The Phenom II List of Overclocks

....
Just curious, are you on air?

...

Yes, TT 120 Ultra + 12cm low RPM fan.


I'm aslo going to install Win98SE on my 2GB flash HDD and XP 32bit on OCZ SSD. Will be fun testing in 98SE @4GHz if it ever install on my machine

u will like water. maintenance/setup can be a pain though. my setup is whisper quiet for the most part. i should add another rad though with a low power fan to squeeze out another possible ~100-200, but eh this will do for now (this is insanely fast; basically a dream come true, and on AMD to boot!). i debated on getting higher power fans on the existing rads i have now, but i really enjoy the silence. coming from a single rad with a delta (last setup on s939), i never knew how much i enjoyed the quiet, till now!

as for the board, seems to be smoother for me then the 790fx-m2r i had. i see now that they are trying to sort the issues with it though...

The most noisy part is my GPU though right how, Ive fixed fanspeed of 45%

I suck at doing anything electrical though, I even managed to blow up a X800Pro ViVo while pencil modding it. Not because of the pencil, but by measuring Vgpu and touching things with the leads I shouldnt have done

Anyway, I guess Ill get a Thermochill PA120.3 on the bottom and a thin 360, or maybe even 480mm rad on top. But Ill have to ask my dad if he can cut the holes cause if I would try to cut the top holes I would molest the damn case and manage to have the top unscratched

Never done watercooling so Ill have to do some research on how and what to maintain, as well as what to do if a certain block has to be replace (for example new GPU etc).

Expecting to add 300MHz to your overclock when going from air to water is way too optimistic, sorry to rain on your parade.

Just ain't gonna happen unless you're gonna use chilled water.

I think your wrong there though. PhII scales very well, the only thing to watch are the temps.

Im on 1.48~1.49V on air, 1.55V for air is still considered to be safe. With water you can very well push it to 1.6V if not more. Regarding that and my current achievements, Im pretty damn sure this thing is going to hit 4Ghz without trouble. Only reasons why it's stuck on 3.7 now is because I dont trust the MOSFETs 100% yet, my aircooling isnt performing as I hoped and it seems Voltage tables ain't 100% accurate. Actually, as soon as something goes under load I get a 0.016Vcore drop.

I would have agreed with you if this thing was already hitting a wall like my old Windsor F3, but Im nowhere near a wall It just keeps on going and going, and for the first time I think air is lmiting me badly.

Also Titan told me Ive the same batch as the first 6.3Ghz LN2 PhII IIRC
