Le golden chip. If only I had been so lucky ><. I got a real shitter, can't do linpack above 4.9ghz ;/. O wells. guess i'll just have to live with it for the next 10 years. Probably won't build a PC like this again when this one gets outdated, ya never know if you are gonna get sold a shitty chip or not which makes it really hard to invest into high end memory kits and custom watercooling. Like, i'd be livid if I had spent all that money on custom watercooling to only *maybe* get 5g linpack stable. Thankfully I only spent 200 dollars on cooling. How much did you spend total on custom watercooling to get 5% more gflops than me? around 500 USD for a waterblock/pumps/rads/tubing/fittings etc?
If only.
Black Ice Nemesis GTR560 = $200
Noctua NF-A14-iPPC2000 @$22.50 x 8 = $180
Heatkiller IV Pro Nickel w/backplate= $91
RockitCool direct die kit = $30
XSPC D5T Vario @$77 x 2 =$154
XSPC dual D5 dual bay reservoir =$90
Koolance flowmeter and adapter = $43
Tygon A-60-G = $120 (bought a 50ft. box)
Koolance QDH4 female disconnect @$16.50 x 2 = $33
Koolance QDH4 male disconnect @$13.50 x 2 = $27
Miscellaneous wiring, connectors, terminals, sleeving, clamps, fittings, screws = $75 (guesstimate)
Over $1000 USD.
None of this includes taxes or freight charges.

Like, i'd be livid if I had spent all that money on custom watercooling to only *maybe* get 5g linpack stable with my cpu. Thankfully I only spent 200 dollars on cooling. How much did you spend total on custom watercooling to get 5% more gflops than me? around 500 USD for a waterblock/pumps/rads/tubing/fittings etc? more than that? Did you also spend money on a direct die bracket + delid tool? Getting that extra 5% performance sounds REALLY costly, like more than the cost of the cpu itself.
Whats the highest your chip will do in linpack *without* unconventional cooling aka putting your rad in the window? lol. Just regular good ol rad inside your case without an open window or house a/c on.
5300+ if I add bclk, with ambients ~25°C will get CPU package temperature in mid-90°C.
Radiator is external.
