over clocking water cooled pc

sony_bites · 10-02-2003, 03:08 PM

hey i just finished building my water cooled pc and i was wondering if someone can either point me in a direction or might know settings i can choose on my motherboard to run my pc stable on extreme oc settings are as extreme as i can get it .... thanx to all that reply

btw this is my setup:

asus a7n8x deluxe
amd xp 2800+
1 gig geil xms ddr 400
ati 9800 pro 128

i have 3 water blocks installed, one for cpu,gpu, and video card all danger den and a eheim 1250 pump and a black ice pro radiator...

You would need to go into bios, and you would want to change the core voltage, core multiplier, and FSB to make the processor faster. Always move in small increments and use Prime95 to check system stability

I don't know much about pushing spec on RAM since i own the worlds worst DDR 333 ram that looses stability if i UNDERCLOCK IT!!!!!

THere are some good overclocking guides around, the fact you have your northbridge watercooled should help you push the FSB a little farther, also watch out, on high core voltages your voltage regulators may get hot and need active cooling

Be sure to look for other people/gudies since my best overclock has been 1.75 ghz on my 1800+, and i am running stock at the moment waiting for better ram

thanx for the reply...btw what do u mean by active cooling?

Active cooling is the opposite of passive cooling.

Passive cooling is cooling using large heatsinks/radiators etc. and allowing them to cool passivly in the air.

Active cooling is strapping a fan to them and forcing air over them to cool them more effectivly.
