I decided to retest my FX-57 cpu on Corsair Hydrocool 200EX to compare with original results with my MCW6002/G4 Storm water cooling DIY loop at AMD Athlon64 FX-57 San Diego 90nm Review (CABCE 0516 WPMW).

As you could see in my Opteron 146 adventures thread, apparently my Cathar/Swiftech G4 Storm water cooling loop was apparently flawed. So i switched to my back up, Corsair Hydrocool 200EX external water cooling unit. There is definitely an improvement in max stable clocks on my Corsair Hydrocool 200EX for each cpu i tried compared to my flawed G4 Storm water cooling loop.

FX-57 CABCE 0516 WPMW cpu purchased from i4memory.com's official sponsor, Mittoni.com.au

Info

- Max I could do on G4 Storm water cooling setup was 3090-3105mhz at 1.62-1.664v and that took literally 2 or 3 dozen water block remounts to get right pressure contact.

- Max I could do on Swiftech MCW6002 water cooling setup (exact same as G4 Storm setup just different water block) was 3105-3120mhz at 1.6-1.65v

- Today plucked FX-57 back in with Corsair Hydrocool 200EX and less than 12hrs since AS5 was applied i dialed up 3105mhz at 1.6v and so far so good.

Here's untweaked run just to see where the FX-57 cpu is at on Corsair Hydrocool 200EX. Dinos your wish has been granted seeing FX-57 on Hydrocool

Room temp = 29.6C to 30.8C
CPU idle = 40-42C
CPU load = 52-55C
