i7 3930K 5 ghz prime95 test - Page 3

That's nice. Currently experimenting with 5 ghz clock on LLC medium and offset for Vcore and x50 multiplier. Running p95 almost 3 hours and so far good. Ambient temp 26 C, max CPU temp 60 C and max core temp 82 C ( just one core ). Also reduced pwm settings regarding power phase control. I also consider getting 420 rad and maybe better cpu block in attempt to reduce core temp for 3-5 C, if possible.

The idea is to reduce the total number of radiators in a way that I remove 2x 360 radiators and replace them with 420 radiator. Total area of the radiator surface will not be reduced significantly, and I hope neither the thermal performance of new combination ( simulation with martin pump/rad optimizer ). So i would keep that UT60 360 rad and add Alphacool NexXxoS UT60 Full Copper 420mm rad. The remaining free space i would use for better case air ventilation, especially around cpu area. What is the advantage of additional pump in terms of thermal efficiency? What thermal benefit could i expect? From better flow, less restriction, efficient heat exchange ? Thanks for the replay

Well, it's OC - with all risk in package . For some worth, others not.

Me too
