My Freezone FZ1000

Reached a New milestone tonight 3.8
Now this took some doing had to readjust some voltages a couple of times and remove half of my 8 gigs of ram, I ran several stress test to accomplish this one, but got her done! rams back in and it's running freaking great too!!!
Temps are still on the low side will post some pictures of the final results thanks go out to smduff for helping me to accomplish the final results, I cannot believe the difference in speed I am seeing already not just working with programs but my boot time has been cut in half! :

Hey vinny that is fantastic news! Pretty cool learning this stuff isn't it. :Cool:

yes I'm loving it Joel and learning a lot from you guys in the process thank you!

"Cool" Vinny! Nice to hear it's working out for you and having fun doing it.

will be going for 4.0 on the weekend :

Cool, go for it Vinny!

Yes I will try it first without changing voltage and see how that goes and if necessary go up in very small amounts till its stable again this one has me a little nervous lol! I will definitely take my time with it!

I know what you mean, as I am just starting out doing this myself.

Sounds like a good plan for sure!

That is a big overclock for that CPU but attainable with patience and the proper cooling which you have. There are not a lot of folks that where able to get stable @ 4.0 with that chip without having a full blown water setup or a chilling system like yours!

Best of luck and we will be keeping an eye on this. :D:

So Vinny, have you made progress?

nope actually it crashed on me yesterday before I had the chance to try, and I don't really know why. But for some reason I lost my IDE DVD drives before the crash, I shut it down unplugged them plugged them back in, thinking when I did the mod maybe I didn't plug in the 4 pin all the way on the one DVD drive that would not power up, and when I booted up is when it crashed, and a message came up asking me to go back to default settings in the bios I said yes it booted and I was back to stock settings went back in to bios and set it up again for 3.6 this time ran a stress test again all OK running with 3.6 will go back to 3.8 and try it all again I suspect its one of three things power supply, mother board, or a voltage setting in the bios I don't have time to play around now but will figure it out! when I go back to 3.8 and try it again.
Once I am sure everything is perfect in 3.8, I will go for 4.0 but not till I'm absolutely sure.

Keep us posted vinny it can be a lot of trial and error before ya get there.

I have a new 1200 watt power supply headed my way in about a week along with a Corsair P128 SSD and once I install those will get back to overclocking
my computer and will keep you guys posted on my progress :

sweet!

I'm sure you will love the SSD. Have fun.

Sounds great Vinny!

Well I am back to an OC of 3.8 ran stress test and all ok seems to be very stable, and is very responsive (fast) will work with it and see how it go's got bored lol! so yes Im not waiting for the SSD and PS before I continue
figure by then I will be ready for 4.0!!!

Looks like your cooler is doing a great job but what's up with the 2nd hard drive. Big difference between the 2.

its my desktop 750 gig usb drive the freakin thing never runs cool!

I'm seriously thinking of pulling the case off of it to see whats up, the vents on it are at the bottom, and part of the stand its in cased in, its the Seagate freeagent and a piece of shit as far as cooling go's hello!!!the vents are on the bottom stupid ass's hello heat rises!

Vinny take the external usb drive case apart. Cut a hole in the cover with a dremel tool and add a 120 mm fan to the top to suck the hot air out. You should have a few fans sitting there now.

yeah Im going to pull it apart today if I have time

There is nothing wrong with vents on the bottom as long as there are matching vents on the top. You need both for the air to flow. Before adding the fan you may just need to drill some holes in the top.

its a sealed unit no vents other then the one at the bottom its part of the stand its mounted on and comes this way from the manufacture external Free Agent drive from seagate
