IVIYTH0S Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 I intend to. Havent had a chance to sit down and do it. Im not sure how high to shoot for, but Im thinkin 3.66. is it a C0 or D0, either way I'd shoot for 4ghz, if it's D0 you could probably go higher with no sweat at all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyfive Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 (edited) Pretty sure its a C0. Bought it back in March. Ive thought about shooting for 4. Im a bit concerned about wear on the components though. As a poor graduate student, I had to abstain from eating for a few months to put this rig together. Cant afford a blowout! On a side note, anyone know of some good medium brightness LED's that have a wide dispersion? I bought some bitspower led's from frozen cpu, and those suckers are like lasers! No spread in the lighting. When I turn my room lights out, it looks like I have two red eyes in the front of my case!

IVIYTH0S Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 With water cooling, even with a C0 I think 4ghz is plenty attainable and stable . I hope to upgrade to a 920 someday but this Q9450 is just such a trooper and it'd be sad leaving it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boinker Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 That looks pretty dang good. How well does that Tri rad cool the 295? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyfive Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 On air, the gpu idled in the 70s and load was in the 90s. Once I put it on water idle dropped to the 30s. I havent yet had a chance to stress the GPU. All these temps, by the way, for the cpu and gpu are with the fans only at half speed.
