Thanks mate, a lot of it depends on your case. I have an Akasa Mirage with sharkoon 2000rpm x 2 fans, or maybe I have been lucky with the chip ? Ian.

Oh Yes :D Ian.

Thanks, my idle temps at 4.0Ghz are around 30/31. Now running Large FFT on Prime as we speak, coming up to 6 hours now, highest temp so far on this test is 67. Ian.

Thanks mate, I used the stuff that came with the Noctua cooler. NT-H1 thermal compound. Ian.

Got my new system up and running last night. Just wondering how my temps are ? I ran Prime95 small FFT test over night with no errors, and now running large FFT's for the last 5 hours and still no error or BSOD. The load temps when running Prime95 are around 63 to 66, the absolute highest it...

Thanks, but the time has come for me to upgrade mate. So just need to know if the PT6SE can reach 4.0Ghz without much fuss. Cheers. Ian Marsh.

Asus P6T SE Intel X58 is this board capable of reaching 4.0Ghz without too much messing about ? The cpu will be water cooled. I am very close to buying the bits for a new build. Having decided on the i7 920 and some tripple chanel DDR3 memory along with a HD5870 my only sticking point is what...

Excellent news, many thanks to all of you for the very fast reply. Cheers guys. :) Ian.

Pretty soon I am going to upgrade my current system from [email protected], 4Gb DDR2 Ram and a 8800GTS 512 (G92) to the following system. Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R Intel X58 Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping (o/c to 4.0Ghz) OCZ Gold 6GB DDR3 Triple Channel Corsair H50-1 CPU Watercooler ATI Radeon HD...

I am looking to buy a new cpu cooler asap. My AC7 freezer pro keeps playing up. The fan sometimes fails and then works again. Also I think its time for a change too. I have been looking at the Sunbeam Core Contact Freezer. From what I have read it seems a very good option. Can anyone tell me...

Thanks for the feedback guys. Sounds like I have made a good choice. DrMekon, yep I suppose it is a little late after purchase, but looks like the gamble paid off. :) Ian.

Hi Guys I decided to buy a new hard drive today, due to my Samsung spinpoint 320mb playing up. It has develpoed a clicking sound and makes most of my games freeze. As soon as my games freeze (mainly FSX) the clicking sound starts. It is driving me bonkers. Also, along with the clicking sound...

Yes it does help the sound a great deal when having a dedicated space. It gives the system chance to breathe. :)

Thanks TriedandTested, its all Naim Audio, apart from the speakers which are Rega. Thanks for commenting :)

Some updated photos of my HiFi system.

Tuniq tower is excellent for very high clocks, no doubt about that. I am using the AF7 pro and my Q6600 is at 3.2Ghz and running great. :)

Seasonic M12-700 is an excellent PSU :)

Ok I have it 7hrs Prime stable on small FFT at 3.2Ghz 400x8 with volts at 1.350 temps at the highest under load were 59c, so happy now. I am going to leave it at that dont really want to go higher at the moment. I did forget to make a screenshot though :( but trust me it is stable and I am very...

Update - Forgot to mention in my last post that it was fine on prime for about 1 hour last night then I had a re-boot. So I am now running another Prime on small FFT at 3.2Ghz 400x8 and this time I have upped the volts from 1.325 to 1.350, its been stable on prime so far for 4 hours and going...
