    Bludude41 got a reaction from WoodenMarker in Nepton 140XL, CPU Temps Climbing to 100°C   
    So I pulled off the "Warranty Void if Removed" sticker on the radiator fill port, pulled out the old coolant (which had a greenish tint) and put in some distilled water. It was a PITA, had to use a syringe, and tip the radiator every which way between shots because it would shoot right back out the port if I didn't. After I got it completely filled, I hooked it all back up, and the temps kept climbing. That's when I noticed the light on the CPU block, where the pump is.  Upon boot, it would be lit up, but after a while, the light would dim, then go out.  Not sure why, because I had it plugged into the fan header labeled "CPU PUMP". But I noticed that not long after the light on the block goes out, that's the temps skyrocket. So I plugged it into the molex-powered fan header in my Source 530, and the light is now staying completely lit up all the time, and my temps are staying around 32C at idle. Have yet to burn it in, but if anyone else decides to get a X299 UD4, plug their Nepton 240XL into their CPU PUMP header not touch the BIOS fan settings. and are wondering why their chip is hitting T-Junction, it's because your pump is turning off. 
    (I tried plugging the pump into the "SYS_FAN1" header and it was still turning off. Whatever, I fixed it.) Thanks for the advice @fasauceome!
     
    EDIT: Ran IntelBurnTest, maxxed out the chip for a hot minute, and the temps only went up to 65C, which is waayy less than 100. Yaaayyyy!!

    I hear ya. I just re-managed both rigs so each box has their own respective cable set. Thanks!

    Bludude41 got a reaction from Wirbelfeld in DVI cable causing fuzzy resolution?   
    I've had this with a 1440p Samsung monitor. It's not the cable, but more likely one (or both) port(s) on either end of the cable. Digital cables themselves cannot cause fuzziness. Your monitor might have a bad DVI port.

    WAIT HOLD UP. WE DONT WANT LINUS'S PERSONAL PC. The case has a lot of meaning to him guys. It was a gift from his wife. I believe it was the first gift from her too.
    EDIT: Thanks for all the likes guys! Hopefully Linus or someone from LMG will read this and this will make Linus keep his build. Even if the goal of 100k is made we should convince Linus to do another build maybe, with signatures from the whole LMG family and maybe even his wife. This would let Linus keep the build he has with the special case his wife gave him. Besides, his personal PC would be more special to him than us.

    From 1.6 to 3 GHz.  You have taught me well, harrynowl.  63 degrees C and 60 degrees C on the cores right now, but there`s not much I can do about that.

    I have Core Temp, and it's set to be on the icon tray on the taskbar.  Is that okay to use?  It seems to be accurate, because once I reinstalled my stock fan incorrectly like a noob and It was 80C idle and 100C load.

    That's what you use to get a socket 771 CPU to work on a socket 775 motherboard. However you need to cut the tabs at the side of the socket so that you can install the CPU.

    I upped my Core 2 Quad Q6600 from 2.4 GHz to 3.0 GHz thanks to this guide, but I'd like to push it further.  I got it into the BIOS at 3.33GHz. I also managed to get the FSB:DRAM ratio from 2:3 to 1:1.  At 3.33 GHz I get a BSOD trying to boot to Windows.  I'm back at 3 GHz, but trying to push it a few hundred MHz further.  Do I add more voltage, and if so how much? Another thing to note is I overvolted the FSB by 0.05V - should I add more voltage?  I'd like to push it further but I'm really green when it comes to overclocking. (I'm surprised I've made it to 3 GHz.) Anything I should adjust?  Info listed below from CPU-Z:
     
    Bus speed: 333MHz
    Rated FSB: 1332 MHz
    Multiplier: 9 in BIOS, 6 in CPU-Z (9 Max, 6 Min)
    Core Voltage: 1.376V
    Stepping: B
    Revision: G0 (That's the better overclocker, correct me if I'm wrong?)
     
    RAM Info: Single channel DDR2 4GB, with a frequency of 333 MHz with an FSB:DRAM ratio of 1:1, as mentioned above.

    Hi, welcome to my guide for LGA775 overclocking!
     
    I felt like writing this guide because LGA775 can still be a capable platform, plus overclocking is fun. I also see a fair amount of misinformation about LGA775 and overclocking (e.g. they aren't unlocked so can't be overclocked.) So I just felt like putting a guide out there for those interested in doing it, or for those who just want to learn a thing or two.
     

     
    Let's start off with some basic terminology that you'll use when overclocking, some of this may be specific to LGA775.
     
     
     
     
    Some basic maths:
     
     
    Motherboard chipsets and how they compare:
     
     
    So now to the actual overclocking, you'll need to target a desired clock speed. I'll list some common Intel CPUs and some average overclocks.
     
     
     
    Recommended voltages:
     
    Thanks for giving this a read
     
    Feel free to post your results and some benchmarks!
