - very good work on the OC fella, glad to see you've got past the troublesome PC blues.

    Anyone - i see Mort's put a nice pic of his pc there, how about some of you help a few of us revive the "Where are you sat" thread, let's see some pics of the pc's y'all are always talking about ? :)

    here's my latest contribution - http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_jump.cfm/208116/4120383

    LOL!
    110CFM at 16dB. Man, that'd be the day!

    A 120mm fan that pushes 110CFM will be around 45dB.
