hey guys,
after toms nice review of the 990x, i really was going crazy about this cpu and i simply had to get one. let us please not talk about money in this thread. this isnt about cost, its about passion.
actually after the waiting, unboxing and connecting to the mb (rampage III extreme) i put the watercooler on it. while checking the temperatures i recognized, that the core temps are differing a lot. core 0 35°C and core 1 21°C. so i changed the thermalpaste again but its still the same. is it normal?
after trying to get the highest baseclock it ended at 213mhz. so i was already a bit disappointed, since tom managed 220mhz with air cooling.
to make a long story short, i got the system running stable at 4.7ghz with a 188.4x23 verclock and 1.45v. cpu temps is about 55°C and the cores aren't going above 73°C.
my question to tom; what do you think, am i unlucky with the cpu or is the problem sitting in front of the monitor?
a nice sunday evening to everyone!
