about the mushkin ram, that is some good $h!t. i havnt done a volt mod, but even without it i got my ram to do 220. once i do the volt mod (ive been too lazy to do it) i'm hoping i can get the ram to do 240, so i can get my chip to 3.6ghz (ive gotten the chip to 3.6ghz stable, but i had to use 3:2).

nice GD. i wish i had the money to go with WC, but right now, my air cooling is on par with water cooling. i dont think it would make much of a difference.

I've installed a 40mm fan bridged across the top of thr ram. It increased my fsb by about 10-12mhz with the same timings.

did you glue the fan to the heatspreaders or, how did you attach this?

also, that block on your NB looks percarious--- is that on there tight + secure? using those clips makes me nervous...............................

do ALL i865/875 mobos use those clips? I just looked at the Abit IC7 and AI7 and they seem to have the clips as well

 

[gustav]

yes all 865/875 boards use the clips and not the screw type, like AMD boards do.

 

[LuckMan212]

hmmmmmmm..... ok well at least I don't feel so bad now having bought the P4C800E

is there a master list of 'compatible' blocks that will work for WC setups using those clips? I read the stickies in the WC forum and did some searches but didn't find a definitive answer to that easily...

this post prolly belongs in the WC forum...

I used some clear double-sided tape for the fan and it's attached to the ram clips on the mobo blowing down.

Dangerden for w/c is the $h!t.

ok thanks... I am gonna peep at Dangerden and DTek they seem to be on top of their game....

as for the ram fan, you mean you taped it to the little white clips at the ends of the dimm sockets?? hmm interesting I will have to evaluate further..

I guess ill have to get that switf fan for my nb

 

[gustav]

hey its not all that bad. i dont think the NB gets toasty enough to need WCing. i think the swiftech air cooling solution is enough for most rigs.

 

[ciku]

yeah.. but mine is not hot to touch.. with my current rig, i think i should be fine without it

 

[LuckMan212]

true well I have a swifty mcx159 on the way... we'll see if it helps...

it just seems a waste to have a fancy WC setup and not WC your NB for a few extra bucks... plus more tubes = looks cooler! heh

 

[ciku]

that fan is more expensive than my cpu fan

 

[LuckMan212]

well, "you get what you pay for", in most cases

 

[ciku]

hahaha yeah yeah! works well though, so i dont really need to get expensive things... im confuse on with ram to get

Yes...it's a small fan from an ati video card.

i got a little 40mm sunon on there now with some of that radio shack double sided sticky roll...
seems to be working (sticks are coooooler ) but i still cant get above 279 fsb and stay prime stable..

supposed to be getting 2 or 3 new m0 cores in the mail today so hopefully I'll be rockin by tonight

 

[ciku]

m0 cores? hmmm

 

[LuckMan212]

m0 core = SL6Z3/Z5 P4 CPU = hopefully a good o/c'er
