It is my first chiller and I learned a lot. I usually keep it around 10-13c, which is pretty effective for keeping my cpu under 30c idle and under 50c for extreme load. It will do sub-zero, I had it down to -7c just messing around. I am currently running the cpu and gpu's on it, but since the gpu's do not benefit off of it as much as the cpu, I am going to put them back on just water cooling and then insulate the board around the cpu for sub-zero cooling. I did accidentally take it below the dew point a couple of times already, which scared the crap out of me, :D, so I want to insulate anyway so I don't goof something up. I need to find a good guide on insulating, so if you know of one please let me know. However, I am waiting for the Classified version of the EVGA board to come out so I can use the step-up program on my EVGA x58 board. I figure with some mild sub-zero cooling I should be able to do 4.5Ghz, maybe even close to 5Ghz. We will see. I will take some pics of the rest of the system later today. |
