Sipping from it right now

Not tried to see if I can still overclock the processor yet, but can't be bothered to set up my loop at the moment.



What sort of temperatures do q6600s put out when they're under stock cooling?

( I can't tell myself as I don't have a stock cooler, but wondering how this heatpipe cooler I have is doing)

 

[(FIH) The Don]

35ish+- idle and like 60ish underload +-

 

[pantherx12]

Nice, this little cooler is doing very well then, especially for its size.

Idling around 20c underload 40c.

It uses a 70mm fan the cute little thing XD

 

[(FIH) The Don]

oh is it that OEM thing you got?

 

[pantherx12]

Yeah, I wish I knew who made the damn thing, all I know is it came out a HP file server.

 

[(FIH) The Don]

its doing pretty well i must say, i bet you could go over 3ghz on that thing

Now i remember in my build when i also launched my i7, it landed on the floor, and by that time i didnt know that newer models didnt have pins, and that they were in the mobo, i looked and was WTF??! they all broke?!!?! then i almost cried i little bit.
But it worked without issues

I can imagine you then thinking " they broke of so cleanly! .... and they're not anywhere on the floor <_< ...... ohhhh"

Hehe, the level of wtfuckness i achieved clouded my judgement

Would any UK members be up for trading my brand new XFX 5770 for a 4870 + cash

I only bought the thing because I thought I could stick my t-rad on it and have crazy low temperatures @ 1ghz, how ever as ATI are fucktarded they've opted to use 43mm mounting holes.

Thus completely making the purchase pointless for me, I have no DX11 games nor can I afford any now due to buying a HD5770.

I've never been more disappointed with a graphics card EVER.

( and no I'm not impressed by temperatures with the stock cooler, which is cheap POS I've no idea why people are raving about it, I have batmobile version)

How much you thinking ontop? PM me

 

[HammerON]

Less talk and more pics please

 

[brandonwh64]

I have a 3870x2 as of 10 minutes ago

let me start working on it HAHA!

 

[(FIH) The Don]

did you kill it totally or what?

or is it in the oven?

 

[brandonwh64]

its in the oven as we speak!!!

i tested it before had and yes it would light one of the LEDs on its PCB up but the motherboard would give me the no video card beep.

 

[(FIH) The Don]

you did remember to take off the cooler and what not?

 

[brandonwh64]

yes. i stripped it to the PCB and took off the thermal paste

went by this guide

[(FIH) The Don]

yeah its a nice guide

only 10mins or you wont have an oven anymore

Da Rigg:

 

[brandonwh64]

i like the white GTX 285

*EDIT*

Just pulled it out of the oven and letting it cool down out side (35 deg F out there)

 

[Yukikaze]

i like the white GTX 285

That's the newer Sparkle one. The other one is an old Gigabyte one. It does look like the Sparkle one has a cheaper cooling shroud and they didn't use all bolt-through holes for their cooling, though. But yes, it is nifty in white

 

[(FIH) The Don]

mmmh smexy rig

 

[brandonwh64]

just tried the card after baking and..................... failure

 

[(FIH) The Don]
