What exactly is max head in a pump.

IDL if you guys know Arcegnical from [H]. He is suggesting I get the DD pump I linked you guys to.

Head determines the pressure it is able to pump against. The DB-1 isn't a very good pump for restrictive blocks like the EK Supreme.

Get a MCP355 and an XSPC res top for the best performance. It's only a few dollars more than the 655 and Microres combo you were looking at, will perform better, and will greatly simplify your loop.

Second best is the MCP655 + MicroRes.

Third would be a MCP350 + XSPC top.

Last would be the DB-1.

I found a 655 for 40$

How bad is the DB-1?

+1

Sometimes you just bite the bit of $$$ and end up happier in the end.

I didn't know there was a scale for these sorts of things... do the math yourself

Thrackan · Apr 21, 2009

I'm going to order a 355 anyway as soon as my top+res come in. Might be more noisy, but I'll just figure out a way to RPM control it.

Binge · Apr 21, 2009

It's only noisy if you have it touching metal. Put a pad or good mount on it and it will not make a sound.

3 months.

Heh if it's the batch # he says then it doesn't have a warranty anymore. That's an old batch.

Ahhhh right, I am with you know :eek:

..... used chip.

N4cot1c · Apr 21, 2009

I found a cheap 350, so I picked it up. Looking on getting top now.

mudkip · Apr 22, 2009

Ordered a new Core i7 920 , let's hope it's a D0

N4cot1c · Apr 22, 2009

He told me something about a blue impeller doesn't allow for the mod.

Binge · Apr 22, 2009

Sucks, that's a lot of power you're missing out on. Might as well just get a 655?

PaulieG · Apr 22, 2009

Now that there are more people with i7 rigs, I'd like to start a database of overclocks and vcore. Could everyone please post their 24/7 stable overclock and with actual vcore? Please include a cpu-z screenshot!

N4cot1c · Apr 22, 2009

Someone has a MCR-320, 655 and microres combo for 85$. IDK if I should go for it and strap 6 of these fans on.

I think you need a seperate thread just for numbers,
go with batch, stepping, clocks, vcore, vdimm... a
nd what ever else i am missing.
it would be a valuable resourse

Binge · Apr 22, 2009

We actually already have that thread.

I agree, though I hesitate to start it, since I'm very busy these days. Work full time, graduate school and kids. Moderating and tweaking is about all I have time for. How's the DO treating you?

I am just putting the classified in my bench,
but i also have the phase ready to go, i am getting itchy...

Binge · Apr 22, 2009

Looks like our Batch List thread went the way of the D0ED0E

mlee49 · Apr 22, 2009

Paulige,

Great idea on the voltage/OC database. I'd like to get a lower voltage overclock that isn't so freakin hot! I'll find a few screen shots and post'm later this week.

Are the new D0 steppings available in the US yet?

Yes. However, unless you order from a sight that promises a DO like tankguys, your chances are limited to less than 50%. Unfortunately, you also pay a premium for a guaranteed DO.
