Now, we gotta see how far this A64 will go. I'll post pics later.
 
Pics. So far stable at 2400mhz. Next stop 2500mhz.

Windows wouldn't load at 2500Mhz with vcore at 1.6, so backed it down to 2460Mhz and upped vcore to 1.7 and looks stable so far.

The max my Vcore can go is 1.8, should I just put it here and then see how far it will go?
 
I would, your temps are more than cool enough. Just go for the max, no guts, no glory............ :D
 
1/2": Check
Worm drive clamps: Check
Heatercore: Check
Vantec stealth fan: Check

Reservoir: ?

Almost finished ;)
 
Spiff, I was wondering what accelerator nozzle you used, did you try more than one? I'll set mine up in two weeks I was wondering if you could share your experience.
 
Hey I'm Spiff's bro and previously he was using the Zalman 7000cu which was a little too loud for his liking. He didn't mess around with the accelerator nozzels at all. He just used the stock one that came in it.
 
I need some water cooling. I am at 2430mhz right now from 1.8 on my 2800+, running air, stock cooler even. I want to get some water so I can see what this thing can really do;)
 
1.8v is way too high man. What are your load temps?

I'd seriously back that down on air.

lol, I ment 1.8ghz was the starting point. Voltage, I am running 1.7, idle temps are about 30-36c depending if the wind blows from the west(my windows are drafty). load temps are 53-56. I need to get wter cooling but finding the copper is proving to be challanging.
 
I've been very happy with my TDX as well. So far, my Athlon FX-51 has been able to run 2.5GHz stable. Highest I was able to get on air was about 2.36GHz, which I can now run at 1.5V core with the water. Idle temps are around 86°F and load about 96°F.
 
The best Nozzle to use for the max performance has been nozzle #4 as per Dangerden and several reviews that I have read. I can tell you that it does make a difference from first hand use as well.

The Capt.
 
What review did you read that in? I'm getting my TDX in later this week and would like to know which nozzle is better.

Cant seem to find the rewiew that I was gonna link, but even in my conversation with The folks at Danger Den this is what they have tested as the best performing nozzle and what they recomended to me to get the most out of my TDX was the #4.

The Cpt.
 
Yea its pretty good. I just installed mine yesterday. I was getting about 41C idle with the xp-90. now im using the TDX with BIP and 120mm panaflo L1A on a fan controller. At slowest speed im getting 34c idle. It will get better as the AS5 cooks in. Mobo is a neo2 plat btw.
 
hey Spiff thats a really nice looking setup you have there i hope to have one just like it soon
