Can you do me a biiiiiig favor?

See how high you can get it using 9x (or if you can estimate that'd work too)? EDIT nevermind found out you were using Dice not Phase...
Well what do you THINK you could go for for 24/7 operation?

I'm just interested because I already have phase, but won't pay more than what an E6600 costs. I know the board's FSB is going to be a rough thing to get over... but a retail E6600 shouldn't WANT to go much higher than 4, 4.2 for 24/7 on phase, right?

Chilly1 Single Stage
Evap read -42C in BIOS

down into the 4.3s just to make it through a 3D 05 run
couldn't tell ya where it's "truly" stable ;) ;)

mobo does 440 but NOT much more 8x 9x 10x dont matter the multi
(no mods... yet)

amazing the overlcoking with the retail box

should we take the same batch, hehe

Looking good. Put it under some water and tell us "blue-collars" what we can expect to see out of it ;)

i get the feeling there's more in there...needs a V-Core mod ... but running 1.7v+ through a 65nm Core scares me

you need to cool the chipset (put dry ice on it and you'll get almost unlimited fsb) to go for higher fsb that is the big secret of conroe.

im a collector of the exotic cooling equpment... have a G4 Storm from the VERY first batch (unstepped) had 2x.... o its pointless, if its the best , loudest, biggest , ive probably collected it (and payed through the NOSE most times :slapass: )

it might sound like a stupid idea, but...

what if i put my phase on the P5W CHIPSET, and used high end air for the CPU? do you think itd get the same/better than phase on CPU and stock chipset solution?

not sure, but you could try that if you are fsb limited it could help

heh, well, first time using phase... thats why i want to get a second opinion before i proceed to ruin my board (especially in vain) with improper mounting/insulation

Those 6800's might be useful after all :) I keep thinking "Joe, under there somewhere buried is the actual cpu"

I don't think you'd be able to clamp it down well. But I've not even seen the board.

Now that's just stupid, use some quality W/C for chipset and the SS on CPU.
The northbridge can get pretty hot but not like the CPU.

NB can get VERY hot indeed. and water doesn't have any effect on improving yields on NB. Only sub zero does to some extent.

There is a solution to that. Not too long ago, I saw a phase cooler with 3 seperate heads. One fore CPU, one for chipset, one for GPU. Now granted, it probably got maybe -15 to -20C temps at best, it's still subzero and it would still yield very good results.

This man speaks the truth. I upgraded my NB cooling and now I can hit 400+ FSB easily now. :banana:

peltier+water is a good solution if you wanna go nuts. While peltiers normally need to be super-powered to handle a hot overclocked CPU, the northbridge does not produce anywhere near as much heat. While I' not sure how much we are talking about, I doubt it could be more than 5-12 watts or thereabouts. In other words, a small inexpensive 80watt peltier should be able to bring it to sub-zero. An 80watt peltier like this
http://www.dangerdenstore.com/produc...&cat=30&page=1
will use well under 100watts even at peak, and thus could alos easily be run on your primary PSU at 12volt as long as you have a reasonably beefy one (which is usually the case for us overclockers).

So yea... theres your solution when it comes to subzero northbridge cooling. much less complex and much cheaper than a "hydra" phasecooler for sure =)

While it is a lot of effort to squeeze out a few extra Mhz, I'd guess you'd see a noticable increase compared to stock cooling at the very least.

Actually, a good pelt setup isn't much less complicated or much cheaper than a "hydra." To accomplish subzero cooling on the CPU, GPU, and rad with pelts, you'd need three pelts, a CPU block, a chipset block, a GPU block, a pump, a rad, tubing, fans, and a secondary PSU to run the pelts. That would cost roughly around $550 or so for just a decent setup. It wouldn't be possible to build a setup that would compete with a Hydra, but a high end pelt setup for CPU, GPU, and chipset would cost around $1000. A pre-build hyrda would be more expensive, yes. It would be around $1500-1600, but it would yield better temps than would be possible with a pelt setup, and it would be slightly less complicated. And if you really wanted to save some cash, you could build your own tripple-head phase cooler for around $7-800 if you really know what you're doing and where to find parts. If you're talking about JUST a chipset cooler, then yes, a pelt would be a much better idea. But if you want sub-zero on CPU, GPU, and chipset, phase is probably the best option. Or just for coolness factor, phase is the way to go. But this has really gotten off topic...
