Nice, how high are temps and is it stable?
I just use 4Ghz for daily use as I find it fast enough
I am using a Black Ice GTX480 in my loop with a EK Supreme and an MCP 655 pump, just got all of it a couple of days ago, and as far as temps go it dropped from 74C at 4.35Ghz to 65C with a 19-20C ambient.

I'm working on it.... temps are around 75c atm

congrats Bex! keep overclocking

[Elemental_Dragon]

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH - new BIOS is nice - loving the v drops when it's not required but JESUS!!! I want my BCLK of 223 back!!!

*Face palm*

I forsee a hardware mod coming on... 4.6Ghz just isn't fast enough. If I can manage 4.7Ghz then I'm in the HWbot league again...

Unless you guys want to upgrade me to a UD7?

Hi Bex

Is that F10K bios being so problematic with BCLK?

[Elemental_Dragon]

F10 lets me up to BCLK222 easy, I noticed the multiplier goes up to 21 AND there's TB Enable option? I haven't played with that exactly BUT I think my board might be about to kick it. Won't boot with anything past 4.2ghz TB disabled.

Just loves booting and BSOD'ing once Windows tries to kick up even with known working settings and adjusted settings. Think it's the board rather than the BIOS though as I rolled back and same thing - Not been the same since like F8A but the newer BIOS's let me use lower volts which keep my temps down.

Really disapointed that my stable clocks are slowly dropping though

BTW - can we please get some "modify post" buttons? It's hard to fix broken images without them!

~Bex

[runn3R]

Modification is only possible within a few hours after post is done.
But for you Bex I will try to be flexible  - just contact me by PM, then I will enable it for you to have longer time (1 or 2 days) to fix these pics' links.

[Elemental_Dragon]

Ah ok - well if you enable it the now I'll go fix the piccies (and add a few )

~Bex

[runn3R]

Done.  Please inform me after you'll finish updating / fixing / adding the pictures' links.

!!! - UPDATE - !!!

Didn't like the plain hosing. Decided to be adventurous....





Throw in some new powerful fans!







Decided on the Kaze's in the end. Denki was cack quality and poor air in comparision!

Also decided my pump was too weak for the job in hand...



Add an EK Dual D5 top and you get a monster pump!





How powerful?







........that powerful!!!

And last but not least! My new PSU! Silverstone 850W decided to chuck it. Gives power but the motherboard won't boot with it. I think there's a short in the 24pin but I CBA stripping it and testing etc

Just when you thought PSU's couldn't get any bigger....





Well that's all for now until I get my GPU sorted or under water and fix my mobo problems!
