This will be my first venture in to phase but there are a few things i need to know before i start. first how long can the final cooling line to the cpu be, if at all possible i would like to have the unit in my basement with my water cooling setup. also i hit 3.66 on water with an e6420@1.55v...
i'm runnin 3666 @ 1.55 volts in bios which shows up as 1.5 in windows. the question is wether its the voltage or the heat that hurts the chip mine idles @ 35 and loads at 36. which board are you runnin? i have a ga-650sli-ds4 now that replace my old ds3 i have absolutly no cold boot issues now.
GA-650SLI-DS4
in widows/locks orthos 1.65 v @4000
really love this mb i can leave the ram alone and clock away...
processor is currently @3.66 with 1.5v after droop set at 1.55 in bios
think i can beat dnottis if i dump some ice in the water cooler ...
there are some big holes though.
3666 @1.55 v 7 hours orthos stable
lapped cpu and block dropped temps 4 degrees c idle and almost 10 c load
i am a believer
runnin currently @ 3400 1.4 volts 32 idle 50 load
hrmmm seems stable enough.. on water cooling 650sli-ds4. very large gap between idle and load, any idea why? i have an e6300 that only varied 10 degrees @3150. i am running at 1.55 v shows 1.53 in.
