    Just an update for anyone that may be watching this build, I have essentially hit a brick wall.. my sound issue is coming and going of its own free will, still in search of a case, my video card waterblock is currently being held in Australia while I get the monies together, and of course I have hit a brick wall on overclocking without even gaining enough to see a difference.

    UPDATE EDIT

    hit 3044.8 mhz stable and holding at 26 degrees celsius or 80 degrees farenheit.. ac is running so phase change is helping a lot.

    Another clock update, got to 3.4 before it started blue screening. It gives me hope that maybe a high clock speed isn't out of the question. Just want to throw out some quick thanks again to buzz, oneslowz28, kayin, theboy4rmoz, and anyone who has contributed in this thread for helping me out.

    thats about where I got to without out volting the ram but it wouldnt post at 3.6.. I am going to look at the ram specs later to see what i can comfortable volt to. I got lucky the ram I got from buzz is the same latency as the g skill I already had so heres hoping they match in voltages as well.

    RAM is very sensitive to voltage. Check to see if your board allows you to change the DRAM ratio (or equivalent) before you increase the voltage there. Every board I've ever owned has allowed it, but I've always bought boards for OCing. If yours has the option you can turn the ratio up so the RAM runs a bit slower for more OCing headroom.
    I'll procrastinate tomorrow.

    WELLLLLLLL fantastic I have what my best guess would be iron precipitate in other words it looks like i have rust suspended in my liquid... i have sourced distilled water but I am wondering what my additive of choice should be.

    What did you fill it with initially? You always want to use either distilled water or some specially designed liquid. For distilled water, you can go as simple (and cheap) as getting a jug of distilled water at the grocery store. The special distilled water that some places online sell isn't any different, just got a badge on it. For an additive, you can get anti-fungal/anti-corrosive additives, and that's really all that's necessary. If you want a colored liquid I would recommend going with a pre-made colored liquid, not the additives. The additives tend to have a higher risk of separation.

    larkooler coolant, essentially antifreeze without such a high glycol content.
