A rebadged 1000w Xilence PSU. Yeah I was asking for everything I got, but funds were tight and this psu got the job done for nearly 2 years.
Will be looking at getting an 850 or 1000HX this time round.
Yes it the XSPC RX360
Blend stays around 55c I forgot to check the NB at load, but it idles at 42c and the
5850 stays at 41c in Furmark:eek: that is amazing to me.
What PSU where you using? Odd to have them blow from an overclock.
Opps, just seen your post.
NoGuru,very nice WCing build.looks like andressergios and yours and mine are family.
all gigabyte,all blue and all look great.
Agreed, HX850 (or 1000 if you've got the room). I've heard the 850 can manage up to 1000 anyway so probably a little more bang for your bucks ;)
@NoGuru - nice - the XSPC rads are probably the only worthy competitor to the thermochills from what I've read, and the big fins are great if you're after a quieter setup, plus the price is reasonable. I think my XSPC pump is probably suffering a little now though, so I'm thinking of going for a dual loop reservoir and a single laing pump next. After that I may build on a bit more GFX cooling and mosfets when my USB3P arrives. I think I've fathomed a way to fit it all in and around the case and can probably make room for another 240 rad at least, but it's so heavy already I probably won't be able to lift it with yet more addons & water!
I need help getting my E8500 to 4.275ghz, my EP45-UD3R is using the F12 BIOS
i can run prime95 for about 10 minuets until one core stops, and the highest CPU core temp is 63cCode:MB Intelligent Tweaker(M.I.T.)

in the BIOS for Extreme Memory Profile i have Auto, profile2, and disable. No profile1 unless disable is profile1
*10 minutes later*
Those BIOS settings give the the blue screen after windows starts to load
*10 minutes later*
i changed the MCH ref to .760 and i booted into windows and im running prime95 now
well pime95 failed after a few minutes so i started to try other settings, after getting blue screen after blue screen i just went back to my 9.5x422 4Ghz settings.
did u use my settings mate ?
remember that you have to set .785 CPU REF and .80 MCH and put VTT 1.2 then up just VTT to the value you want letting other change alone
you have to try skews
800/800/0/50
900/900/0/50
800/900/50/100
seek wich fits best for ya
MCH on 1,4 if you are pushing
vdimm a bit overvolted
and NO extreme , just use STANDARD to try then you have time to put TURBO
try CUSTOM BLEND 8k to 8k at first if it passes that
go blend all. if fails...notch vcore
Cheers hope it helps :up:
Fan controller is installed.:D
Give this a try.

Looking good :up:
this is very frustrating o/c in hot summer days is a pita. Just got a new USB3P and man the idle temp for my q6600 is 58-60'C. Even with a/c on is like 53-55'C. Seeing how you guys clock above 3.8ghz is crazy.
Thanks, Im not good at keeping track of old settings but this should be pretty close for the 5.0 spi 1m and 4.95 wprime 1024 water runs.

A lot better but still a little high for those volts. Is your CPU/cooler surface flat? If you remove the block, is the paste unevenly spread?
