It's summertime the weather is hot, can't get a respectable overclock, so what's an overclocker to do? Well build a chiller of coarse!
Early results of my latest project.

cool cool, got pictures?
Is that CPU really only at 1.35V?
Amazing!

No pics, I'll try to get one up when I find my camera. I suck at photography.
CPU-Z reads voltage wrong, it should read 1.75
Nice clock with watercooling!
How fast would it go with aircooling?
Holy crap, my 5600+ does that on air with 1.575 set in the bios. You can put 1.75V into one of these things at all? I can only imagine how high this would go on cold water and a neked core. Im going to try neked core soon.... just lowering the Opteron HSF to mate properly to it. Unfortunately the Alpha 8150 is not compatible with AM2... couldn't even use a drill press to customize it, it has missing areas that are needed.
I really wish I had bought your motherboard, the Crosshair has a much better bios and voltage regulators.
GA-MA790GP-D4SH, 965BE, 3.8Ghz
Ultra120E, 4x2G Gskill 1066
2x 150G VRaptor raid, WD640AALS
8800GT 735/940/1685, LG-BluRay
On air @ 1.6 volts, 20 degrees C it will run @ 3400 MHz, but my room is @ 30C right now. It's just not stable over 3400 MHz on air.
Here's what it did on air

What temp liquid on the chiller?
7950GT SLI?
Not bad clocks![]()
Phenom II 940 BE / ASUS M4A79 / HD5770 Crossfire
3770mhz CPU 2600mhz NB | DDR1040 5-5-5-15 | 900/1250
Twisted a little harder

Your CPU does a stable 3.5GHz with aircooling? Let's see a 3DMArk06 compare URL?Holy crap, my 5600+ does that on air with 1.575 set in the bios.
To show that this CPU has some stability at these speeds

Max screen so far, 3735 MHz![]()

You need to try a 6000+... 4g maybe?![]()

Very NICE!
wow! 3.7ghz? awesome![]()
holy crap....rev f3 awesomeness right here! i guess these really do clock like beasts...
afireinside;
I have thought about a 6000, on paper they should be awesome, but in the wild the 5600's seem to clock better.
CCUABIDExORxDIE;
The F3's seem to have broken the 3.1 - 3.2 wall. This chip clocks really easy to 3.4, then wants volts to go higher.
later in the week, when I get some time, I'll see if I can get more!
That's a very nice overclock. Keep up the good work!
I`m glad to see someone trying chilled water on these- I was gonna try it myself and aim at 4GHz but id rather have a Spi and 3DM machine.
The higher multi of a 6000+ should allow ya to push the temps into coldbug range, with an x15 you`d only need 266 on the base HT speed.
Do you know where your chip coldbugs yet?![]()
any coldbugs evident on this cpu or the 6000+ that anyone is aware of?
Very impressive
What temperature was your water chiller holding at?
