i7-2600k and ASUS Maximus extreme-Z

[lawlington]

my chip will do 4.9 @ 45~c ... so idk, I can reach that at 1.4~ and mine is pretty low, then again I really planned out the whole case and fans so just with the corsair H100 it is cooling better then anyone else ive heard of, i mean 29c-31c in bios, and 30-39c in realtemp for a 4.6ghz oc ? pretty low imo considering on stock cooling it was already like 60c, but that is still low, these chips are just cool as a mofo

here I am converting a DVD:

my laptop gets 22fps lol

Yea they are pretty low, but make sure you are using a good temp monitor, i was using a crapy google Downloaded one at first and it was giving me 24c on WC. and 75 stock. But it was really 65c stock and 29avrg WC. I get only 35C at 5.1 gaming... Just got to remember that the h100 will run out of fluid and will need to be replaced i would say in a year maybe even less depending on use and OC. Its a closed loop but water has to evaporate somewhere. Thats why people stay away from all in ones just because of that

[font=arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif]Yeah I didn't think 5.5+ghz was an everyday sort of overclock on the Intel proccies but I don't follow them and how well they clock but it definitely seemed pretty far fetched.[/font]

wtf? the H100 will run out are you serious?. So after a while temps will slowly rise as coolant evaporates or something, well I have some of this special green fluid made for that stuff, so if anything I can just cut the tubes and then make it a pro one, just fill it up with better coolant and seal it, or make longer lines and mount it outside the case for even better cooling, or to a better radiator, that would be cool, but I thought it's self enclosed and should last years unless theres a crack and its dripping out, can anyone verify that?

the h100 will not run out and if somehow magically it does then you rma it

Im not trying to be a douche. Its a serious statement, It will eventually need to be refilled just like a normal system closed loop. Esp depending on what its having to cool etc... Heard it a few times from people about how it would get low after prolonged use and cpu temps would rise.

"The H100 also uses high quality Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) tubing which will ensure longevity thanks to reduced evaporation rates. The H100 supports AM2 and AM3 processors without a custom backplate installation. All Intel platforms are supported including LGA775, LGA 1155, LGA 1156 and LGA 1366 and even the upcoming LGA 2011 socket."

This is a known issue, But what is not stated is what kind of use and what kind of Heat gets dissipated by the cooler itself. IE what kind of temps you are pushing through your cpu... Water has to evaporate its normal physics. Im sure saying if you are going to be running these high temps within a year i would be looking to replace or at least check and make sure nothing is wrong.

Took me 5 seconds to look up corsair all in one WC problems and clicked the first link that poped.

sorry for being so off topic, BUT apon further research they are promising 5 years out of it. So it shouldnt be that bad, You did get the h100 right? The two newer h80 and h100 have that warranty. BUT the older h60 and h70 had those problems with water evaporating over time and cpu temps rising to the point of having to replace them.

You are spot on Chaney, the water will eventually evaporate, but as you said, it's after prolonged use and how you use the cooler. Condensation will form on the radiator and that will cause the water inside the H100 to eventually run out (albeit it is likely to be a long time, but it will eventually run out and have to be replaced).

Are these delta temps you are talking about?

i run my i7 2600k with 5 ghz @ 1,5 volts 24/7 and it has to be 1,5 volts to be rock solid stable

Lol. You've said that on three or four different topics.
