Indeed, but most overclockers here laugh in the face of 'chances are' - I'm not one of them, but some here are very stringent about what they consider stable.

You mean voltage "across" the cpu, but anyways...so you're saying you run your CPU at max stress for more than 24 hours regularly???
For the avg user...a 6 hour stress test is good enough, but most people recommend you run a cpu stress test for a solid day. It does always depend on the user and how often there cpu is under stress, but if your running at full load for more than 24 hours...your CPU isn't gonna last that long anyways, so whats the point of OC'ing? Thats my view, , and it doesn't seem naive to me at all.

Through, across, same thing.
Look, even if you're NOT RUNNING at load, you're still running the same volts. Meaning the same chance of elecromigration that will destroy your CPU.
I don't keep the same CPU for more than 3-4 months, and I still don't risk a Q6600 above 1.5v.

I have my 2.66GHz Q9450 at 1.3v which is 3.4GHz, thats all I'm going to push it. 3.6GHz shouldn't be a problem BUT why chance it. keeping an eye on your temps will tell you alot

See how much you can go without raising the volts. Thats the key. Don't raise the volts too much and keep your temps under check.

well you could lower Vcore by upping FBST, CPU PLL, GTL references aswell :)

Yeah. Just don't take them too far. I think the max limit for pll is about 1.9.

:O
i wont take my E2140 over 1.7
i dont think over 1.5 would be safe for 45nm.
with 45nm chipsets, most people put too much VTT through them, and this is what causes tham to die, its not so much the Vcore

Lmao, TheftAuto is right, getting that confused is a cardinal sin in electronics, we were given 0 for our electronics homeworks at school if we got that wrong... haha
I can't speak for the finer points of overclocking as I do most of it on Auto, but too much voltage through ANYTHING is bad.

I'm sure there is alot more on this Asus Rampage mobo i could tweak out OC(ing) ,its got so many setting. I guess i need to google this mobo for OC(ing) and see what else i can do

i have only 1 thing on my P5K-E on auto, which is traction booster, as i have no idea where or what to do with it.
i have my NB GTL refernces and CPU GLT refernces at x61, not sure if i should inceace or decreace, as they are stable on these, but im sure reducing/increacing them would allwo a few extra mhz out of mt E2140, i mean 3.4GHz is good, but i want to try 3.5 for rounding off :) but from 1.6 stock, IMO im impressed by this E2140 and the P5K-E

BeQuiet's PSUs are pretty good, but no PSU is quiet with that much load. The Zalmans do it best, but even they won't be quiet with two 4870X2s.

With little thought I'll say no such thing exists, at least not for long. Every time I build one or complete a parts list for a build some manufacturer comes out with something that would make it better. That means the dream machine of the day is tomorrow's obsolete toy.
Couldn't resist. LOL I know the thread is for discussing individuals' idea of their dream PCs. My idea of a dream PC is one so far advanced that it would have the task done before I think of it. LOL

Well... if you build a dream computer now, it should be the best for at least a month, and then Nehalem comes out...

thats why i have all those fan controllers.
and i have the second loop in there, for whent he water blocks for the X2 are out :)
the 120.3 is for the CPU (which should have been a QX9770 btw) adn the 120.4 for the dual 4870X2s

irrelevant. The 4870X2s will be loud, and the PSU louder still, and to my knowledge you can't currently watercool either. Perhaps try and find the Koolance watercooled PSU? Seemed to do very well in tests.

the blocks for the X2 ARE out. they have jsut reached OEM so i give it 2 weeks to reach retail.
well i will have to see review on the PSU (which i havnt found yet) to see the noise at differnt loads.

To see specifically how loud it is we will, but a 4870X2 combination even with the CPU at stock draws 750W AC, and even the quietest PSU currently on the market, the 1KW Zalman is loud with that much load.
Kilowatt Power supplies
Zalman 1KW:
0-400W: 20dB
400-480W: 20-25dB
480-540W: 25-30dB
540-580W: 30-35dB
580-750W: 35-40dB
750W+: 40dB
Enermax Galaxy:
0-160W: 30dB
160-200W: 30-35dB
200-360W: 35-40dB
360-430W: 40-45dB
430-500W: 45-50dB
500W+: 50dB
Silent 450W Power supplies
BeQuiet DarkPower Pro 430
0-75W: 21dB
75-175W: 21-25dB
175-250W: 25-30dB
250-400W: 30-35dB
400-430W: 35dB
Corsair VX 450W
0-230W: 21dB
230-290W: 21-25dB
290-325W: 25-30dB
325-350W: 30-35dB
350-375W: 35-40dB
375-405W: 40-45dB
405-450W: 45-50dB
It's difficult to make out what the 1200W Darkpower will be like based on these tests. If it is like the lower power brother, it wil be hopeless in a high-power silent rig, but probably be quite bearable under heavy strain.
