Lucky I took this screen capture first, as system rebooted before I could load the other cpuz instances

what were your temps like running that voltage on air?

If you're above 65-70C, no thank you. Also not sure I would want to give up HT to get there.

 

[eva2000]

temps too high to even dare look but bios reported 43-49C idle hehe

HT doesn't always mean better...

no i'm saying HT isn't ALWAYS better, depends on the application
