Running two pumps in series is a bad idea, stronger pump is likely to kill the weaker one. 2.6m head should be ample for the ek block (which does well with low pressure loops, what were you hoping to replace it with?), about my only guess is the pumps fighting resulting in a low head pressure. What happens to the flow if you turn one/other off?

OK, Kingstons site says 4-4-4-12 at 1.95v, but when you get the datasheet for it, it says 5-5-5-18 at 1.9v and 4-4-4-12 at 2v. So manually setting it as 4-4-4-12 at 1.95v like it says on the main page, how much more likely am i to receive data errors/ corruption etc? What i will do is go back into the BIOS, change the voltage to 2.0v and set the timings to auto again and see what everest and CPUZ say. Here's a SS of CPUZ and everest...

Im currently running 21x183 for 3.84ghz, turbo and ht enabled, if i7 is anything like s775, lowering the multi puts more strain on the memory controller (which is on the cpu on i7's) many of the i7 clocking guides ive read reccomend avoiding the 20x multi as its harder to get stable, i cant confirm this myself as i havent tried it yet.

I'm going to go slightly off-topic here and say that anyone who buys anything in the run-up to Christmas should expect to be ripped off stupid. Prices will drop in January, especially on new stuff. IT prices typically hit their bottom in May-August which is one reason why some much new stuff is launched in the summer - it helps keep stuff moving through stores. On the VAT increase you should only buy to beat the VAT increase if you have...

Ha, not for 70 quid though mind!

i would go back to 3.8ghz if that was stable? then start slowly incresing the overclock again then run prime 95 each time you up the overclock!

I only have one fan in my pc and its a noiseblocker S2 at 7v worth every penny if you only have 1 or 2. BUT they are case fans (do not use on rad/HS) GT on rads (YL's if you have a PA120.x rad) or so I'm told

Congrats on a wise choice. Told you they were good 800rpm for case should be fine but if you can't hear the 1450 why not just get more of them?

If you get anything get the new one unless it's out of your budget. As far as the competitors link, I'm in the states and don't know anything about competitors etc so mods can take the link down if they don't like it. As for products I guess they...
