Is that stable for you? Also what are your temps?

Stable enough to run prime95, and 3dmark through a full run temp reaches ~70c under full load as you can see voltage wasn't that high.. only 1.45v Idle temp is around 30c in a 25c room

Now is that core? If so then i take it my heat sink is doing just fine.

Honestly not sure, it's the CPU reading in the latest version of Cpuid HWMonitor. Whichever that is reading core or socket.

Oh and FYI in your system specs.. the fx-8320/50 series is a Piledriver not a Bulldozer
Bulldozer was the 8100 series.

About the Heatsink it's apples and oranges, my HSF is a downdraft type running a high cfm fan that not only cools my CPU but also the memory, vrms on the MB below it. That and my case I've got tons of airflow.

 

[Johan45]

Just recently got an FX-8320 building a new system after my PSU failed taking out the old MB with it, 4870 went not too long after. So I was forced to build the system in my specs. Here's the best OC I've managed on air so far but I didn't got too far on the voltage.



BTW Can I join the Club... was in the Phenom club, but no longer own a phenom

PS: the temp in that validation is under load, I was running Prime95 when I validated

That's a decent clock for that CPU and voltage, Nice!

Are you 100% sure that it is stable and not throttling? You have one of the dreaded Rev 3.0 boards like I do, the power section is dookie and throttles like a B. Best that I could get was 4.4 before it started throttling cores back. While stress testing, right click inside the CPU-Z window to bring up the core list and just watch the speeds as it Primes. If it's throttling, you'll see sporadic drops in speed across various cores.

Absolutely sure I disabled all throttling options in the BIOS and my HSF keeps the mosfets nice and cool. I don't run at that speed normally though it's nice to know I could If I wanted to. Not sure just how good it is on air though.

.

The CPU reading is the socket temp and the package is the core temp on the CPU when using HWMonitor.

'ssup people? Long time has passed, doesn't it?

Need to know something as usual: decided to go for another liquid cooling kit, cause found some reviews that show that this kit is better & cheaper than H2O-320 Elite. This kit: http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/xsra750rxwak1.html Will still set me off considerable amount of cash, but according to reviews it's cheaper & quieter than 320 Elite & the only downside of it is it'll take a bit more time to install in chassis than 320 Elite. Tell me cause tomorrow or next Sunday I'm going to buy either of these 2 & have to know from any of you how's this XSPC kit really works. Cheers, keep headbangin'!!!!

I think you'd be better off with that raystorm kit, I quite often recommend the starter kits over the AIOs. They're flexible, usually good quality and you can add and remove parts when needed. The pump looks decent well at least the flow does at 750 Lph. Good move yutja

I'm about to buy this XSPC myself.

Wish I had the extra 60 to get that one.

That's a good kit, at least from everything I've heard.

I'm also checking out how to install the kit in my case (HAF 932), haven't thought about tubes, coolant & fans for it though: what coolant, tubes & fans will you recommend? Tubes & coolant i'll get from Gary (sidewindercomputers guy), fans - from PC store in my city. Thanx for info & cheering up man, regardless.

Good luck man, probably good choice too. What clock do you intend to reach? 4.8GHz? 5.0GHz? Cheers, keep headbangin'.

If you're getting that kit it comes with 3 x 120 fans, tubing and some biocide looks like all you'd need is some distilled water. It also appear to be plenty of room in the top of that case for the rad even in push pull. You'd lose the bays at the front most likely but it'll fit.

Yeah, just checked again, comes with PT Nuke; about tubing: 2 Meters of Clear 7/16″ Hose - that one? And as for res: according to some forums I checked few got lucky or actually installed res with no probs in front bay of 932.

 

[Johan45]

It looks like it'll take up two bays hence the name dual bay res/pump and if I'm not mistaken that 932 has 7, 5.25" bays , no?

6 5.25" bays actually & one of them is already occupied with ASUS DRW-20B1LT DVD-RW drive. Will still have room for this bay res. The case have hole for fillport & according to vid over YouTubes I checked it fits nearly perfect the bay res's fillport. Got myself covered. Well atleast i hope i do.

*EDIT*

Got the "Email Me When Back In Stock" option when decided to purchase this Raystorm 750 RX360 kit & [un]surprisingly all Swiftech's stuff is in stock. Visited the FrozenCPU site, no kits, only groups of sh*t like separate blocks/res's/tubing/etc.... Clicked the "Email Me When Back In Stock" option, how long it'll take? Next week i hope i'll have it just ordered. Gotta email Gary, wanna read his answer bout it.

 

[Johan45]

That's a bummer, I know frozencpu has kits though, here's a page http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g59...C_Water_Cooling_Kits-XSPC_Kits_360-Page1.html They also have kits from different manufacturers.

@sneekypeet has an Alphacool kit with a D5 pump in his FS thread for $150 shipped ($290 retail)

EX360 & RX360 - any difference between two in performance & how each compares to H2O-320 Elite? Man, this liquid cooling sh*t needs way too much attention. And the prices, 209.99$ is max I'm willing to pay seriously man. I'd stay with SideWinderComputers, but thanx for suggestion. I'll google the AX360 & EX360 reviews though, that's given.

2Norton:

209.99$ is my budget. Nice looking kit regardless, 3 or 2 fans rad?

 

[sneekypeet]

It is a 240mm rad, but it is also triple the thickness of most others, so you will get triple rad performance with less length. The thickness may create its own issues though.

I also assume from the way you write out US dollars in your text, that you are not in the States either are you?

We'll see what my temps are and go from there.

I would have gotten yours if I had known about it. But alas they have already shipped my XSPC Kit.

Clearance shouldn't be the issue with HAF 932. Though i have to admit i don't know if the res will fit in front bay, would like to know: case have the hole for fillport above all 5.25" bays (you probably know it), will really suit me if it does.

Yeah, in Israel. I got used to type/write it just like that, sum & watermark right after another/without space. Why'd you ask? Good stuff you sell there regardless, good luck.

P.S. Like i said - 209.99$ is my budget, tops. Below it? Much better. lol Cheers, keep headbangin'!

*EDIT*

Johan45 - what liquid other than default liquid do I need from AX360's FrozenCPU page? None? Any? I think i'm not gonna wait til i get email from SideWinderComputers & just get the kit from FrozenCPU. XSPC EC6 Coolant - 1L Blood Red & Free Dead-Water Biocidal Drops (default distilled additive) or just plain Dead-Water?

Hi!

I have AMD FX-8320 @ 5033Mhz (vcore = 1.392V)
18/19°C IDLE / 35°C Load Temp (with Corsair H110 cooling)



I have replaced corsair 140mm fans by 2x Akasa Viper 140mm,
lateral fans 2x Akasa Viper 140mm, under the tower 1x Akasa Piranha,
and 1x corsair AF120 for HDD cage. My 500R with 10 fans in PWM set with Speedfan

Stable OC 24/7

I get my loop kit today. I'm guess its the low temps that help keep it stable? Because I need 1.4 just for 4.3 ghz. Granted each chip is unique that is quite a difference. I'll do some extensive testing once my loop is all setup.

CPU Load temp = 35°C max (but radiator 67/70°C).
Currently temperatures climate warms with the arrival of summer.
I monitor the cpu temperature but not exceeding 35 ° C; I think the vcore difference is due to the motherboard and ventilation air of the case.
140mm Akasa Viper airflow is 110CFM for each fan which contributes to a good flow of air in the case.

edit: Ambient air 30°C in my room. In case of temperature rise I have a conditioned air colone can refresh the air admitted from the side.

edit²: For this summer : I think I have 2x120mm instead of below the radiator. For Push-Push with the AIO Corsair H110; check but it must pass ^^ The 140mm is not possible they abut against the memory modules of motherboard.
