The pump is a 10W Laing DDC 1T Pro, I was thinking of upgrading the fans but would need something with a controller on each. WOuld Noctua fan's hand le it better or are the current ones better than the Noctua ones?

Noctua would be quite a bit worse. What you're looking for is high pressure and CFM with reasonable noise. The PA series is optimised for flow rates upto 110CFm iirc. So fans like the ones below would do well, assuming you can find them. I'm having a terrible time finding high CFM fans that don't sound like Harrier engines. If you get really stuck SilverStone FM121 might do, but the quality's not all that good imo.

Sanyo Denki 109R1212H1011 or 109R1212H101

or

Panaflo FBA12G12U1A or FBA12G12H

I was going to put a GTS 512mb on the loop but might upgrade to a 120.3 if better fans & 120.2 wouldn't handle it

The PA120.3 would be a good move for that combined heat load.

What fans taht are available in the UK could you recommend ? I was looking at Noctuas new fan, Scythe 1600RPM or Sharkoons.
Ideally I want something that has its own speed controller so they can be turned down at night, otherwise it means buying a fan controller on top of 4 fans.

Trouble is to see any improvement you'd need to move from medium to high fans. Then the choices drop a lot. The Deltas are very high CFM, but the noise is just terrible. You can order Panaflo, can't give you a link sorry. I've had to import the Sanyo's in the past. For some reason decent high flow fans just aren't available in the UK. I bought a YS-TECH FD1225 from OcUK, but it turned out to a slower one. There's a Scythe 'Kaze' 3000. The best I can think of that has a speed controller found in the UK is the Silverstone FM121.




As for controlling them, it may be a bit much for some I know, but I just use the maximum current to calculate the right resistor on a two way switch and drop them to 5v or 7v. Or use a potentiometer, my main rig has a lot of fans hardwired to get rid of the connectors. They all feed into a diy controller with 12v/7v/variable rails, cost about £8 iirc.

I’m currently running a pair of Sanyo Denki 109R1212H1011 which I got from the states, I’ve tried the Panaflo FBA's and Sunon KD's and both had noisy motors at low speeds.
The Sanyo Denki's are an improvement but when you have a pair pushing out 100+cfm each it’s far from quiet!

Also worth noting they can start spinning with just 6volts and still shift quite a bit of air.

Thanks a lot fornowagain, think I'll get some of the Silverstone one you mentioned, found them for £10 each and I can get free delivery.
Shame about the Sanyo Denki's not being available over here though :(

if I knew what I was doing I would definitely look at a potentiometer

Nice over clock ginjaninja extremely low VID as well 1.31 (1.41) Excellent temps and on air. Congrats m8

Thankyou. Im pretty pleased with my first overclock... I think I have a good cpu but the asus maximus formula seems to have less legs (although that may be my inexperience talking). couldnt get stability out of the board, even at stock without reducing the speed of the 8500 ddr2 to 1:1 ratio.

as luck would have the gts 512 i purchased also seems a good clocker...currently standing no 3 on the crysis dx9 thread.:D

not sure wether i should lap the cpu / heatsink or not. The high heat test (middle one) gets to 70 degrees c.
 
Additional submission @ 3.2

So that as 800 Mhz over clock with a voltage reduction :confused:..love to know which of the bios settings seems to have eliminated the vdroop.

ive placed order for more case fans..Im sure that I can 3.6 ghz at happy temps with case closed / fans low/med then.

How come Core temp is showing 450x8 -3600MHz and CPUZ is showing 400x8=3200MHz in the same screenshot at the same time :confused:

I have got the same set up as you, aslo running 903 BIOS, I used CPUPLL 1.7 and FSB VTT1.7, DIMM= 2.14v in Bios= 2.22 actual. NB vcore 1.68 to get to 4095MHZ (455x9). VID is the same as your too. Obviously you may need a better cooler as you up the volts.
 
This is on air with a Freezer 7 Pro i will lower the Vcore to see if i can get lower temps.

Nice clock and temps for a Freezer Pro
 
well am off work till monday and with not much to do thought I would put this little graph together from the information in this thread... I thought it would be useful and help to answer the "what vcore do I need for this clock" questions...

The graph shows vcore vs clockspeed (blue line), it also shows vcore adjusted by individual CPU's VID (pink line) i.e. lower VID CPU need less vcore to achieve similar clocks... I have also included two trend lines for these... hopefully this should give people a good idea of what vcore they need to aim at for certain clocks..

For reference the average VID of the CPU's is 1.27... I.e. your CPU is less than this you probably need slightly less.. or higher slightly more
