Wow! that is really hot. Prime test with stock heatsink?

suddenly I feel stoopid for buying the 3800+
Maybe, I shud've went for the Opetron 165.

Can anybody make me feel better by tellin me my choice is a good one?

You can always sell it and buy your Opty, what's the big deal? Worst come to worst, buy the Opty, put your X2 inside your storeroom and pretend it never existed.

Damn I feel the same way too . should get K8n Master2-FAR http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/ser...ail.php?UID=613 with 2 dual core opteron instead .

In that case, i better quickly sell off this X2 before it reaches 2 weeks old.
Anywhere else I can get myself an Opty? Prefer to buy from shops, if anything senang mau claim.

Wanted to order opteron but no stock d .... Hope dinster will carry in ASAP

except the cache, is the overclockability that makes you guys wanna get Opteron 165?

Yeah, that's with the TT Golden Orb II. Gonna try to reinstall it now just in case it wasn't properly installed.

**EDITED**

Reinstalled the heatsink and reapplied AS5, same temps. It might go down a wee bit more in a few days time though once the AS5 settled in.

some info for opty 165...

click me

i think it wun do much betta even after as5 settle in...

wonder watz d power consumption (W) w/ d oc'ed voltage... muzb 100 over...

My X2 capable to do 2.7Ghz but the problem is, I need to pump 1.52V in order to make it stable, my question are:
1. will it dramatically shorten the life of the processor if I continuously feed it with such a high voltage?
2. If the proc is dead because of overvolt, am i able to RMA it?

You're right! Tak turun pon

1. Nope, 1.52v is perfectly reasonable.
2. Ethically, no

If you screw up your chip, then you pay for it. It's not fair to make the manufacturer pay for your own mistakes.

nope if u tell em', so no need to tell em' liao
juz say its dead & if no burn mark, sure can RMA

This is just selfish thinking. You're increasing costs for everyone. Oh well, in the future CPUs will probably have on die voltage regulators so it will not be a problem anymore.

Managed to reduce the vcore for 2.5Ghz

Nice arj. What HSF now? Still that TT Golden Orb arh?

Yup, still using the Thermaltake Golden Orb II. I have an XP120 as well but a friend is using it right now. Guess I have to ask for it back

What's so expensive about the X2?

X2 3800 $320

You linked the 165 from zipzoomfly, so it's okay for newegg to come up
