What kind of bleach?
is there a tutorial with that i have been looking at youtube but i see none

here is one....

http://www.maximumpc.com/article/how_to_maintain_your_water_cooling_setup
this one uses vinegar


if you google "how to clean a water cooled system"

there are a bunch of tuts"

 

[servermonkey]

Yeah or the NB temp sensor?

can u touch your nb? sb? mosfets? the hotter of the three should be it

i thinks that tmpin1 and 2 are the n/b and s/b or vice versa

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
i get the same thing for my 3870s in aod

well I just triend 3.2 Ghz but with a lower multi and higher FSB and my 3dmark score was the same. Reason is that I run the ram at 1066 when I am using the multi. But when I run a higher FSB i set my ram at 800 so that when I raise the multi my ram doesnt raise way over 1066. So right now the ram was clocked at 480MHz which is probably why I can do as good with the default FSB and a higher Multi.

Now if I keep my RAM at 1066, and up the FSB then im sure my score will be better, but That will take more DDR voltage, and we all know Tracers dont like that.

that is not a fair test.....fsb ftw!!

Updated my thread from a few post back to normal Word and not the new 2007.

Take a look and let me know thoughts and options to deal with bringing my PC8000's into the mix better.

Did all of you buy the 3dmark06 program
because i use the trial version

I didn't use a keygen

Can i dip the rads in distilled water? because they are filled with dust

nah
take an air can to those.......

 

[Assassin48]

Right now i am running my 2 rads , pump and res under distilled water




and what kind of tubing is this i thought it was carribean uv blue but now that i have a sample it dosent look like it hmm ill try it at night under the uv light if anyone knows plz tell me i need to buy it today so i can get it by friday

naw, I think the NB is the actual MOBO temp.

sensor 3 is the mosfets. but most sensors dont work anyways, mine says 22ºc regardless

 

[Chicken Patty]

Yeah my first AMD CPU was a 3700+ s939 then uped it up to a dual core 4200+ 939, then a 5000+ AM2, then a 6400+ AM2 and at the Phenom 9850.

OC all of them... Good Times, Good Times. AMD Fan here too.

oh and after the Athlon 64 3000+ I had a Athlon x2 6000+, I just dont have it with me.

ummm......that just looks like tubing to me.....carribean blue might be the liquid stuff u had in there... i unno

 

[Chicken Patty]

Here is what I got.

I cannot figure out my new PC8000 Redline memory. Tried to take it to manual instead of auto and won't post.

I think this chip can go more...more volts will help. Currently 1.45/1.45 NB.

what BIOS you on buddy?

 

[H82LUZ73]

me to

Same with my M3A79-T in the other machine says 22ºc

Guess I will just buy one for this rig.

I think TMP1 is Northbridge, TMP2 is certainly GPU (exactly same all the time), perhaps TMP3 is Southbridge? Tho TMP3 certainly goes down when my CPU temp goes down due to me setting the multi at 6x

Hmm I wonder if I sould lap my cpu?

I was thinking about lapping it too but i just decided to go with bigger tubing for more water flow and see if that helps since iam at 3.2 with around 40c on max load post some results when i install the tubing
cp posted some pics of his lapped 9850 a couple pages ago and a link to tjharlows tutorial on youtube

I have my 9950 at 3.375 and have been able to play Crysis Warhead without issue.

I am at work, but my temps idle around low 50's and top maybe mid 60's.

I am using the Xigmatek S1283 with a Noctua 120 on it.

I know these temps are higher then I would probably like, but they are not off the chart. Do you think it is worth paying around $400 for some water cooling for the cpu (if I do, will get to my 4870x2 cooling down the road) to possibly get to 3.4, 3.5ish? I see the WR is 3.9 on LN2, I think 3.8 or maybe lower 3.9 on water.

Other then pride of overclocking the crap out of this chip is it worth the investment for the couple of games I play like both Crysis at this point?

Your two cents are welcomed.

Thanks

 

[Assassin48]

i say its well worth it but thats me
i was on air when i first built this pc then decided to go with water 3 days later because it looks much cleaner plus you dont hear all the fans in my case
my 9950 is at 3.2 and the temps are around 40 never go over 43 so its pretty goodand i also have a 4870x2 on water and the temps are around 40-45 on load but thats with my current loop and tubing but they will change once the 9950 and the 4870x2 have there own rad.
ill post some pics once i finish changing up my computer



EDIT* also check around for reviews and prices i went to frozencpu.com for my water cooling supplies they have some good stuff

lets just say water cooling dropped my temps like 15ºc overall. Its def. worth it to me. You dont have to waste a lot of money neither. Swiftech has a kit with everything you need, and a heck of a kit too! for $199.99

heres a shot of my CPU temp on idle. Load is about +10ºc. Its warm in my room now too! at night i get about 2-3 ºc cooler

 

[cdnbum88]

Will the WCing get more time/years out of my chip otherwise shortened with my higher air temps?

dont konw about years, but it will help in keeping your chip alive longer, definitely.

at 1.63v my 9950 ran cooler on full load, than yours does now at idle, at much less voltage. Just a comparison so you can see the difference. Oh, and right now I am using my single 120mm fan radiator. When I upgrade the case, I'll put my Koolance dual 120mm fan radiator. That was a heck of a difference. Load will only go up about 2-3ºc, much more efficient radiator

You know we concluded tat my PSU was crap, well here are the rail stats:
+3.3V +5V +12V -5V -12V +5VSB
28A 30A 20A 0.5A 0.5A 2.0A
Any Good?
