- Start date
then – what wrong with OCCT Perestroika and how about some help with overclocking ?Radiator is EK Water Blocks EK-CoolStream RAD XT 360, CPU block is Swiftech Apogee XT Extreme Performance, Pump is Laing DDC-Pump 12V DDC-1RT/Plus with 2xG1/4-outer thread.
I planning go for 4Ghz if temperatures will allow (still in doubt about temperatures in stock setup...), will be nice to have some advices or BIOS templates.

Thanks, I will try to go for 4Ghz, for the cooling, this is my first WC rig, and I notice that temperatures are different from air cooling, I planning go for cleaning of system and change out cooling liquid. Case is HAF 932, no problems with cooling for all components. Strange, I do not find any examples on net, of stock CPU temperatures on WC rigs…..
Thanks all for the help, unfortunately I have to leave home for business about for a month – that mean, overclocking will be postponed until I comeback…
For the temperatures – according what I was reading – they are not too bad, but they have to be lower… I planning do cleaning of system, change out liquid and etc… probably that will improve temperatures. For the RAD, well I got what I got, probably that was not the best, but for the single loop - will do ( I think). I using MX-2 thermal paste, but is over 1year old, but probably still be do the job is well.
In general – I happy with current setup. Some pictures – if you don’t mind…
But I have some questions about flushing and cleaning of WC system, any special liquids I have to use ?, from guides that I have been read, vinegar do the job is well, how often cleaning must be done ? If some body can be more precise about that – will be much help for me.
Any suggestions and remarks are more like welcome. I am not complete noob about systems in general, but I prefer ask questions and try to collect the best what I can get from all. Sorry for my English.
