Overclocking my XFX 650i Ultra

[remybfg10k]

Hi guys,

I`m going to attempt to overclock my CPU and Graphics card soon and hopefully as a relative o/c n00b some of you guys can help me through it all :-)

System:

E6420
XFX 650i Ultra
Gainward Bliss 640mb 8800GTS
2 x 1GB Transcend 667 (I couldnt afford the 800mhz after buying the 640mb card!)
Liquidsilver 500W Powersupply (will have to relook this i think)

I have a vantec graphics card cooler and the rest of the cooling is stock.

I don't know what else i would need to add value?

Thanks guys!

You may think about getting a after market CPU cooler, Intels air coolers aren't going to get you all that far in the OC'ing game.

I have the same MoBo and CPU as you.

In a few days a review will be posted of a water cooling kit and you will see my results with the intel stock cooler and aftermarket air cooler and water cooler.

Get a good cooler and you can hit some good numbers.

I sure hope that you're using a "REAL" water cooler...........;)

uh-oh :ahhhhh:
:hide:

I think I know which one that your testing..........;) You'll be pushing the limits of the cooler trying to run a OC'd C2D I think..............:)

I think I know which one too.:whistler:

who's been leaking information!! (no pun intended) LOL

well the cat is out of the bag now and the nautilus 500 performed admirably thought nothing like your setup Bio im sure.

Honestly, the Nautilus 500 is one of, if not the best out of the box pre-built water cooling systems, I just wish that they would use a better radiator. I know people that have swapped the rads for either the BI or Swiftech jobs and have gotten much better performance out of them.

Actually I was thinking it was going to be about the Coolermaster Aquagate S1 :lol:

[Bio-Hazard]

LOL....Honestly I don't think I'd even try putting a S1 on a C2D and try OC'ing it, but you never know, it may perform just fine up to a point.
