here's my best 6400 bench so far ...

spent an hour trying to get past 4040ghz but couldn't figure out what the hold up was.

for some reason, in the first image below, the cpu temp wasn't displayed ... but, for the record, it was idling around 49C at the 4040ghz setting. ambients temps were *cold* ... around 15C ...

here's my best bench so far:

here's the modded air cooling setup i tested with:

and finally ... here's a screeny of my regular 24/7 settings:

...

still don't know what was holding me back; i tried everything, memory settings, various vcores to MB components, vcore to mem and cpu, ... totally hit a wall after 4040ghz.

i wish i had thought to do the 32 meg superpi but totally gel'd.

<shwew!>

to be honest; i'm glad it's over.

for daily work ... i like things just fine at 3.6 (winter *or* summer); but nice to have hit the 4ghz mark as well ... if only for pr0pz.
