SO what you think i should get out of it in OC with ac freezer7 pro than?

 

[Lupiron]

Naw, why do that? Just Lap them both, get yer extra 5-7 c in low temps, OC it till ya reach a Max core temp of 75 in yer hottest core in prime 95 with all 4 cores over hours time. You'll note that it will get to a max temp, then settle near 4 c under it for the upper end of the tests. Like 1-2 hours into it. Let it get its 8 hours, and adjust Vcore accordingly. In day to day use you'll never see its max temp. Crysis and all that junk. (Music in the background and various stuffs.) I think my one hot core gets to 60.
Some will say never go over 65! I have had mine up to 92 and still here. And huge voltages, was 1.81250 in the bios, 1.78 in windows, sooo... they wont just pop.

you got msn?

 

[Lupiron]

Nope, can I DL the client? I just use pidgin, which is an AIM client. If I can DL it, just point me to it and I will. If not, everyone knows where AIM is!

1.81250!!!!are you insane???lol

 

[iluvgillgill]

have you got a hotmail or msn account?

Well, that was an accident, but the cores were only 85c since it was only at 2.88 Ghzs. I have cranked it at full power and gotten up to 92c while testing with prime. BUT... I do know that it didnt break or get damaged YET at these extremes. Isnt that what OCing is about? Extremes?

Oh, here is some data on VIDs and how common they are.

You want anything totally straight and level, thats why they go with a glass pane. Semi-permanently attach a strip of sand paper graded for the proper stage, IE, coarse stuff to start, ending in a higher grade paper to get a nice mirror finish! You grip the corners of the processor and drag it one direction along the paper. Some people us some sort of fluid on the sand paper to make it glide smooth, spit will work, lol! But you just drag it over the sand paper in one direction, keeping in mind that you always wanna drag it LEVEL! So pick it straight up, move it to the end, set it straight down, apply pressure so it doesnt slip, and drag it slowly down the paper, then do that over and over! When the grain seems like its not removing mutch, you have to wipe it, and after a few mins, swap to a higher grain, 300, 450, 600 and 800 will work! So 4 stages. It gets all nice and shiny! Why didnt intel do that?

I dont know what everyone else would say, but the processor is not that fragile, hehe. You can damage it with something stupid like static, duh, but it doesnt seem to mind a little punishment. Me and my intel quads have been through alot! I have lapped my three quads, I have a phenom too, and 2 arctic squares. (Didnt lap the sphere cooler I have on the AMD quad, but only because I pretty much welded the sink to the processor on that frigging board! Had to make my own attachment!)

But, trading your warranty for a cooler proc will have to be weighed by you alone. Personally, I just read up on it, and said what the hell, I do everything else anyways, why not that too. I am careful, and I have a grasp of the whole idea... If you dont get it, stay away from that poor processor, it didnt do anything to you!!

Lupi, I'm getting ready to head over to the hardware store and get some sandpaper to lap my Q9450 and TRUE, using what you've written. Wish me luck!!!!
