Finally water cooled.

My watercooling kit has been very slowly coming into shape and due to the hot weather i got a move on and finished it. Foir those that havent read my other posts on the matter the system cost £70 to build and is as follows:

Hydor l30 (quiet, and getting quieter)
XSPC 120-D
2 120mm fans at 6v each (almost silent from my seat)
Reservoir made fomo drain pipe.
RBX waterblock with accelerator plate #5
Zerex coolant
Reinforced tubing

Think thats everything. Now the beast im trying to cool is a 3ghz s478 prescott. With the stock cooling and some as5 i could get to 3.6ghz but no more with temps of 53 - 63 degrees C in this hot weather. After watercooling it dropped to 35 - 37 at the same settings. Im happy with this drop.

Now i am running it at 3.9 ghz at 1.6 volts getting 45 degrees load. Im a little concerned this voltage is a little high as is my temp. Any thoughts?

The arctic silver is still settling in and i am still experimenting so hope to go higher, i tried this momentarily but i doubt its stable, ill test it later:

Still at 3.9ghz, i just enabled PAT and the Turbo performance mode (can anyone tell me what that does?) and it still seems stable. If it turns out to be stable ill try enabling HT which always kills my overclocks.
