Yeah, I cleaned it out. Anyways I drained it and remixed the Hydrx. It is fine now and looks cool.

Anyways, I am having a bigger problem. After leak testing for about 5 hours, I put it in my computer. Now my computer just restarts every 3 secs. Nothing is leaking I looked everywhere to see if it was and nothing. Dry as a desert. I have a gigabyte UD5. Anybody know why this may be happening?

You could have a short. Make sure there are no metal components touching. Check your plugs as well.

My worst fear.I found a small bit of water under one of the pci slots. What should I do now? It's a very very small amount.

blTb · May 2, 2009

I'm sure i can get better results w/ good air/water cooling. Just don't wanna burn my CPU before getting one

will 940 justify it's price ?!? oh wait... 1.52 V

all i did was swap out my 920 that has been crunching for 4 weeks. i havent had the chance to adjust anything else. i think it would run that at 1.45 or so no problem.

i got this 940 free so cost isnt an issue.

we'll see soon if its worth it.

im ONLY testing on air but i think it'll to 4.7ghz or so.

Shut off the electricity to the board and get out the hair dryer. Allow it to dry on med-low heat for a few minutes. Air drying will be better than using towels/paper towels.

Remove your loop and test for leaks longer my friend. Try placing the loops in odd angles to see where it's leaking from.

DONT use additives. STRAIGHT distilled water guys. nothing else.

Finally my new computer is done.
Performance is just crazy, comparing to my previous builds!
Didn't want to push my baby too far(i'm still using stock cooling), but anyway it's almost 20KMarks!!!

nice build

N4cot1c · May 2, 2009

Weirdly it wasn't the water that did it. Something about bolting it down too tightly was causing the problem. Anyways, it's alive and I am running at a cool 26C

N4cot1c · May 2, 2009

OK it did it again. And there is NO water from what I can see.

no offense, and no pun intended, I love AMD and I had an AMD rig. I will have another one soon, just got rid of mine because I needed the money.

But I still get amazed more and more everyday by the performance of the i7. THis is running 4 threads only, with everything you see open and running. WCG was paused.

The only Phenom II that is faster than me is Sno.lcn which was on LN2, and CDAwall which I dont know what it was on. However im sure nothing was open and it was a do or die run at 4.5 Ghz. While my run was done with a ton of apps and folders open as you will see below. ALso it was my daily settings of 4GHz which I have been running for over 200 hours of crunching, and daily use for over 2 months.

# sno.lcn - Phenom II 940 - 5616 MHz – 6.960 - Quickest AMD
# Yukikaze - Core 2 Extreme QX9775 0000 MHz - 7.250 - Quickest Socket 771
# sno.lcn - Core 2 Extreme QX9650 5235 MHz - 7.270 - Quickest Socket 775
# hoss331 - Core 2 Quad Q9650 4897 MHz - 7.719
# cdawall - Phenom II 955 - 4503 MHz - 8.516

Chicken Patty · May 2, 2009

here is a run at the same scenario as above, only that I set the thread count to 8.

Fitseries3 · May 2, 2009

mlee49 · May 2, 2009

Nice fit, I just ran 3D06 at 4.0GHz and a 9600GT and got 13k, woot for me!

PaulieG · May 2, 2009

I just sold my 3rd and last CO. I've got a 920 DO coming Wednesday!!

N4cot1c · May 2, 2009

I just had some grounding problems. Everything is fine now. Infact I am typing to you guys right now with it.

Fitseries3 · May 2, 2009

940 is a POS.

wont do over 200bclk.

N4cot1c · May 2, 2009

It's a start right?

Fitseries3 · May 2, 2009

too small

Tatty_Two · May 2, 2009

See if you can enable HT and maintain those volts.

N4cot1c · May 2, 2009

I'm going to work on lowering the volts.

4 u tatty.

I can go lower, but i'm just trying to figure things out here. For sole reason the bios says im rtunning at 34c and realtemp says otherwise.
