Why the hell do you need a phasechange unit to get 5.5GHz from an i7. Unless you are extreamly unlucky on the silicone lottery you can easily get 5.5 on water. I have even see people having 5.5 on Air using NH-D14's. With a phase change unit I would expect to see 6GHz at least from a 2600k.
How do you get your core temps to show when Sandy Bridge's probe is only designed to work down to -10c? My 2500k stops dead at -10c and my Evap goes all the way down to -48c. I use a modded Mach 2 GT that's been load tuned for 240-250w, And personally you are in the positive temps matey, There's no way you're still in negative temps when that thing is running if your socket temp is -11c on a unit as low tuned as yours.
@almighty151986 The asus software for ROG connect shows down to -30c based off the internal core thermal delta calculation. The socket gets warmed partly cause the temp probe is under the socket, and with the way I have it insulated the VRM's tend to head up the socket area more than it should. Atleast around the probe.
Super Pi doesn't drive the core hard enough to bring the core into the positives but if i run something like wprime32 it will come into the positives.
they wouldn't do much under 8-8-8 most of the time for those sticks, turned out one of the sticks was bad, sent it back and ended up getting some gtx6 2621mhz sticks in exchange. which will run 6-7-6 @2133, Max multi for that chip was 56, with a maximum top end of 5.9ghz at 1.61vcore. Sadly the chip was killed a few months ago during a ln2 run that took the motherboard out, which ended up killing the chip in the process :\
@TheTsunamijuan My 2600k lets me insert 59 multi as the maximum value. The max i have tried was 45 because of my cooler. Do you think my 2600k will offer a 5900 mhz OC? In the bios has i said goes to 59 max.
those gtx3 can do much better timing at 2133.. try 7-9-7, depending on imc it might be able to do 6-9-6 without to much more voltage than 1.65... maybe 1.7ish
what is your max multi for that chip? 1.488v only.. push it harder :D
@TaLEntZ96 There isn't one actually, its just a couple cardboard boxes under the the board, so that if you choose to use a card without removing the bracket you can.
The geforce 460 thats in the system there already has the bracket remove though to improve airflow.
Really? I just ran my 955be at 4.4ghz using a H50 AIO water cooler with the radiator in ice. And you said you are running the cooler a lot harder than you are supposed to. How so?
@misterpc23 The unit i am running is rated at around 120watt's of load, my 940 is a 125watt chip stock. Pushed to 4512@ 1.6v vcore, the thermal wattage is around 250-280watts.
I am not sure of the way to calculate water cooling radiator wattage. But in general a decen't three fan rad can handle a larger thermal load than a phase change unit. However you won't get your water cooling loop temp much lower than a few degrees above room temp at best.
Respond to this video... what you might consider is making a chilled water system, where you buy a window mounted ac unit, and a build your resevior around the cold side heat exchanger, and then insulate your tubing and water blocks for condensaton reasons. This will usually yield around 0c temps or lower. You fill your water system with glycol instead of water at this point, to prevent freezing
@misterpc23 I am not sure if a phasechange unit has enough grunt to run a phenom II 955 at full load at 5ghz, mostly due to how hot they get. This unit in particular cannot run my phenomII 94be deneb past 4512 peak, full load at 4420mhz, but thats not full time.
You might want to check HWbot.org and lookup the phenom II 955be's and see around what people are running them at on a single stage. Then subtract around 100-200mhz or whatever it will take to drop the vcore closer to within spec.
I don't regret buying mine, I only wish it had more power than it does. These guys are small compared to what some of the custom builders are doing for single stage setups. Depending on the build quality they are rated for 120watts. Some people have ones that just bearly can handle that load. Mine seems to handle more. However I am mostly doing limited duration runs with a small cooldown period between benchmarks.
If you do order one, FrozenCPU will do you right. Ordered mine from them aswell

So is that the gpu fan thats so loud? or the is it the phase change unit? I was wondering If its worth buying one of these?
misterpc23 8 months ago
@misterpc23 its the fan i have mounted to the GPU, which is a 250cfm 120mm delta fan, thats around 68db
the phase change unit can be heard before power up, its not to bad sounds wise, mostly what you hear is the compressor from it.
