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.

 

[Wrend]

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.

 

[kbrady1979]

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 see the point of that sort of stuff, and using 1 core is cheating in my books!

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 :sarc: 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

 

[kbrady1979]

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.

 

[kbrady1979]

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.

 

[paulpicks21]

To be honest Kelly I am looking at a dual rad closed loop to last me maybe 6 months, they look a lot nicer than my current cooler, I really want to go custom water next year maybe sooner as money will not be an issue but for now I want a nice closed loop. How about the H100i?

Thanks. Yeah, it's a decent air cooler as those go at least, but still not water.

I'm thinking about maybe picking up an H80i, if it will fit well enough in my case. If not then I may eventually upgrade my case before too long here and go with something like the H100i/Swiftech H220, but we'll see. I'm keeping my options open. It's fun messing about with this stuff, but it isn't really a priority for me.

...

Maybe I'll distill some heavy water using electrolysis and use that in a loop. It's added density and thermal conductivity may help to cool things down more. LOL

Yeah man it's fun, and I agree it's not a priority it's just a hobby really to many of us.

If your case will accept 120/140mm fans, you have several options for a dual rad system. The NZXT Kraken X60, the Corsair H110 or H100, Thermaltake 2.0 or 3.0 Extreme, Silverstone Tundra TD02, and the Asetek 570LX. Cooler Master has a couple dual rad systems but I've not been impressed with them at all.

Looks the swiftech H220 is still around in Europe in manies online shops. And looks also that particular watercooler have a leak problem reported. HERE one example of those probs.

It is still one of the coolest pre-filled watercooling loop around!

 

[Solarstarshines]

Hey Guys, I would like to take the time to thank everyone of you on this Thread

I will not name you all but you know who you are I finally got my machine up to full scale my SSD has finally got itself back to state

The issues I were going through many of you chimed in and gave me personal help which I can't even express how grateful I am to receive

As I am new to the whole Intel thing again haven't owned since a custom P4 hell this is a whole different animal and it almost broke me

But i'll never give up that is why the forum is so great

Swiftech Withdraws H220 Liquid Coolers from the US Market

A Guy

 

[kbrady1979]

That's it Bill. Turns out it is only in the US. Also, I think the problems were with leaks and pump failures.

Tommy, that rig is absolutely smokin'! Highest WEI you can hope for. Glad everything is up to snuff and you got the issues worked out. Great job

 

[Britton30]

Yup Asetek makes the Thermaltake Water 2.0 Pro I have.

 

[kbrady1979]

I thought they did Gary. Asetek can take credit for arguably the best closed loop systems out there in my opinion.
