Once I found the clog in my CPU water block now successfully running at 4.2 Ghz. This was my stopping point last time before fixing the clog because it was hitting thermal limits. Now with clog gone and 27C room temps it idles around 38C on hottest core and IBT 10 passes hits 81C max. Need to order fans for the top of my rad. Ghetto rigged a 240mm fan on top with 2 120 fans below pushing air.
4.2 Ghz @ 1.175V.
Figure should be able to go over 4.4 next just waiting for any tiny bubbles to bleed out. Had to go to work or would have pushed it further. Was debating getting a bigger rad than my cheapo RS240 XSPC rad.
Amazing how much smoother Starcraft 2 is on this rig vs my AMDX6 @ 3.8 or my 2500k @ 4.4Ghz. I knew it was going to be better but it does not even start to want to lag. Starting up AMD would have stalls when checking the fps on the menu button in game. This one was almost 40 fps higher.
Cinebench was 9.03 @ 4.2 Ghz.
4.2 Ghz @ 1.175V.
