thats why its pretty tempting...hahaha well...wait till the Q6600 to come first..wont be here till august sigh...cant wait to try it personally...had done for other friends...1.45v @ 390X9 FSB is easy and orthos stable..temps hovering around 70C with sunbeam CCF...a very eager approach indeed...

Actually, I think for most "stable" / mainstream overclocking the risk of premature death from heat is overrated.

I have a AMD Tbred B from 2003 running overclocked and overvolted since 2003 24/7 through floods and droughts doing SETI@Home/BOINC without any issue, even though I have stopped recently to safe electricity as it is no longer a sensible machine crunch on in addition to its primary torent function.

That job has now been passed on to a C2D machine that is following its gallant steps, these time running 100% on overclocked/overvolted CPU + GPU 24/7, running with junction temperatures exceeding 70C.

Lets see how long it will last, but from experience (have another 2.67GHz celery doing the OC thingy for years until the motherboard gave up) the CPU is not likely to die prematurely - it will more likely be obsoleted before it will die due to the shortening of its life from overclocking.

sigh my oldies e6300 cant got anywhere, stuck at 3.01ghz, even tried to push vcore till 1.55 no use... could it be bcoz of my mobo? P965-ds3 rev 1.1? i'm really sure no problem on my ram side, gskill ddr2 1000 but run at 860, 1:1

How about if u sdisable the ram link first? Then oc ur CPU

anyone know how to oc with laptop?

heard of it...but no..dont try it..malaysia doesnt have such a cool climate

Added on February 23, 2009, 8:42 ami need some advice regarding liquid cooling...im going for the thermaltake bigwater kit...

is it safe for 24/7 operation..and if there's a leak...what will happen to my system? is there non-conductive liquid coolant available in malaysia?

One of the risks in using a WC set up is leaks. If u dont mind the noise, why dont u get some high end HS then?

and btw, whats ur budget?

hi guy noob ocer here weekend malacan never though got moc here @lyn

the liquid cooling kit's budget is confirmed already...im going for the thermaltake big water SE...
HSF wont do much...as high end ones are really huge..and will have mounting problems in my casing which is an i-cute

i think i can use pt tape to overcome the leakage probs..but right now..unsure of liquid's 24/7 operation and also the coolant of choice..can i use automobile radiator coolant?...the coolermaster one is quite expensive IMO

wonder if any experience WC user in melaka ...really need these advice

any user wanna sell amd x2.pm me cheap² punya

No experience in it, my only WC set up was with my friend`s Astek LCLC for around 2 weeks or so. Just CPU and GPU kit, very compact

btw....where can i find decent and cheap inline water pumps? something small and around 200~300LPH ...i think the thermaltake bigwater se pump is crappy

i doubt can find in Mka shops. Try to ask PC World, they might be able to order for u, but will be costly

Bonchi... u can pm bryanyeo87 for an inline pump... i think he still has some nirox in stock...

This 500 LPH one costs 22.97 pounds.

dB-1 Compact 12v Pump
SOurce:http://www.coolercases.co.uk/acatalog/Pump.html

anyone know any shops at melaka can mod casing?

man..this kit is a headache (maybe cause its free) leaks here and there...the pump is quite good...but there's leak as well!!

been spamming PTFE tapes like mad...and everything is all patched up except the pumps...might resort to sealants as last resort lol..

i think nirox will be over-powered...due to my loop which consists of 3/8'' tubes only

Mod yourself bro.

no tools le... the casing steel very hard...

Find Bliz. He seems like know where to mod it
