Looks awesome. What are your temps like now?

Looks awesome. What are your temps like now?

They were in the 75C range, and then by the time the paste had time to settle in, we got a warm spell here in Atlanta so the ambient was higher...and I got different fans, etc, etc, but I think it was about a 5C drop, as the temps were more in the 69-70C range. Now, of course, my temps are really low due to the ambient being mid 40F (I don't know how low--it's running headless right now, I'll check tomorrow when the -bigadv unit finishes).

Put teamviewer or logmein on it

Looks great though.

your cooling an i7 920 @4ghz with the corsair h50?

dam i wouldnt even consider it to have the ability to shift the heat off a standard clocked q6600, especialy with it using a single rad

i got a tripple rad with some noctua nf-p12's running full horse keeping my i7 920 cool...

maybe i underestimated that thing, good job on the lapping

well i think you are crazy lol...

i got mine running 25oc idle and never tops 50oc now, the Shinitsu thermal paste i got off bomber dropped a few degrees off my temps!

You got way more room there. Bump up the overclock! . Mine idles at 38-40ish and loads at 70ish. i7's can take more heat that others can.

yeh but im dropping my mother board nb/sb and mossfets into the loop in next few days so ill gonna try for the 4ghz then!!

my i7 has only had a .20mv increase to reach 3.6ghz so i think ive got a good chip too

Yep--the major voltage increases happen past 3.8...but it's so worth it. Looking forward to see your results!
