Will WCing be needed for Conroe?

[Shpoon]

Or will the benefits be almost purely for quietness?

[Haltech]

Im sure overclocks would go higher.. Ive yet to had a h20 quieter than an aircooled system. I just hate the heat dump air cooling brings to the case.

[Absolute_0]

Watercooling will definitely not be needed. It really helps most when you run at high volts, and so far i've been seeing 1.58v on air and no more, so depending on the motherboard you may not even be able to supply enough volts for watercooling to make a significant difference.

[M.Beier]

Ofcause..

Btw.. How the phuk did you came up with that title !? :S
WC, watercoolin' aint the first thing crossin' my mind..

So basically, you'd only do it for silence/whatever, rather than true overclocking?

Hmm...

Fake Edit: Btw, would a Nf4 chipset cooler fit a nf5?

Bad axe reports 55C full load temps on TT BT @ default volts, although heatpipes are only a bit warm.

[Absolute_0]

That does sound hotter than i anticipated kiwi, what idle temps?

I remember FCG mentioned that these chips aren't extremely temperature sensitive though.

[theteamaqua]

for air cooling wouldnt the HPCS tech station be a good case :)

and shouldnt the DFI mobo be overclocker's must have boards?? i heard there r 4 of them coming with conroe support, and 3 of them before july 23

Edit: it should provide us enuff voltage to crack 5 GHz :), i dunno, cos DFI has been good for OC, i dont what i will do without it

"Will WCing be needed for Conroe?"... WCing, WTF :\

[Absolute_0]

WC is an abbreviation just like WTF
:)

[theteamaqua]

WCing = water cooling , right?? just to be sure we are talking about the same thing

[Eclipsed]

I don't think it will hurt anything. 59C makes me cringe, so watercooling would be a good idea but not necesary.

[Shpoon]

"Will WCing be needed for Conroe?"... WCing, WTF :\

Ya, WC = water cool, followed by " 'd", "ed", or "ing".

Sorry for the confusion, I was being lazy ;p

Edit: Gotta resize my avy :/

[theteamaqua]

well its better than the air cooling, like Bigtyphoon, and if u get a 120 mm fan radiator its gonna be quiet, should be able to reach 4Ghz with X6800 and a DFI mobo

[kiwi]

Idle temps are around 40C but I am pretty sure board reports wrong. Same on water.

[CedricFP]

At any rate, water should help with overclocking regardless, whether it is controlling temps better or allowing for higher clocks, or both.

I sure as hell know that I ain't getting rid of my loop once Conroe arrives.

I'm just wondering if the Apogee will fit.

yeah i tihnk they have apogee for LGA775, if it works for Prescott, then it should work with Conroe

If you have ever been to Europe you would probably understand.

WC = Toilet

Exactly.. :\

Thought, uhm does this chip needs to get flushed... - No more MIB (Men In Black) for me :p:

[Shpoon]

Let's try to get back ontopic...but...really? Is WC an abbreviation for something? W_ _ _ crapper?

Definitely, it's all about socket compatibility. The dimensional difference between a Prescott, Smithfield or Presler vs. Conroe is negligible.

What sucks about having an Apogee, though, is that is performs better on larger die cpu's.

Conroe is getting smaller due to the smaller fab process (65nm) (right?) so therefore my block is going to perform worse...

I might try get a G4.

[Garrett]

OMG... ppl thought this was about a toilet?

O RLY? :D

[BadlyDrawnBoy]

water closet

[stone_cold_Jimi]

W.C. is a quaint old term meaning "water closet". The air equivalent is a "thunder box". I'm sure that these and computer terms must be interchangable somewhere.

[g.l.amour]

a good wc setup will definetely be very quiet. my setup (2 HC, dd maze2) has its loudest component in the psu (which is already modded to have a slower turning fan). that is 3.2 p4 @ 3.8 - 1.7V full load 40°C

[Fixxxer]

I think no watercooling will be needed. I never needed watercooling. I use aircooling for 24/7 and dry ice/LN2 when I'm feeling extreme.:p:

Conroe is a fresher CPU so I'm not going to use watercooling now. :D
