It's designed to beat out air cooling systems and not other water systems. It does that and it does it reliably. It will sell those mainstream folks that want to get something nice and quite that works and isn't going to require at least 1 or 2 high cfm fans which tend to be noisy. I'd consider one myself if I wasn't already looking into doing a CPU/GPU loop and a new Water setup for my case.Quote:

what if someone were to try and perfect the base of this one, think it will do any better?Quote:

They want hassle free and quick installation yet get good performance for the buck
And for that this H50 might be the way to go. Did you get your new review sample yet? I can't wait for your results.Quote:

Our maximum 24/7 overclock using our cooler selection with the i7 920 D0 resulted in a 4.62GHz clock speed at a respectable 220 Bclk. The 6GB Patriot memory kit is set to DDR3-1760 at 7-8-7-20 1T timings. The primary voltage settings were 1.38V Core VID, 1.41V VTT, 1.85V PLL, 1.65V VDimm, and PCIe at 105MHz. We tried to enable basic power management options (SpeedStep/CState) so idle Core VID voltages could be reduced to the 1.18V range, but we just could not do it and maintain stability at this setting compared to other boards we have tested.

Maybe there is a typo,not 4,6 but 3,6?:shrug:Quote:

4.6 stable ? pretty hard to believe, as those CPU's are rare, 4.2-4.4 range is doable, more, I still have to see myself with some good screenshots...not everest benchmarks, those can be achieved on a very unstable platform with ease... Give me some Superpi 32mb or even better Hyperpi... let's talk again then...
