I googled for the info concerning the water cooling kits to overclock X4 940 upto 4.5GHz few days/ a week or so ago & found the info on that exact VapoChill LS you are talking about !!!! That thing (VapoChill LS) is OLD !!! Dating back to 2004 or 2005 ! Tubes could be overheat if the guys at that site would overvolt above 1.58v or 1.65v !!! I think it was TechPowerUp or Anandtech, not sure. But they did managed to hit 4.2GHz or maybe it was 3.8GHz, more in the later range. I want to hit 4.5GHz for starters & leave the room for possibly 5.0/5.2GHz freq. Talk to me, TOOL'er/overclocker. lol Thanx for the info, nevertheless.

That is the consideration. I don't really know anything about ambient temp in my room. Time to take those measurments as well. But i beleive it's in the 20+C range...... Chilled water ? Might think of it. As far as i concerned i need to do one giant ice cube on daily basis, 24/7. rofl Tell me what info to Google for concerning constant 24/7 cooling of no more than 40C for CPU & 20C for chipset. Or better yet suggest the best kit, based on what i just said. And remember i not yet ready to rob myself on LN2.

How hardcore ? More than 1GHz overclock is a no go ? That hardcore ? You can suggest something better ? I would appreciate this. Also i want to buy a complete kit, that way i'll know that it will have one stable & hopefully lowered price, than buying the parts which in turn cost me much more - taxes, remember ? lol If not swiftech, than anything else. I'm dead serious when it comes down to 1.5GHz overclock. (i repeat - 3.0GHz default to 4.5GHz overclock) Any good kit will be sufficient.

Lateralus & 10,000 days... Heard of these 2. 10,000 have being recommended to me by my lil sis, would you beleive it ? lol Also 7 times - now that's an obsession !!! Keep the spirit. BTW : "Part of Me" is by far one of my fav tracks from that LP. Oops, just noticed this thread is in danger of becoming the TOOL discussion thread all of a sudden. rofl Great to bring back the good headbanger memories, though. Then again - i'm still headbanger, so what do i talk about ? lol Back to topic : Swiftech H20-220 Apex Ultima should do the trick for almost completely cooling both Northbridge & CPU ? I might ask few people in PC stores for that one. Thanx for info in advance & thanx for sharing the TOOL info. Stay in touch. P.S. The forum's name i participate for now is FullyMetal.com If you familiar with it, search MetaLForLife name. That one is me. If i'll recall about another metal forum i have being suggested to visit i'll also let you know. Deal ? Take care, dude. *EDIT* Just saw you replied before me jmke. Really ? Ok, once i'll purchase both CPU & cooling kit i'll start tweaking & let you know if i had any success with it, or something along those lines. Great info & thanx. Stay in touch, too.

Massive TOOL fan, eh ? Aenima, Undertow ? Man, i need to start all over again.... I have "Undertow" only !!! FFS, i loved "Opiate" & Aenima", too. lol Sober & Undertow from Undertow, Aenima & Stinkfist from Aenima. Great albums, headbanger. Ice-cubes, beer cooler, condensation, low dew point - you scare me. Maybe i should move to dry ice cooling, afterall. lol jk I have alot of things to learn i see. Time to Google for answers again.... Anyway, i'll search for Swiftech & other brands you & jmke talked about & let you know which one suits me best & also ask what better alternatives you can give, if any. Thanx again.

Do i see some Tool fans among overclockers ? (i reffer to Reverend, aka Maynard J. Keenan, or something along those lines.) I bet your fav 2 albums are "Opiate" & "Undertow". Mine too. And hello jmke, again. Back to topic : if both of you say taxes in Canada way higher than in Israel, than there's nothing left for me but to beleive you. Though i never was there yet. And about Swiftech & other brands you talked, Swiftech is the only one i realy know & heard of the most, so far. Thanx. 2jmke : About ice-cubes in reservoir : is this a joke or for real ? lol Hope it's for fun's sake. Though if you serious..... Hope Swiftech is good for 1.5GHz overclock of this 940. (3.0 -> 4.5GHz, that is) And now that i recall, i heard something about that Danger Dan stuff, though not remember when or where. Thanx nevertheless. Keep suggesting & keep headbanging. (ReverendMaynard, the last one goes for you )

Also, when i say kit i mean chipset too, not just for CPU. Googled for info on what LCS is good for this mobo & this CPU & didn't found any exact info on that so : Mobo/chipset : M3N-HT Deluxe/HDMI, nForce 780a SLI; CPU : Phenom II X4 940BE. (gonna buy it in late summer, possibly end of it) Going to try to cool both CPU & chipset for 4GHz overclock, possibly 4.5/4.7GHz max. Also have to know whether i should dump the idea of overclocking with this chipset & buy new 790FX mobo alltogether, detach the northbridge radiator & install new cooling on it or anything else along those lines. In any way waiting for suggestions, thanx nevertheless. P.S. If for some reason any of you will suggest purchasing LN2 or something along those lines, have to warn you from a start - i live in Israel & taxes here very high, so it's a no go for me !!!! This year it will rob me to the bone, you can bet on that. lol LCS/water cooling on the other hand is the better alternative for this. Thanx to anyone who'll give good brands & infos on what should be purchased. Take care, all.

Thanx for info. And although you didn't said about those members, whether such members here or not - sencere thank you, from my heart. I looked in submitting a SuperPi 1M score in link you gave & i have hard time in finding screenie of my SuperPi result. You possibly mean screen dump of my result, right ? I forgot how to do it. Also i need to make CPU-Z screen dump, i remember, after reading the site's rules for submitting the scores. Nevermind - by the end of the week i'll read thoroughly the rules for screenshots of both. Also, 3DMark Vantage result with overclocked CPU, you got link to it ? Cause i only have this benchie & nothing else. (don't feel like dl'ing 05 or 06 frankly, atleast not in following month or 2) BTW : i feel like crying out loud, when looking @ my Join Date. What is it ?!!! lol It's like i joined telepatically here 6 years before i was born !!!! Are you kidding me ?! Never minded a good joke though. Cheers !!!!

Hi overclockers & greetings from Israel. My name is Ashot, i am new here & hope in the future time i'll conduct some serious water cooled CPU overclocking. Summer/end of summer, possibly. Anyway - i am looking for 2 persons namely The. Doctor & kow_ciller among your ranks & was wondering if such persons exist in the hwbot ranks. Since those 2 suggested me to visit this site in 1st place to show my scores. My current PC specs : Phenom 9950 BE @ 2.81GHz air; M3N-HT Deluxe/HDMI; 2x2GB DDRII 1066MHz; 2x GeForce GTX 280; 1000W Corsair HX1000W PSU; Vista Ultimate 64-bit SP1; WD VelociRaptor 300GB; etc........ Things to change in summer/end of summer : Phenom 9950BE -> Phenom II X4 940BE; any brand's watercooling kit. And finally - where exactly to post SuperPi & 3DMark Vantage results. For 1st timer the links in your site blur my vision/make me a bit dizzy, lol. jk Anyway, great to know there is such great overclocking force in the universe, i reckon of it & hopefully one day i'll master this great oc'ing art too. K|ngp|n - i salute you & hope one day i'll be just like you or close. Take care, overclockers.
