OCing phenom II 955

A good water block will remove heat from a cpu much faster than almost all air coolers.

Then the ambient matters more on the rad then the block.

Your air cooler relies solely on ambient and a good seating. More fans may not cut it....

Wait yur calling myAIO a air coolrr? Its just too expensive i want othr stuff xD

[pckid9234]

so heres some screenies and if you need any others let me know haha

[Mr.Scott]

Need the memory tab, not so much the SPD tab.

Yes that's what I'm calling it. There are air coolers that are just as effective.

Minimum Rad should be 120.2

A really awesome water block is called the Heat Killer. Mainly for 1366 and 2011 sockets, but would give you an idea of what a real water block looks like and what it can do.

It's 400 grams of heat removing Copper. Probably weighs as much as your entire AIO....

I was just checking lol.. I know its not the best but hey 4.0ghz and 1.524 vcore... An max temps around 41c im pretty happy. Im gonna see if i can eek out more. As i said savings for more important things... A boat or a older vette lol... The only reason im ocing/ pushing vcore like this is because of f@h as you read/ know my pc has just about zero stress xD

An max temps around 41c im pretty happy

Lets have a load screen shot of after an hour of full load. I'd like to see the core and Cpu temps if you can swing that?

ok fine i admit it i put two like little fans on the pc to hit 41-42C but here it is

[pckid9234]

Heres what the pc lookd like lol

Nice temps! Just wanted to see what your talking about. Now I see, and I like it

The fans are a great idea. Looks like it's working!

OK the only other thing I can say is that some cpu's are stable at x speed and no more. For example, my 1090T that I de-lidded was only good for 3.8ghz stable not a stitch more and load temps where in the late 30c's.

If your 4ghz is stable multi only. you could start raising the FSB bar a little like I mentioned previously. Might as well get the max from it

with out the fans it maxed at like 45-46 and im like sh1t i gotta prove shrimp wrong so i looked for the best alternative. Mom said no to me moving an AC unit so i grabbed the next best thing xD
Anyways, would the FSB help stabilize it... That is what I am looking at now to do... I guess if you can run F@H 24/7 then you have a fully stable machine lol

Additional Comment:

also could this help temps?http://www.frozencpu.com/products/14...l=g36c435s1106

[Mr.Scott]

The fans you're using have more CFM, and you have them already. Use 'em.
If you're not stable at 4 gig now then raising the FSB is not what you want to do.

then what can i do... and which ones the xigmatek (or however you spell it)?
the fans on there now move 110 cfm

or 252 cfm? http://www.frozencpu.com/products/79...l=g36c435s1109

[Mr.Scott]

I was referring to the fans on the table. lol
Seriously though, there comes a point where just moving air through the rad won't help any more. If you've already got 2 110 CFM fans on, then more CFM isn't gonna help. You need more surface area, that means another rad.
I found out just like you. Shrimpy knows.
Your temps are still decent. If you can't get it stable at 1.55v then you have no choice but to back the OC down or improve your cooling.

but ok on the fans... **** i really dont wanna buy a kit maybe my next go around with a cpu and board i will
been folding 45 minutes now
i put the GPU back to stock clocks... it was at 999/2216 and 1087mv... i stressed it using heaven and also evga oc scanner and both worked.... but i was up to 20k ppd estimated now its saying 10k hmmm oh well we will see i will give it a week of basically solid folding and if all is good then i will bump fsb up a bit maybe
