Here are some screen shots of my socket 775 setup. The CPU overclock is nice, but the FSB and RAM are the really surprising OC's. Click on the photo album on my website. Pay close attention to the RAM scores.

And yes I know the pics are crappy. Eden has already informed me of this.

Sweet😀, what cooling u got? and how's temp?

 

[mozzartusm]

I will try to get some pics up today of my cooling setup. I have a somewhat extreme cooling system but I was using my backup system for this OC. Its a Purified Water Tap, its kinda like the ones that you see in business offices or doctors offices. Most of them have a 3 - 5 gallon jug of purified water that turns upside down and sits on top of the Tap. Mine is 2 Gallons and it also cools the liquid.

I use denatured water mixed with WIXCOOL Cooling system Treatment (P/N# 24056). You can pick this up in an Auto parts store. The cooling treatment alone will immediately drop your temps about 7 degrees C. My CPU temp was 41C when I was OC'd to 4136 and my infrared gauge was telling me 39C but the infrared is going to be a little lower because of the silicon that I have on the face of my waterblock. The 41C reading is going to be correct. I made my cooling system including the WaterBlock. A buddy of mine works construction and ran across a pile of copper tubing that was going to be thrown away so I loaded up a truck bed full of it and had a friend that owns a machine shop to make a mold for the Waterblock. We just melted down the copper tubes and poured it in the mold and out comes a pure copper waterblock.

If your interested PM me and we can talk about it. I can have a mold made just about any shape or form that you could think of. Coppers not a problem either I have plenty of that. Anyway, if you can find the coolant that I mentioned you should try it. It drops the water temperature and holds it down really well. Ive got some data that I have recorded of the temp fluctuations with and without the coolant added. If you want to see that I could e-mail it to you.

BTW, I changed the X700 Pro that I was using to an X800XL and hit 4.3 right away.

LOL, I Just have money, not time, i got Prometeia Mach 2 on the CPU to freeze it in the negatives, and i got a 226watt peltier mounted on my quad fan radiator cooled by a SLK900U with a quite 92mm Zalman fan. The radiator cools my currently 1 Video card, and 2 15000rpm hdr's.

i got Prometeia Mach 2 on the CPU

Ive been wondering about one of those setups. What is that thing? Is it just a cooling system with freon basically like on a car? Im somewhat of a mechanic and happen to have a few compressors laying around. If that thing runs on freon then I could build one cheap.

Sry don't know how it works, phase change, compressor cooling, only know the words lol no idea how it works. There is a cutdown version that's about 200US, it can keep your CPU just under 0C.

 

[scottchen]

Prometeia is made by nVentiv whom declared bankrupcy about a year ago, you can still find their units on the market, but there won't be any new versions, well as far as i know.

 

[mozzartusm]

I bet its just a small compressor that uses freon basically the same thing that cools your freezer and refridgerator. Can you see the unit on the inside of the box? If its Oval or a round shape and has copper tubing coming out of it then thats probably going to be it.

Yep, thats all it is . A compressor charged with freon and stuffed in a metal box. I wish I would have thought of this already. Ive got 5 or 6 compressors laying around that will do this.
