Xigmatek HDT S1283

Xigmatek 1283 cooling my Celeron E3300 currently overclocked @4000mhz 1.475v. Tems do not exceed 63c 8 hours prime95 small ffts. Also, a 120mm 1700rpm Corsair fan keeps air flowing.

Can you put on a second 120mm fan?

@iNekoNaru I never tried because there is no where to install the fan on other side. But i guess with determination anything is possible lol

I was running Crysis 2 on ultra setting, (everything maxed out) and the max I got was about 51 that was 30 mins of gameplay, I have a stock intel cpu cooler and a i7 860 not over clocked... Is that normal or what?

You put your game CD's on your wall? o.O

320bus speed? i lulz'd but yeah il be getting this for my next build with dual kaze ultra fans in a haf 912

@yaxpak1 and yes i have 80 amps on my 12 volt rail single rail. its the op 1000 made by silverstone. so i have a lot of power. and i use the evga 750i ftw motherboard. i like evga the best because the bios does not use any of that auto overclocking feature crap and its the only company that puts decent heatsink over the north bridge which you really need to overvoltage to get a decent overclock. at the time i got the fastes ddr2 ram out there at the time i bought it 2 years ago 800mhz

[julabask]

well my ram i ddr2 so when i have it at such a high overclock i have to have my ratio lower to even keep my ram at stock so its got naturally a low latency. i have my memory at 800mhz and cas latency of 5 so it seems to be working well

@julabask your motherboard has got to have good power management in order to spit out good overclocking results. 8+2 or 12+2 pwm is recommended here. I got my Q9550 to 4ghz stable with a Asus P5K-E p35 chipset (Asus is the best :)) But I have concluded the the ram you use plays a crusial role in overclocking. If you want optimal results, you have to have a high mhz ram, such as 1066 for ddr2 and 1600mzh+ for 1156 or 1366 sockets. If your overclock is not stable, drop the memory speed to lowest.

@julabask I''m gald I was able to help. I'm with you when it comes to overclocking. I just ordered an i3 540 with new mobo and I will be overclocking also. I will post my results in form of a video. One important thing to keep in mind, not sure if you know, but your ram needs to be downclocked when overclocking around 3.6+ so if your ram is 1066, drop it to 800mhz, and you will get better results overclocking cpu along with loadline calibration on or vdroop on.don't forget vtt also.
