So true. I tried the pump on a different header now and even there, I can't control its speed. One of my PWM fans works like a charm though. Guess I'll have to send it back for RMA.

First a...

I'll give it a try, thanks! This board is supposed to be able to control all headers, and for each there's a choice between voltage an PWM control. The header I used was supposed to be a specific...

No. I tried several headers, but I'm afraid the cable isn't long enough for that. As I never had any PWM stuff before, I don't have any extension cables or such...

Hey! Thanks.

Yes, the board has software and there's an option to do it within bios. Both settings don't change the pump speeds at all, though.
I tried different headers and, as far as I'm aware,...

Stumbled across this thread with an issue that is more-or-less in the same area.

I've always used DDC pumps and lately, as I got "older", I liked to decrease their noise by throttling their speed...

The X370 K4 isn't bad so far. Lots of options and good bios support. Even here, the VRM area gets hot though.

Thanks for your work & commitment! I'm looking forward to your special procedure :)

If it were free, yes. It's not worth the hassle and effort anymore though. You gain nothing and pay lots of money still.

But it's safe to say that as long as there's no artificial limit within the bios, and the card stays below 70?C, there's no advantage of spending money on better cooling, right?

I'm using a...

Oh ok. They were both within a +/- 1K range. As close together as possible.

@serpentarius: Thanks! :)

@iandh: Sure thing, yes. But those blocks would need high flow anyhow to reach optimum performance. These blocks here, with their higher restriction, work really well...

I really like the idea of running SLI cards in parallel. The difference in tubing length is less than two inches. I'm sure no one can mount a fc block so exact several times that the difference in...

Need? Since when the "need" is important? :D But you're right about that. Still, it has always been and I guess always will be problematic to fill all RAM slots and still overclock.

Interesting ;) A and B wasn't such a big difference for my machine, but the order of the sticks somehow. "Wrong" stick in slot 1? Oh my... terrible clocks, unstable very fast and it needed lots of...

Oh, ok. I haven't tried that so far. I had better results with higher clocks for sure, but I guess I haven't tried an exact 1:1 so far. On the other side, I don't have exact numbers from my old 6600...

I prefer to trust the vcore reading in bios and Everest, they are the highest ones and seem to be the most realistic ones too. Temperatures are definitely not worth a look so far, those sensors do...

Well, yes it might hold it back because of the FSB. I had my two 8500s at 4.2GHz on both boards. It takes some time, but it works ;) Yet I'm pretty sure that a bios could really make things much...

Interesting, which bios are you running? I had the same thing with 2 chips on the P5N and the Striker with the most current bios versions that Everest was the only program to report the voltage as...

Yes, but when CPU-Z shows you 1,15, Everest is at roughly 1,23 right? That's why it runs stable then. When you set the voltage manually, Everest shows you the voltage you set in bios, CPU-Z is way...

Don't worry, I get up to 80°C under load from the reading, it's nowhere close to something real ;)
You should see the "real" vcore when you run Everest, CPU-Z reports it too low.

Yes, and actually I was able to use the same settings/techniques I had from this board on the "full" Striker. Pretty nice actually :) The only thing that changed dramatically was the heat of the NB...

"Wow" :D

Sorry, I'm a traitor... I got a Striker just a couple of weeks ago. Runs really nice so far ;)
Also, I just got a new PSU -> Enermax Modu82+. Absolutely recommendable. Very high, very...

The Feser seems to be nothing more than a fancy variant of the typical China rads. I'm curious why someone would want to pay 3x the normal price for a nicely colored packaging :D

Thanks, I'll have a look at those. It's kinda nice that OCZ bought PC&P, at least for us Europeans, they're easier to get now :D

The problem about the PSU is not the budget (within a margin at...

Maybe you messed up the drivers, are you using CMSS3D? I had this several times, the rears were much lower in volume when something was messed up.
When it's working as it's supposed to, the channels...
