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!

Well, while you wait. You can swap the motherboard bottom plate with the much smaller plate that allows for you to have the 4 small holes open.
Put your water cooling bottom plate on and attach just the water block. If you water chiller has it's thermostat still attached, then you can set it for 60F and have at it till the rest of your stuff comes. That water temp should allow for running of 5 to 5.1 ghz. benches. (I'm still learning my board as well) Or normal operation at 5.1 ghz. That way you can either wait to fully insulate or you can start now. I basically use the same method tony uses, but i use Vaseline in the sockets. Because this is 24/7 usage and it will get condensation when just idling over time. or a fast temp swap. Then when you are ready, take the water block off and slap the phase block on and keep going. but these are only suggestions of course.
 
Did you ever run a high single card bench yet?

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. 

Sounds like a winner!
Im going to need to prep my board this week as well.
 

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 ;)

LOL!, I Have Four 120VAC/30A Outlets for my Chiller + Vapo + 2800W worth of PSU's!
 
My 2012 4-Way SLI Rig had a Power Draw of 38 Amps at My Home Power Panel during High Benching Sessions!

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!

All Right Guys, Please Give me Your Opinions about how these Photos of the back of my MB Look, Since this is the FIRST Time I have EVER used Kneadable Eraser as opposed to Vaseline when Prepping for Sub-Zero Temperatures.
 
I Think it looks OK, But I'm definitely no Michelangelo!
 
 
 
 
 
 

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!
