I had my chip at 4.5 when I first got it. Was stable at 1.35volts and temp was in the low 70's with prime95. Because of this hot summer I just lowered my clock to 4ghz at 1.17v and now I'm only getting 57 in prime 95. This chip is unreal. Still faster then my I7 920 at 3.6ghz...
I'm thinking of keeping these settings at 4ghz. Am I crazy for not wanting to waste the extra power since nothing in my rig seems to be cpu bottlenecked? Or am I missing something other then benchmarks?
