Here are some of my E6850 overclocking results Watercooled

My 24/7 settings:


4GHz, only possible @ low ambient though a.k.a aircon

I'm using Abit IP35 Pro As for the watercooling, the waterblock is the very old Zalman ZM-WB2, very old swiftech radiator and Eheim 1048 pump All are discontinued products except maybe the Eheim pump. This watercooling set is actually given by one of my friend since he already upgraded to Fuzion block, MCP655 pump and MCP320 radiator (really thanks a lot to him). Still, it performs at least 5C better than Scythe Infinity with dual 3000+RPM fans I can't really afford myself a watercooling set

Will take pictures of my humble watercooling setup and post it later, my camera just ran out of batteries when I need it

Using quad low RPM fans on the radiator, I'm a fan of quiet cooling

Yes, I don't have a casing right now

Idle:


Load:


Ambient temperature is around 27~28C

I don't remember. Yes, but most are not Prime95 stable. To me, SuperPI/3DMark/suicide/etc runs don't count

Where did you get your temperature reading? If it's from your mainboard's sensor, then it's not comparable to mine My friend's Fuzion/MCR320/MCP655 is around 5C better than this outdated setup, readings from IP35 Pro, same mainboard. So the temperature can still exceed 50C if you are talking about readings from Abit IP35 Pro's sensor.

I couldn't afford a new watercooling set, so no upgrading

The temperature is only ok if you ask me Since my ambient is 28C. If no aircon then the ambient would be around 30-32C, so the temperature would be around 58C under normal condition. Keep in mind that this are readings from a mainboard sensor, so don't take it too seriously

Mine is L720Axxx, couldn't remember the last three numbers behind. My 4GHz prime screenshot is on the previous page.

Yeah, 1.55v+ is too much for aircoolers, it's totally impossible to keep the temperature under 60C unless you are living somewhere with 1337 ambient temperature

I stick to 3.9GHz @ 1.43v for 24/7 use

hahaha, no casing also Is that IP35-E?

Watercooling is the only way to go if you want good overclock on quads Aircooling is very very difficult unless you migrate to somewhere with very low ambient temperature
