EDIT: Just having some fun right now.

Benches are on the list for eventually. I don't really know much about benching yet. My new memory is shipping from Taiwan today, and although only 1600MHz cas7 I'll feel better about doing benchmarks with a good working kit installed.

Only benchmarks I've done are racing and seeing that the cpu now stays cold enough to run @ 4.5GHz/1.5v for many hours.

I gotta get my system set up better for benching. I plan to do a XP install, but I have to clean off that HD first........so how will I find time to race?

I guess while waiting for the memory I can find the time to do the OS install.

-------I just switched from air-cooling in June. I'm on my way to full blown addict, never fear. Benchmark running is inevitable.

Thanks Patch.

1600 7-7-7 is the sweet spot for AMD ... like 1000 4-4-4 on AM2.

Faster is not always better, you might find your self dropping it to 5-5-5 and booting it at 1300 ish

Yes, I have also heard that the lower timings/frequency might be faster. These ones are 7-7-7-24 so we shall see. My other kit was pretty nice.

OCZ is real good at binning their stuff to whats it capable of so I would not expect much out of it... 7-7-7-24 whats that PSC chips?

I ran my other ones (EB edition 1.8v) @ 1800+ 1.9+v a few times....maybe I killed them.

EDIT: on the subject of the chiller....I have decided to rearrange and put the chiller/bench table in the center of the room instead of off in the corner/closet. It will make everything way easier....now that I have stood hunched in the closet working on it for 3 weeks

Look at the carnage leftover from the Chiller build...there are 4 more jugs in the garage with that highly flammable denatured alcohol mix in them.

Hehe .... I'm cleaning the computer room for the 1st time since starting the Chiller build.....like a bomb hit, and I'm still looking for the 3 gallons of coolant that leaked out a couple weeks ago.....seriously though.

I must have fucking lost my mind. Oh well no one said it would be easy, and it works awesome now so it gets an overall from me.

EDIT: I'll have a nice photo shoot tomorrow after I get it moved out in the open. Fortunately I built it on a 4' x 2' coffee table, so I can just unplug and drag it across the floor.

No one ever said being cool was easy.

Nope.

Here is a nice chilly bedtime picture from last night....I could insulate the pump better, but it's in a cooler so..............
