Pictures of my first Water cooling build..

I would be careful with just using zip-ties on EK barbs even if it is 7/16th hose.

The EK barbs don't have a great different in OD of the shaft and OD of the lip in comparison to a DangerDen or D-TEK 1/2" barb.

I've seen threads with tubing coming off when only secured with zip ties on EK Barbs.
 
Ok first attempt to 3.4 GHz failed on Orthas. Interstingly only cores 2 & 3 fail, cores 0 & 1 are fine. I've upped the vcore to 1.425 which is surely enough. No joy.. Just wondering if there is anything I've not done.
 
Have you upped the NB/MCH or FSB Term voltages?

Tho 1.425v in BIOS may well be close to 1.325v under load in Windows, and that'll probably be lower than needed for 3.4ghz.
 
ICH voltage may need a notch, for SATA stability, but only a notch.

FSB Termination also will need a bump - just do one BIOS step at a time, test and keep going.
 
Yeah set the FSB Term to about 0.1v above the lowest setting. If that has little or no effect then concentrate on the vcore.
 
^Very :)

Ok i tried 1.45 v on the vcore and that did the trick. So I'm at 3.4GHz now..

Load temps are around 46c :)

Looking at the other voltage settings, they are set to Auto so have no idea what the current settings are. Any ideas?
 
Does Everest or the ASUS software give you readings in Windows for the chipset voltages? I'm not familiar with that board, but I've a feeling that it won't give them. If it doesn't then try both the NB and FSB Term/VTT on about +0.1v above the lowest setting.
 
cant you set the volts to what is actually shown under auto and then try working your way down till you get the lowest stable voltages?
 
what about trying them all at the lowest and working your way up till its stable? Its a lot of effort i know but i cant see any other way...unless you just leave it as is :-)
