This is my first post here but I have been around the block a few times. I have been fighting heat issues with my chip and have finally come to the conclusion that I need to get it stabilized at a lower temp before I can pursue any more clocking. The Chilltec just isn't made to handle the temps of an Extreme Ed. Pent D at moderate clocking. Once I get to around 45*C stability becomes an issue when running Prime 95 although I have ran OCCT for over an hour with no problems and have ran Memtest for about 12 hours with no issues. Prime just seems to hit the cpu quite a bit harder.
Anyways , I am planning on just water cooling the chip and have an idea for a custom build. I want to be able to achieve a system that will sustain a cpu temp of no more than 45*C and be able to get my voltage up to 1.4(@1.32v now) if needed. I know that this cpu has a lot left in it and the ram is just getting warmed up. It's just a cooling factor at this point and the fact that it's a Pentium D doesn't help either. I'm just stubborn about moving up to an Extreme C2D and I don't want to drop the cash for one , yet.
Is there an average or method to figure out what the water temp will be at in the radiator/reservoir ? I'm planning on doing a light chilling and need to know about the coolant temps so that I can avoid condensation.
Sorry about being so long winded. Any suggestions or ideas highly appreciated!
