I bought an Xp1700+ Wed., an Eheim 1048, a 256 Samsung PC2700 and a used Kenmore dehumidifier (R12) today.

I could only get it to 1759(11x159.91 @ 1.85v) Cas 2.5 Normal with PC2100 and just my water setup, and it was running around 44C under load.

I am now doing 1922(11x174.73 @1.96v...not unlocked yet) Cas 2 Fast.
The sandra scores are getting me aroused.

The chiller is only half-assed together, I could only find a rectangular plastic juice jug around the house that just fit over 3/4 of the coil assembly...top 1/4 exposed, and 4 loops of the coil outside on one end.

I wired in a rheostat and mounted it in the front panel (looks like the factory put it there

), so I have 100% fan speed control. (Thanks #Rotor)

I haven't done any condensation proofing yet, so I haven't gotten too carried away with cranking on it yet, and I'm keeping my cpu temps about 10C above ambient for now. (ambient is 19C with the window open...cpu is at 30C right now (MB probe) with UD running)

The temperature setting is at half, and my fan is roughly 1/2 speed, so I'm happy. The one quick shot I gave it at full fan/coldest dropped the water (50/50 Prestone antifreeze and water) to -1C (dropped a thermometer in the res) in about 5 minutes, the cpu temp was dropping steadily, and I turned it back at 14C, because I could see my waterblock covered in droplets. That was with UD running. This is gonna be fun.

Update:
I settled on 1914, because it wouldn't run my torture test for more than 10 minutes at 1922, it would hit 32C and lock up. It needs to run Toast, Ud Think, and mp3's together for a few hours before I consider it stable. Can't wait to get this chip unlocked. Gonna shoot for 9.5x200.
