1 gold, 3 silver, 1 bronze for my 9400gt ddr2 64bit. I will probably try it with my e7400 and see if i can improve my scores. Maybe the older cpu will help like John said?

Also, Aquamark isn't working. When i try and start it it gives me an "Aquamark has stopped working" message. Should i just reinstall it?

chillers been running for around 45 minutes with no problem, not sure if my pump can cover all this ground though water is at -6 cpu is at 8 idle @4.6 took around 2 hours to get to -17 last night I hope I can get cpu closer to zero. Not up to natemans standards but not a bad first attempt.  Either way I can bench again. 

nicely done!

if it is cool again tonight then ill see if i can get 1100/1300 on my 5870

one of my cores just hit ZERO unfortunatley that means my tim isnt spread evenly but still first time ever. Time to celebrate

Nice job reggie. Also, cores not being the same temp doesn't point to the TIM being uneven always. The heatspreader on the proc is almost always uneven, that is why many people lap thier chips, to get the heatspreader as flat as possible. That is probably the more likely problem.

Ah well... I have to wait until tomorrow to do it. I'll post a ton of pics for you guys though. It should be amazing. GPU temps in the teens should be nice.

nope..means your screws are tightend unevenly

By the way Q, When I do 217 blck for the validation, all I have to do is set my RAM, and my vcore to 1.59, my CPU VTT to +500, and everything else at auto. I think it could go higher. I haven't needed to mess around with anything else. But when I use Eleet to go higher than 217, the computer locks, doesn't even BSOD. Then I have to do a hard shutdown. Any suggestions on that?

Raise your PCIE clock to 105, or somewhere in that range.

Tone down the VTT, you dont need that much for 217. +450mv is really the max im comfortable with. Ive dont +550mv before though with water. The IMC's are a lot more delicate than the cores though. Now that my CPU is lapped though, there is no hope for an RMA 

I think after I do a run on DICE this weekend, im going to write an extreme OCing guide. One thats not meant for people looking for 24/7 overclocks, but max benching.

even with PCIE clock @ 109 it hard locks.. I think temps is the issue. Thus my project.

Sounds like the motherboard, not the CPU. The same thing happened with my E758 at ~222 Bclk, but the problem vanished with my E760. Ive even booted up at 235 Bclk on this motherboard\CPU no problem (x17 multi though).

If your looking for a good benching board, get a Bloodrage GTI with the PCIE mod on it, once modded, those things will clock higher than any other motherboard. Im not sure if you will be able to find one though.

You might wanna trade in that Evga board for one that overclocks better.
