Just ordered my kit

Should have the stuff by Friday, so I'll see if I can get some decent scores in this.

(I just want one of those bench tables haha)

 

[Rasmus66]

Should have my G540 cpu on monday

Looks like these celeron processorer like the cold temperatures. One of my friends is runnings his G540 with a -105 degrees cascade without any problems

I don't think I'll be able to freeze mine, as I don't really have the time to make new mounts for my pot as it doesn't cover newer sockets.

What a bloody numpty I am! I left my RAM behind so can't bench this evening!

 

[MSIRawZ]

Looks like a great comp. I was tempted to pick up a Celeron SB when they launched but, I'd rather bench the top end stuff for now.

 

[Stromatolites]

Think my board was DOA, both bios seem to be buggered, no post and infinite boot loop.

 

[Rasmus66]

I just got my cpu today

Will do some testing tomorrow

 

[Stromatolites]

I gave up, board is dead

. Returning the board and chip.

Going to start stocking some 1156 chips to freeze.

 

[Rasmus66]
