What we think we've learned (so far):

These Cpu's like lower temps much more than higher voltage's.

I've hit 4.0Ghz, not stablly though.
Why wont cpuz validate my overclock? Even at stock 2.8ghz it rejects it.

CPU-Z - http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=528606



Note:-
I can run it at 3.5Ghz on stock volts, passing all stress tests, prime95, OCCT etc. Seems like this is the sweet point for me.
3.7Ghz regardless of Volts just wont pass on Prime95, it will pass OCCT though.
Going to focus on the NB now

staol are you stable with that?

Pass an hour prime only, stable with other applications and games without crashing.
After an hour prime I got BSOD with 1.55v; however I have set voltage 1.6v to pass 3 hour prime.

 

[nemesis82]

thats what i thought using OCCT you would fail in 30 mins

i just dont like the idea of 1.6v+ lol not till i get a fan for my mofset and nb

I agree, I dont like 1.6v+ on my CPU and motherboard either. That is something weird with 720BE, after 3 hours prime with 1.6v the CPU temperature only goes to 38c, seems unusual compare with others.

BTW, I don't think you need to get a fan for mofset and nb, after 3 hours prime with 1.6v, it is hot when I touched the heatsink but not as hot as can burn my fingers.

 

[nemesis82]

my mosfet get pretty hot

increased nb .1 and vid .25... my temps reach [email protected] and [email protected] then again my room is pretty hot lol thanks to the military barracks air system lol... wonder if theres any 720 user on water cooler

 

[CptMorgans]

For Staol & Nemesis,

Handy info above guys. During the last day of testing I've just never felt comfortable going above 1.55 on the cpu. What would you guys be happy running it at all the time? I just keep thinking that 3.5Ghz @ 1.4v for me seems good enough. To get any higher I really have to crank up the voltage and feel like I am just overly stressing the system. I'm fairly new at all this and would be interested in your opinions. Thanks.
