[DrDemonic]

Hello everyone, i consider myself to be the sickest ocer on air. With my nf7-s and my 1700xp dl 0310 xpmw, i acheived 2.7gigs on air. I live in NYC, and its freakign cold here this 2am morning. my pc is next to my window, i have 2 huge intake and, and 1 smal lexausht and 1 big blowhole. here are hte pics, enjoy, i score 10,100 on sandra, my next step is 2.8, 2.8 , then 3.0, but i need better ram on my hands first.

my normal setting is at 2.4 gigs, i can go to 2.5 or maybe even 2.6 on normal air temp, but ineed better ram since my mobo does not like multiples that r too high. at 2.4 my cpu temop on normal air temp is aobut 20c.

i feel lieik my thumb has frostbite, the blowhole on top my case was blowing way below freezing air, that cold air plus the 150cfm speed it exists at, prob makes a windchill of like -50c, im soaking my hand right now in a bucket of really hot water. rofl, i think im a sick addicted ocer. this chip really helps out as well, best ive seen. on normal air temps, i cna do 2.4-2.5 no problem, but ijsut pc3200 ram running 200fsb, i cant run muc hhigher then that, and my nf7-s mobo doesnt liek 200fsb with real high multiples. hopefully next week i will get real fast ram so i would be able to hit 3gigs+ on air.

the 947 or SP94 + 92mm tornado would probably give you a 3-4 C drop given your conditions.

I used to have an Athlon 1700+ JIUHB 0310 XPMW.. 2310mhz @ 1.6v (defualt 1.52). I sold it and upgraded to a Barton 2500+ AQZEA, which is crap in comparison, it takes 1.9v to hit that. I was getting better 3dmark scores with the tbredb. Im surprised you could manage that on air cooling. Nice job on the overclock! Get that machine folding stat!
