This will be my second water cooling system. My first one was an e4300 a few years ago I had running at 4.2ghz at 1.55v, this time i am going to be shooting for the same speed with my e7200. I will probably be pushing the voltage envelope once again because i am not afraid to kill the chip as I am really wanting a quad to replace it with and it would be a great excuse for the wife if it dies

So you will get to see how much the 1.3625v thing really stands up to roasting chips. I will be exceeding that by far I am sure.

Sig rig is what i am using. I took it all apart today and sprayed the insides black so that it looks meaner. I think it makes the 300 look really nice. The plan is to mount the 360 radiator either on top or on the front of the case. Probably on top because i have more room there, but I will play with ideas. I also got a window kit, and green uv additive and dual UV lights for the inside of the case. I know you all love pictures so here it goes!

The sad condition of my puter earlier today while I was waiting for the paint to dry.

freshly sprayed power supply. My external isn't getting sprayed, just this one.

Were you watching soap operas?

EDIT NM saw it was MTV..carry on.

How are you mounting the 360 rad at the top? are you doing it inside or outside the case? Also, are you using a radgrill? If so how are you gonna cut it out wit that 140mm fan on top.

I still haven't decided if I am mounting it to the top, or front. All I know at this point is I may have to call on my fiberglass and bondo skills... I am not afraid to modify anything. I have worked on customizing cars for a while, so i have the "skills to pay da bills" so to speak lol.

:::::and about a week later::::

So this is pretty much the performance testing stage of everything. Well enough talking by me here are some pics lol.

some kinda repetitive, but whatever, just snapped a whole bunch and batch converted them. I have the chip at 1.48 under load and that gives me my 4.275 I can't get any faster. I really think i could if the motherboard was up to it or if the multiplier was higher. I am pretty sure the FSB is maxing out. Actually i am in the mood to mess with it, so i might go do so now. I get some screenies of OCCT runnin with CPU-z up and a 3dmark 06 and vantage score for everyone too.

Edited for benchies:

Well no one has posted yet, so let me throw up some benchmarks. These are at the 4.275ghz with fan speed on my triple rad set at 5v+ which makes them inaudible and keeps the temps right at 60 degrees. Ram set at 1000mhz 5-4-4-12-1T @ 2.0v. GTX 260 Core216 @ 756/1566/1200. I didn't really know what everyone's favorite bench of right now is, so i just picked a handful and ran them, and after some WOWing i will run PCmark Vantage. But it is time for me to play a little.

Just showing off here, it is the highest i could get it to cpuz at lol.

my best Pscore to date.

I dont even know if this is a screenshot of what is needed after a cinebench run, i have never ran the program before. I think those are the scores though? LOL

Have ran it at this speed for 12hours before, and still perfect

Proof is in da puddin.

I have been doing some major thinking and I may get a new case. I feel so cramped in this one. The tubing i used is rather stiff, but I picked it out because i love the alligator look it gives under UV light and it is freakin huge lol, it looks just absolutely massive which i think looks really cool.. I really want a full tower though, so i don't want to bondo the **** outta this one yet unless i know i am going to stick with it.. But before i get a new case, i am gettin a new chip. It wasn't the fsb maxing out, it's definitely the chip. I crave more speed for my special water monster. Give me mo give me mo. But with 6core chips second half of this year, I don't want to drop a wad of cash on a quad that will do 4ghz and be dissapointed.

dang... no one loves me lol

skydeaner · 02-01-09

Maybe once i move the radiator on top everyone will love me then, i gotta pick up the tin snips from my father tonight. Then the business is poppin yo... or whatever lol

Oh yeah i did a 3dmark 06 in xp32 and got some interesting results.

I cant wait til windows 7 stabalizes a little more.

gained like 2000 marks ???

Nice UV action you have going there.

Beast clocks on the E7200 also.

skydeaner · 02-15-09

Thank ya thank ya.

Now it's on top. Haven't cleaned up the insides yet. I will take some final pictures. I am getting horrible temps. I wasn't really even getting good temps before. I think it has to do with the huge water block surface area and my tiny little delidded processor core. I want to get rid of this e7200 for a quad anyhow, i just don't have enough posts to list it in for sale section. I think a 3.8ghz @ 1.29v e7200 should go for a pretty good chunk of change personally. Maybe i will try the Ebay. I am just glad to get my dvd burner back in. I have been lost without it lol.

Dar_T · 02-15-09

What kind of temps are you getting?

skydeaner · 02-15-09

bout 52 degrees celcius at 1.29v 3.8ghz 100 load I was doing close to that with my air cooler. Maybe this pump is junk. anyone know anything about them? I have the dough to get a better one if needed.
