I havent really seen a situation when my CPU is close to being maxed out at stock frequencies, so I dont know if its worth OCing. thinking.gif

Currently at 4.7ghz with 1.264, but still testing with Prime95 to see if it can go lower. Temps are around 67-70-70-61 with my D5 at setting 3 and two push GTs on low speed. With Prime95 running for a while (higher FFTs) temps go up about 4~6C.

Mostly for S&G, though I do want to see where my CPU hits a wall, but my goal is 4.8~5ghz.

Can't wait to see how you do your window mod! I plan to do mine eventually once I get my case and everything else finalized.

Will start posting pictures again once the Case-modification begins - Will do some before and after shots and of course some throughout the process.

Really looking forward to it aswell - Setting up the system and loop is fun and strangely fulfilling, having the case come out like you picture it is a whole other ballgame - Sitting at my laptop at the moment, playing with epoxy puddy, i absolutely love the stuff - Been using it for years - Its 100 % solid for all the normal uses, then you start "sculpting" and creating surfaces with it and suddenly a whole new world opens up.

Last mod I did, for a friend, I used Epox-puddy and made a Rock-like surface on the case sides - Gave it a good primer and started adding a base colour (Grey) and then just worked my way from there. Looked amazing smile.gif

Anyhow - Thanks for the question,

And sorry for the rant smile.gif

I have a very similar setup.....

Prodigy, AD2, azrock itx, 6970......even the same res, however mounted very uniquely.

Hwo loud is your pump ? I read above you got it running at 1/2 speed. How ? are you using a PWM controller ?

I have mine connected to my CPU fan header, and and I cant tell the difference, or even if its being controlled ? Hwo do you have it set in the BIOS ?

I have mine set as auto, 50c is target. speed level 3.....

I tried custom 1-255....and @100 its still showing as 4500 rpm.

thanks
