Hmmmm, did not know that is was that impressive....

Anyway This is how things look like now. I made me a coolerbox.
It's got 7 120mm fans and 3 80mm fans. At "full speed" things sound like a tornado, but it keeps it also cool.
I have the WW for CPU, the DD Z block for my 875 and a Innovatec for my GPU. My hard drives are cooled with the HDD cooler from Koolance (2x) Pumps are 2x the Hydor L20.

I bought me 3 months ago a P4 2.8/800fsb, apair of Kingston Hyperx 4000 (2 x 512 MB) and the Abit IC7-Max3 Mobo.
Hooked it up with watercooling (first the Corsair Hydrocool, then an asetek Waterchill setup, and after that several setups with my my current hardware) and set it at 250 FSB, getting me a nice 3.5 Gig. (never even tried to run it slower)

As I need to ajust CPU voltages e.g. to get it nice stable at higer speeds, I run it like this (250 fsb) for daily use. And I found that my Kingston won't do anything above 257 FSB. For me that was a big downside to this memory, as I want to run at a 1:1 setup.
I'm getting me a pair of OCZ 1gb PC4200 Dual Ch. EL-DDR.
What will run faster? 2 x 512 or 4 times 256?

So first I never was thinking about pushing it more.

Then I was reading about the 4:5 devider, and ppl getting 300 FSB..., that sounds nice! So I started playing, and at 1.8v I can get stable into windows... But I did not try to stress it... As I was thinking that I could fry my CPU.

265 is stable without problems, exept my temps go up.

(with my current setup @ 250 fsb I can shut the fans down, and run it like that @ normal office use. With only 2 x 120mm @ 7v I can run it stessed (SETI) without problems 24/7.

This is how I want things to look in the near future.
I got me 6 x a Koolance P100 block (only 11mm high) and I'll be using those to cool the Southbridge, Mosfets, PSU and the backside of my CPU.

I need an extra small pump to push the Koolance loop. This might be the Mi mouse, or might be getting me a Koolance case (901) and modify it. I'm having problems to get my blower silent (it's from a car dump) It is at first, but running it 3 days at 4 or 5v, i get a pitchy sound... I guess the thing ain't ment to run at that low speeds, hanging "upside down".

I'll keep you guys posted when all my gear get's here, and I have it hooked up. Then i know that my higest possible OC is at low noise!
