Hey friends. I recently upgraded my watercooling to accommodate the NB and MB VRs. I had my E8400 running 3.8ghz but the NB seemed way too hot and I stopped there. Now the OC journey continues. I want to reach the highest possible overclock for 24/7. I want to push this setup until either temps or voltages are unacceptable for 24/7 use.
Specs are as follows
E8400 E0
Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R (pretty much the same as ud3p)
Corsair Dominator 2x2gb 1066 5-6-6-18 (2.1v)
MSI GTX275 Twinfrozr OC edition
2x WD Caviar 160gb sata in RAID 0 on PCIe 1x Raid card
OCZ Gamextreme 700w psu
Cooling is as follows:
Fittings and tubing are 3/8"
Rad: HWlabs BlackIce Alpha Micro II (2x 80mm fan)
Fans: 2x Silverstone RL-FM81 (72.91CFM each)
CPU block: Original Swiftech Apogee
NB block: Swiftech MCW30
VR blocks: Koolance MVR40
Pump: Switech/Laing MCP350 with pressure bypass
Case Fans: 1 intake and 1 exhaust 120mm Fans
Temps so far have not been a problem. With the fans on lowest speeds idle is around 34c load is around 50c.
I am not too familiar with some of these voltages and have been researching them for 2 days now only to come up with alot of contradictory information. I will post my bios settings and we can go from there. All my current settings are below in the quote box. Thanks for any and all help.
