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.

Newegg selling for $560-$580....instock. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Description=4870+X2

wana 9800GX2 for under $300....then follow these 2 links. http://secure.ncix.com/hotdeals/ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130338

I believe the distance between the fins to the screw holes is about lesst than 1/4", and then standard 120mm x 25mm fan is 1" thick. Therefore, you can use #6 - 1-1/4" screws with fan grill then you will be fine, no worry the punchure, the fan grill is about 1/16" thick. If you don't use fan...

Fittings are not included, old Swiftech rads used to have 3/8" NPT but G1/4" for all the new models now.

this kit only good for CPU including overclocked CPU. It won't give you good temp with GPU added. If you want to add a GPU then go with 220 kit at least, even better, replace the 120.2 rad with 120.3 but you have to use T-line or add on a seperate res for this setup though. The intergated...

Darkside, Have you heard of a guy name Bill Owens from MNPCTECH? He has a shop specialize doing PC modding but I don't think he is any where near you live though. I forgot where he located, damn. If you feel you're not incline enough to do it by yourself, you can contact him or watch his...

do the painting by yourself, even if you ask a body shop to do it for you. They're still going to charge you from than $150, I'm just guessing here. This is just a small job to them and it is not worth it to them to take on a small job like this, they have to charge you enough to make some...

LOL...:D very original artistic though.

I think MCR60 will fit if you don't care it is not FC. You have to wait few more weeks for a dedicated block, 48xx is just became available. It's to recent for block makers to come up a new design for it.

ok, why don't you try to remount the block, see if you have a better temp? You can add the second 120.2 rad at the back of the exhaust fan (exterior) without using radbox, TJ09 back is pretty flat there. You may use the 120mm x 38mm fans to bring the rad a little further away from the case...

what was the temp you were expecting? 44c idle, 66c load are seem about right, just a little tad on the higher side, around 5c. What is your ambient?

isn't it eventualy going to freezed? ....antifreeze coolant won't. I see what you're trying to do, let us know if it's work.

what is your temp for this setup?

Yeah, you're better start save your hard earned cash for a new MOBO as well. Nahalem is totaly different socket, hope you're aware of this. So don't buy any new board from now until Nahalem released, even the upcoming P45 board, if you're think of upgrading to Nahalem.

If this is P45 board then it will be more complexes to overclocking. Read more detail on P45 boards overclocking article

You need to use AsusUpdate utility, this pro will allow you to down grade the bios. Before you down grade make sure you put your overclocking (if there's any) back to stock setting or it causes your board to bricked.

MCP655 is very quite even at max speed, it has 5 adjustable speeds. within couple degrees better but with triple rad you have more head room to cool more than just a CPU, perhaps NB or a grfx card. no just make sure you get a Fuzion or Apogee GTX block. I personally don't like intergated...

fart urgly board!:(

No, maybe the employee stole the part? or you got a returned box that previous customer decided to keep the accessories and the store didn't check it. Why don't you demand, make it clear, a new replacement not the refurburshed one.

Cosmos S won't fit Thermochill's rads due to weird fan mounting holes position.

well it all depends how you installed your rad, internal or external. The important is to draw a fresh cool air to cool the rad and you want to exhaust the hot air away from the case. If you do internal installation then you want to push the hot air out of the case, you don't want to pull the...

you posted under Intel's Mobo.

Drooooling!...Yo baby let get sagging.:p Mr.Wizzard, what can you do better than the black & red heatsink beside replace it with waterblocks?

It's not that bad like you think or you can go with this system http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=popup_image_scroll&products_id=20695&image_scroll_id=0

I'm not sure if your case is big enough to fit a 120.2 rad? It might fit a 120.1 (back exhaust fan), the next place is the bottom of the case. It's going to be a tight fit (you have to measure the clearance from the video card) but you will loose the feauture use of PCI slots. I think you...

Of couse it is. You should pair a good Rad that designed to use with low RPM fans (about 800-1000 rpm). It's not only quieter but better cooling than air.

nothing wrong with your temp. It's normal for air cooling. Were you expecting around 30ish degree because you lapped the CPU and the cooler? :D Lapping CPU or cooler only gain 1-2 degrees, if you're looking for mid 20 degree then you should go for TEC cooling.
