Corsair Hydro Series H50 Cooling Club

Here are my temps under full load at 3.8 GHz

should be joining this club too in 2 weeks time or so,

nice temps CP

hmmm, can you get a bette pic of that area if possible?



Looks great bro, glad you got it going

Maybe this will help..... I can't take a better pic right now because I don't want to disturb people watching the movie by me. But I do have some pics that are from before I had the H50. So this would definitely give you a better view of where I am talking about putting it....

If these aren't what your looking for when I get more time tomorrow I will post more later. Hopefully these will help.... but let me know if you still need better ones

Your temps at full load are 43c with a Phenom II CPU??? Damn good my friend how the hell are you getting them that low?

PS. Nice wallpaper Wink Wink!

While not all cores were going 100% I played Left 4 dead 2 and temp didn't get above 38C.

I might suggest flipping the rad - would make it look cleaner since the piping wouldn't be as kinked.

Otherwise, nice job!

I get what you mean but placing the fan blowing onto the board will be a bit difficult

Like my made from scratch wallpaper? Yeah the rig is on a tech bench too, so that helps.

welcome aboard, I see a GX2 without clothing

 

[Gas2100]

its keep it cooler to take its clothes off which is a shame as i love the EVGA graphics on the GX2

i find it embarrasing how small my gx2 makes my motherboard look

Don't feel bad, when I had mine it also went streakin'

just wish i had a i5/i7 to really see the full power of the beast

Here is the best run I had with it and my i7

Wow I am actually doing pretty good then with my i5 750 @ 3.8 with 5870@ 915/1250..... My highest score was 23609.

To bad this is the best pic I have of it....

Makes me happy I am not that far off of a i7 overclocked!

Question

what Programs other then 3dmarks pcmarks and memtest are you guys using? In particular do you guys have a good stress test program that I can use so I can see what temps and such are at full load?

 

[blkhogan]

what Programs other then 3dmarks pcmarks and memtest are you guys using? In particular do you guys have a good stress test program that I can use so I can see what temps and such are at full load?

Run LinX and OCCT.

 

[20mmrain]

I use 20 runs of LinX at the max RAM I can use. Then if that passes I use about 5 runs of Intel Burn test just to make sure. I know that seems redundant but..... I have had a case were it passes one Linpack type of test but it won't another. So That's why I run it for only 5 runs.... just to make sure.

After that.... I will run Prime95 on blend for about 3 hours. If that passes..... then I will game for a couple hours.....

If everything passes then I consider mine stable!

As far as my video card goes..... I will run Furmark for about 7 to 8 mins.

If that passes then I will run 3 of loops of Future Mark in performance mode.

If that passes then I do the game test for a couple of hours.

If all that passes with my video card.... I consider it stable.

Good programs.....

LinX
Intel Burn Test
Prime95
Memtest86+
Furmark
Futuremark
OCCT

Good Temp monitors and setting monitors.....

Core temp
Real temp
HW Monitor
CPU-Z
GPU-Z
Any Software that came with your MOB.... Like
Asus Probe
Gigabyte EZ tune
EVGA E-Leet
Exc....



Between all of these if you can't find what your looking for.... they don't make it

Question

You guys got webistes where I can get OCCT, prime95, and linX? Going to be using them to test on a Phenom II x4 965

Give me a 5870 and see how close you get That was with a GX2 bro, the 5870 is a better card. However, I am not saying your run is bad. 23k with your setup seems very healthy and you should be happy about it

Salute to you buddy! I had know Idea that was with a GX2! A very nice run sir indeed then!

But man we will have to rumble bro!!! Because I got good news! I am finally up at 4ghz bro..... I contribute a lot of my overclock to your help!

I wrote all about it here....

Salute again sir!

This Vantage Bench was done not at my normal Clock speed with my 5870 for Benching. I should easily be able to break P19K when I invoke that. But I am still breaking in my CPU at 4ghz. Don't want to give it to much to quick

yeah bro I was trying to hit 27k with that card but fell just a few points short. After I got rid of it I found out how to go over 4.6 GHz for 3d benching on the CPU, that should have gave me the 100 points or so to hit 27k. Anyhow, I don't have that card anymore so no good crying about it now.

COngrats on your 4GHz, the more your tweak and learn the higher you'll go, it just takes time and patience.

Well thanks again my friend for your help! I will say I feel allot more confident after tweaking more and more. I don't find myself getting as panicky as I used too. I finally realized that it is hard to kill one of these modern day CPU's. Unless you are being really stupid!

But about your 5870. Damn that is a really high score!!! What were your settings on it???

Also don't worry about crying about it man..... you need a shoulder to cry on LOL! Hey if you know someone who wants to trade two 5830's for my 5870 I'd be willing

Yeah, it just takes some time for you to lose that fear of burning something up

As far as me, I never had a 5870 I had a GX2. I have a 5770 now.

Whoops I miss read..... I thought you said you used to have one. Still what were your video card clocks (GX2)? Also what do you have that 5770 up to now?

the GX2 clocks should be in that last image I posted, that's the run up on the BOT.

My 5770 is not overclocked at all. No need to

For benching I have upped the core about 30 MHz and stopped there, can go higher though.

New build with H50

Well after a few days and some messing with my Bios I got some new idle temps going
