Keep in mind the GPU is also on the same watercooling loop as the CPU. I think those are reasonable temp.

Heck...I use home depot tubing, for $3 you get as much tubing as you want, it works as good, it flexible, and don't have any problems. Also use distilled water with some blue food coloring so it matches my blue fans. I have a AMD X2 4600 2.4Ghz OC to 2.7Ghz idles @ 27C and 45C load GPU bfg...

It's alive, it's alive. Could of not done without everyone's help in this forum. Everyone is simply great!!!!!! I've been struggling with this for the last 3 days, today I called in sick from work, I couldn't sleep at night knowing the computer is malfunctioning, it was bordering me day...

Yup...cool and quite is disabled, and I manually locked the multiplier. Of all the years I've had computers, I've never had anything like this happen to me. This is very odd and weird, I've tried searching on the net for someone that this has happened to, and nothing. I'm going to have to...

Thanks a lot for everyone's help. Got Mussels, it couldn't have been easier than it was, pretty much straight forward. :rockout: Thumbs up for Mussels. Was able to boot from the USB, flashing was as easy as it gets. I could not believe it how easy it was. Again, thanks everyone, I've...

If you can send it to this email it would be great!!!!!! As I still haven't figured it out how to get it done. viper2bite@yahoo.com Thanks a lot

I flashed it with the flashing program that came with the Asus MB called (Asus update). It said BIOS incompatible after I upgraded to the new version and tried to go back to the previous one.

I've just cleared the CMOS a few times, still didn't work. Unfortunately I'm unable to check CPUid, the computer just hangs, never makes it to Windows possibly due to the multiplier reading 3.1 Ghz instead of 2.7Ghz. Thanks for the tips, hopefully someone else has encountered this problem...

I'm running Windows XP Home Edition, with a Asus Crosshair MB, and a AMD AM2 X2 4600 2.4G I've had the computer OC to 2.7Ghz without any problems for months now. Today I decided to upgrade the BIOS, that went just fine. And it was also a big mistake. For some reason I can no longer get...

I bought the Thermaltake Blue Orb, I've been happy with it, I even pulled some numbers to compare it to stock At the same time I did some 3DMark06, and CPU Mark 2.1 test to see what my gains were when overclocking. Video card is a Ati 1900XTX OC to 688/792 AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600 2.4Ghz CPU Fan...

I recommend build your own myself. I just built one for my Ati1900xtx only not the CPU, I was tired of hearing the 1900XTX sounding like a jet, plus I was getting 76C @ load with the fan at 100% This is what I got: D-Tek 3/8ID barbs $5 D-tek Fuzion GFX GPU Block $46 Danger Den CPX1 Pump...

Here is a complete set for under $200 Swiftech APOGEE GT $45 Swiftech MCR220 rad $51 D-TEK Customs DB-1 pump $45 3/8ID tubing $15, or home depot $5 Coolant $15 "T" line home depot $4 3/8ID barbs $4 For $180 dollars you have a cooling setup that you can't beat, and you still have...

As you all know the ATI 1900XTX, is one of the hottest running GPU out there, and a noisy one when the fan is at 100%. Due to the reasons above, I decided to get a water cooling system for my GPU. Most people go with water cooling for the CPU first; however, I decided to do the opposite. I am...

Here is my case,

I had nothing to do all day (for once) I decided to see how good my CPU cooling fan was compared to the stock fan that came with the CPU. I was happy with the fan since day one, however I had no numbers to compare it with, at the same time I did some 3DMark06, and CPU Mark 2.1 test to see what...
