And Paul........what are you doin to us bud? LOL

It was just a mild OC Kelly lol.

I actually think I can't get any higher with this CPU, I was aiming for 5.4GHz but after many failed attempts I had to settle for that measly speed

This screenie makes my OC look awesome lol

I'm on the list twice how sweet is that

You need to beat your first entry Solar mate, you know it's possible, once you find your feet you will I am sure.

Nice going, Paul!

Man, that Vcore you have there is pretty massive, but I guess that's what it takes.

And yeah, not going to attempt that on my system, that's for sure.

I don't see the point of that sort of stuff, and using 1 core is cheating in my books!

Yeah, I agree.

It's a good chip, that's for sure........next thing you know you'll be insulating the socket, chipping off dry ice and turning off 3 of the 4 cores.

Yeah the LN2 is being delivered tomorrow lol.

I don't either, but that's how the big boys roll lol

Thanks Wrend, You have done very well to get to 4.9 IMO and you are on air right? I think you need a nice bit of water, if you don't want to go mad then the Swiftec H220 is supposed to be great as a closed loop, I am seriously thinking of getting one when I get the new switch 810 in the next couple of weeks. But if you want to go hardcore then it has to be a custom loop. I want to try that maybe next year and I think the Switch 810 case will be an excellent case for it, I need to do a lot of research into custom water before I do anything though, but if Steve (essenbe) can do it then anyone can. (sorry Steve cts10).

lol yeah the Bigboys with Money rolls of Hunnies throwing them in the air for fun

That kind of money you would want to build a freaking AI system

@Paul I been very tempted to play with my oc settings but I wanted to lick some of the issues the board has giving me which seems to be subsiding

on a side note I figured my 6gb sata port was the culprit plus the cable that was being used it was brand new any who I swaped it out and put it back in the sata 6gb and it works like it should now earlier before that it gave me that hardware message I was talking to Kelly about that pretty much was the root of all evils a bad frigging cable

I would hate to imagine if it was a rattle snake instead of the cable it would have bit me a hundred times and I still wouldn't have gotten the message lol

Paul, I don't know if you'll be able to get the Swiftech H220. They had patent issues with Asetek and I believe have quit making that particular model. Surprisingly enough, even though it got rave reviews quite a few people have had issues after a few months of use. It may be isolated issues, but I was seriously let down when people started having issues with it. If you keep your old water cooler, go ahead and try one out, and if it goes tits up.....put the Antec 920 back into rotation.

I don't blame ya at all Solar, it's important to get the rig 100% Stable in every way before messing around with hardcore OC's. You will get there soon and then I know you will be hitting this thread with some serious speeds.

I was gonna order one today Kelly, It was in stock and I put it in my basket, but then I found out I had to wait until the 1st of Sept to buy my case and cooler.
Its a long story but I will save a lot of money if I buy through my Brother in Law and although I have the cash now he cannot put it though the books or order it until the 1st sept

I have not heard of the issues with it, I will have to look into that.

I wish I could remember where I saw it........some review site and some forum I believe. They have been out of stock at Newegg for the longest time, because of the lawsuit. It may also just apply to the states though. You should look into one of the Asetek units.....those guys have been doing this forever, and half of the closed loop systems out there are made by Asetek. Your Antec, my Intel, the Thermaltake(I think), NZXT Krakens, and some of the Corsairs are all made by Asetek. I'll only buy one of those because they are hands down THE best.
