Maybe it’s just me, but I noticed that when I overclock my Prescott, I see more variations in the vCore voltage. The motherboard says it should be 1.51, but motherboard monitor and cpu-z show between 1.36 and 1.45 when the cpu is under load. I’ve even seen it drop as low as 1.33 when doing...

As far as leaks go, is it safer to go with phase cooling? I was always concerned about a hose leaking and shorting out some expensive stuff with water cooling. I understand phase cooling to be made of much stronger material due to the pressure, but what would come out of it did leak? Would it...

I finally got the finances to upgrade my cooling. I've got an IC7-Max3 with a 3.0GHz Prescott running stable at 3.85GHz (1.56 vcore) with OCZ DDR500 on 1kg of heat piped copper and just about a turbine for a fan. It runs about 72 C under full load. I'm shooting for a 4.4GHz system once my 3.4...
