ASUS Maximus Formula SE

[jorgito05]

Hey all, ... just installed my Maximus a few days ago, ... hooked up the CPU to cooling w/ Gatorade , overclocked my 8800gt, and then overclocked the 6850 CpU to 3.78Ghz. (420 x 9) z9mem: PC-8500 ballistix)

Ran Orthos for 2 hours, temps on CPUtemp 95.4 went from 34-38 up to 66-69
yet Speedfan shows 53c.

Cooling via Petra's Basic Kit w/ Apogee GT, MCR220 radiator, & Lang D5 pump. my loop is from the pump into the radiator, then to CPU, then on to the NB Fusion, (had to put adapters to go down in dia. to fit the fusion) .. then back to pump. (and I left the fusion stock, didn't re-seat it, etc))

my question is, .. is my loop ok? and, .... what about temps? Am getting confused with all the different temps people are talking about.

I want to try and get up to 4Ghz, ...so just looking for some direction. thanks again for a great group!

I would go from pump to your system, then to Radiator. Want to cool the fluid back down before entering the pump again, hot fluid may shorten pump life.
