**Official E7x00 OC Thread**

Your problem probably is the cooling, WC from Thermaltake is such crap, a high end air cooler will do better... I could bench my E7400 up to 4.5 on air, for more ( wprime and co) I need phase or even cascade to go over 5.1Ghz. Same story with my Pentium E6300 now. Benches fine up to 4.4Ghz, over that I need phase again...and better...

These CPU's are not for 24/7 use at 4.5Ghz, ,not even all real wolfdales ( E8X series) can do that... Settle with 4ghz with eg 8 x 500FSB and enjoy that CPU...

In that picture i'm using Xigmatek Red Scorpion S1283

i'm testing
9x500mhz
VCore @ 1.475 (in the BIOS)
Northbridge about 1.2-1.3V
PLL @ default

this set let me through the POST. But when the windows logo come up. It become freeze then in a second going to BSOD

I'm wondering, anything that i could change ? so i can go through 4.5ghz.
it's for benchmark purpose only (super pi 1M and 3dmark series )

thanks

EDIT:
My friend's dad give me a used radiator from car. It's used as AC radiator.
Then he ask me about the WB. He can build me 1 if i want
So i think, i'm gonna give him a shot.

now I'm put the TT water cooling on the classified. If it sold, i want to use the money to buy a good WB like Dtek / Swiftech (i can't afford Koolance) IF that custom WB not BETTER than TT
If it's better...Then i'm gonna change to E8400/E8500 or i'm gonna change to GTX275/HD4890
