My WATER-COOLED E6400




Here it is. I finally set up a water-cooled PC. An E6400 Pentium Core 2 Duo running at 3.2GHz.(Stock Frequency of 2.13Ghz). With the watercooling I think I can get 3.6 Ghz out of this CPU.

Motherboard: ASUS P5W DH Deluxe
CPU VCore: 1.375V FSB: 385 Mhz.
RAM: 2 GB Corsair XMS2 PC2-6400 at 2.1V (STOCK rating)

Timings: 4-4-4-12 Cycle Time: 2


Temperatures (using Intel's Thermal Analysis Tool):
Air Cooled: 53 C Water Cooled: 42 C
100% Load Air Cooled: 62 C Water Cooled: 53 C

The water cooling is really amazing. It maintained idle temps and load temps at the same numbers all the way from FSBs of 350 to 385.

Survived Orthos Dual CPU Torture Test: 8 hrs. 0 Errors.

Company of Heroes runs really well on the OC'd CPU.
