Hey all,

 

Ok I'm on a I7 2700k @ 5.0ghz with the big Noctua air cooler. I have quite a bit of experience in the past with vapor phase change coolers, TEC's, and basic water loops. I'm curious what I might be able to push my chip to with either a water chiller or VPC unit, but am wondering if its even worth the time and money for FSX. Anyone here doing extreme cooling running FSX, and if so what have been your performance gains? Im pretty much just doing FSX right now and don't want to start stuffing sockets with dielectric grease, spraying mobo's with non conformal coating, and fabricating gaskets only to end up with non noticeable frames and smoothness increases.

 

Thanks,

You get easy 10%

With a single phase change you probaly not hit the nasty SB coldbug.

5.6 to 5.7 without bclk , probaly you can run the Max multipler 57

Its hard to get stable blck over 103 in fsx

Thats the reason i run IB 3770k no coldbug and you have the 7-10% clock for clock avantage with IB.

I can run My IB up to 5.5ghz 100% stable in fsx that is +6ghz with a SB If you ar lucky you can take a screenshot.

Thats fact , the IB is faster sorry guys.

 

I have run 6months without any problem , only drawback is the starttime 2-3min startup
