Just got a vapochill off ebay for $400 and ordered the 775 kit from FrozenCPU. :D:D:D
I'm really excited to set it up!
Will post OC numbers and pics after setup

sweet! another phase changer ;)
Gonna use it on your q6600?
I'm looking forward to seeing those numbers. Welcome to the world of ice. :welcome:
Yes, it will be for my Q6600, i am hoping for 4.0 daily, and 4.5 or so bench stable
i dont think the vapochill will stand up to that heatload without some mods. AFAIK stock vapochills top out about about 180w and you will be putting out 200w+
high hopes, i hope it works out but dont be too surprised if it cant handle those loads.Quote:

i think you will find the stock vapo will lose capacity under load @4ghz very quicklly.. :mad: then again it might be great :rofl:
hmm, the Q6600 is a heat beast at 4 ghz
we'll see soon enough!
Phase comes tomorrow and the socket kit on thursday, so I have a day to do some oldschool socket 478 benches :)
gah those vapos are cheap this days ..sad that I have one europe vapo LS 4 sale :mad:
Vapo waiting for me at home!
775 kit comes tomorrow :-D
congrats! :cheer:
Grab yourself an E8400 or E8500 and you'll be much happier with the speeds you can hit ;) Welcome to Phase Change, it only goes down hill from here :up:
id really like 4.0 stable on this striker 680i board or on a 790i
btw sjg0, i've had a 805 back in the day! those were kickass processors
Agreed!!!!!!!Quote:

for sure, i had the hardest time upgrading from my 805, it ran so flawlessly at 4.1ghz!
I had great times playing CS Source and other OG games with that rig, D805 at 4.1, P5WD2-E Premium, and 6800Ultra (still have all the parts!)
anyway, still modifying my Stacker 830 case to mount the vapochill unit!
ok the phase is mounted and i got pics!
temps are at idle in the bios at stock clocks

sweet now show us some benches and temp shots from within windows :thumbsup:
Those are some pretty damn nice numbers!
How did you insulate? did you grease up your board?
Also does that case naturally have a hole in bottom or did you drill a hole?
I willing to bet that you will have issues for 100% load 24/7 at anything above 3.8Ghz. :shrug:
how so?Quote:

Agree go with E8500 or E8400 (if your motherboard handle high FSB) , 4.7 ++ will be pretty easy with 1.4-1.5v , higher usually require a tone of volt , 1.6v++ for somehow stable 5 GHz+ . But i don't think that 45 nm can last long even with sub zero cooling with over 1.5v .
The clock in my sig, dos'nt bear that statement out. It's been running at 4.75ghz since January, and in fact will now run at 4.8ghz (so the cpu has got better over time).Quote:

:D by higher i meant 1.6 v + , i already killed 2xE8400 and 1xE8500 with 1.65v for about 1 month each , SS cooled with sub -30c load :D this why i suggest to stay in 1.5-1.55v as max for 24/7 . I know that each processor handle differently the voltage but it is better to be safe than sorry .Quote:

As for the price...I was actually getting a fair price at a lil over $600...but mine came with 775-LGA and moreover was Jin mod'd~!!!
Now, if I could only find a US retailer for the new Asus Rampage Extreme mb. Then I would upgrade to the QX9770, the new mb & chip would hold me over until Neh & x58; have a little bit of proven results, Asus Rog mb and lower prices if not at least msrp.
You know how retailers are always marking up prices over msrp for new stuff!?!:shrug:
On my LS I was able to run quite stable at 4.32 Ghz and even boot into Win at 4.6Ghz using a QX6850. But after some time at 4.32 ghz (several hours) the temps all of a sudden start going up ... believe it or not, if you then pick up the computer and jar it slightly things get back to normal again. It almost seems like something gets clogged up and the temps go up. I have since decided that the best stable speed where you can run it 24/7 is just over 4.1Ghz. I guess you could modify your LS to hold a higher load ... but really it is not designed for Quads from the factory.
If I were you I would keep it as is because it seems that the newer CPU's that are arriving will be perfect for the LS as is. I think the Nehalem is at exactly the sweet spot for the LS in terms of load.
Hmm good to know this, because i have been running my qx with 5.0Ghz at 1.65v at 24/7 for couple days now :). I guess is better to tune it 1.5v and lower mhz than kill 700$ cpu :PQuote:
