It kind of looks there might be a silver lining to the dark cloud of the “wrong part delay” issue. I wanted to do the “total” W/C thing at one time, that’s the reason for not doing anything with DC for a while. Haven’t been idle though (much to wife cringe) as I’ve started working on a friend’s mATX build, checking and oc’ing his Tf7025/4400+ Brisbane, and thanks to fleabay “playing with another nView”.

This is the setup used on the Tech Station and because of this it looks like DCv2.0 has a “major” changes (Bold/Italics) :

Mobo: abit NF-M2 nView
CPU: Opty 1210 CCB6F 0750EPMW
HFS: zalman CNPS8000 (for testing on air)
Memory: G. Skill F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ PC2-6400

Using ClkGen and SPi (only do 8m runs) I was able to pull 361.67 X9 = 3.255GHz @ 677 2T http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=355523

For a “stable” run did a 6 hour run of OCCT at 353 X9 = 3.177GHz @ 677 2T

I going to use the spare nView from this test also so as not to disturb the “match”.

Also took this opportunity to address one of the earlier issues that was one of my “little disappointments” with the CPU block……the finish. So around 23:30 – 24:00 pull the block off of the 4000+ so I could lap the bottom. After cleaning off the goo here is a picture of the “factory finish” (excluding the two long scratches I did that clean off the paste):



Here I am about half-way “done” using 600 wet/dry. Interesting to note the edges are “polishing out” first. Also here is a pick of my “lapping layout”, using a sheet of glass for flatness and tapping down the sand paper.



Didn’t have any 1000 grit so I used my last sheet of 2000………..so about 30 minutes later and no more super fine sand paper I call this “somewhat done” as there are still “scratches” cause by the sand paper filling up.



Slame was able to mail me a replacement bracket a while back so I should be seeing it shortly. Problem is now I have plants and planters to work on!!
