I am having less driver crashes with it, than I did with 5.2.3 I removed .3 pretty quick with how my cards acted. I do occasionally get a shutdown in games, but they seem to be linked to the game specifically (bf4, I started playing again).

With .3 I was getting random crashes when I would apply any extra voltage or overclock at all. I have never had this issue before, so it makes me feel more comfortable using the newer version that is more stable. (still getting occasional crashes, so it isn't completely stable for me).

I'll look into it tomorrow. See if anything changes for me.

Thanks again John,
I'll try those changes tomorrow and see what happens.

No problem Craig.

Very nice extreme cooling rig, but unfortunately is also NOT affordable OR maintainable by anyone here except you.  Not going to hate though.  If I win the lottery and don't have need of a job anymore, I'll come over and we can have competitions in race cars and extreme overclocked computers all day long!  lmao

Gained Only 307 points using the same settings of my previous run after going from a CPU OC of 4.698GHz to 4.798GHz....Very Strange the way things are going today.

On the Contrary, There are Quite a Few of us around this and Other Forums that like Myself that have been Building/Maintaining these Extreme Rigs for Years.
 
Personally, Since I've been Retired since 2007 with No More Working every day and All the Time I Need, I am quite happy to be able to afford this "Hobby" of mine and work on it Constantly.

"...few of us..." is a very correct statement.  Percentage wise, you make up less than 0.001% of the computer enthusiast market.  But alas, it's still fun to watch you guys do what you do even if the rest of mankind doesn't benefit in the slightest :P
 
Now, if you really want to impress folks...how about use the Peltier cooling and have ZERO condensation?  Or better yet, how about using a Peltier cooler AND a cooking oil type submersion method where the oil is also actively cooled using large radiators :D   But then, I saw this done already.  Intel dev team demonstrated this at a recent Intel LANFest party.  Twas very cool to watch...literally!

 That's your car, wow!
Picked you had a nice mustang. But wow.

Got Better Results, But even though I'm now running at 4.698GHz (47x multiplier/100 Bclk), I still can't quite get past 40K in 3DMark 11 Performance.

Vantage Performance run at 4.798GHz and STILL only managed to break 90K.
 
Oh Well, There must be a problem somewhere I haven't found/corrected yet, But I'll keep working at it!
 

 
 

Not sure what to make of it?


 I just did this one last night before hitting the bed.

You can buy a simple water chiller and connect it to any water setup you come up with. and can be used for 24/7 use. Heck, if the loop is long enough. You never have to actually turn it on for everyday use. They can get as cold as -30 to 0 to 10C. or you can make one. This would be the best starting point. Why? because you can still run some extreme by dropping the water temps and when done. Raise them.

Know of any guides for making one?

 I know there's a lot of pages but I think that info is in this thread somewhere.

This is a little dated, But basically it shows how to make an A/C Conversion Chiller.

Thanks 

Ok, I pulled the condenser (full aluminum), it's looks to be in decent condition but definitely needs some cleaning.

 
I also found this, perfect size for a quad 120mm wc rad, has the fittings and everything (520 x 120 x 35mm{13 FPI}). Unfortunately it's completely made of aluminum, on the plus side: it's really light because of that.

 
And I found an old water cooler, I'm going to use the compressor from it, would it be good enough? The tank/compressor is roughly 6 x 6 x 6in (or smaller) so i'm thinking it's too small.

That condenser is about the size of mine, except for mine is half that size and double the thickness. (So yours flipped in half) I have 4 fans on it.

Ok, good, it's big enough then.
 
What about that water cooler compressor, is it big enough? Or does size not matter?

Thanks Dave,
More than likely I'll probably still be doing it until they pry the steering wheel out of my "Cold Dead Hands", But That's a Long Way Off yet!
