I might end up getting it and trying. Just to feel a little safer, I might end up using this Artic Adhesive to fully secure it.

What do you think?

I have put a picture of the Enzotech heatsink on my site. It gives about 2mm clearance from the graphics card.

My god !!
Why not use the Evercool heatsink+fan ?
Maybe with your watercooled cards it's OK, at least when you can get some flow over it.
Behind 3 aircooled GTX280 boxes passiv = no go.

If you want a fan this looks even better.

As you say with WC cards I am OK with passive. Will try the Evercool tomotrrow.

This one?
Is it big enough to cover the middle (main) part of the SB?

That's the one I've ordered. Should be here tomorrow.

Like I said on PM, please dont forget to post a picture once you get it installed

Hi,
anyone a Idea how can i bring up my CPU up to 4.5 GHz +
(CPU and NB was Watercooled with Mora Pro 2 and 2 Fan Radiator)

at the moment it runs at 4.3 GHZ with Multi 13

and

Vcore 1.42V
VTT 1.16V
PLL Auto
GTL 1+4 +28mv
GTL 2+3 + 26mv
NB 1.46V

thx and sy for bad english

Yes, and it's installed on the pics i posted before.

[slim142]

God how come I didnt notice this!
But just one question, on the first picture it looks like its really tall. Tall enough to make the middle slot useless for Tri-SLI.
How did you make your middle card fit?

Also, is that heatsink good? what are your temps for SB? Is it crooked or angled?

[QUOTE=slim142;3145523]Im tellin you, I dont think there is anybody here able to run 1T. You wont get a huge drop when using 2T, but you gain a lot more stability. Give 1600Mhz 2T a try.

??? I've been running 1T the whole time, I never crash or have any problems.
Computer runs 110%

1T 2GB ok
1T 4GB I think is an issue.

The Evercool is a great fit. It fits straight, and is rock solid. Temps look good. Tri Sli is no problem, there is about 1mm clearance from the middle card!

My memory runs 1T fine at 1600MHz. pretty good for 2GB sticks.

Hello there,
Can anybody tell me best bios i am on 704 at the Mo and still getting the old random game crashes

spec Q6600 @ 3.74
reaper ram at 1150
2x8800gtx

The overclock is 12 hours prime stable nice temps just random freezing in games not system crashes

Cheers

Yeah, I just noticed that from Hard Case
But between 2Gbs 1T and 4Gbs 2T, I think the choice is pretty obvious

You dont know how happy I am from hearing that! Do you have a number (temp) by any chance?

Slim, if you need further convincing about the evercool, see mine below:

Fits fine, and should have clearance from cards - ive used it in SLI setups before and height isnt an issue. The only thing to be aware of is the lug/catch on the white PCI-E slot gets in the way a bit, but u can bend it out the way a little and that sorts it.

Mike, that is just what I needed!. Thats a nice setup!
Now that I see your motherboard, thats how I want mines to look!

Thanks for the picz

VOLTS...I have to run my OCZ at 1.92v to get 1702 stable. 2GB modules. Try some more volts, I think the OCZ website says less volts for the 1GB sticks than the 2GB sticks but you should have room to go up. Put a fan on the ram.

I tried 1.92v, and I don't see any improvement.... it is already 0.12v above the safety limit and I don't want to go any further.

And it is completely stable at 4037 MHz / 1700 MHz, 10 hours of 3DMark06 + Orthos + Bittorrent and still going. VCore can be reduced to 1.33v too, temp looks much better.

There were some false alarm though, Crysis has antifact and random crash, it turned out to be due to Beta Forceware driver 177.40 and 177.66. Back to WHQL 175.19 and all is well.

I don't know why, seem you guys these Beta driver to solve the SLI issue, even at stock. I don't have those issue, instead it was these beta driver which give me issue.... not only in Crysis, but general performance is bad also.

For Justfire

Heya man, just wondering if you wouldn't mind posting your BIOS specs for your setup. Still tryin' to hit 4ghz+ stable..getting ever so close but it seems this bad boy needs lots of voltage.

Cheers

P.S. By all means if anyone else with a QX9650 wants to post some 4ghz+ specs, have at it.

Seems 804 & 901 would both be very wise choices, best experience has been with either. Try one or the other, doubt you'll go wrong.

[Tyke]

I upped the voltage to 1.6 and in the bios the temp was 32C. This was obviously at idle as I have not loaded windows yet.

[SimonD]

No, it is a Sport model - sport suspension, body kit etc. I have had the engine remapped to 334BHP. from 274BHP - 506lb/ft torque.

I am also thinking of going down the water cooling route, so all this info is helping me out.

No probs Slim, I'll post some pics when its all finished... just leak testing atm. Good luck with your watercooling!

0901 seems to have addressed the corruption issue successfully.

So far it's been #1 for me (finally).
