this depends on the chipset bro, my board runs very very very cool, even at load @ 3.4Ghz. Idle 31 and max load 38 only. ATI 790FX chipset uses very little power.

bro do u think, we can find the way to measure our PWM tem??

really like to know the idle n load tem of PWM

the temp 31C and 38C u mean for proc or PWM?
Most of the power generated from PWM is for proc and GC(those power hunger)

Stock F3 running full load will draw 90W, so OC >3.4G i believed it draws >120W!

btw, the internal temp is higher than what we measure from external.

I loaded my DFI mobo PWM to >85C before (1.6Vcore), just for a short period, takut mobo kena hangus
Even the caps I can't touch with my finger for >10 secs
Those MOSFET/ COIL <5Secs......

If without extra cooling at the PWM area I will run at 1.4V@3GHz max....temp seem a lot cooler than 1.6Vcore.

is that bundle software from Msi?

my setting now is 260 x 12 @ 3.12ghz.. ram @ 800
really hard to push to 3.2... i've try to set 3.1ghz @ default.. but orthos failed..
must up the voltage.. now stable @ 3.12... is it problem with my psu or BIOS setting?

nope. there a new one just released from the website.
the old one dosent work.

i can push 3.2 at 1.43v, whats ur psu by the way?

I have found something... thought of something actually.

Using built-in VGA seems to limit my memory overclocking. Before this, with 7300GT PCIe, my Crucial value can be overclocked up till 580mhz 5-5-5-2T with 2.3V. However now I'm using the built-in VGA, could hardly reach 555mhz with the same voltage and timing.

Its 3870 time.

oit...i using 300Watt Psu..it effect OC ??
when OC above 2.5Ghz...always restart...

sorry for off topic.. wanna share this funny vid with my OC fren... hope u ppl will see it.. really funny~

PWS... sorry again~ do accept my apology.. ekekeke

What model of your PSU??

@omara86
Please do it at Joke Heaven.
Thanks

-pWs-

I cant pust my cpu at 3.4ghz using 10x340. at 1.53v. arrrghhh...
board wont boot.

supa dupa cap ayam brand..it come with my casing...
HEC if not mistake...

Change a better one if you want to overclock.
True Power PSU is most recommended.

-pWs-

u sponser me la... 3850 also ok i dun mind

Me also broke la this month.

enlight true power 550watt.
new bios already? what version.. just check it a few days ago.. same bios as i using now.

bios version 1.2

how much it cost?

take gigabyyte odin/ silverstone st56f 550w around 330

it just modify ddr2 voltage.. any other advantage?
