Once you go water you never go back

That's right, and soon he'll be wanting to water cool his other rigs too ... It gets addictive pretty quickly :)

My kit should also be ran at 1.2 V but I have never had any problems with 1.15 V. This article should give you some idea about water cooling basics : Water Cooling Guide For Beginners

sorry deafty for swamping your thread

No worries,.

I'm currently in quandry over air/water cooling myself.
Will post pics of my rig later. Got some issues with current skythe mugen 2 cooler in regards to ram slots which in turns dictates my fan setup.

I would love to do away with it all but it's the $ that's got me. Prof Jim mentioned the cheaper all in 1 budget editions which may very well suffice for my needs.

I need to clear up space around the CPU and can't afford a full water system. It's just that it feels like the kids edition to water cooling . Might have to rename it as "space saving cooling on a budget".

oh the joys of all in one coolers



dont know if they have improved since then but thank god it decided to fall apart before i installed it

[profJim]

As I recall the CoolIt Domino was the first low cost, all in one water cooling system. There were many problems reported with broken barbs that were too brittle. A web search using coolit domino problem will provide many links to failed units.

had a bit more time and just got some corsair vengeance ram,this ram let me use stock vccio voltage of 1.015v and 1.5v for dram,before on old ocz i needed nearly 1.2v vccio and 1.65v for same 1600mhz speed,hop this helps you a little deafty if you choose to oc,temps are still high as im using poor cooler at the mo,did manage to get cpu voltage down to 1.344v for 4.5ghz

Wazza, R U using an Asus board?

[wazza300]

Yeah it was cheap/broken(missing CPU pin) that's the only reason

I was just kidding, no worries here!

I almost thought you hacked that app to work on a Gigabyte board, but then I figured who'd waste time just for that :)
