H20 | AMD Phenom II C3 | Dragon's Revenge | Ultimate Thread

It was done. Now it comes forth from the ashes seeking its revenge.

That many came to Simon's aid. Phenom II C2 on H20.

But now a new threat rises from the east. The Dragon has shown its new FANGS.

Many have tried, many have decended to the coldest depths known to the Universe and broken 7GHz! But what can we do only with the basic elements? Wind and Water against Fire and Ice?

Lend aid, if you dare. And I call on those who showed their metal before to try once more. To aid in your battle, you may find the latest AMD Overdrive 3.1 here.

Chapter 1 of 2 begins here and ends on page 11

Do thus with Dragon's new Fangs, C3 REVISION, and post here:

Fixed multiplier challenge. This is cruel and unusual punishment for you and your hardware. Participation at your discretion. Cold AIR & H20. Take advantage of cold weather. Encourage aggressive DRAM frequency & CAS.

Quick and dirty Air..

Well I had 40 mins to play with this, and here it is. I am moving to my new water setup after I get home from work. Lunch went way to fast.

I forgot to get a bag of ice, so I just filled the bucket with cold water from the tub and stuck the little RAD in it. Will run again when I get some ice for my cooler.

Win 7 64bit, 6GB DDR3, Gigabyte MA790FXT-UD5P, Apoge GT H2O kit.

30mins into Prime95

So true...so true...

Anyways, my setup should be up in a few weeks, I'll do something around that time. Not necesarily cold air, but good air nonetheless. 19-20c ambient...

Can I be in on this if I buy one?? I believe he needs info from everybody who has a C3 cpu. Also do I have to be running DDR3 or can I do it on my current Asus M3A79T Deluxe?

msi gd70 + c3 965 @ 4.1Ghz

Cpu voltage is 1.50v in bios, but 1.46v effective under load. I replaced my original Silent Eagle fans with two 3500rpm Delta fans for some extra cooling power.

:p: Dude DDR2 is for noobs.. LOL j/k. I think it just has to be 965 C3. Any board should work I think.

I will be doing some air test yes, but I am moding my water setup today. It should do pretty well.;)

Edit: My water setup is complete. Can't wait to give it a go. All air is out of the system and the water block is very very cold.....

hey, does anyone know what could be added to alcohol to aid in lubrication? and could sustain extreme temps? Just a thought:p:

Hmm, I work for the airlines and I can get some pretty strong glycol.......I think good to -60 to -40 I believe:yepp:

We use it for anti icing the aircraft,We coat the wings before takeoff to prevent ice and snow buildup. I think its 100% glycol its a bit thick, and can be mixed with water to get a more liquid substance.

Not sure about mixing it with Alcahol?

I had some strange ideas..for cooling that is. I want something that won't freeze yet still can run through my water cooling setup :p:.

well how cold?? if you are talking about cold winter air (-20-+10 then yes glycol with water at 40/60 or 50/50 ratio mix will do it.
