Preliminary testing for upcoming build

Yes, your temps seem very normal to me. Change those settings and run WPrime again for a comparison. I'll try to rig something similar up here to attempt to answer some of your questions.

Screen from awhile back...I don't think I had both A and B joined and I'm sure the Boreas was not performing as well as yours is atm. Look where the temps began on mine...

Keep in mind that the Boreas is nothing more than a decked out water cooling solution...it aint God lol. You can't run much of anything at 5GHz steady diet and expect it to fare well for long....even with a ss. I think you can do 5GHz easily with the Boreas when you want or for bragging rights, but I would save another tamer profile in bios for daily duty.

Wow that is a huge help Rick, yea I was thinking this would do 5Ghz in the 50's or low 60's

Looks like I was over estimating a bit. I appreciate you taking the time bro, I will rerun at the new settings when I get home form work tonight. If Dom can chime in with ambient water that will really start to tell the story of how effective this is at these clocks.

Don't plan on benching this unit competetivly, what my goal with this build is flat out top 24/7 bullet proof clocks.
Just want to build something over the top that is a complete waste of money and resources just for the fun of it. ...............

That's awsome Dom ..............

Thanke bro

Ambient temp ?

Ambient water 1.408v 4899Mhz (75) (83) (85) (78)

Ambient temp = 21C

Cool it Boreas 1.408v 4889MHZ (67) (69) (67) (58)

So on average across all 4 cores we are looking at 80.25C on ambient water and 65.25 on the Cool it

15C better, that is actually not to shabby

that is only $ 33.33 a degree based on what I pad for it, worth every penny ....

This is promising to say the least. What will better blocks and pumps do, Possibly a rad,can it get me the 5 to 10 degrees I was hoping for as my origional thought going into procees saw me getting 20C better than ambient water, this may be acheivable after all.
I will test tonight with the setting Rick gave me and see if I can improve the staock results before tearing it down and adding componets
