Phenom 9950 Overclocking

[gOtVoltage]

Well managed to get the WC setup and only had time for a quick play, here is what water gave me. Loop consists of a Swiftech Laing MCP655, DTek fusion V2 with quad core mid chamber, Danger Den chipset cooler on the nthbrdge, and a Thermochill TA120.3 rad and 1 x 120mm delta in a pull config.

Hopefully tomorrow will find the time to go for the 3.7ghz validation

As I dont want to rip out the Tagan 1100 watter I have in my main rig, I am using a Antec 550w PSU, anyone think this is going to effect my overclocking?

Also am not using a backing plate on the mobo, any advantages in using the backing plate?

Try it first,, if you hit a limit at max clocks around 3.5ghz + = 300watts plus then the vid card/cards and pump and fans and so forth.

If it works nice,, if not hellow Tagan

Use the largest nozzel or No Nozzel. D-Tek V2 and V1

The reason is that the Quad nozzel will spray water presshure on Sides or lower half of CPU only. Quad nozzel ,Its designed for Intel which is split flow/split core and its Cores are low NOt in CENTER LIKE AMD.

You NEED water to hit in the CENTER of CPU with out a split nozzel to get the BEST temps for Phenom. Matter of fact i even drilled out the four corner holes to 3/8th whith alows unrestricted flow to the outlet

I like to tweak things can ya tell. You can even drill the inlet hole of the 655 to 1/2" for more inflow if you like. This helps with water flow and volume.

little things add up
