hehe thanx ya! >:D last night went down to like -17 so kept my chip nice and cooool :) lol i should show you my setup you will laugh your butt off! got my water cooling H50 hanging out the window! ahahah.

 

i got a quick question tho... when i do get a blue screen or it craps out, i know you see different things depending on what your computer needs ex voltage too high of a clock without enough. i get 2 types of bsd's green and wired lines going across the screen like little lines going horizontal then goes to the blue screen and starts counting down, or just goes to the blue screen. i know theres a relationship between these and im just curiouse if you guys figured it out yet? like say if you get a blue screen right away without funky lines going across that means you went too high with the mhz and with the lines means not enough voltage? its just something ive been using as a guide line on what went wrong.

 

one more question is can the water in my corsair H50 will it freeze up if it gets tooo cold out?? and why my temps for my cpu = 0???!?!

bawhahaha thats what i like to hear! kinda worried me at first.. cold killed the reading haha. yea i was up all night as you can see the time on my screenshot. i just kept getting better and better scores tweeking takes alot of time to run so many tests and restart so many times haha well worth it! :D im very happy with this new board

 

What im thinking about the H50 is maybe the constint water flow keeps it going and the heat from the chip. it just kinda freeks me out i keep an eye on the pump dropped about 50 rpm last night with the really cold weather! from the normal 1390 down to 1345 right now 1366 so there might be some kind of antifreeze in there or something cuz thats coooool water! this makes me wanna make my own custom water cooling rig with like a small freezer with the rad in there :D

as long as u have a flow of water it wont freeze; so if you leave your PC on over night as long as the CPU is making the water hot and a continues flow of water it wont freeze. But if you turn off your PC then of course don't leave the rad outside.

It's not because there is some movement that it won't freeze.
