Everybody says that, but my setup performs better in push. I wonder why that is?

Me too. It's because it works better.

the extra fan and HS i mounted ontop of my northbridge seems to be no help, my 780a northbridge is still @ 140 F with no matter of idle or load. it fluxes between 135 and 141 F

i fully believe if i can get the damn NB cooled the hell off it will help with stability

 

[Supreme0verlord]

How about getting a waterblock for it?

see mine never has that issue? only around 40C for the NB on my 780A guess thats the other difference between the crosshair II and the M3N-HT cause mine has a huge cooler on the NB

 

[Master}{]

I wonder if the coolers can be swapped between those boards, i might be able to find a dead crosshair

 

[Supreme0verlord]

Alright, I think I found my 24/7 clock here, can't really get it stable any higher than this, with reasonable voltage that is.

I still have a little more stability testing to do but I think this will be my 24/7 clock, for now.......

Can you give me a picture of the whole motherboard of your crosshair 2 looking down on it from the cpu socket, i want to see what the top(side) of the NB heatsink looks like clearence wise,

like if it was mounted in the case, a picture looking over the cpu to the top of the NB!

EDIT i could have just said give me all around pictures of the center block from 45 degree angles relative to the MB

that was easier to explain lol

up your VDDA by 2 settings then maybe you can do like me, i do 24/7 3550mhz but only 1.35 V

 

[Supreme0verlord]

There's only one problem, my MB doesn't have the VDDA setting

 

[Assassin48]

this is my new oc 3.7mhz with the 4gb of 1066 @ 5-5-5-15-2t

congrats bro, temps seem very good


I agree wile e. on my i7 setup, I switched the fans on my rad from pull to push and I saw about 5ºc on each core drop. idle and load. I was like

OK then. I thought it was just me. I was starting to doubt my results the last time I compared push and pull. Was starting to debate trying pull again.

it looks like they are spaced the same lol its worth a shot


these are out of a review

This is what I did with my NB to make it run cooler. Got an immediate 4-5 degs fall in load temps from 45-40. Idle is now around 38. Will add one more fan to cover the full heatsink. These are 40X10 mm fans.

BTW wanted to check with you guys, can I run two of these fans on the same 3 pin mobo header. These are 12v fans, so one is not a problem. Had to buy the 3 pin header seperately and fix it up. SO can I run two of the same header?

 

[ShadowFold]

Might want to get some heatsinks for the VRM's too man

Did you pull those off of those hard drive coolers, those work great for the chipset cooling.

Also do what ShadowFold said, cool those VRM's. That will help your OC.

 

[mav2000]

Yep, need to get some chipset coolers. Dont have much of a choice of that stuff where I live, so will have to make do with some basic anodised stuff. I bought that fan for like 3 dollars. They have a higher version which is based on the maglev technology and costs double, but would probably have no noise and would run at high rpm'. I have attached it using 3m double sided clear tape, so that it looks nice and not like a ghetto mod. I am probably going to add another fan and need your comments on weather that is ok, as I am a noob at electronics.

 

[ShadowFold]

You need some heatsinks on these before you get anything for the NB

he can get the enzotech copper ones they are the shit

 

[mav2000]

Well the only thing available here is the swiftech ones which if checked out on newegg dont seem to cut much ice. let me look around and see if I can find anything better. Also I have a OCZ vendetta 2 cooler in there, which is not in the pic. So will these mosfet coolers still fit?

Looks like i'm retiring from the PII club til the 955 comes out


CD's gonna take my 720 to new levels

im gunna kill it

 

[3dsage]

im gunna kill it

I plan on killing the 5400 as well, Never killed a chip before it will be my first "Fatality"

I will take it to 3.8GHZ you'll see...

lol now we see the difference between me and you i'm getting a $150 cpu and i'm 100% willing to turn it into molten silicon your getting a $50 chip and your going to try the same thing i need to find a better place to put my money

I dont have the balls to go extreme on anything that cost more than 100$. I know your exteme when it comes to OCing Didnt you melt a 720 like a day after you got it?

I have my V-moded 8800gt that will be getting exteme voltage when I get my WC loop setup, I dont mind cuz I got i for Sub 50$ bones, thank God for Craigslist idiots.

As for the 5400, Its just gonna be a temp chip til the 955B.E comes out so IDC

mine goes to car gf and PC so same basic thing
