QX9650 water

hobosrock696 · 04-26-2008, 07:37 PM

Im building a non-budget system for my friend and I would like to know how far I could push this cpu for him without risking any damage to it or shortning its life. His system will be:
EVGA 790i mobo
QX9650
2gb ddr3 1866
2x 9800gx2
1000w psu
Zalman Reserator xt bk (only used for cpu) lol

I want to push it to 4-5 ghz but I dont think thats gonna happen

I envy him I still run a 3500+ with only 1 3870x2 and value ram

no upgrades till nehalem for me... or hopefully amd...

What are the load cpu temps?

hehehe that might be a problem getting the temps seeing as how the system isnt built yet but Im asking for an average overcklock people have gotten on water.

hehe and update to that system if this works though I dont know if it will
ddr3 2000
on the board it says it supports it like this:
DDR3 2000(OC)/1800(OC)/1333
Support for up to 2000 MHz SLI-Ready Memory with EPP
what does the (OC) mean in this does it mean I have to manualy set it?
