Hi All, I have a P4 3.2e stepping EO, on a IC7G Max III, with 1 Gig of Geil PC4000, and a TruePower 550.The CPU cooling is the now discontinued swiftech 226w air cooled pelt with a Vantec tornado running on a seperate meanwell psu.I'm only able to get to about 3.85ghz stable, though I can boot and play SOME games at 4.0ghz if I bump the voltage up to 1.525 which seems to high for this stepping cpu, oh and the memory is running 1:1 btw.
Now I also own the Swiftech 226w water cooled pelt, a Thermochill 120.3 radiator, MPC650 Pump, and 1/2" id tubing with a t-line.I have the system hooked up and running to leak test and bleed.All is well there.I was planning on having everything outside of the case except of course the TEC/Waterblock
Now as I sit here thinking about ripping out this noisy air pelt and installing the water pelt, I'm wondering if its even worth the hassel or if I'm just wasting my time.Is the water version of this pelt going to be enough for this hot prescott.
