Just use some dielectric grease. I use Dow Corning, that they use on aircraft. It is quite easy to remove from hardware if you know how, and will protect everything nicely
I think that there will be a tiny bit of condensation unless you create a vacuum under the head...

I've seen people using vaseline aswell but not a good idea.

I forget it can also stand for screenshot, suicide shot, seal string (maybe) and god knows what else. I really think 3.5 should be on the cards with a GT though.
SS = Secret Service, Secret Squirrel, Stainless Steel and something to do with American Boats.
That speed could be on the cards - just expect 3.4 and be chuffed with anything more, Daz boots only got 3.45 from his wk16 with r507 Mach cooling so it's more than just what your CPU can theoretically achieve.

Guys I would be soo happy if I got those speeds.
Fatty can you remember what clocks your 57fx achived with air/water? Did you get more than 3ghz?
Also I know I asked this somewere else but dont think I got an answer.
What vcore are the 57's s'posed to be at when at standard speeds?

I mean that your overclock is only as good as the weakest link, motherboard, BIOS, RAM, PSU etc.....
If any of these do not live up to the requirements of the CPU - you will not achieve the euphoric clocks others have been able to do.
I am quite the realist when it comes to these things and I think from your perspective that you go into these things under no illusions, which I think we have covered.
By the number of posts you have generated I think you are possibly over-analysing what to do next - maybe slow down, digest the information collected in all the sections here - it's very easy to talk yourself out of something if you think too much

ME too Fatty mate - no half measures here, we are EXTREME PROMETEIA after all
Mav I just like to get an idea of what to expect, this way if when my mach arrives and I install it I will know wehat to aim for and if I'm way under the others then this could indicate that I may have a mounting issue or something else is causing a prob.
I can not really talk myself out of anything as the mach is already paid for, its just a case of getting as much info on the questions a dont know the answer to before the hardware arrives.
Getting good info from people such as yourself, gollum and fatty is very important to me as it could mean the difference between a smooth install of my mach and good o'clocks or a a nightmare such as what Justin went through with his install.
Plus with my new 57fx being my latest toy I like to talk about it, just as most other guys when they get a new bit of hardware.
I shall slow it down if you prefer tough.
Cheers.

I understand mate - best advice I can give you is this:
Take your time installing watch the video in the other thread a few times, double check everything and you'll be fine - Only use one level of seal string as good contact is as important as a good seal.
Like any other overclocking - Crank the FSB up on stock volts first - 250Mhz x13 should be achieveable at this setting (make sure you set HTT multiplier to x3 or x4). Then increase the volts slowly and then push teh HTT further.
1.6v should yield your best overclock, push further when you are happy with your temps and push a bit further to get benchable clocks.
I would probs start at the settings you have for watercooling overclock and just push the HTT up further until you reach the ceiling.

Thank you kindly mav.
For someone about to get his hands on a mach 2 GT this forum is the best out there, bar none.
I really am impressed by the support and offered by its members, also these members have accive some of the worlds best results and have been messing with phase cooling for many years. I am a new member to the site and it is the best of all the o'clocking forums I have been on.
I have the answers to everything I need to know right now so its just a matter of waiting for the arrival of the GT and do like you say with the install and o'clocking, of all the guides I have to say i found the nventive mach 2 install guide to be the most detailed so I will proberly follow this.
Top work guys on such a great forum

Why thank you sir - we aim to please
Of course support here is ongoing so when it's all ready - help is just a forum away.
Looking forward to seeing how you get on and hope you will join our benchmarking team.

Yes sadly I am. My week 16 can run some benches at over 3.6Ghz on R507 Mach.
Geomon said:I have purchased a new 57-FX and have started to overclock it on water.
At present I am a little dissapointed with its abillities in its o'clocking.
I have been running it at 2.972 100% prime stable but needed a whole 1.530vcore to do so. I think I could get a 3ghz stable clock with some more vcore.
Now I know its no week 16 but is this what the average 57-FX clocks like?
Can I expect it to improve once its run it a bit more?
What should I expect with a Mach GT on it too?
Thx guys.
I now have my FX-57 running at 3.1 on water, And my Vcore is at 1.60 (so it says)?

So do many guys on this forum have the week 16 57-FX chips, and is Dazboots one the only one that wouldn't do more than 3.45ghz?
I just pluged in my 2 extra 120mm fans for my therno rad, this dropped the temps by a whole 7c under load!
Know I am at 3.016ghz at 1.6vcore prime stable. I am gonna leave it all night running prime and then try for another 20 or so mhz. Temps are 44c loaded with 1.6v according to Asus probe.Also I am running this with not the greatest o'clocking board, it is the Asus a8v-e as my dfi is away for an RMA. Hopfully the o'clocks will improve further with the more stable voltage and capacitors of the Dfi board.

The DFI allows you to tweak more in the BIOS which leads to better than expected scores at overclocked speeds.
Give the coolers as much cool air as you can and the make sure you can get the hot air out of the case as fast as you can and it will overclock better (either same speed with less volts or hiogher speeds at same volts) you will find ceiling somewhere but the fun is finding the limit and then tweaking to get the most from it
It's amazing how addictive it can be (especially when you keep improving as youa re right now).
