From what I have read I would go for a TRUE black 120mm - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-056-TR&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=821&name=Thermalright%20TRUE%20Black%20120%20CPU%20Cooler%20(Socket%20AM2/LGA775) You will also need 1 or 2 fans for it, make sure it will fit...

What you have done is correct, i have read through the article a few times and basically from my understanding you need to adjust the TJmax figure to get an accurate reading. This is a quote from the article - "The only major factor which will affect readings is Tjunction Max. Since the 65nm...

Might be worthwhile re-seating your heatsink as suggested but also you may want to change your tjmax setting in your Core temp programs to give you a true reading, check out this - http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/intel-dts-specs,news-29460.html I have my tjmax set to 95 now but according to...

In the manual from my Swiftech kit that I installed last week it said - Res - Pump - Rad - CPU - Res Runs OK but not tried any other configuration.!

So is it still not safe to go above 1.5v even when I have a water cooled processor? At 3.2 it never goes above 45deg at moment even under full load. I can see the voltage going over 1.5v before the temperature becomes a problem. Whats more important - voltage or the temperature? Can the...

Just a quick dumb question.... When people are quoting Vcore voltages on here do they mean the value in the bios or the real value as read in CPU-Z??? Mine is set at 1.45v in bios but reading 1.39ish in CPU-Z, this is with a Q6600 which is only clocked to 3.2, drop the voltage a notch and...

I bought the kit as I was a noob to water cooling and liked the idea of having everything I needed (and more) in one box with a set of full instructions on how to install it. I am not saying that they are the best components in the kit but they are pretty good and for someone thats never...

I also took the plunge last week and went for the following kit from Overclockers - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-014-SW&groupid=701&catid=193&subcat=1038&name=Swiftech%20H2O-220%20Apex%20Ultra%20Watercooling%20Kit%20(Socket%20462/478/LGA775/754/939/940) Bought...

OK, here's my experience from the last week... Bought the following - ASUS P5N-D - upgraded bios to 803 Q6600 - currently running at 3.2 Memory - Corsair XMS2 6400 Graphics - 9800GTX Gainward Case - Coolermaster Cosmos S Cooling - Water cooling Swiftech kit for CPU only £150ish- after...

Found these today, thought they may come in useful ! If using Core Temp etc then you will need to adjust the TjMax value accordingly so that you get accurate figures. 08:50 - Tuesday 21 October 2008 by Gavin Steacy Source: Tom's Hardware – Keywords: intel, dts, specs Category : CPU It...

Just upgraded to a water cooling system and everything was running cool and quiet until.......I put the little screaming fan that came with the motherboard on the northbridge. Stop it with my finger and everything just hums quietly. Is there a replacement fan I can use instead, or if I get a...

OK, Minor issue at 3.4Ghz... Very occasionally the machine will freeze up, could be either under load or at idle, idle temps are around 30 and full load temps are around 50. Can you take a look at the following and let me know if you have any idea's to try. Current settings - Vcore -...

I upgraded to water yesterday as after trying to get my clock speeds up with a Ultima 90 that i bought last week was like banging my head against a wall! I went to Overclockers and after speaking to one of the guys there bought this kit -...

FTT, Northbridge and Southbridge currently at 1.5V to get it stable @ 3.4 How much higher can i go??

Ok guys, water cooling kit fitted and running. Temps are down and currently running at 3.4Ghz ! Prime is running as we speak and with all cores at 100% load my temps are 46 -49 deg I have had to turn the vcore right up to get here (1.525ish) and also played with the northbridge voltages as...

Had a similar problem last week with mine.. Just built a new system - Q6600 9800GTX+ 3 hard drives etc.. When trying to use my original 650W non branded PSU it would boot but power off as soon as i tried to do anything. Went out and bought a Jeantech 1000w absolute and it has been...

Just checked the base of the new Apogee waterblock to see if it was flat and found that it is not, it is convex. But then found this on the web.... Bowed Base Now if you have been active in the water-cooling scene lately, there is much hype going about convex shaped bases. Before the days...

Ok, will check to see if its flat, if not then i will lap it in. Might just lap it anyway! Can't do any harm. (famous last words)

Just picked up one of these kits and would like to know has anyone had any experience with mouting the rad inside the Cosmos S case...

Ok guys, given up with the Ultima 90 and just been down to Overclockers and bought myself a Swiftech water cooling kit...
