i7-940 XM finally doing it's thing

Well I was about ready to give up on this cpu of mine when I thought maybe i should reapply thermal paste using some good stuff(Arctic MX4); I had originally used AS5 which I thought was pretty good stuff but i still got high core temps.50-58c at an idle. I just ran 3DMark Vantage and my temps were 40-48c. There is no curing time with AMX4.

 

wow nice!!! now oc that bad boy, hehehe

 

Nice! Now throttlestop that thing to get 20k CPU points!

 

Snap inap!

 

Hehe, great! Time to beat Inaps CPU highscore, hehe

 

hey let not go that far, second place is great. hahaha

its been sitting up there for ages, i'm surprised that no one has beaten it yet. so bring it!!!!

 

I'd love to beat this score, but I can't get it to run 27x on all cores... seems your 940xm was binned higher for a good reason... I tried some runs with setFSB yesterday but it only brought me to BSOD-heaven, lol.

usmc362 has a cpu that might be capable of beating yours... though it's gonna be tough to beat king Inap I guess

 

looks like i won't stay king for long with the way you guys are pushing the system. just sad no one was really benching when i had my M15x it would of been awesome.

 

Well no one is as dedicated to make a custom AC cooler to really push the system

 

haha i was gonna make my own mini ac unit cooler for the M15x, but with all the parts and labor i was looking at $600. so i gave up on that idea.

ok now you guy make me wanna go do some benching.

 

Can't you just get some foil tubing and direct the air flow from your in house AC to the underside of your lappy?

 

yeah thats what i ended up doing. but a custom mini ac cooler for a notebook would of been sweet. still wanna make it one of this days.

 

I'm glad it worked out for you. my temps are a bit higher with MX3 - perhaps I should repaste...

Go get 'em!

Jdpuris, you should do some benchmarks too, since you got the special edition 940MX!!!!!!

 

Damn these radeon cards! My Nvidia cant keep up with benching but my CPU can. Nice scores!

 

Hey Inap, why did u stop posting around these forums? We miss you man...and I don't mean that in a sensitive girly way!!!!! Just clearing out..no offence intended.

I got a M17xR3 as well but I like the one in my sig more..!!! See around the M15x forums man!!! Peace.

 

I think I need to repaste first - then I'll give it a try. Of course, my 260m is not going to be a match for all that hot Radeon iron - but maybe within the 260m group,....
