im in the process of buying a 4400+ X2 with a DFI Lan Party Ultra-D. i wondered what people had managed to clock theirs to (fully stable)
Clocking a 4400+

2.64 is my max stable on air 1.6v 55C load
The CPU isnt the problem to cool, its the chipset and PWmic chip that need cooling because X2 draw more current that single core CPUs

im intending to use the Tai-Chi case or just get the BigWater SE cooling kit, im not really bothered about noise so i will be filling the case with high powered fans

Well should be ok.
If chipset gets too warm there is always the zalman heatsink, but beacuse of the design of the DFI ultra D if you have a large GPU, which im guessing you will have in a system like that you will need to bend back the fins to fit it in.
Also if you got some ram sinks stick one of the PWmic chip, its to the right of the DIMMs and just next to the ATX 24 pin socket. Thats what will heat up unless you have a fan on it when clocking.

I would expect you to get around 2.6ghz on the 4400 maybe higher

as per sig b ut it is on water
thankyou mattio
heres what mine will be
i see your using the same case, that gives me a good idea of what my limits will be. how do you rate this case and its water cooling kit
any advise on a water block for the 1900XT, or should i leave it air cooled

hi the case is good but does need some modding i would start by replacing the 1400 rpm fans of the rad get a new pump ,upgrading the piping to 10mm the rad it's self works very well i run
cpu
gpu
mosfet
northbridge
all on one loop through a passive rad halfway through the loop then back into the mosfet have a 400lph passive pump works realy good for me

im new to water cooling could you put me some parts and prices toghether on what u advise i mod, if u cant post them (due to rules) please email them
would be greatly appreciated

not a prob
i will put it together from parts that ocuk sell then you can look around at prices
2xAkasa AK-170CB-4BLS Crystal 4x Blue LED Fan these are very quite and 2500 rpm £6 each =£12 to replace the rad ones
for the pump i will give u the modle number then u can google it
12V XSPC X2O Pump/Reservoir 400lph £29.99 to replace pump as it is a pile of poo the one u get
and some 10mm pipe will make it better about 2 meters £4
thats about it realy
also cant remember what fittings u get with the tai-chi think u get some 10mm ones

thanx
what about a VGA block? for the 1900XT any advise

Why not just get something like an akasa eclipse/antec p180/any lian li and go fully custom with the watercooling? Then you could get proper 1/2" tubing and have free reign on the kit.. just get a full swiftech kit or swiftech pump/danger den gpu block etc?
You seem to be limiting yourself with this case I'd call no more than reasonable?

these are very good

dangerden maze 4 or x18 if you're girly and want the ram cooled..
I would suggest you look at something like this..
120.2 rad (+1/2" ID barbs and don;t forget ptfe tape on the barbs)
swiftech apogee waterblock (or storm if you can get it)
dangerden maze 4 gpu block (+ramsinks if you fancy although not necessary)
swiftech mcp655 pump (mcp355 if space is an issue)
fillport or res as required, any res (tankomatic/5.25 bayres etc)
1/2" xspc tubing (almost as good as tygon and a LOT cheaper)
worm drive clamps
any fans you like x 2
I would have issues with any of the swiftech push fit stuff, heard too much about them failing/not fitting your exact size of tube, I like tightening a worm drive clamp until I can;t tighten it any more.. that way you know you'll have no leaks.
