Doctor, have you modified your Vapo or anything? I'm running at 2v and only 1700mhz currently and my temps are at -6. If i go into the 1800's my temps are around -3, -2 at the condensor and the CPU back is really cookin'. Any ideas?
Well, yes, I have modded my VapoChill. Hell, I've modded everything else!
First, don't use the heater pad on the CPU. With these Athlon's, at these speeds, you don't need it. I have taken mine apart many times, and have never found any condensation.
Also, I bought 2 Sunon fans that are the same size as the one in front of the condensor, but faster. I mounted one, blowing in over the additional hard drive bays, at the bottom, front of the case. It gets the needed aiflow over my raid array, and into the case.
I also removed the power converter from the front of the compressor, and velcro'ed it to the outside, top left of the case, between the chassis, and the outside cover. Then I put the other Sunon where that thing used to be, blowing out.
It's like the hot winds from the Sahara comming outa there, but it brought my temps down considerably.
I hope this helps you out, and if what I just said doesn't make any sense to you, post another thread in the "cooling" forum, requesting some pictures. I will do my best to post some.
Doctor
