Thanks guys, with help from many friends I am finally able to progress on to live load testing. There were some hurdles but I might have gotten over that I think
I really would like to thank RunMC for providing me with CPU and motherboard, NJKid32 for providing me with motherboard and possibly newer version of CPU, Guess2098 for providing me with GPU, and bunch of you guys for helping me figuring out what to do with this motherboard. I forget how fast technology can move in overclocking field
Basically the test will consist of VERY finely tuned NF10FX unit I made while back tuned specifically at 200w with Chilly1 Evap vs the newest NEK2134GK with Cryostar evap tuned for 250w. Of course, once I go beyond that, I am it will be obvious on which one will survive but the real objective here is
#1) Total balance of system given similar noise level and power consumption (which they are) up to 200w load range. Also will look at evap vs cpu delta and few other characteristics that might present.
#2) Typical application of what type of tuning would suit end user the best. Not everyone will enjoy the idea of running 250w load 24x7. (I bet motherboard will blow well before it's time... how do I know? Typically how I used to kill motherboard... some crazy voltage and folding with older systems thinking all is good since evap is cold... it's quite easy to blow up the cap or voltage regulation circuit that way).
Components utilized are Q6600 (I know it isn't G0... something old and supposedly hot)
***correction, it is G0... and runs very cool from testing so far***
, Asus P5B DLX, Very special Team memory (believe was limited production with the so called DDR2 fat body) which I have no idea how to overclock, and of course the 2 phase units
This bench station is finally getting used after resting for nearly 10 months...
Currently running bios set 1.5v reading 1.42v around 3ghz. Going slowly so I know more about the CPU and can compare better... Upping FSB 5mhz every 20 minute can take quite some time :P (I don't think I need the voltage yet but why not)...
