I saw about the same drop as you on both CPUs that i lapped. What grit did you use(end with) I started with 300 then 800 then 1000 then 1500 ended with 2000

i used the exam same method.

DICE?

thanks dude, let me know how the temps are, hopefully they are better bro. How ya like the fittings?

Well the temps are fucking SWEET!!!!! Im running the cpu test in an infinate loop on mark06 and the highest it hit was 42c
And i love how easy it is to purge the air outta the rad compared to the TT rad..... and I love the fittings..... it makes things sooooo much easier..... but talk about a mission finding metric screws to mount it.... but its all hooked up and all i gotta say is..... FUCKIN EH!!!! haha sorry about the lang ppl

what would be better for cooling..... a fan blowing through the rad or drawing it through?
its at the moment drawing air just cus i like having a air filter keeping the fins clean

It all depends
Just do push then do pull then do a push/pull and see which one gives you better results

yep so chip is FS now i think

Mooooore VOLTAGE lol.... ya gota warm her up to put out CD

hey Brad, on my i7 rig I saw about a 5ºc drop across all cores with the fans in push rather than pull. Try it out. what were your temps before?

Idle @ 34-36C.... fan pulling.
now it's 28-32C with your rad
Im thinking tomorrow I'll pick up a tube of AS5 and pull the water block off and install those 1/2" cpu block fittings you put in?
think it'll make a biger drop in temps?

you'll need some 1/2" tubing though. you got some?

I know what you mean about OC apps, but AOD is a great app man. Just give it a shot, you'll see its really useful. Esp for pinpointing sweet spots for benching.

Also about ACC, SB600 doesnt support it. But hell you already hit 3.4GHZ so you need not worry

Alright ill sit and play with it this weekend. Do you know how I can run a clock while in windows with AOD but if I set it to the same specs in my BIOS it wont boot? Sometimes wont even post.

its better to of I the bios

The reason it won't let you boot with the same setings on aod is because you are already in windows
it takes more of tweaks to get windows to load on a stable oc thats why IMO bios is better plus I don't trust overclocking apps except CCC

Thats how I've felt about it. I do like being able to up my multi a half step or so while in my OS thats always been pretty nice. Anyways last night I got it to 3.4 again with AOD. I just set my multi to 17 and raised my volts to 1.425. It made it about 20 seconds then bsod'd. So tonight im going to try to up the volts some more to get it stable because I can run 4m of PI at 3.3ghz which is a big improvement for me. My temps dont seem to get any higher than 58-60c on load even at 3.3 soo I think I still have some head room with my temps.

thats hot
your on water right?

 

[crtecha]

No just a Antec 900 stock. If I touch my NB its a little warm to the touch. Not as hot as the back of my 4850's and those only run at about 44-46 idle.

Here is my temps. As you can see my tmpin2 doesnt change soo I dont think its even a legit temp.

 

[Assassin48]

so 37 is idle those are pretty good temps you have the 125w phenom or the 140w

[crtecha]

I have the 125watt also my temps at that time of the screen shot I just finished running furmark so they are slightly elevated.

i would only go up to 1.5-1.55 for volts thats if temps get way too high
temps i would stay under would be 60C

i have yet to hit 51C on my 940 with 1.54 but i am on water and its summer here so i got to turn on the ac and put a fan by my computer

 

[crtecha]

Thanks I need to do some tweaking so see if I can find a sweet spot at 3.4

are you doing 200x17?

 

[crtecha]

Thats what I had it at last night. I have issues if I raise my fsb above 250mhz I think I max out at about 255.

So I've been playing with just the multi. I need to figure out my HT,NB settings just never did to much tweaking on that side. I would like to run my RAM at a higher speed. I've gotten it as high as 1000mhz and the cpu was at 3.125 I think.

 

[Assassin48]

do this
start at default
up the multi till it bsod
then give it 1 fsb and some volts
keep going till you hit the max volts you want to give it

my chip likes higher FSb then multi so iam trying diff ways of ocing this
