Server glitch, double post.

I read that wrong at first. I saw:

Temps are down around, 2º C

rather than the intended:

Temps are down, around 2º C

Oh well.

Good job euphoricmix. I saw my AC5 drop around 10-15º C between first booting and being fully set, so your hopes of 2-3º C is not unreasonable; but if it is, you will likely be looking at 4-5º C.

And do not worry about the four hours, ten minutes. All that matters is that the job went off without a hitch and you are seeing performance gains.

I hope you are right about the 4-5*c drops. I thought my initial temps would be better because of how out of whack my processor was. I was showing some copper after 10 minutes towards the outside of the processor, and was at 70% after an hour, and it took another 40 minutes to get that last little bit off.

I guess a little time will tell how effective it was. Even a 2*c net loss in temperature is a good thing.

I actually noticed a larger drop in idle temps than I did load temps. As Joe is prone to saying:

"[Other's experiences] merely indicate possible outcomes due to the law of averages being in your favor."

and

"[A]nother favorite overclocker's adage: YMMV (Your mileage may vary)."

I wish you the best of luck, the lower the temps, the longer your rig can serve your every whim and desire!

boonie's post in our Club Contest thread (about there being Opteron 170s available on NewEgg sometime this morning; they're all sold out, unfortunately) made me realize something about Socket 939:

It's a true CLASSIC in modern computing.

I mean, think about it for a sec. You still see S754 parts (motherboards, CPUs), some Socket A, and a lot of various Intel chips (new and old) being sold all over the place.

Yet try to find a decent (never mind good, or great) S939 motherboard, or a dual-core CPU (who buys single-core these days?), it's like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

To me, this just shows that S939 is far from irrelevant, even if it's slower than the latest and the greatest out there and lacks one or two cores.

just got another nexttag alert , the 170s are available for $129 from ITNETWORKCABLES.COM

see how long they last

You gonna upgrade to a dual core boonie2? If they are a good stepping, you can probably keep your 3.0 GHz.

Oh hell no!! I gotta make a post on page 165!!!!

EDIT: WOOT!! I did
