I replaced the 2 Noctua 120mm fans for 2 coolermaster R4 120mm I had spared and it reduced the temps by another 2-3 degrees celsius...so 4.7GHz / 1.38 / 70Degrees max Not bad for a $200 CPU!

I'll need to grab a larger monitor, cause 1680 X 1050 is too small for a card like that...just for kicks, I ran Blackops (too easy to run) at ALL MAXED + 16 AA at between 130 and 175 FPS... Also, a large case with lot's of good airflow is needed. (200mm intake in the front, plus the 2 X 120mm antec fans blowing towards the card, and a Noctua 120mm intake fan sucking-in from the bottom. There's 2 X 200mm exhaust fans on top, 1 X 120mm exhaust behind CPU cooler... I'll take the time to manage that cabling, cause it looks like hell right now.

Highest I have ever seen! Thats some serious frame rates being pushed out there. Recon a nice 27" monitor would do the job. Man , cables everywhere lol you certainly have your work cut out haha. Nice one , have fun. Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really happy with mine , still running 4.6ghz at 1.36vcore. Think the thermal paste has bedded in now as the temps have dropped even more. Highest temp after 30 mins of prime95 is now 58 degrees! ( I added a couple of new case fans , a 120 rear and 140 top which has proberly helped a bit too) Its been totally rock solid , no crashes at all. Paul.

Make sure your system is properly ventilated and cooled! Got my Q6600 running at 3,4Ghz again as it's getting warmer lately now over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play a bit with the pulldown menu('s). Not sure if you can see how hot the NB will get, but yeap it will become HOT when you touch it with your finger.

Glad you've read my warning as I am also kinda reserved to give it a hard push Standard test might be good enough though and if your games are stable (or your RAID if you have that).

I then ran a "maximum" test , let it run for 5 mins , cpu temp the same , not sure what else it was doing so stopped it there to be safe. Recon the system is pretty dam stable anyway.

ON SANDY, I found that a stable INTELBURNTEST or a stable LinX can be deemed unstable by a Prime 95 run....I agree that Prime takes forever... Now, the way I see it, is that I start with IBT or LinX and give P95 a shot...SANDYBRIDGE seems to be a little different "behavior" wize. I run at 4.6 at 1.37V... I turned-in the GTX590 for full refund...this is a somewhat limited run of cards that are throttled to avoid overheating...the original driver was crap. The next one wasn't bad, but chokes the card...you still get a great amount of performance out of it, but it has WEAK Voltage regulation Modules (VRMs)....anyway, a few guys toasted their cards by overvolting, but quite a few got lemons also...I got rid of mine...right away...don't like the smell of burnt silicon in the morning... The GTX 590 was performing like two GTX570 in SLI, which is pretty darn good..but it's build with a built-in limiter (OCP) that is controlled via software...my personal card was throttling a little bit....I seen it drops from 630mhz core to 554mhz and once at 405MHz....so you get a steady 200 FPS at max details in some games, then a "plateau" at 120fps for like 30 seconds or so..then I goes back up (to keep the temperatures in-check)....I know PLENTY of FPS, but throttling nevertheless... MOFO doesn't like being a ginea pig or a BETA tester for nVIDIA...I RMA'd the card...now looking at options.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Things aren't pretty actually. The 570s are a little weak on the VRMs...the 580 is a nice card, but I'd like to go dual...SLI 560TI is a decent alternative, but the RED team's 6950s are great, run 2GB of RAM each...beating the 560TIs...drawing less wattage...

Speaking for myself , I am sure mofo is the same tho... I have simply changed the mulitplier to 46 and set the voltage to 1.36vcore.
