These chips are awsome. I can boot and run flawless @ 4.2ghz on my water setup.
I can bench 3d @ 4.3ghz and light benches @ 4.4ghz.
I will update my results this weekend if I can get the temps down more. Great thread as always.
Crap! I removed the fans and disengaged the radbox but my lines to the rad wont reach the water.


The only way is remove the tubes from the rad barbs and plug them with something. that means I need to plug 4 spots at the same time. I really dont feel like refilling and bleeding my whole loop tonight.
and it would be better if I had a friend here to help my switch to the extension but I could do it myself.
Ive use sharpie marker caps as plugs before but maybe I could kneed some Scotch seal string into a ball and use that instead.
Do you think I'm going to even get any dramatic gains going to chiller?
I normally wouldn't even mess around with this and go straight to dice container or ln2 but I only have 1 AM3 board and its in my main rig so this mission appealed to me
but at the same time its almost easier for me to remove the board and trace a socket template and start cutting neoprene and screw the container on.
I think that will definitely happen on friday after I make it through this h20 mission alive. Then I can post how well these scale with cold going from h20 ambient to chilled h20 to subzero xtreme.
