Don't get the stackable rads. They are less efficient with low rpm fans than a single rad. They cause too much restriction in air flow. With 3...
FWIW my bios version is the same as yours. Maybe this bios is a made OCer? Very interested to hear how you go.
I have the same card. Its a very bad overclocker... seems to be easily affected by high temps. Even at stock it causes problems once the temps get...
Wow a leaking fill port sucks! :( You could always drain the loop? (I have a drain valve... so its easy enough for me! )
Given the installation of the GTZ is very easy, the only thing left sounds like improper TIM application. Why wouldn't you have the case on its...
The GTZ does need to be installed with the correct orientation. The documentation that comes with it will explain. From swiftech's site: [IMG]...
Sounds like coil whine. Pretty common in PSUs to make it, usually under load. Perhaps you have just never noticed before cause its been inside...
This is part of the reason why I said to use the delta, or distance to throttle (saying distance to TJmax is confusing I think, since we don't...
Lets define our terms, just to make sure its clear: -delta - how far the CPU is from throttling. Reported in RealTemp as 'distance to TJmax'...
You are mistaken. The CPU reports the distance to TJmax (say 45c). The software (RealTemp in this case) subtracts the reported number from TJmax...
I'll 3rd that... but I do really like the rotated design. Hopefully the next revision is a little more water cooling friendly. If you go...
Gabe from Swiftech has said there will be a 1156 kit for the GTZ released sometime in the next month or so.
LCS isn't going to be cheap to do well... and definitely isn't worth doing on the cheap. Noone has anything good to say about those kits. Unless...
Seriously! The 1156 size is very similar to the 775...
So buy one of the 1156 socket motherboards that has 775 mounting holes (evga, Asrock etc)
Depends, what do you want out of it? If its to play with some cool toys, then sure, go for it. If its to get a good overclock with little noise...
Fair enough, I think most people will disable Turbo mode. I kind of like the idea however, so am curious what sort of clocks people can get with...
Most q6600's should do 333x9 (3Ghz) without a voltage bump. My guess would be you are OCing your RAM and it can't handle it. But, as Ji1986 said,...
I am assuming you have turbo mode disabled? Have you tried to get a Turbo Mode-enabled OC happening?
I can't see anything... but I can't wait to see your results! :) EDIT: OP Fixed his post. Results look like a great start!
