lost hardware we were equal but the old mod from the water cooling section, Jess he started Cool Hardware he gave ME his kit for hitting 3D Mark for 1 day.

wow, coolness, I remember Jess very well, bought most of my own WC rig from him. His radiators were something else.

lost contact  with Jess  years ago, does anyone know how to get in touch

I wish we knew how to contact a lot of the old members, there are some legends missing from our fold for sure, Jess being one of them! We lost their accounts long ago in one of the (many) phoenix-like rebirths of the forums.

I had one of those 8K3A+ boards, it was fantastic - I didn't abuse it like you did clearly though

Those epox 8K3A+ were the best,, strange how they died.

Yeah, on that - Anyone here know how to get hold of people here, tell them to come back.

Haha now I remember why I bypassed Tec cooling and went straight from water cooling to phase change ...so many horror stories about a slight problem which would be fine 95% of the time with air or watercooling but with a Tec meant BOOM!!! The lot goes! 

I also had a Epox 8K3A+ for awhile (high FSB killed then IIRC) I got 145 out of mine, I was so jealous of those who could hit 150+ lol!!! The Epox was the early K7 board of choice till the  ABit NF7-S 2.0 came out which murdered it on FSB! ...which was king back then.
 
I bumped into Jess after his company folded in about 2005-06 on Xtremesystems forum, I had a outstanding RMA for a stick of 256mb of uber fast Ram at the time his company was wound up, which was way over  100 quid back then!  I wasn't very nice to him, but to be fair he did sort it out very quickly and got a replacement to me, but the Ram was an exact replacement!  ...so at least 2 years out of date and worth about 25 quid by that stage ...but better than a poke in the eye! lol

We had a few people who ran OC'ing business posting on here back then, there was Paulus who was VERY into watercooling and Stella Artois, I bought quite a bit from Stella Artois company he was a Prometeia reseller and had good prices, he wouldn't charge postage to regulars which at the time was rare as 95% of online business charged a pretty standard 6 quid or whatever next day special delivery was with Royal Mail at the time, even on a 2 quid order!

I think Tekheads did a deal with Paulus to get in some Prommy kit. My memory is a bit hazy on that though I remember thinking how heavy they were at the time.

I also reckon the Abit NF7-S 2.0 was the best selling motherboard of all time, we were selling them by the palletload compared to any other board.

You have encountered instability since gromacs fold hotter than Tinkers. The thing to do is to back off about 50MHZ on your oc and you should be OK.
