The Arctic Freezer7Pro is amazing. I got past 4GHz with ease on an E7200 with that.

And i think my NB temps are because i don't have a heatsink... But i do have really good airflow...

Edit: Can anyone recommend a NB Heatsink for a Maximus II Formula. Doesn't matter about colour, i can always spray is so it's UV reactant.

crazy pyro · Apr 16, 2009

Ah right, makes sense now, didn't realise there was extra stuff that I'd need to buy with the Xigmatek.

I've heard a lot of good about these:
Noctua NC-U6 (A large bastard)
EnzoTech CNB-R1 (A bit smaller)

MoonPig · Apr 16, 2009

how much is that Noctua, and where can i get it?

I'm considering Water Cooling my NB, Mosfets and CPU on the same loop, but it'll be in the future when i can build a Rad, Res and Pump box to go next to my desk.

Hey whats up with ur maximus HS .... ??? :confused:

MoonPig · Apr 16, 2009

Well, the NB is 50c on boot. I left my computer on last night to fold and when i got up this morning, it was at 65c. I suppose it's not a massive problem, but if it only costs £5 to fix, i may aswell.

Also guys, how much do you think a 4870 with EK WaterBlock and stock heatsink would fetch on here. If i get £125 or more, i might do it, then buy a 4890

... i read loads of reviews abt the improper HS mount .. did u try fixing it ... ??? many have removed the entire think .. applied thermal paste and mount it back ... and it had worked for them .. ...

mine is idling at 42C never goes above 50C ...

MoonPig · Apr 16, 2009

I've tried it before, might give it another go.

What about the 4870 idea fellas?

@ ace80, you tried going straight to 550 FSB, there might be an FSb hole.

I've been able to boot all the way upto 558 previously then from 559-600 it got to the splash screen then rebooted.
I just haven't got a clue whats gone wrong, it couldn't have degredated in performance already could it?

MoonPig · Apr 16, 2009

Sign me up scotty.

Hmm.. Volts didn't show. Well, their 1.22v

pantherx12 · Apr 16, 2009

Do any of you nice people know how to set ram ratio with my board?

I want to actually run it at the full 1600mhz its rated for.

Dice · Apr 16, 2009

hi guys
What sort of fsb should i be able to get with my Q6600 G0 on my P5Q-E? I think ive got it up to about 440 ish before then it stopped dead.

pantherx12 · Apr 16, 2009

Oh by the way + 1 For Arctic Freezer 7 pro, An amazing cooler for the price.

crazy pyro · Apr 16, 2009

Looks like I'll be getting that then, I need 2 3m VGA cables anyway, well that is if my desktop goes on top of my desk.

be sure to turn fan control on in bios, the thing sounds like death on 100%

crazy pyro · Apr 16, 2009

Haha, It'll only piss my dad off, I can't hear him when I'm gaming anyway (and that rig is ONLY used for gaming).

MoonPig · Apr 16, 2009

It's not that loud, i had it on full for gaming and didn't notice it. Then had it on 65% when sleeping and it was nearly silent.
