Looks great so far. As for the Dielectric grease, that doesn't mess with strong connections between the processor and motherboard? Also, what are you planning on cooling the NB/SB with?
Well I thought I was going to fire this thing up today, but I forgot my power cable. My Power Supply doesn't use a standard power cord, here's a pic I borrowed from newegg.
AAUUUUGGGGH! I just bought a new rig a little while ago, and I KNOW I should be spending any more atm, but I NEED a phase cooler and Dual GPUs!
I am so looking forward to seeing what you you can do with this.
Well I had a little free time this afternoon and I got it fired up. I started RealTemp up and it went to -7C and stayed there. I tried a few other apps and they won't even show the temp. I guess they figure no one goes that cold.
Luckily I have a Digital Thermometer with a probe built into the phase. Under full load I saw it dip into the high -36C range, at an idle I saw -45C so this is an average temp And the ambient temp is 27.6C or about 81F. I'll have to lower the AC Thermostat tomorrow
I got the bus speed up to 225 no problem.
But it really didn't like 226, I disabled Hyper-Threading and got this run.
It looks like I can retake 1st place in the SuperPi Thread if I can workup a bus speed of 230-231. Luckily I have the whole weekend to play with it
