It's not my cooling at i have a water cooled system with the original cascade block so all that is left is my board.

I have had it running at 264 FSB but then my fans run at 100%...
my wife complains they are to loud...
because if I lower he CPU fan speed then it does crash...
I believe it has something to do with temperatures of voltage regulators...
I do have a Northbridge water block(DD).
I know the OC is not being limited by my ram.
I have Corsair TWINX 1024-4400 ram running 1:1...
I should be able to get my FSB up to 275 before I hit the limits of my ram...
that is my target...
Pict of my box
The heater core is severally limiting the air intake. Having to raise my the fan speed to 100% attests to that.
The Fans aren’t loud (listed at <30db)but the air turbulence when it hits the heater core is what makes them loud.
I’m in the process of creating an external box to hold 2 heatercores #2-342 & pumps will give me a better O/C.
my thread on that started
here
have to update it in the next cople days...
