Isn't power limit is also sensing the temp as well? If that the case then the temp never reach the threshold (97°c), therefore the power limit wouldn't have kick in yet. Why people so concern with Furmark? I've tested my OCed card with Furmark and passed it a flying color but it crashed...

Let's put this way; we're all know a single rad of that size can dissipate up to 200W or more of heat. An overclocked 95w TDP CPU can only put out the maximum of 150w of heat. I estimate the GPU outputs around another 100+W because the MEM & VRMS are cooled by heatsink and fan therefore no...

1) make sure you install the pump on CPU or PWM fan header, not on chassis fan header 2) dissable fan Quiet feature in the BIOS 3) make sure the pump/block proper installed 4) fans orientation as intake yield better perform than as exhaust H70 likes high flow fans. Good Luck!

According to the article, D0 stepping is just side step revision. It is not like B1 to G0 for Q6660 or C1 to E0 for Q9xxx, well time will tell I guess.

Isn't the rumour said that Intel might tweaking the new stepping for less overclocking capility like they did to the late Q6600? Because i7 920 is hurting the sales of 940 & 965 at the moment due to it frantastic OC ability. Seriously, who want to run overclocked i7 over 4ghz on air cooler...

because a single 4870 1mb is capable to play any games with good frame rates at that resolution, of course you can turn everything on high but it won't a killer like the X2. 4870x2 Pros: eats every games at high setting, fast Cons: cost, min 24", heat, some games may not scale good with...

Mx-2 has no curring time....it must got to do with embient temp?

@ MrE, exactly. He didn't give the CPU the most cooled coolant, he's giving his CPU the warmed coolant instead. The coolant got heated from the X2 and pump. @ CaptainSoble, you may have better temp for the CPU if you reverse the flow order. The Cpu gets the first coolant come our from the...

you might have better CPU temp if you switch flow order around, currently you have the CPU after X2.

no, I don't think it's going to work, the 6pin plug is to power the cpu. So 4pin one is not enough juice to run today cpu. Maybe you can borrow a psu from your friend so you can determind if it's your PSU is the culprit.

sound like PSU. Can you test it or try with antother unit?

thanks guys, I'll try them all.

does anyone know what a good software for this, something similar to Prime95? I want to test my vid for ilde/load WC temp.
