You will need a Drill press With a built in drill preferably no less than this:

A must when marking for drilling holes in metal.

A must when measuring your hole locations:

there are three a 6 inch, an 8 inch and the 12 inch. It is good investment to get them all. Especially when you fabricate things that require precision. In your case with the type of fabrications you want to pull off, you definitly need these tools and more.

Yeah, i didnt have your fancy dansey measuring device. Thats why they arnt an even distance apart, but at this point i dont really care aboue athetics.

Im sorry I didnt mean to sound rude and Im going to do it again..........

Im afraid its not about Asthetics/Looking good. Its about functionality and correct placement of the heat pipes in reference to what you are trying to cool. Correct spacing and placement of the pipes will allow the block to cool UNIFORMLY. Dont get me wrong I think you are doing a good job on this, I jjust think there are going to be some problems transfering heat evenly. In a sense one core or two will probably get hotter than the others because of pipe placement.

 

[xtc28]

As for thermal paste: NO do not use this. The passages should be slightly bigger than the pipes of course but enough for flux to be used all the way down the passage. This is to draw in the solder you will be using to create the best possibble mating of the entire two surfaces for heat transfer.

Quick question (baby hi-jack)....Am I the only one that uses ALL of the Bios settings?

I'm trying to get a Kuma 7750 (2.7Ghz Stock) to 3.25Ghz and I keep on crashing no matter what...(3.15Ghz @ 1.336v) is stable (prime95 8hrs), but anything over that is null..... Btw Ht was @ 1800Mhz and the NB voltage @ 1.3125v

The 550 overclocks easy compared to the Kuma, this is obvious but a 450Mhz MAX increase in a BE edition?? Sounds like im doing something wrong or its time to get a new board....

Your not sounding rude, dont worry bout that,

but i dont think it will matter if one pipe is slightly higher than the other two.

I don't think it would make a dramatic difference, if your pipes are not perfectly measured out apart...But If you were manufacturing this to sell or something, it wouldn't be good...lol...

 

[overshocked]

Yep, thankfully its just a prototype. (=

The board has very little to do with the OC cap of the 7750+ It is an agena core they almost all sucked for OCing. the most stable ive been able to OC on my 7750 is 3.0

Win7 3dmark06 bench

 

[OvrClkr]

Thx for that info x...... nice numbers on the 940 OC... am I the only one running 3dmark05?

 

[xtc28]

maybe? I dont know! Im trying to push it higher than 3.7 but I think thats it.

 

[OvrClkr]

I started out benching my 550 and found that my nephews 7750 was more of a challenge.... I have spent HOURS and cannot get past 3.2Ghz stable.. so in all if this an Agena gone bad... I regret buying it ...lol...

 

[xtc28]

nah dont regret it it still does well. I still use two of them and they do great at 3.0. The 7750 is just like the 550 it is a quad agena with 2 cores disabled. I would like to see some one unlock them or try at least. Im out os AS5 so I cant do it right now wont be until next week.

940 @ 3.7 MAX??? You gotta be kidding me....

 

[xtc28]

yeah its kinda sad but Ive given this thing a hard time too much my cpu scores keep goin down and I used to be able to hit 4 on the same setup on water, but no not now! I tried this morning it was a flop..

Well, i dont regret buying it, I just cant comprehend that a 2.7GHZ BE can only be overclocked by 500Mhz.... some peeps are getting mad clocks with brisbanes and windsors......so I thought I would at least be able to get it to 3.4GHZ stable....

Btw : I unlocked a Kuma bout 3 months ago and it was fine as a quad @ 3.105Ghz (primed) for 14 hrs.......

 

[xtc28]

wow now I must do this with mine.

 

[overshocked]

AMD stuff pfff



They would be a great sponsor though ovrclckr

 

[OvrClkr]

Yes, please try unlocking your Kuma ASAP..... I was able to encode a full avi file (1.5GB) in about 1 hour, compared to stock (2.7GHZ dual core) which took me 2 hours and 15 min....so in all it cut the time by 60%... not bad for a 60.00$ chip....

 

[xtc28]

I would love a sponsor on the desk it sure is costing alot.

 

[overshocked]

xtc... check your pm's

You unlocked a kuma? Wow, I read that the success rate on that was low...but then again, anything is possible...Congrats! 😛 😀
So the unlocked kuma must be like the first phenom...right? Did you bench it with 3DMark06? I would love to see those scores...

 

[overshocked]

Yeah, post the scores!

Overshocked congradulations on your sticky thread my friend.

^ thanks dude!
