up and running!

ooooh yeaaaah! My new homemade watercooled system is up and runnin'! MCP600->modded Bonne core->mcw6002A CPU block->Maze chipset block->Maze4 gpu->Res. Two 130 cfm Ytech fans on a rheo with a seperate PS for the whole thing. Box and shroud made from plywood, sanded and stained. Running a Barton 3200 at 12.5x220 @ 1.85V stable. Temps never go above 37C and that's at full load! I couldn't OC above 210x11.5 before, and i'd hit temps in the mid 50's and crash on 3dmark. Plus I sure don't miss that screaming Volcano CPU fan, damn thing sounded like a fleet of jets. I love it!!!

Congratulations, Krum!

Congrats! It is a great feeling when it all comes together. Those numbers are excellent. In fact so good that I would like to ask you a few questions if you don't mind. You may be on to something that I would want to know :-)

You mentioned 1.85 VCore. Is that your bios setting, or VCore voltage shown by something like MBM, Speedfan, or 8rdavcore?

How do you classify "stable". Is that with a few days of error free Folding, or Prime95? Also, do know offhand about what your ambient air temp going into your rad-box is? 37C under load is quite low so I wonder if you have some chilly air.

The 1.85 Vcore is according to BIOS on an A7N8X-E mobo. cpuid shows the voltage flickering between 1.87 and 1.92, Everest shows 1.89. As for stable, I got a couple of crashes at 220 so I'm down to 216 and that seems to be OK. I think I'll need to voltmod the mobo to get higher FSB speeds. My criteria on stability are to be able to run SiSoft burn-in 4-5 time in a row, run 3dmark half a dozen times and play doom3 for a couple of hours without crashing or locking up. Not exactly scientific but it works for me.

The temp in my room is around 70-75F, I'm idling at about 31-33C and if I open the window and turn up the fans I'll drop to high 20'sC. The CPU temp shows at most 4 deg difference between 1.6V and 1.85 under heavy load. My temps are taken from a probe attached directly to the bottom of the CPU. Temps using everest read 3-4C higher. I'd go higher on the vcore and vdd but I can't without Vmoding. (Give you one guess what my next project is)

congrats dood. i should get my 6002-p in tomarrow to replace my 5002. nice to know that new swifty is up to the task...

Yeah, nothing like wawa. Once you go wawa nothing compares. Only bad thing is now you can't drown out the wifey.

His diode might not be particularly accurate. Even between motherboards of the same model I've seen temp differences of +/- 5C at identical speeds in similar environments. Just between my old Shuttle, Asrock and Albatron mobo's in the same case with the same processor temps varied about 4C from the lowest to the highest at full load.
