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

[64NOMIS]

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.

I love to do a cold air, but right now but it's 70F here >_> stupid Ohio weather then other day it 35F in the morning.
I'll get one in a month or two though.

[charged3800z24]

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.

Will get to testing soon. Update in the next 24-48 hours.

Edit: Still working on it, but this is it for tonight.

At 30 mins P95 blend





5 min after ending P95 blend






Cooling : Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus w/ 2 x Scythe S-Flex 120mm 1600rpm fans in push-pull
Room temp : 20C

can i fight with AIR? Maybe, i will lucky and beat some H20 systems

edit:my mistage, i can not to read all first :-)....

[equinox1]

i am goinig to have fun with this one, my ice dragon will rule all!

[Buckeye]

Looks like this will be fun

[charged3800z24]

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



Idle 4mins after of Prime95

Rig shots. I have the 2 lines to the rad going through the wall to the garage on the other side. About 46*F in the garage right now.

Ehhh I can't get down on this yet......my hardware is in east jabib atm....already having OC withdrawals

[Raiderman]

I cant get my rig and monitor in the same shot? lol I guess maybe if I stand back about 10 feet.

I had the same issue in the first thread. I did a far shot then two close ones.

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...

[Titan7171]

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?

[FlanK3r]

equinox1: yes, your cgip whit your extreme 24/7 cooling is winner here, think

[charged3800z24]

You guys haven't seen my new setup have you MuWahahahahaaa......

[beta]

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.

Can I be in on this if I buy one?? or is this just for the people who are recieving cpus from the other thread? Also do I have to be running DDR3 or can I do it on my current Asus M3A79T Deluxe?

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

[FlanK3r]

what is your new cooling? In signature i see Xigmatek Dark Knight, hard oponent for me :-). But hope, il get 4100-4200 MHz stabil

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.....

[charged3800z24]

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

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

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 .

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.

[crazydiamond]

i have so much homework to do between now and wednesday i probably wont get to do any good tweaking until then but i will get some results up asap

[equinox1]

lets start with no chiller on the water.


sorry no fan speed to show since its not connnected to mb (see photo)

now its chiller time


notice aod has a bit of problem with below 0 celsius. pass that along 64nomis will you?
my asus crosshairIII was showng -15c at idle on the lcd poster.

this was fun,what next?
