Go up one level in this thread


I'm using a homebuilt liquid cooler, cpu runs about 25-26C full load with
ambient @ 18C. I haven't modified the voltage yet but plan on doing that soon.
It's only an Asus A7V266-E. After I voltage modify it (to around 2.3v max) I'm
assuming it will be able to hit 2GHz rather easily.

I ran some other benchmarks and took lots of various screenshots... you can
download it at ftp://12.255.147.62/pub/overclockstuff/pics/newpc.zip
