Set up my WCing wow

Jack Bauer · 24 Apr 2006 at 16:16

Just finished setting up my watercooling that I got this morning. I cant believe these temperatures, cant wait to get overclocking some more.
Booted at 25 on the cpu, 30 on the graphics card, after 15 mins of ATI tools I had 35 on the cpu and 39 on the graphics card. I know these are going to go up once the water has warmed up but im still impressed.

kept running it, I seem to have top out at 38 on the cpu and 42 on the GPU. Canny pleased with that.

What wc kit you got? Providing you have it all setaed right and no air in there and a decent rad and fan temps should be good mate

Jack Bauer · 24 Apr 2006 at 17:15

temps as above, tryed cs and got 38 and 39

kit is

danger den TDX
mase 4 chrome
ThermoChill PA120.2
laing D4

I think its time to overclock some more, more voltage I think

Go for that 3G mate

Nice rad, pump umm so so, CPU block umm not sop sure on em but gpu one top man, all 1/2'' yeah? What fans?

I'mn just backed down to stock setting on my P4 and i'm at 20c right now

Looking good. This post also says something about how great the PA160 is. I have it linked up with an AquaXtreme 50Z pump, Storm CPU block, Polar Flo TT. Opty is on 2.4 atm and X850Xt at stock. CPU idles around 34 and GFX on 30.

Ive got a pair of thermaltake 120mm on it. Got them on low speed tho so they are silent, I might give them a go on the week end at 100% just to see what it will do but im pritty hapy with it as is. yer its all 1/2".
I aint got a reliable idel temp yet as I have not given it chance to settle. load temps never really leave the 40 mark.
Could some one suggest max voltage for my cpu and gpu on water. I was think around the 1.6 v mark.

Got the whole kit off the MM for £150 btw

1.7 i'd say maybe 1.65v to be safe

You use AS5?

Umm he has PA120.2 not 160's

Jack Bauer · 24 Apr 2006 at 18:20

yer I do, Ive had it up to 1.5 on air but that was the limit I was willing to try. Just did not want to make 2.8, hopefull with a few more volts I will get it to 3G. Im looking forward to pushing my graphics card more. Its at 700/800 at the moment. If I could put an extra 50 Mhz on each I would be happy.

How silent is it? One of my main reasons for switching was silence. My old tower had something like 8 fans on it to get decent overclocks, was like a Boenig 747!

Jack Bauer · 24 Apr 2006 at 18:30

the system is completely silent with the exception of the pumb. It aint bad but I think I will invest in a good one as its the only thing I can hear

Yeah i know - was doing a little mini comparison and PR for the PA160.

tryed my cpu at 1.52 v. However in windows it reported it as 1.57. Any way 2.8 G lasted 3 mins in prime

going to try a new bios

Jack Bauer · 25 Apr 2006 at 00:11

Well 2.7 seems to be the limit of my cpu, im happy at that anyway till I get a dual core. My GPU limit is 750 Mhz @ 50C altho I think I will run it at 740. Got the memory to push a bit yet. Anyone no how to up the voltage on the x1800xt ?
