:D
Some weeks ago I had the opportunity to change my case radiator and waterblock. I hope my new
LianLi PC-77 will last as long as my old PC-70 (which will be the new chassis for my server).
- The CPU waterblock is a
DangerDen TDX for a 939 socket (the price was about 30% of the AM2 version: It only changes the methacrylate shape the copper part is the same). ~20€
- The chipset waterblock is also a DangerDen, but very old one (not listed) 16€. Dremelized to fit on the old chipset spot.
- The radiator, I was looking for something "big" (for my next cpu), so I bought the
360 GTX from black ice. 100€ (not cheap but the last one lasted for 6 years, so it was time to change).
I'm aware that TFC is making incredible products beating most black ice products, but 360 version can't fit inside the 5,25 bays.
- The pump is the old
EHEIM 1048 (fantastic! more than 6 years working :D)
New 1/2' tubbing and some mosfet radiators because I removed the pipe-**** (the chipset runs very very (+58ºC) hot with the default cooling system).
Some images:

#02
(1) Noctua P-12 (2) Pasp F/2GLL (one of them GL)
It is not "finished" I'm still working on the "conduits"
. There is also missing a 8600GT, the tv card and the memory fan.
Here are my problems/doubts.
When "retesting" the system, CPU can go until ~3,4Ghz and memory ~486Mhz but not at the same time. Maybe has something to do with the "chipset" voltages listed on the BIOS but I don't know exactly what they are.
CPU/chipset HT voltage <-- (1) some sites say is the voltage between memory and cpu, others between cpu and chipset, does someone know what exactly is that?
Chipset core voltage <-- (2) why is usually needed to increas chipset voltage?
Chipset stand-by voltage <-- (3) why there is a stand-by and "none" stand-by chipset voltage?
chipset PCI-E Voltage <-- ***
CPU Vcore offset <-- no problem with this.
Motherboard manual don't give clues.
*** I also have all the PCI-E frequencies in AUTO. (4) To change them can actually increase performance? I think I read that is better not to change that.
Finally I would like to know if someone could help me to find an "easy-to-read" guide about the basics on memory overclocking, divisors, timmings, etc.
BTW! Some results
I lowered the cpu multiplier to 12x and I don't know why 667 divisor went from CPU/9 to CPU/8. Better for me because CPU/7 was too high, and CPU/9 was too low
So HTT@280Mhz cpu is running at 3360Mhz and memory at 420Mhz. I'll try to set memory to CPU/7 (to run it at 480Mhz).
As you can see I have the HT multiplier at 3x because I read that should not exceed 1000Mhz, does it matters if I set it at 4x (1120Mhz)? Has something to do with the voltages listed below?
I tried to find how far a 5600+ has gone but google is full of useless results and is becoming very annoying to find anything.
A friend of mine changed his 8600, for a 8800. He knew I had a 8600 so the give it to me. That was in a celebration we have before christmas, 6th january.
