wow dude... can you say SB cooling overkill?
welcome!

I know you had to think about this a million ways, but are you sure there is no way to get that cooler on the NB instead... just asking, probably beating a dead horse


SO... remember the little swiftechs on the mosfets? well they kept falling even with the 3M thermally conductive adhesive tape... I HAD IT!!! but instead of beating the whole rig with a bat like I wanted to I hacked thestock mosfet HS off... that's right I cut those pipes... now I got the same cooling on the fets like Rating... and I don't have to worry about them falling off... I hate how the first row is covered but the inner row is only partially in contact... but with such overkill I shouldn't worry...
I am just happy those aren't going anywhere!!

hi there thanks for the help,
my motherboard is full wc, i mean
NB WC
SB WC
Mofets WC
And a fan over the memory sticks
the actually the temp is in full orthos for a 4 hours about 25 /26 max
there some one that told my for a cpu over clock with less vcore i must increase the voltage on the NB, is this right?
A have a e6400 rev l2, and i what to get 3.4ghz with the less vcore possible, any ideas?
Thanks.

1303 is the best bios for OC it does have a fsb hole, but made for much easier overclocking than 1305. Unfortunately I don't have a link for you but you could google it and find some links that way. I won't lie the striker was a very finicky board when it came to getting a good oc and I have had two sata ports burn out. I have seen some insane c2d oc's on it. For quads about the best I have gotten is 3.4 on air, but it wasn't 8hr p95 solid. I had to back down to 3.25 to get it perfectly stable again. The voltages at that oc were well within Intel guidlines for the procs.

Hello everyone. I just completed my first computer build. Fun and educational project! Now I'm trying my luck at overclocking. Going in small steps since I'm new to this. This is where I'm at now.


I seem to be stuck here. It runs stable under orthos. Idles at 39c and the hottest I've seen is 56c. The memory is unlinked and I havent changed anything except for entering timings manualy. At this point if I try bumping my fsb anymore I get a blue screen with a memory dump message. Voltages set at auto and I notice my v core will drop as low as 1.25 under load. What would be my next step to take here? My goal is 3.0 mhz on the cpu. From what I've read here that shouldnt be a problem. Just dont want to melt anything along the way. LOL Any help is appreciated!

Hey Guys
I am having some issues with my setup. I initially followed the settings from this thread and had a perfectly stable 3600 oc. I slowly started to get lock ups and blue screens until one day the system would'nt even post. I have ensured all cooling is adequate and the temps indicated are the same as when I built the system.
If I try to set an FSB of 1600 (400) it wont even post. Just dead.
I am maxed out now at 3150.
I started getting issues after an upgrade to bios but this may be a coincidence.
I cleared the cmos, set defaults in the bios and flashed it to 1205 again.
Any suggestions on how to get back to 3600 stable?
Thanks
S

Yea it did... it was easy to put it on without having to remove the mobo too!

WittleRatin has it too... I guess for selling it to someone else you might want to keep the pipes but I said to myself that if I switch to an other MoBo it would be the ABIT IP35 Pro which can OC my quad with the stock NB cooler as long as you got a fan on it... so I can sell mine with the aftrermarket cooling on it, and I needed to get a more freakin' permanent solution already!

I still don't know why my swiftech's stayed on so well (other than the heat up process I used). I actually had to work to get them off when I sold the board.

The thermalright mosfet coolers are tempting I must say...

Go back to your old BIOS...you DID back it up, right?
1203 beta has been the best for a lot of guys when overclocking...

nTune's automatic overclocking feature is probably the single worst thing you could do - using software - to your computer.

The words "automatic" and "overclocking" are never used in the same sentence unless they precede words like "holy crap, what was I thinking", "my whole rig is bricked", "next time, I'll use BIOS", and "the fire department is on their way to put out the fiery embers of what was once my computer but is now a pile of ash and charred metal".

That's just my opinion, but I think the majority of others parallel my own.
