Hi all, I have just setup a new system using X58 ATM I have 6gb of trident 2000mhz ram running @ 1700mhz T1 My question is If I add another 6gb so using all 6 slots will this still run at this speed and T1 or will it be like the old AMD and slow down to T2 timings. Has anyone already done...

Hi all, I am going to be rebuilding my comp this week having bought new hardware, I thought I would redesign my case at the same time. One thing I was looking at doing was to fit UV feet to my mountain mods case and to light them using 5mm UV LEDs. What I was wondering is if there is a way to...

Hi all, I wan't to say a big thank you to everyone that gave me advice and info during my planning stage for my new setup. (first time water cooling) After many months of building, rebuilding, blowing things up :( and generaly traveling a huge learning curve, I have now almost finished. I...

Hi, I have been away from the forums for a while, have Aqua-pc's stopped the members discounts now ? I can't find the codes anymore !! :mad::(:mad:

Hi all, I wonder if anyone has come across or knows what the problem might be: I recently blew a 3870X2 graphics cards because of a short on the cards board, just before it blew (with lots of smoke) I heard a whining noise from the psu. After replacing the faulty card I find that using 4 * 6...

Hi all, I am now just testing my new build system for leaks etc' and have found that I am getting air in the line coming out from my Swiftech GTZ block. There is no air in the line going to the block but it is very obvious in the line out. I have checked the barbs and hoses also resealed the...

Has anyone used the GTZ yet, they are due in the UK any day now but that is all I am now waiting for to complete my new build. It was a choice between getting the Fusion V2 , Apogee GTX or the EK Supreme untill I heard about the new Apogee GTZ. Is it worth waiting for or is it no better than...

Hi, Does anyone know the hole spacing for the maze5 or maze4 GPU blocks. I want to add my Physx card to the W/C loop but am having trouble finding a good looking block. From what I have read the physx cards have the same spacing as the old Geforce4 cards. It would be nice if some one has the...

Hi, Has anyone used these ?? They come in 1, 2 or 3 slot versions. I was thinking of using one between my two 3870X2 cards, I have the XSPC coolers on both and fitted to a GA-X48-DQ6 mobo. The mobo layout is graphic 1 - pci-e X1 - pci-e X1 - graphic 2 My question is do I need a 2 slot,as I...

Hi, I am cooling two PA120.3 rads on different loops, the fans that I bought to do the job are Thermotake 120mm Thunderblades, I was a bit put out by the name Thunderblade but read that the noise was just 21db with almost 70cfm output at 2000rpm, so I plumped for them. After testing one it...

:worship:Hi all, I have a couple of o/c questions here ATM but after reading some posts I am wondering if I have the right mobo for overclocking. I am running a gigabyte GA-X48-DQ6 with a Q9450 cpu and 4* 2gb Ocz Reaper DDR2 PC8500 1066mhz ram (8gb total) I have a major water cooling system...

Hi all, Has anyone overclocked the Intel Q9450 ?? I am big time water cooling it along with my GA-X48-DQ6 Mobo and was just wondering what sort of stable clocks might be got from it. As far as I know the multiplier cannot be unlocked so I guess it's all down to the FBS and voltage...

Hi all, I have 4 * 2gb sticks of OCZ Reaper 1066 DDR2 (with the heat pipes, can't remember if they are Reaper or Reaper X) ram running on a Gigabyte GA-X48-DQ6 Mobo with a Q9450 Cpu The front bus and cpu run @ 1333mhz but the ram is running @ 1066 with timings 15-5-5-5 - standard voltage. I...

Hi, I have just received 2 PA120.3 rads' but I bought them from eBay and they have no instructions screws etc'. I notice that they have a small screw in the opposite end to the barbs, is this for bleeding ? only I thought that they would be self bleeding or are they just in case of very...

Hi all, I am setting up one of my loops and was going to use a Y splitter to run one line to my CPU and another to my mobo, since the mobo will have three blocks will I run into problems with resistance ? I think that the CPU line will have less resistance than the mobo line and therefore the...
