I was able to get 4765MHz earlier today, but had pump problems again and couldn't continue trying. I couldn't get 5GHz quite to windows...just to the beginning of the logo. Then either a reboot, BSOD or BlackSOD.

Now using a fairly low flow submersible, but not submersed. It's a pond fountain pump. It is working effortlessly, silently, and nice and cool. Temps are staying sub-zero I'd say. HWMonitor reports no cpu temp, BIOS reports zero or N/A and PC Probe says 1-2c....PC Probe has never gone to zero I'm pretty sure.

I'm also fairly certain higher flow will produce lower temps so I'm going to get another 1 of the marine utility 12v pumps. I ruined the first 1 with such a highly restricted waterblock on the line for so many hours. Good thing for the 30 day satisfaction guarantee! A pump will run a long time if it's not being worked.

Here is a picture of what I tried this afternoon, after my marine pump got very loud like a bearing was going or something this morning. I tried this because the pump gets hot, but it works very good.

It still got hot even with frost all over the tubing. Live and learn I guess. When a pump starts getting hot it's toast.

EDIT: here is a picture of the new pump in action. Still going to replace it tomorrow though.
