You have PM

If you want to run the 12v fan, you will have to get you a 110 to 12v transformer. You can get one at the local electrical suppy.

I have my 4200 at 250*10, 1/1 stable. I had it higher but the volts and temps were gettting high. Besides, this will be a good work setting. My temps are in the mid 40's under load and I can live with the lower OC. I had it to 275*10/1.65v earlier if anyone wants to know the highest OC.

I hope the few dollars I donated helps you out. There is no reason to sell your rig. If you do, you couldn't keep this thing going.

How far can you go on the stock multi of 11? 250*11 would be 2750mhz. I do 275mhz on mine with the stock multi of 10. @ 250, you might possibly be able to lower your volts.

No stones, no glory.

I used 1/1 for memtesting. I was testing the memory @ 250mhz, not the CPU. The CPU at 250 ruled it out of the test (stability)

Definately up the volts, just watch your temps. I was hitting 2.5g stable at 1.5v. Here is my 3200 venice OC'd http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22586 EDIT: you don't show what you are using for CPU cooling.

You might want to look at the prime pic, it shows 20+ hours. I was also runnig folding @ home at the same time so it was hammered.

I finally got this thing 100% stable at 2.75g. I just have to see how far it will go now. CPU-Z doesn't show correct volts (1.6v / 1.45v+110%) Memtest was run 1/1 Running F@H at the same time. Temps are at 100% load :cool: VID 520/560 OC

If you are planning to use the plastic DFI backing plate, you will need longer screws. I would suggest using the steel one included with the kit or buying one from the swiftech site. The springs put alot of pressure on the pcb. I don't know how hard yours will be to remove but the one on mine fell off after I removed the retention plate screws. Here is a picture of my setup.

This would be a great choice for cooling with the xp90. http://www.frozencpu.com/fan-167.html

I am using the Gold VX with the 4v jumper and having zero problems. You will definately need some kind of active cooling for the ram as it gets very hot.

The possibility of leaks like that is the reason I use automotive style worm gear clamps on my system. You will have to pull really hard to get one off ( maybe destroying whatever part it is hooked to). Did you take some caned air or compresor and blow out all your slots? You could have some water trapped in it causing a short. I had a problem sealing the fitting for suction line on my res. It didn't matter how much teflon tape I used on it. I finally went out into the garage and got some (auto) liquid thread sealer. There is no more leak and I doubt I will ever get that fitting out of it.

Here is a review if you would like a read on it. http://www.guru3d.com/article/content/190/
