IS THAT NOT WHAT THIS FORUM IS ABOUT SORRY IM IN THE WRONG PLACE
only jokeing i havnt broke any warranites cos all i did was increase the both fbs on the cpu and mem ....i didnt mess with any voltage or even touch the graphics ...this board was designed with overclocking in mind hence the opions in the bios0 -

Nice rig
Very impressive cpu temperature, especially with intel stock HSF. Like that Asus utility as well. Bring in the H20 and up those voltages :cool:
Why did you buy from itdirect? Those prices ain't that bad, but online would have been a lot cheaperJammer wrote:4-5-5-15 :rolleyes:
DDR2 has higher latency. The lowest in the market atm is 4-3-3-12. Also remember that he hasn't upped the vdimm yet0 -

i dont have a credit card and those fools at paypal will only let me take money from my account into my irish bank acc ...and not put money into it
the guys in itdirect where pretty good at getting these parts for me......... they and peats are the only ones who seem to be jumping on the pci-e bus at the moment ...ive to pick up the x800xt this week so it will be nice to see some of the scores i get on that .....at idle with stock hsf with side panel of im getting 20c ...i cant get over that ..ive used mbm5 ...asus probe and other temp displays
the kingston ddr im useing 1gb "got another 512mb yesterday " will go to 633 without any probs due to the asus board having a native 600 drr ...
on sisoftsandra i got 11800 or so on the cpu benckmark and 5500 on the memory
..i still havnt messed with the voltage till i get the x800xt ...then i will hit it through the roooooooooooooooooo :cool: offfffffffffffff0 -

Those new Martox are fast but not quite as fast as the Raptors from reviews Iv seen. They are damm nice tho 0 -

aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh im going to go mad ....just went to install the bleedin graphics card ....and sussed i cant use it "today anyhow" there is the new power socket on it as seen here in the lower card http://www.tweakers.net/nieuws/34205 ...the new 6 pin 2x3 plug is needed for this ..im waiting for a new psu from itdirect they should have one tomorrow ..im getting the neopower 480watt because it has the new 24 pin power cable needed for the motherboard ..im using the normal 20 pin at the moment ...sh#t to it ...more bloody money . :mad: . i feel a divorce coming on
ive just been on the asus site they do give a converter for the gpu its the normal 4 pin molex that goes into the 6 pin pci-e power socket ..i wonder if peats sell them ...them swines in sapphire should have put one in the box
heres the snaps of the sisoft sandra cpu benchmark not bad ahh

i got the dangerden maze4 gpu block on radeon x800 xt pe and it works fine.
maybe dangerden didn't update their pages yet, but there's no issues with this block. and it cools the baby to under 40C full load. 0 -

where did you pick that up netman ..and what type of watercooling set up have you got.. i must get on to hightide . to be honest .im a bit lost when it comes to watercooling..i have an general idea of how it works and so on what has caught me eye is pellit cooling what would you think of that ..any feed back wouuld be great ....thanks0 -

i got it off someone on boards a while back. really good waterblock, it had to be cleaned and sanded but it works great.
i had an innovatek graph-o-matic on it before, and there's 2-3C difference between the two blocks.. innovatek is a very basic one (no channels, just water flowing over the copper block), and dangerden is a pretty complex block with a larger mass and water channels cut into it.
i also have a few spare parts lying around, if you're building a new watercooling kit i might have a few things you could use. got two tanks from innovatek that mount straight on to the pump (big and small one), makes filling and bleeding really easy, and i have a spare eheim 1048 pump (600 l/h). also have some tubing and anti-kink springs and a few other bits & pieces.
peltier cooling is something you'd rather stay away from, trust me
it sounds really good in theory, but it can get messy real easy. i've dabbled into it a few years back, eventually got it right, and then decided it just wasn't worth the hassle. if you want to do some extreme cooling i could help you build it properly. anyways, the biggest problem with peltiers is that it will cool down the cold side to sub-ambient temperatures, and that's when condensation occurs. the hot air will get in contact with the cold surface and hey-presto, you got a few droplets of water on your cpu/motherboard. proper insulation is the key, and when i say proper i mean nearly airtight insulation with silicone. gaskets and all that stuff still let enough air in to make a mess. and you need to insulate the INSIDE of the socket as well, since there'll still be some air left that holds a bit of moisture.
another problem with peltier cooling is that you need to cool the cpu AND the peltier block.. they create a tempeature difference between the two sides, and as long as you can cool down the "hot" side that means the "cold" side stays really cold and cools down the CPU quite nicely. for example with a 80-90W pentium4 and 100-120W peltier block, you'll need a system that can handle 200W of heat. watercooling can do that for you, but any other component in the watercooling loop is going to get hot water flowing down and for example you'll end up heating the graphics card instead of cooling it
i'll drop you a pm if you want to hear more about it.. also got some photos of the whole thing done on air cooling.0 -

Peltier cooling is good, temerature wise, but dodgy as hell. It has been described as the most dangerous cooling for pc's. friom what ive read, condensation is the big problem with it. U'd be safer with phase change. Pelt cooling can get gr8 temps though, u just have to really protect ur hardware against condensation. If u are not familiar with watercooling or phase change , then i wuld not go for pelt cooling, unless u can get someonje to do it that knows what they are doing. Go for a mach II or vapochill man. And watch those temps in minus
. If ur using pelt just be careful and take ur time 0
then again a few alienware and savarow systems would put a big hole even in the 7 mill i won last night :eek:
