Fair enough - i will stress your hardware was in no danger - but i can appreciate your concerns.

You're right WJA, apologies to the OP. If you want something a bit more special then bitspower do silver plated fittings. These can almost be justified in terms of silver being antimicrobial. It'll cost you though, and performance will be identical to cheaper ones. In the spirit of preference, 11/8mm compression fittings with 11/8mm tygon is the best

Can't say that would be £9.00 well spent jon! Maybe worth a punt if it was £0.00 like using an old stock LGA775 heatsink sans fan but I would imagine things could get pretty toasty unless running a low VID chip or a heavily undervolted one . . .

same here went from 3.7ghz q6600 to what i have now, sold it with a abit ip35 pro xe, for me its been a good upgrade with the cpu and board i have now. would of went i5/i7 but meant getting a new heatsink, and the true is still a top air cooler nice spec by the way setter.

vcore about 1.3345 and qpi about 1.235- 1.255 try these.

I take it this is an i7 rig? The IOH Core looks very very high - whats the default?

Here's the review: http://www.vortez.co.uk/contenttelle..._review,1.html And the results: http://www.vortez.co.uk/contenttelle..._review,8.html I'm gonna try and get a Prolimatech Megahalem this week for comparison.

Thing is Intel is allowing chips to automatically overclock. i5 750 goes from 2.66GHz to 3.2GHz by itself when needed for example. I can only see it becoming more common too. Gives overclocked speed but for most of the time, normal power consumption. Win.
