Or will the benefits be almost purely for quietness?
Or will the benefits be almost purely for quietness?
Im sure overclocks would go higher.. Ive yet to had a h20 quieter than an aircooled system. I just hate the heat dump air cooling brings to the case.
Watercooling will definitely not be needed. It really helps most when you run at high volts, and so far i've been seeing 1.58v on air and no more, so depending on the motherboard you may not even be able to supply enough volts for watercooling to make a significant difference.

Ofcause..
Btw.. How the phuk did you came up with that title !? :S
WC, watercoolin' aint the first thing crossin' my mind..

Which title dude?Originally Posted by M.Beier
So basically, you'd only do it for silence/whatever, rather than true overclocking?Originally Posted by Absolute_0
Hmm...
Fake Edit: Btw, would a Nf4 chipset cooler fit a nf5?
Bad axe reports 55C full load temps on TT BT @ default volts, although heatpipes are only a bit warm.
...
That does sound hotter than i anticipated kiwi, what idle temps?
I remember FCG mentioned that these chips aren't extremely temperature sensitive though.

for air cooling wouldnt the HPCS tech station be a good case
and shouldnt the DFI mobo be overclocker's must have boards?? i heard there r 4 of them coming with conroe support, and 3 of them before july 23
Edit: it should provide us enuff voltage to crack 5 GHz , i dunno, cos DFI has been good for OC, i dont what i will do without it
"Will WCing be needed for Conroe?"... WCing, WTF :\Originally Posted by Haltech

WC is an abbreviation just like WTF

WCing = water cooling , right?? just to be sure we are talking about the same thing
I don't think it will hurt anything. 59C makes me cringe, so watercooling would be a good idea but not necesary.
Ya, WC = water cool, followed by " 'd", "ed", or "ing".Originally Posted by M.Beier
Sorry for the confusion, I was being lazy ;p
Edit: Gotta resize my avy :/
well its better than the air cooling, like Bigtyphoon, and if u get a 120 mm fan radiator its gonna be quiet, should be able to reach 4Ghz with X6800 and a DFI mobo
Idle temps are around 40C but I am pretty sure board reports wrong. Same on water.
...
At any rate, water should help with overclocking regardless, whether it is controlling temps better or allowing for higher clocks, or both.
I sure as hell know that I ain't getting rid of my loop once Conroe arrives.
I'm just wondering if the Apogee will fit.
yeah i tihnk they have apogee for LGA775, if it works for Prescott, then it should work with ConroeOriginally Posted by CedricFP
If you have ever been to Europe you would probably understand.
WC = Toilet
Exactly.. :\Originally Posted by JimboJoe43
Thought, uhm does this chip needs to get flushed... - No more MIB (Men In Black) for me

Let's try to get back ontopic...but...really? Is WC an abbreviation for something? W_ _ _ crapper?
Definitely, it's all about socket compatibility. The dimensional difference between a Prescott, Smithfield or Presler vs. Conroe is negligible.Originally Posted by theteamaqua

What sucks about having an Apogee, though, is that is performs better on larger die cpu's.Originally Posted by Absolute_0
Conroe is getting smaller due to the smaller fab process (65nm) (right?) so therefore my block is going to perform worse...
I might try get a G4.
OMG... ppl thought this was about a toilet?

Friend: Do you have a spare PSU lying around?
Me: No why?
Friend: My PSU just blew up, I think the second 8800GTX might have been too much for it to handle
Me: what PSU was that again?
Friend: Antec 480w
Me:........
