TPU's Core i7 Overclocking and Feedback

I just noticed that my WC loop gives me the same temps with the pump on 12v as it does on 5v...:rolleyes:

SO... less sound from now on :D
 
Looking good Tom, including the artwork. I do wish I could get you to consider watercooling. You could get those CPU/NB temps down into the low 60's on load. :)

I know and for a air cooled x58 those are actually low.

OK so a longer run did make a difference... I stand corrected, my loop performs better at 12v.
 
How do you know if your pump is on 12v or on 5v?
 
Switch some wires on the molex :D

Planning on making a 3-way switch to go 5-7-12v soon.
 
Could you elaborate on it with pics or something? This might be useful information for everyone who has their i7 on water.

That's "basically" what I did, but I just made a converter from 12 to 5v.
I still need to figure out how to make a switch to switch between all 3 voltages though.
 
Sweet! I've got one of those molex splitters, I may make one of those to play with a rudimentary fan controller.
 
so now... what will your title be? and will it have i7 in it? :)
 
Have a i7 920 DO comming tomorrow,
so will start posting results based on my gig board
which has been rocking the OC's with my good i7 920 CO,
We'll see what the DO can Doh! :rolleyes:

D0 should have been called the RL for relabel.

that is what they said, but i had to take the chance, I remember when the first GO's came out, did the same thing, preorder fro m tankguys and that was a great move, so who knows.

I'm hoping for a little less heat, if it will do that then i am happy :toast:
 
trust me though...

on it.

its worked on all mine.
 
some guys had them from tank guys and they don't overclock any better than CO chips. Intel said the only difference is the ink.

I remember reading that. But sometimes ya just got to try for yourself, plus i haven't read to many reviews and none from anyone i know. So we'll see, I am a optimist, i'm not looking for the big OC i am looking for 4.2ghz at low volts that can handle a load... :rolleyes:
 
I Want A 975!! Some One Hook Me Up! Damnit!

i need better shit. My wc isn't good enough for the i7 heat output. and My board is apparently holding my cpu back lol
 
nice SV, you know your duties.

Once it arrives you report back to us, and everytime you overclock 1mhz :roll:
