Phenom 9950 overclocking

[Assassin48]

Super Nice!

Ill probably never touch ln2
too scared

Congrats on the 3Ghz! Assassin48.

Thanks i will be continuing OCing in 1 hour what should the highest temp be for a 9950 so i now not to go over

 

[MKmods]

for me its 45C..(Im a chicken) But I would imaging as long as it dosent get in the 55-65C range for too long you should be fine.

One thing to remember the hotter an electronic part runs the shorter its lifespan is.

OK i am at 35-37 under Prime95 plus i have a watercooled setup
1. Res > pump(237gph) > Cpu > 4870x2 > triple 120mm rad > single rad > Res

hey assasin, you mind posting a pic of your water setup, sounds cool

I think as long as the temps under full load don't go over 55ºc, you're fine, over that and Its a no no.

damn dude, it looks really nice. Here is a few pics of mine before I took it out of the case. I have it outside of a case like in my avatar now. I am modding the case a bit and putting everything back in hopefully tomorrow if not this weekend. However right now, since I got my new ASUS mobo, I am only watercooling the CPU as you can tell in my avatar.





top mounted rad apart from the one attached to the rear case fan as you see or will see in some of the pics

Nice Everything water cooled
that 1/2" ID tubing?

I was thinking about going 1/2 but i thought it would be too big

what kind of mods on the pc case?
Changing fluid color and tubes?
I would suggest the Caribbean blue tubing from koolance with blue coolant

Thats what my next change will be if i dont sell my pc

actually I just removed the bottom where the hard drives mounted so that I can mount the RAD to the front of the case. Basically I just made more space, also I am painting it black.

When I do get my actualy case which is most likely going to be a Silverstone TJ07, I will get Feser UV red tubing and feser uv red coolant. I want to go with the red and black theme, not many people do it, should look great.

 

[Assassin48]

That would look cool

 

[Chicken Patty]

That would look cool

yep, I also would like to try blue, but I rather give red a shot, if not I can always spend a few more bucks and change the tubing and coolant to blue

Very nice video. And Chicken Man that is one sweet looking comp you got there.

 

[Chicken Patty]

hey MKmods, if i mount my rad to the front of the case, do you suggest the fan blows out of the case or into the case?

By the way dude, whats your name? Rather call you by your name than "MKmods" everytime, if you don't mind.

 

[Assassin48]

Have them in a push n pull so the air can actually make it out of the case with of course a good exhaust fan

just my suggestion

Mark.. thats better than "hey you" or some of the other names people call me

I like in the front out the back. The rad dosent really remove that much heat (not like in a car) so that air blowing across the mobo and out the back is fine. Just make sure there is good exhaust.

ill have a 120mm in the back, its a thermal take adjustable that pushes some pretty good air.

 

[MKmods]

make sure the hole (perforated fan grill in the case) is cut out in the back so air isant restricted.

its not at the moment, but I will do, also imma do it to the front one.

 

[Chicken Patty]

welcome aboard dude, but please post a bigger screenshot. Can't see anything in the one you posted, too small.

Screen shots of my OC.

Temps are high, need to throttle back on 1.45 and see what happens.

Did not run Prime yet, but will try later.

Getting there.

still very hard to make out most of the things, but at least i see you are at 3.2 GHz, not bad. try to lower the voltage though, you can do it at less voltage, will help you greatly with the temps.

Its amazing but those grills can block up to 75% of the air (lol, kind of a wast to get good fans when they only work at 25%.

Also 1 other good thing about removing the perforations is the fan will be a lot quieter (no edges for air to rub against)

Yes, I know it can restrict a lot, they look restrictive hehe.

What is 'TOO HOT' for the 125W cpu?

Just ran OCCT for the first time and it stopped saying 'Too Hot'. It hit 68.

Voltage was 1.4 and NB was 1.4 with a 3.225 OC.
