nb: 1.4V
sb: 1.5V
vdimm: 2.10V (using OCZ 2X2GB CL4 RAM@4-4-4-12-2T)
The rest is all at auto. They work great with 0902.
FSB is 1600Mhz with memory linked in sync mode.
see this post i put up for someone else the mobo is running @1600mhz on 1305bios HERE
the cpu is diffrent but i think the setting should be the same its only you can change your multplier to any random one lol
i think from the volt settings in the images i only had to set the sb 1.5v to get it 100% stable but the load cal is needed. also i think the gtl setting is a glitch with the mobo lol but it helps

Thanks I'll try that later. Maybe it's the loadline cal which needs to be on, but I always had it off.

I'm not sure. I've never tried to push mine higher than 4.0 as I want to stay below Intel's max VID of 1.3625V.

Ok.I´am om water and my Idle temp is 29-31celcius, Load temp is 60-65celcius (now) (1600x11=4400Mhz , 1.43v)
Forgive my bad english :)

1600x11=4400Mhz , 1.43v was not stable :(
1600x10.5=4200Mhz , 1.41v is stable :) I think ... I hope...
EDIT:
1.5 h Orhtos pass

damn thats good 4.4 with 1.4v i have to use 1.68v for that with my quad @ - 40c lol how much did your cpu cost? if you dont mind me asking

nice thats £555 in the uk,i was looking to get one but maybe not lol
i only paid £138(174euro) for my q6600 back in feb that wil have to do :rofl:

So i got my G.Skill to 1066mhz. had to up the voltage to 2.1, but still got latency at arround 60. Anyone know how to get it lower.

Watercooling the S2F
Hey everyone – thanks to all for the info in this thread. After digging through it and gleaning a lot of info from it, I am running my E8400 at 4.05 GHz with my Corsair 1GBx2 8500C5D at a linked and synced 4-4-4-12 timings using the 1305 BIOS. My Vcore is set at 1.4250 and mem at 2.2. There is plenty of head room left, but I haven’t had time to get there yet. I don’t have the pics to prove it, but here is a little info on my memory testing.
Voltage 2.3, linked and auto, FSB 1800 MHz resulted in a 1080 MHz mem frequency (5:6 ratio). 5-5-5-15-2T. Memory scores from Everest:
Read 11019 Write 9571 Copy 7688 Latency 48.4
Voltage 2.2, linked and synced, FSB 1800 MHz = 900 MHz mem frequency. 4-4-4-12-2T. Memory scores from Everest:
Read 11208 Write 9563 Copy 7173 Latency 47.3
However, the real reason for the post is to share my water cooling experience. I am using EK water blocks on the NB, SB, and Mosfets, a Swiftech Apogee GTX on the CPU, and a Swiftech Stealth (Rev 2) on my 8800 GTS (G90). As you can guess from the pics, it was not possible to fit the graphics card into the top PCI-E x16 slot. The block on the graphics card was hitting the barb on the SB block – this was without even having a tube on the SB block. Fortunately, I am not running an SLI rig yet and the chipset supports putting the card in either of the blue slots. The pics from EvoCarlos on page 48 show much more clearance on that SB water block.
My CPU temps are a little higher than I would like, so I am curious what others are getting. I used Arctic Silver 5 on all of the water blocks. My NB and SB are lower – stock was 56 and 49; they are now 47 and 36. However, my CPU core temps idle in the high 40’s and bounce off 63 when stressing the system while OC’ed to 4.05 GHz.
As far as the loop, I will start at the lower right where the Swiftech MCP655 pump is --> CPU --> 8800 GTS --> Swiftech MCR120-QP Radiator --> NB --> Mosfet 1 (left) --> Mosfet 2 (top) --> SB --> Thermochill PA 120.2 Radiator --> Pump. The “T” right before the pump goes up to the Danger Den fill port/reservoir at the top of the case. All of the tubing is Tygon ½” ID and ¾” OD. I have thought about going with 2 loops and replacing the MCR120 with a 2-pass 120.2 radiator to see how much that would lower temps. If I do, I will post the results. Hope this helps anyone thinking about watercooling their rig.

Nice cooling Waterboy8,
What Mosfets did you use?
Also do they mount right up or did you have to modfiy them, I noticed your NorthBridge is using hold downs don't EK make a NB block for this board?
Edit: think I found them,
NorthBridge EK-NB/SB5
Mosfets EK-Mosfet ASUS 3a
-
Thanks....The mosfets are the ASUS 3a blocks. The NB is actually the NB/S-Max. They installed perfectly - I didn't have to do anything to make them fit.
-
Thanks too, because I'm thinking of doing this since I have most of the parts already.

hi guys, i'm new here, here's my S2F
http://noypiwebmasters.com/test/pc003.jpg
I'm still upgrading my system, I recently bought Thermalright IFX14 and the 2 fans for the mosfet cant be included when I use my new hsf. Is there a way to cool down the chipset of nvidia?? or do you have any helpful links for lowering the heat on the chipset of S2F. thanks
-
1501 is out. Got this ftp link from the Asus forums:

i use an 80mm fan directlly over the nb heat sink it works that well i decided not to bother water cooling it :)

Installed 1501 OK. Did not notice any changes yet from 1401.

I'm very curious about the changes, if any lol... :D
-
fingers crossed it fixes my problems.... I still get lockups when watching videos and playing games with SLI enabled.

Nice rig seba....and thanks for the temps. I am going to redo a few things on my setup next week and see if I can get them lower.

THX:D I use 2 radiators, 1x120 ventilator and 2x120 ventilator;)
but there is the cold in the Poland now and there are low temperatures that is why hehe:D
-
Yeah nice seba84,
in the middle of putting mine together and ordering stuff, I have extra pumps and radiators so I'm using 2 separate loops blue for the GPU & CPU and green for the board.
This is my custom res I just made now need to make another for the board cooling on the formula.

so......
this thread is gonna move to the cooling section? j/k
im gonna post mine 2morrow and my uber stock cooling thats getting uber low temps
(for stick cooling) =P
