Sorry,still not finished reading all the bumpf and a bit busy with another 2 I7s for somebody else. I run mine on a Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme and Coretemp says it's running 90C, Speedfan says 82'ish, and others say summat else so hard to figure. but it seems quite happy and not throttling so what the hell. Might switch to a spare IFX 14 with 3 fans till I get time to do the water. Fans are running fast and noisy but it is 26C in here. May put one of my other server rigs on as well cos the 2 I7 video servers aren't doing half as much as the 3 duals they replaced. But yes, it doesn't like HT and 8 LLR's running at 3.8Ghz tho' it does do it and use 5.6 Ghz of memory! At 4.2GHz it does throttle tho' on HT so LLR is using everything it's got and a bit more. Might invest in a pair of Xeons when the price drops a bit cos I could really do with another high power server and those 5XXX range are peachy.
Appologise for the off topic guys, just trying to fit everything in.
