Clocking Advice/Tips Needed

Has a side note, Im tempted to nut and bolt down my Freezer Pro cooler to the mobo by removing the clips and see if that helps with the cooling.

You can get nylon nut and bolts so Isolation from shorts should not be a problem.

Was thinking something like this:

And

And if needs be

What ya think?

Yes I will do that, source then locally so no waiting but they are no good to me now without ram.

Also received today a new tube of Arctic Silver and its in the fridge right now nose down in the butter :) to keep it in one place.

Misses not happy LOL
 
Guys,

Whats the best memory to get if I decide not to go for OCZ again. With OCZ ram it has heat spreaders attached so if I went for say Corsair, would it run just as well and cope with heat as good as OCZ with spreaders?

Regards.
 
Owe well, I RMA'ed my OCZ ram (4X1GB sticks) cos 3 was faulty and decided to get the following:

Corsair 2GB Kit (2x1GB) DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 XMS2 Memory Non-ECC Unbuffered CL5(5-5-5-12) Heat Spreader Lifetime Warranty

Hope the 4 strips perform better than the OCZ and last longer this time.

Any coments on this ram!

Regards.
 
Hi Again,

Decided to drop the Freezer Pro 7 and just purchased a Tuniq Tower 120 CPU Cooler which I hope will resolve my heat problems.

I now have 2 Freezer 7's here doing nowt, owe well here comes Ebay ;)

Anyway, should receive my new ram and cooler tomorrow so its back to the drawing board again and see what happends.

Regards.
 
Hi M8,

So on the back plate there is a sticky pad I presume to keep it in place, dont use it but just bolt it in place as is.

This will enable easy removal if needs be in the future.

Regards.
 
Will do and I'll report back once the work is done and the new ram is fitted.

What are your comments in regards to the new ram I've purchased instead of the old OCZ I had.

2X Corsair 2GB Kit (2x1GB) DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 XMS2 Memory Non-ECC Unbuffered CL5(5-5-5-12)

Let us know.

Regards.

Found this snippet about the ram.

"Indeed, if you're a keen overclocker this is one of the brands to strongly consider. Although we ran it at DDR2-800 using our standard latency of 4-4-4-12 (a fairly conservative setup), Corsair tests the memory at 3-4-3-9 so you're guaranteed a boost, and at 1066MHz at 5- 5-5-15, it provides a small rise over 800Mhz".
 
Ummm found this comment on the Overclockers website under review for the ram itself.

"I really recomend this ram even if your not overclocking due to its reliabliity out of the box".

Ummmmm, not happy with that comment.
 
Received the new memory (Corsair 6400 800Mhz) this morning and set the voltage to 1.9v and booted straight away without problems.

Now Im running Memtest just to check out the 4 strips.

Regarding the new cooler Im waiting for Tuniq Tower 120 do I have to remove the whole CPU stuff off the motherboard or will it fit over the top?

Regards.
 
Update.

Installed the new ram and Tuniq cooler, applied new Arctic Silver using their instructions (line) and reinstalled motherboard.

Re-setup the motherboard settings as before with memory set at 1.9v per instructions.

Idle using Freezer 7 Pro
51-51-48-48

455X8
@3.640Mhz
vcore: 1.496v

Memory
455Mhz at 1:1

Tuniq Idle
44-44-39-39
Rest as above

Tuniq has lowered temps by 8/9 Deg.

But, I ran Prime and temps at load was:
84-84-83-83

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Sure they should only go up by atlease 20 Deg (64-64-59-59) max.

Doing my head in now.

PS.

Case sides are top are off.
