Pulling the E2180 in my main system and swapping it with the E5200 in my mATX/HTPC/toy/extra system.

Hopefully I won't break anything.

Edit: I am back. FYI.

This thread has earned you ten points, JLee. Don't spend them all in one place.

I've taken three of your points. Don't spend the remainder all in one place.

Did... did you just steal from a cop?
...Bad things are coming man.

Its ok, if macfarlane just moves really fast from left to right jlee wont be able to see him.



cookie for whoever names the massassian i blatantly stole that joke from!

3.24Ghz prime stable for over an hour, 42c current temp.



/me runs to the bank and deposits the remaining 7 points

Damn, i was hoping for an epic battle where you get your 3 points back.

Don't worry, I'm charging him interest. He'll owe me 4,159,391 points by December.

short-term win

and thank god, because i have no idea what the joke is or whose joke it is

Somehow I read the thread title as "

goodbye ppl, I will be black soon!

You were running at 3.0 before right? So you gained +250mhz and 1mb cache. How noticable is the difference?

No idea yet. I probably should've benched it before. Ahwell. I'll fire up some games eventually.

I think I could go a lot higher than 3.24 - this is on stock voltage, and apparently they're safe up to 1.4v. I'm just concerned about heat - I had two different programs give me two different temps. The thermal paste I'm using is supposed to be good stuff (forget what it's called), but it doesn't spread clean/thin like Arctic Silver does..maybe it froze when it was outside and that killed it. I should try some AS5 and see if that drops the temps.
