So, what do you figure is holding you back, cooling?

[stang10001]

yeah i'm loading at about 58 C
but i over did the TIM and i can switche the fans to pull air into mycase through the rad instead of using case air to cool it

Final results, at least as far as I've gone.
Summary:
Heaven 2.1 = Win7 x64 by a hair's breadth
3DMarkVantage = Vista x32 by a hair's breadth
Anything Else = WinXP x32

Ah, OK then. Use the grain of rice in the middle of the Heat Spreader method. The thin layer method causes air bubbles. When I find the uTube video I'll give ya the link.

LOL, been there.

Just had a nice run on 3dm06:

[stang10001]

on im starting to think the board can't handle the extra load.
when you overclock these things they go from about 125 watts to 260ish or higher

[OS-Wiz]

Well, I'm running water cooled now and so far so good.

[stang10001]

finally got it stable at 3.85

but its definitely the board and ram that are screwing it up

@ XS there are only 3 1055t's that hit 4.0 in the chart with a 790 FX board

Might have to put that puppy under water. I can recommend the Swiftech H20-220 Ultima XT. See: http://epczone.net/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=244

that puppy is already under water. it has to be the board holding me back. cause i was playing around in bios, turned cpu spread spectrum off and now it loads at 51C

i think im gonna pull the board this weekend and put some new thermal paste on it.
