RMA'd my cpu again and this time I hit the jackpot

dipstick · Feb 11, 2003, 02:51 AM

After a bad replacement of my original cpu (both would only do 2.2) I decided to rma it again and this time I got extremely lucky. The freakin thing can do 2.6GHz @ 1.9v, but I cannot keep it under the max 55c that I will allow my cpu's to run, so I run it at 2.46@1.8v and it hits a max of 46c under load. For the record I run an SLK800 with a 80mm antec LED fan which is pretty quiet. Sorry for me going offf like this, but I'm extremely happy.
I also hit my all time highest score in 3dmark http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=5907874

I'm creeping up on 14K.....what about you DIGI?

digitalwanderer · Feb 11, 2003, 04:12 AM

Uhm...I'm sort of between scores right now. I'm playing on me GF3, but I'm trying like hell for something new. That taste I got just leaves me a begging for more.....

Oh, I expected your scores to be closer to mine

.... But no offense. Those are good scores for bubbles.

BOW DOWN TO ME! See My 1337ness!

Dude, Toshiro, that isn't even funny!

Toshiro, that score is l337 t0 d@ m@x0rz. My old XPERT 2000 can't even do that score EVEN if it tried on a P3 733 MHz. BTW, DigitalWanderer, was that 9700 with Bubbles from when you were reviewing the 9500 I believe? (May have been somebody else

) Just curious. Kakarot, how did you RMA your CPU? Basically, I wanna know what reason you gave for the RMA. Certainly it wasn't "This chip is faulty! It can't go over 2.2 GHz. Gimme another!" Or...was it?

dipstick · Feb 18, 2003, 04:41 AM

hehe, almost. I used "I don't know what's happening, it's freezing up on my all the time; I've rma'd pretty everything else and the cpu is the only thing left that could be causing this". I used this same exact excuse twice
