Watered Woofdales - Speak up!

[chris.y2k.r1]

Hello Folks.

I'd like to try and gather as much info as I can on water cooled woofdales and see what people are getting out of these CPUs. I am only interested in your 24/7 settings. That means that you have stress tested your CPU and it is stable (Stable is relative ofcourse and I'm not going to get picky here - as long as you feel it's stable that's good enough for me. As a rule of thumb - it should never crash any apps or OS).

All I am looking for is the basics. CPU temp at idle and maximum (No need to list each core). The temp program is important since the reading can differ by 10c from program to program. Vcore and the speed you are running at. Also the CPU block wold be appreciated. So, without further delay this is what I'm looking for:

CPU: E8400
Frequency 500x9 4.5Ghz
Vcore 1.6 :shocked:
Idle Temp 38 (Using Real Temp)
Max Temp 60 (Real Temp with Stress provided by OCCT)
Swiftech Apogee GT

Addition Info can be found in sig (System #1)

I would be so grateful to anyone who takes the time to reply. Thank you, I really guenuinely appreciate your time.

My brother has his at 4 gigs and folding the smp client 24/7.

Its the x3110.

1.6 volts is very high for a 24/7 rig on the 45nm chips. With good cooling you might get there, but you'll be seriously shortening it's lifespan.

If you're fine with that, then more power to you, but I wouldn't run that high 24/7.

Plus, from what I've seen, most of the motherboards are hitting the wall around 460-475mhz on non-subzero cooling setups.

Your milage may vary of course.

I head your. I know it's a lot of juice. It's been this way for 3 months no probelm. It passed OCCT 6 hours and I stoipped it but I'm going to test further. Even so, I have only seen 60c as my highest temp. I have some very serious water running in this system though. Over 700GPH and I'm about to bump that to over 2000 :D Just waiting on my new pump to arrive. At that point I'm going to have to make sure my hose connections are solid because those pressures will blow the lines right off it they aren't tight and right. Now high flow doesn't net much better cooling after a certain point however it does cool better you just get into the point of diminishing returns. I'll betcha that I can get the CPU down to about 50c under load at 1.6v with an isolated CPU loop at about 1500GPH. Add active water cooling like a small AC unit and I could do even better.... time will tell.

Yeah, I've heard noithing over 1.45 volts - we'll see what happens over time. I'll report my honest to goodness findings.

Nice Chip.

Damn...1.6v = 45nm = Balls of Steel....lol
