View Single Post - Overclocking std. 8800GTX, how much is possible?

I was also thinking about using the Y connectors, but I didnâ€™t have any. Another way of doing it was like Thermal take wrote by using another radiator between the GPU and CPU.

My problem regarding the Y connector or the second Radiator option was that I live in Denmark. I might be the only over clocker here, because no water-cooling accessories are available in the shops. The fastest way to get water-cooling equipment here is to order it from Sweden or Norway, which makes the delivery time at least a week.

I am very impatient, so I decided to do it as mentioned in one of my earlier posts:

Radiator -> GPU -> Reservoir -> CPU -> Radiator. This way there is a long between the hot components as possible and it can cool of a little. My experience now is that even though the GPU have been cooled before the CPU, only running through the reservoir gives the cooling it needs. It is hard to see any temperature changes in the CPU temps after the GPU cooling have been added, so I am still running 3600MHz at the CPU with no problems.
My water-cooling gear is now a black Thermal Take Kandalf LCD chassis with a Thermal Take ND4 GFX cooler.

Still only 14.035 in 3dmark 2006 (trial version from the futuremark homepage)

Next step must be doing the Vmod on the 8800GTX.
