Thank you.

Small useless update. The corrosion on the old EK block. The nickel plating flaked off. I busted off the rest the best I could with a stainless wire wheel. Don't think it has any resale value anymore unfortunately. Have it in a tiny loop right now with pump and reservoir. Probably just hold onto it if I can't manage to sell it. Still working just fine.

Such a nice build Loveha, you have had a few through the years. ;) I like the features of your water pump, as you described. The blocks look really nice, great temps!!!! Drooling over your monitor! Daddy likes! lol +1 man  Yeah, I definitely prefer the quietness WC provides.  Very nice!!

Looks awesome on the desk like that. Also love the stack of Schiit ya got there. I got a Jotunheim in January and couldn't be happier with their products.
 
Do you usually leave the LEDs on with the window facing out like that? I would think it would be distracting right next to the display.

I have decided to leave the lights on. Easier to monitor what's going on inside. Its actually not bright and distracting because case makers think smoked glass/plexi is nice.... I may at some point get some clear plexi and drill the holes or get custom glass made.

Delid/Relid tool on the way. Not sure I can get 5GHz. I can post at that speed with 1.45v but does not go into Windows. Does do 4.8GHz, didn't try 4.9GHz yet. Going to wait till after I fix the CPU. As far as 5GHz goes, not sure how much more voltage I am willing to give it. I might do a bench run at like 1.5v if it boots and stays stable. 4.8GHz maybe 4.9GHz will be all I get out of it.

More on my 5GHz goal. Decided to try 1.5v to see if I could do 5GHz. Well, 1.5v was to hot even with my setup in a cold room with cold water. So hopefully with the delid it helps enough with the thermal transfer.
My new current clock of 4.8GHz is actually 1.425v but 4.9GHz at 1.45v causes Aida64 to say hardware failure detected and stops the stress test. That is when I tried 1.5v and started to thermal throttle instantly.
 
I still need to do longer than the 25 minutes of stress testing than I did on the 4.8GHz, but I think I can manage that easy staying under 1.45v. Like to test for 6-12 hours, but I think it will do fine at the current 1.425v.
Not a great chip, but not terrible either. 1.5v kind of scares me, and will NOT be 24/7 and just for a few FireStrike runs. Assuming it can do it at 5GHz.
