Onto the watercooling, the pink loop needed to be changed because
1) new res
2) new swiftech mcw30 chipset block
3) change/reroute
thats leak testing and thank god I did.. HUGE leak from one of the barbs, then the barb snapped in the rad, then the only way to get it out was to screw it into the rad (this one handed with me having my thumb over the end of the pipe to stop the water from flowing out because I couldn't find a bung) not fun...
Its in! ready for the tidy up and fire up...

maybe u would have been better off with a mach 2 gt, i found it tolerable until it broke.. im actually pretty sure it wasnt as loud as the ys tech fan i have now which is around 40db.

Looks sweet, i bet you broke your back shifting it in place though.

Looks professionally done as usual Matt, nicely executed. .
Looks like one of the cathodes got lost in the Vapo though

Thats the other thing, 3ghz is stable enough to superpi and it'll prime for about an hour so in my book I'd say its stable, my 2.75 on water died on prime after about 15 minutes but still played FEAR/BF2 etc fine.
3.1ghz will hang around windows but you get the not convergent in sqr05 thing on a 1mb superpi.
3.2ghz hangs in windows after about a minute.
the 3ghz is well within the limits of the 2gb ram I have (gskill HZ) but herein lies another story which I'd be glad to get help/explainations for.
It won't run/boot/bios anything lower than a 180 divider. To get to the 180 divider I need to up to ram voltage to 3.2 from normal 3v (although the sticker says 2.6-2.8v it never booted at less than 2.92v with the water, with phase it won't boot under 3.0v).
The Corsair 3500LL pro that arrived today won't boot 2 sticks at all, period.
So the 3.1 and 3.2 were tested with just 1 stick of Gskill HZ in.
Tried LDT to 1.3v and HTT to 1.65v, evap says -40, fully loaded it reckons -30, bios says -15. Vcore has been all the way up to 1.8v.
Not especially impressed with the clocks tbh although it does appear stable 250mhz past my last best clock.

why thank you, I like a tidy pc
and yes, first mod before I even fired it up (might be the last if I buy this mach2 I was just offered
) I figured seeing as I'm going red, why not go the whole hog.. there's a red 120mm fan in the front you can't see, its all very... red.

This an old 4400?
If it is, that sounds about right to be honest.

early october so fairly early I guess?? EDIT CCBWE 0534SPMW if that helps, I get the 05 W34 thing.
thought about an opty 170, people are pulling 3ghz with smelly air cooling on some of them but apparently they don't like the cold.

Yeah, my FX60 does 3GHz SnM stable on air, vapo, 3GHz stable on SnM. Hit 3.04GHz on air or phase and bang, resets itself.
4400 wise, that's fairly recent.

They really don't like the cold. X2's are your best bet. My X2 is amazing - 0546SPAW with 1.49v on water... This is an OEM chip though. My old one which was RMA'ed was an 0519UPMW as it didn't work with 2GB RAM and only clocked to 2.5ghz stable.matt100 said:
