Hello guys !!!

Its another extreme overclocking update from my OC sessions at ASUS India Office!!

Today I had a chance to do some extreme overclocking using the best mini-itx motherboard Maximus VII Impact and the brand me Strix 980Ti DC3.

The complete system specs :-

  • Asus Strix 980Ti
  • CM V1000
  • Gskill Pi
  • Intel 4790K
  • Samsung 840 Pro

This was the 1st time I was benching this 4790k and by some good luck this CPU did amazing work and was able to run hwprime at 6.1Ghz, Cinebench r15 at 5.9Ghz and 5.8 on 3D benchmarks

Nice!
a few questions:
1. whats the grey 'm-seal' looking goo all over the motherboard?
2. were you able to run any games to see how much a boost the oc gave?
3. can you tell us more about the cpu cooler (or post some links). i can't seem to find any reliable info online on what it is or how it works. Thanks :)

The grey material is called kneading eraser used to insulate the motherboard from all that water which starts forming.

You don't do extreme overclocking for gaming ;) I will do some overclocked gaming results thread soon, So check that out when its posted :D

The CPU cooler is called an LN2 pot for using with LN2 or Dry ice. The ln2 pot used here is called Der8auer ECC http://der8auer.com/product-category/cpucontainer/beast/
