Pretty nice system you have there Emulator.. Nice work. I forgot about the P190.. nice case.
yea, those V8's are huge. and idling at 30 and load at 55c is pretty decent for your overclock, especially since your on the older QX9770.. I was told they ran pretty hot. I had the QX6850 and it was terrible. Was worse than my Q6700. so I sold that junker for more than I got it for. haha.. but I can't image spending what you did for your chip. But now they have the Q9650.. that does wonders like your chip does. and I had to get one. I love it. 4.0 ghz was a breeze actually. it wasn't even fun.. cuz wasn't very hard.. lol.
Anyways, As promised to everyone, freelancer, amplid, and all you dudes/ dudettes.. Here's the latest picture I took just about an hour ago. I'm up and running on my Water Cooling. Loving it so far.
I'm currently running at 4.0 Ghz with 1.304v on my Quad, my idle temps are 26c, but idle doesn't matter. It's the loads that count. This is my first boot up with my water loop, but so far my highest load temp was pretty low. I ran Prime 95 for 35 minutes and my load temps were 40, 37, 38, 38... Must say I'm pretty happy with H20 results so far. I can't wait to try another Bench at 4.3 Ghz tomorrow and see what the temps are..
More pics coming soon. Check my log in overclocking & cooling tomorrow!
