As per the title I have my liquid loop back up and runing using existing parts I had lying around, the only new parts were, hoses and a T connector to make a drain line with a screw plug stopper on the end.

Total cost including the cleaning materials and new fluid, (distiled water) £20

What sort of size overclock are you running?

At the moment it's running at stock speed,

The last CPU I had, a 775 core 2 duo E8400, I took it from stock speed of 3 GHz up to 4.2 GHz, but the multiplier was locked at 9x, I had to run the FSB at a stupid speed (around 1809 to 2140 MHz) to get the 4 GHz mark and beyond.

After 4.2 GHz the system wouldn't boot, it would post but not boot.


I might take this beyond 4.2 GHz, see if I can get it up to the 5GHz mark.

Nice! What speed are you expecting the fab to be for 5ghz..? Would you not have to cool the northbridge and cmos?

I have got a old system I'm building , its an Intel core 2 quad and I'm going to see how much of an overclock I can get...

TBH I'm not sure what to expect,
On my last mobo when I broke 4GHz, the northbridge and CMOS were air cooled with their stock coolers, only the CPU and GPU were liquid cooled, same as this set up, the northbridge and memory only started complaining after I took it beyond 4.2GHz.

I've decided to leave it as stock settings, it can play crysis on very high settings without even breaking a sweat, so all in all I'm happy.

update...

i've installed my blue neon.
