Default BEST i7 970 BATCH - 3018A860
I read through lots of threads here, and on GURU3D and Xtremesystem and I think i hit the jackpot with this batch of i7 970. They are absolutely amazing!. I have easily hit 4.0ghz (167 x 24) and DDR3-2000 T1 cas 9 with very minimum voltage.

vcore: 1.240
vtt/imc: 1.2
dram: 1.5

The temperature is absolutely amazing. with room temperature at 21.5C, I idle at 17-22 degrees and load at 53-58 degrees! Sorry for the bragging (sharing), but I am loving this chip.

How do you idle at 17-22 when the room is 21.5? What kind of cooler are you using...

well then let me be the first to burst your bubble of joy on air it is a physical impossibility to get below ambient room temp hell even on water once your loop heats up it almost impossible so idling at those temps is just wrong. that being said the diode for temp monitoring is set to be 100% accurate at max tdp to have safe tmfunction and when it comes down to it load temp is all that matters but great load temps and great overclock nice chip

I have the same batch. You got a lucky chip. My VID is 1.3v, and I need 1.3625 to hit 4.1 stable. Nice Lotto tho.

Why is hyperthreading not enabled? Try cooling that with your cooler.

But at the same time I don't believe those temps...even on 32 nm. Someone prove me wrong here.
