I Haven't Had Any BSOD's so Far, and Yes, I have done Benches before, Only to have the System Crash before I could make a Screeny, But if I keep Pushing I'm sure I'll run into a Few of My Own sooner or later.
 
Right Now I'm Concentrating on just Having Enough Power to RUN a 4-Way SLI Rig, But for now Let's get back to running Just 2-Way SLI!
 
What will Happen Next?, Who Knows!
 
Stay Tuned Tomorrow....Same Bat Time....Same Bat Channel.
 
 
 
 
 

Usually means not enough vcore...

I'm having some BSOD problems trying to go higher than 4.8GHz, But Glad You could Finally save your Results!

Halo_003
Finally, got a really fast shot off and was able to save the result too.

I'm still getting that BSOD, tried raising CPU voltage and some others as well, no effect. I'll look into it more, but for now I'm just happy I could save this lol.

Nice run.
What does your event logs say e1 is related too?

Hallowen, I think you may be at your "Air" limits as well.
You should be able to do that under 1.4V to 1.45V
 
Time to break out the water cooling!

I Totally Agree with you John, I just Pushed the Vcore that High just to see if it would do any more.
 
Anyway, Now I have to wait for all the Water Cooling items to arrive next week before resuming Testing, Not to Mention Disassembling the Air Cooling Components and then Re-assembling everything for Water Cooling the GPU's/CPU plus the Full MB Block for the ASUS RIV BE!

Basically I'm going to do as You stated, But I need to sit down and figure out How I'm going to Prep everything as if I am going to immediately use Phase Change on the CPU and Chilled Water Cooling Not Only on the VC's, But Also on the MB Blocks.
 
I may end up as Q56 stated and put a thin coat of Vaseline with a Heat Gun over the Entire Board to start with.....or, I may try the Kneadable Eraser, But it is going to take some serious thought on my part as to exactly what to use.
Regardless of WHICH method I end up using, Vaseline will DEFINIELY go inside the CPU Socket until "Hell Freezes Over"! It has Always worked with No Problems on My other Sub-Zero Rigs, so I see no reason not to continue this practice, Except for making sure if I use Both Kneadable Eraser AND Vaseline, I Don't let the Two Touch together.
 
As to Single Card Benches, I have Only used a single GTX480 when I first got the ASUS for testing, and then I put Both KPE's in when I got them this past week. 

WOW, that power supply is sick.  I remember was 1200 was the top of the line.  getting close to the 2KW mark.  At what point are we going to need dedicated 20A lines?  I don't know... but I know I got one for when that day comes ;) 

Hey Guys, I Was over shopping at Frozencpu.com, and noticed THEY had Instructions on using the Kneadable Eraser for Sub-Zero Phase Change!
 
Very Good, Now I have something to follow and it is shown in Pictures being applied to an ASUS MB!

God, I Love the Aroma of Vaseline as it Slowly Melts into the CPU Socket and the Tension in the Air when the Right Temperature of both the Socket and the CPU has been reached as You Slowly, Carefully place the CPU into the Socket (Don't Drop!) and then the Overwhelming Relief that You feel as You Close the Hold-Down Latches and Apply additional Heat to Seal Them as One...............
 
Anyway, I Sure Am Glad THAT Part is Over!

Looking good Brother Hallowen.
 
You could have just put vaseline on the cpu and then set the cpu in the socket. done. That way it does not mix with the eraser.

I have Always Melted the Vaseline in the CPU Socket First (I taped around the Socket before I did), Then I put a thin coating on the CPU, Heat Both of them and Install.
The Vaseline did NOT seep out from underneath the Socket and then I am Positve No Moisture will ever form in the Socket/CPU.
 
BTW:
One Thing Nobody Told me about was How Time Consuming it is to use Kneadable Eraser compared to just Plain 'Ol Vaseline OR How Much difficulty there was (at Least for Me) to Re-install the CPU Hold-down Bracket over top of it!  
 

I Think When I get My EK Full MB Water Block/Vreg Block I may go ahead and Also Prep them for Use with either Vaseline or Kneadable Eraser for the area surrounding the top and Bottom of the MB just in case I decide to go with Sub-Zero Chilled Water Cooling probably some time after using normal Above Zero water Cooling with the Chiller set above the Freezing Point to prevent Condensation forming underneath those Blocks, although I have Never Done this in the Past Chiller Rigs I have Had.
When I was Running my 4-way SLI GTX 580 Classified Ultras on Sub-Zero Cooling water, I just kept a Eye out for Condensation forming on the Waterblocks and turned down the Chiller Temps to compensate.
I have Had VC's running at -10C, But When I Shut Down, I had to Dry up the Melting Condensation afterwards.
 
Any Suggestions on These Problems ? (Outside of using Kneadable Eraser on the VC PCB's!)

I have gone as far as I want to until my EK MB Blocks arrive, when I can determine before I install them what Area I need to continue molding the Kneadable Eraser around.
 
If You look in the Photos of What I have Done so far and look at the Red outline area of My MB to a Photo of where an ASUS RIV BE With the EK-FB Acrylic Blocks is Installed, You will see how Tight the Blocks are going to Fit.
 
EDIT:
Even though I ordered the Acetal Black Block, I Showed the Picture of a See-Thru Acrylic Block so you can see the Capacitors underneath the Block. 
 

 

 

 

 
 

All Right!, I Think I may have the Next Step Done.
 
Notice in the Photos the Imprint in the Kneadable Eraser of the EK SB Water Block.
 
I have to devise a way to use Vaseline under the Water Block, But Keep it separate from the Kneadable Eraser Area, and it looks to me that I need to put masking tape on the MB roughly the same shape (or Larger) as the EK WB and coat IT with Vaseline so condensation dripping from the WB won't Short anything Out.
 

 

 

 

 

 
 

OK, EK SB Water Block is Installed using what I like to call a Tape/Vaseline "Barrier" around the Outside edges of the EK Water Block.
 
Will it Work? I Don't Know Yet, But You Know Experimentation is the Only Way to see if something Works or Not, Right?
 
And the Quest to "Get it Colder" Goes On...........
