check the space of the IHS to the PCB.. usually a chip with the IHS very nicely seated has a very very short distance between the PCB and the IHS..

Taking off the IHS helps alot

taking the ihs...hehe...no thanks, unlike u who have a collection of proc gems, i only have one maa...too risky.

tampoi: currently using the BTa version...and since mine is 9x multiplier, hitting a 3ghz wif air cooling wif our climate is near impossible...cabne 0530 prolly, cab2e 0540 + air cooling + our climate = near impossible (not impossible yet), will keep pushing

it helps if you're SURELY how to remove it... warranty surely void by doing that...

if you're not very sure how to do it... it is extremely NOT recommended.. however if you want to remove the IHS, here's the guide...

i suggest not to remove it until u get another opty
like remy says too risky!

3Ghz on air is possible here, for some quick test run and benchies. And could be near impossible for 24/7 usage, unless anyone there dare to bet on that by running on 3ghz 24/7 for a try out.

u are talking about 144 or 146? my 146 is 3ghz on air cooling now primed for 11 hrs no prob.... stopped at 11th hr coz need to go to work ~_~

wow.. good for you sup3rfly....

thx
i think 3ghz is the max liao.... tried 3.1 get bluescreen....

wonder whether can get my opty up to 3GHz

That's nice. Priming at what Vcore?

hmmm its 1.45 x 110%

146 I mean, some 144 also can perform quite well.

that's what i meant...wif 144, prolly u need cabne 0530 to hit 3ghz wif 144...146, many has joined the club...congrats...

Erm, I actually refering to the temp, not the chances of reaching 3ghz.

well my temp is vary...from 48 - 55 sometime.....
48 - 50 is in air conditioned and 51 - 55 is afternoon or without air cond.... the idel temp is around 38... @ 1.45 x 110%...now trying 1.475 x 104... is the temps low???

eh i have a weird situation here.... everest detect my timing as 1T but SANDRA detect as 2T...which one shd i trust??i set 1T(CPC = Enable) in the bios....

bluescreen == closely related to the PSU & vcore ..

Its more around that temp. Hmm you using stock cooler?

Trust Everest, sometimes Sandra doesn't gives appropraite value.

try checking with A64 Tweaker

Bro, how's your 0540FPMW doing? Eager to know the results.... Post 'em up

my week 40 venice sucks...wont budge above 250...no matter what voltage,....
