Hey, I'd like to thank all of the people in the forums who have posted so much info on water cooling. I was previous running a HP 4450 (pentim celeron @ 366:( ), so i decided to do and upgrade.

System: IC7-G(bios 1.5), P4 2.6C @ 3.1(240fsb) , 512 corsair pc 3500 xms, AIW radeon 9800 pro, white water, d-tek core w/shroud, aluminium fan, ehiem 1250. WD Raptor,

I have read that this mobo reports temps at 10-15C higher than actual. Currently it reads 47C in bios and in sandra. Is Sandra wrong too?

With the overclock and WW, is 47C, which should be more like 37C a good temp?

I currently have an air conditioner pumping 67F air. Ram is at 2-3-3-7.

How much more could I push this baby and how should I do it? I would like 3.5, but i know 3.1 is cool.

I would get a temp probe and measure your temps. Then shoot for 3.5ghz. BTW thats one hell of an upgrade you must really be enjoying that system.

make sure there is enough actic silver or whatever, between the block and CPU, double check that. Your T seam a bit high, especially with all the quality WC staff you have??
