    yea that is strange.maybe its just one of those prima donna chips that was born to be watercooled

    Yeah seems like it. It appears to be about as hot as 1.1875 - 1.20 VID chips, I didn't think it would be this hot when i saw it was a 1.25 VID. Also it hit 77*C in about 5 seconds after starting IBT so it would have climbed higher if I'd left it running perhaps 80*C or more.

    Watercooling concerns me though so I think I will be staying with high end air, I'd only gain ~10*C going to water anyway, and when I weigh up the expense & risk vs benefits it's just not worth it to me at this stage.

    yep.same thoughts here,with my airconditioned air i dont think i would gain very much either.and like you ,WC scares me.i dont think i could forgive myself if something bad happened.too many things to go wrong.although some of the shots of the insides of peoples cases that WC look awesome(like nugzo's).oh well.also my first e8400 i couldnt run IBT cause of that same problem with heat,after 5 seconds it was nearing 70c.

    Yeah one of my mates tells me watercooling is safe if done properly, with almost no chance of a leak or pump failure. I just don't like the fact that if something does go wrong, the chance of everything getting bricked is very high. Especially in a case like mine or yours with the PSU at the bottom, a leak would almost certainly take out the entire system, and if the pump failed when you weren't around I'd hate to see the temps things would get up to.

    Watercooled systems really do look the part, and have far superior cooling ability than air, but it still concerns me, a lot. I am going to look into it more as I think I need to better educate myself about it before deciding, but from what i know, the tubes are about 2mm thick, you can get high quality clamps, the pressure in the system is pretty low, and you can get good quality pumps & blocks etc so I can see if done properly it could be safe, but I think it would be hard for me to feel comfortable using it. I'd probably spend minutes checking for leaks before each time I powered on, and every 10 minutes I was using the system

    I never even thought about the psu being on the bottom,for some reason in my head i just pictured coolant leaking all over the board and seeping into all the nooks and cracks as if it were laying flat.but thats even more frightening coolant getting to the psu and just frying everything.

    Whenever I think about water-cooling, I have this image of finding a puddle of coolant underneath my PC, on my wall-to-wall carpet

    Temp doesn't go over 65-66C and for now I'm pretty happy with it.
    Unfortunatelly my memory doesn't boot at lower PL, no matter what I do. It just freez on DET_RAM and doesn't show boot screen at all.

    And a question to Simps - how do you set GTL's to 00 ??? I don't have 00 as an option ?

    Here is your result and a shot:


    btw. How do you manage to start your Corsairs at 1100 Mhz ? Any advices ? And how do you keep DRAM Static Read Control, DRAM Read Training and MEM. OC Charger, because when I put sumething else than Auto, always end with a blue screen ?!?

    Distilled water will not conduct electricity.
    I had a leak once, my NB clamp was loose and coolant leaked all over the 3870X2 and my Sound Blaster, all was fine after everything was properly dry.
    Water cooling is far superior and if done properly is totally safe. Plus its alot of fun

    Yes I had read about using distilled water. That's the reason they use distilled water in lead/acid batteries. Still, when there are leaks using distilled water it causes issues so it appears to be somewhat conductive soon as it touches the mobo or graphics card etc? Safer than normal water though.

    Well I have posted on Asus forums about the Phase pull-in issue. I tried to submit a query to the technical support but the submission form is (surprise surprise) not working. I cannot select product type or product model the drop down boxes do not open.

    You can see my post here:

    http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?...Formula&page=1

    Hopefully someone (if anyone here is a member there) can submit the problem to them on my behalf, we need this addressed ASAP.

    Water cooling is one of those things were benefit of having one is nowhere near of risk / cost / effort put into it (for me ofc - chicken )

    I relay prefer to buy cherry picked CPU and play with it then play with OC then play with WC and eventually loose - most important time on setting up machine and OC rather then even money itself - i just dont have time anymore to waste.

    BTW for ppl who has random reboots. In the end cause for them was SB voltage, which one exactly I dont know i bumped both to 1.2 and 1.55 following advice of Simps as I run both PCI higher then 100 and got 4HDDs and a lot of stuff connected to MB.

    About my connection issue it looks like it was crapy version of downloader - installed new version and problems seems to be gone.

    This weekend I will try go higher then my sig as CPU can do it easily - mobo is holding me back.

    What version of those Dominators u got? u will have it on sticker on HS.

    If 1.x then they should clock easily If 2.x then your current clock might be your reality (at least this is what i read about them - no personal experience as I got 1.x).

    Anyway you can up voltage on them for 1100 to 2.1+ (mine are working 2.15 as in singature - but passing test no problem 1160 PL8 on same settings - did not try higher)

    You might need to adjust NBGtl ref or bumb NG voltage to do PL8 - just a thought (but on your cloks it seems that you have more then enough juce on NB tho I would try NBGTL ref)

    You can find my settings for RAM (which are copy of some Grnfinger's settings for ram in the thread just look for my posts)

    Great thank you very much for that. I just tried again but the form is still not working for me.

    Hopefully we can get this resolved. Functional pull-ins would be very nice indeed.

    **EDIT - ok I have submitted my technical support inquiry. I hope this goes somewhere, I will continue to push them to resolve this issue if they try to brush it off or claim the pull-ins work. We all know they don't work, as we have all tested them rigorously. I have tested every released BIOS edition and they do not work in any of the BIOSes.

    You go here: http://support.asus.com/techserv/tec...Language=en-us

    and choose the maximus II formula and then fill out the form and submit it. I think you have to be a member first though, so sign up first, then do the form if that is the case.

    Go here to sign up: http://member.asus.com/login.aspx?SLanguage=en-us

    Thanks, the more people we get hassling them about this problem the better

    I'm with v 1.1, so you say they have to be good. I will do some more test, but they can't boot at PL8 at all, neither on PL9

    Yeah I hope they get to it when they get back from partying it up. It says that if it has not been replied to in 48 hours it will automatically be raised to 'urgent' status.

    I'll keep at it though, the fact the pull-ins never worked at all is just ridiculous, and every time I see them in the BIOS it annoys me.

    I have a kit of Dominators that are ver 1.1 and they are sweet sticks, they will boot and are stable at 1200MHz PL7 on the MAximus Formula X38, and Rampage X48, but will not boot at 1200MHz on the Maximus II at PL 8,9 or 10, its very frustrating.
    Have yet to find timings that will allow them to boot @ 1200MHz

    Sorry I'm a bit late

    This begining of year has been so busy with new hardware, that I left until page 83

    So gat to know if you've updated to another bios than this 1307 to gat what you have now ?

    Some members clocked any E8600 on air wit it like me ? Curious to know how much they achieve ^^

    I'll work again on this board in a few days before getting an UD3P

    Lucky you getting to play with new hardware I'm still on BIOS 1307, the new BIOSes don't add anything unless you are a quad user or your current ram isn't compatible and there was some issue with dual VGA cards they fixed, so I have no reason to upgrade.

    Your e8600 is flying, nice work on that, what are your temps like because I cant use 4.3 & 1.336v without going over ~80*C on load with my current chip. I haven't seen anyone else using an e8600. I was going to get one but after looking everywhere I couldn't find any Q822A435's, maybe you can send me one

    wth?

    Went to start my MIIF this morning and cmos had been wiped including 2 saved OC profiles, sweet I thought as I had saved a profile to a usb stick but when I tried to load it I got a message saying file not compatable (or words to that effect - cant remember exact wording). Blimey I have not removed battery or even touched the mobo. Anyone else had this happen to them?

    Oh and dont worry about water cooling, honestly you will love it and the temps, I know I do. Its also silent
