Yeah normal true, from what I read you need a pretty good water cooling setup to get any benefit over air, you'll need a decent radiator (one that has 3 x 120 fans to attach - and a quality one) and good blocks to gain on water...

kk im just quickly jumping in on this, with bugger all knowledge about corei7 and current chips etc im gonna make some crude assumptions.

1. that link is a bloody good price.

2. that link is the W3520 xeon which is essentially a renamed core i7 920 but are slightly better and run nice overclocks.


if my above 2 assumptions are correct can someone please tell me so i can purchase one at that link before they run outa stock or up their price.

EDIT: wait wait i was looking at the price ex-gst, its not such a fantastic price now.

Its not that bad considering i7 D0's arent even out yet.

How are you finding the temps Hooti? I think they run hotter for sure unless I haven't seated mine well.

Is this good or no for an i7? Rare that I see less than 1v for higher than stock clocks

[Frenchlick]

Here's a Vantage run at 4.2ghz
