My fault completely on the Scan bit, I completely missed that. Now I already said if the 1283 was enough once, why not now. If you want pretty spring for the DK. By your own points along the way, whats 3-5 degrees right? thats all the Mega is going to help, the Noc 12 series is if you need silence, the mega is close enough to it to not warrant the extra loot. Personally my answer is a Xig 1283 of any flavor with dual Noc 140's (up to 110...

Ive tried the other day upping the multis in the bios, since i don't really intend going over the 3.2 ghz barrier (400mhz over stock) and the system was just fine, temps went from 44 at full load to 45.5 or something like that, the system was stable and all, but since i really didn't noticed any kind of improvement in gaming (Mass Effect, Dragon Age Origins and Modern Warfare 2) i just turned it down to normal once more. For now,...

In practice, yes. IN reality, process variations prevent anyone knowing for sure. AMD recommended 1.55v is safe, yet others do not feel comfortable pushing that voltage.

im not an overclocker, but from what i have read, a way to test stability is to run prime95//occt/linpack for as long as u can without getting a bsod
if u get a bsod, it indicates instability in the overclock
does it only happen when running prime95 or other oc testing programs?
EDIT: how much ram are you running, and at what speeds and voltages? can u link the model u ram u have off of ...

if you dont need it, sell it. I haven't gone to water cooling for the exact
reasons you stated your thinking of going back to air for.

simple setting for 3ghz are
Vcore 1.375v
Multy x 15
fbs 200
Leave the NB as it should be ok, unless your also clocking your ram. As usual all this will differ between CPUs and Equipment, so tweak around till you hit a sweet spot.
Edit: just spotted something. your NB is 0.6v, but the default on my board it 1.0v so i dont know what the diffrence is there. maybe its just chipset.

This is a pretty good cooler.
See what you think about this 1.

I've always thought it's best to have high CFM fans push and pull :P
My fans on my radiator push 77cfm. I use Yate Loon high speed fans. I am thinking of 4 more for pull.

for overclocking you want it locked at 100mhz
anything over 105 mhz (in my experience) will stress out gpu hdd onboard sound etc..
except on an asus p5l mx.. board is a beast

My setup does better pushing. I have medium speed fans with triple rads
with less restrictive fins, and get 1-3C better temps in push rather than
pull. It's not a really huge difference in most cases. The difference is
larger with higher speed fans, or rads with more restrictive fins.

Well the safeness of the unlock depends on the CPU itself. You would have
to check stability. As far as the overclock the same goes. It all depends.
And if all you want is 2.8 to 3.0.. You wont have to work up volts any just
change the multi. Im sure you could go alot higher.

I had a mITX with onboard that did that once. Seemed unplugging it and
clearing the CMOS did the trick where just the CMOS clear didnt. I left
mine overnight though.

That 74.1C specification can only be measured by cutting a groove into the top of your heatsink and mounting a thermocouple to the geometric center of your heat spreader. Translation: that spec is a meaningless number for most end users. It was designed to guide system builders with the necessary tools to correctly measure this. Any software, including SpeedFan can not accurately tell you what...

Welcome to TPU.
The 940 is a black edition and has an unlocked multiplier. Try setting your fsb back to 200 and up your mulitiplier to like 17. That should be good with stock volts and than continue on from there.
