I have been thinking about upgrading my rig to watercooling for sometime now and have read some articles and tips but still have some doubts. So if any pros can give some tips it would be great as I’m still quite noob at it.

Have bought the following for watercooling:
Laing DDC-Pump 12V DDC-1Plus (MCP 355)
EK-DDC X-TOP V2 - Plexi G1/4
EK-FC285 GTX - Nickel
EK-Multioption reservoir 400

Ordering the following:
Watercool HEATKILLER® CPU Rev3.0 1366 (What is the difference in LT and LC version?)
Still dunno what radiator to use... any recommendations? either 3x120mm or 3x140mm

Hi, i am thinking of upgrading my cpu and mobo but donno if i should buy a processor with higher speed (3.33GHz) or a processor with lower speed (like 2.5,2.8GHz) and overclock it to higher speed (like 3.30GHz). Will there be any problem if i use the overclock cpu normally (eg: leaving it 24/7, surf internet, play games etc)? Which options is better? Thanks

First 5hrs with cpu. Quickie tests done and I must say these W3570 3847A696 are overclocking beasts! To be able to get screenshots and validation @4911-4966Mhz HT enabled with 1.45v bios (1.440v idle) vcore is crazy!

Temp and vcore at 4ghz (1.184v) wise, it's pretty similar to my W3520 3845A935. It's definitely cooler than my hotter W3540 3845B010 but not as cool as my i7 920 3845B260 (coolest cpu I've got).

System:
  • Intel Xeon W3570 3847A696
  • EK Supreme LT 1366 / FESER 480 / MCP655

Unlocked cpu multiplier is alot of fun :D

I'm looking to start wcing for my new com but since its my first time, i need some help in planning e loop =) im looking to do a dual loop. ive been reading up but still blur on some parts :confused2

planned specs are as follow:
Mobo: EVGA x58 3-way classified
CPU: i7 920
RAM: corsair dominator gt(black/red) (still searching :D)
GFX: 5870 (can someone reccomend manufacturer)
PSU: corsair hx1000 but ive read some complaints that e psu fan may have probs. any suggestions?
Case: TJ07 (will be doing some cutting here and there)
etc etc

looking to cool my cpu, mobo, gfx. wc setup would mainly consist of:
heatkiller 3.0 (anyone selling?/where to get?)
ek x58 classified chipset waterblock
gfx waterblock: someone reccomend a good one? :D
tubing: 1/2" tygon black tubing or primochill black tubing. which one is better btw?
fittings: looking at e nice new black bitspower barbs/compression fittings
reservoir: ek multioption res 250mm x 2
rad: thermochill 120.2 and 120.3
fans: some reccomendations? prefer all black ones tyty =) noise nt much of an issue although silent ones wld be a bonus
pump: mcp 355 with res top/mcp655 which one recommended?

basically all these are wat i plan on getting so im planning early to avoid any mess ups ltr.
for a dual loop like that wld i need 2 pumps? some suggestions on hw i shld link up all these.

e.g.
1st loop: res>pump>cpu>chipset>rad (120.3)>res
2nd loop: res pump>gfx>rad(120.2)>res

e hardware has been finalised except for e gfx. if theres any reason i shld nt be getting e 5870 then pls offer me a suggestion as well :P im quite concerned that the 2 rads + fans would nt fit into e lower compartment of e tj07 since e thermochills are rather wide frm wat ive read. any issues on e space here? planning to do 2 intake 3 exhaust. thats all i can think of fr nw. any other suggestions /comments wld be appreciated.

Thanks for taking e time to read this super long post

my AMD Phenom II x3 720BE could go up to 3400MHz (200*17) @ 1.45Vcore for 2 hours of OCCT.

Motherboard used Asus M4A78-EM & Asus M4A785D-M PRO, PSU is ANDYSON G480W.
Stock cooler or CoolerMaster Hyper N520 also the same, core temperature did not exceed 60°C.

I observed from the OCCT graph, is it possible that the main culprit comes from the PSU as the Vcore fluctuate quite a lot and the voltage displayed in OCCT doesn't match the setting in BIOS.

Intel 1156 i7-860 / MSI P55-GD80 / Antec CP850W PSU / TRU12E Cu LE /
WinXP 32bit / Win Server '08 64bit




Did a range of timings on them.

Threre are 2 things i need to know

1. Can this board run 2x2gb kingston hyperX ddr2 1066mhz as the website doesn't say so.(currently running 2x1gb)

2.This board can overclock to 1366mhz but when i look at the list the website provided, it shows a ddr2 1200mhz which is no longer selling overclock to 1366, my question is can i overclock 1066mhz to 1366mhz?

It paid off to individually test all 6x 2GB A-Data 2000X modules and sort out the problematic module #3 as now it's sorted out, clocking 12GB - 6x2GB config is so much easier, straight into 12GB A-Data 2000X @DDR3-1702Mhz 6-7-6-24 at 1.62v. Kept CMD Rate at auto for 2T just for starters.

Stable for Super Pi 32M at least. Need to work on HyperPi 8x32M tommorrow :)
