Default so far, i'm loving my 940!

on lower than stock v's



what i did was run it on lower v's on stock for a while (2-3 days) and then started oc'ing and got better results. it used to require me 1.4 for that, either that or i was doing something wrong

cruddy temps because of cnps9500.

anyway, i'm really happy. once i save up enough for an s1283 and i fix up my antec 900, i bet i can get it to 3.8 easy.

Try pushing your northbridge frequency to squeeze some extra performance.

Orthos doesn't even max this CPU. Run Prime 95 or OCCT Perestroika instead.

Need at least 4 hrs OCCT. 3.4Ghz is a breeze(should be stable).. you mentioned 3.8GHz highly doubtful but 3.6 to 3.7Ghz very obtainable.

Default Got my 940 last night

Started mine at 3.5, went to 3.7 before I had to go to bed. Only had 1 hour to play around.

Attemped 4.3 just for kicks... didn't work.

I'll post the entire experience after trying a couple more nights..thinking I'm hitting wall from PSU or something.

Just note I'm on water, at 3.7 I'm running close to 50 C on 3 cores running overnight....will bump to 4 for BOINC and let it run 100% all night long.

The benchies it completely smokes my 9600 BE. Can't wait to run Vantage now.

But yes, LOVING the 940 I acquired for $168 brand new from Zipzoomfly. Shipping wasn't as quick as the Egg (no one is as quick!)
