Chiller's Hybrid Level 10

[croimans]

everybody his opinion.

the reason why i cool these Xeon down with this overkill cooling is for good 24/7 OC and Bclock stability on the 5520 Chipset.

The X5550 is a 920 sort of kind model, only better QPI etc

but need high Bclock, also for playing and benching.

I know what cpu do, because a had also before this a 980X on TEC, Air and Vapochiller.

For me is the overclock important, therefore i put those massive coolers in

Ahhh Ive got X5670's. Againt hough even with high bclk Ive never had an issue. Mine will eventually be in a 10c server room though!

 

[croimans]

mine will not be in a server room, but for benching, overclocking etc and 24/7 gaming internet rig.

this build is..... extreme! Cant help but think it would have been less work to make your own case from scratch XD All your power fittings and cable management are beautiful! This is a serious BEAST of a machine! Cant wait to see how it all shapes up!

Do you have an overall component list you're going for? GPUs sound cards hard drives? I'll shamefully admit I mostly looked at the pictures so probably missed it if there was one XD

TWO X5550 XEONS

SR_2 MOBO

SR_2 PSU 1200W

gtx580 3x

RevodriveX2 240Gb

Thermaltake dual bay 650W psu

Koolance 360 cpu blocks with custom mounting

SR-2 full cover block

level 10 case modded to fit SR-2

Slot-in dvd drive

lian-li slimdrive drivebay

ECP Panel modded + EVbot in front plate

Corsair dominator GT 2000mhz CL9 12gb kits

and lots of custom stuff

 

[JackSpyder]

Now that is a juicy spec!

 

[croimans]

could be better next year with X5690's when they are retail.

 

[JackSpyder]

Something for you to look forwards to.

 

[croimans]

indeed

Does the Revo have TRIM yet?

Sick rig tho. I have read about it as Scan do a bundle and you can overclock the tits off of both CPUS

Only EVGA board I would ever consider based on the fact it's an absolute animal

 

[croimans]

the revodrive doesn't support trim, because it's raid.

 

[croimans]

I cut up an Evga ECP Panel for building it in the front of my case.

little soldering, and i will have a EVbot connecting in front, a DEBUG lcd, Clear CMOS switch and switches for disable PciE and cpu's.

This will be build in a Lian-Li slim-drive Bracket where together with a slot-in dvd drive also can go two SSD harddrives in it :

i cut the ECP Panel up because you see always mods with just the ECP Panel screwed in the case, now i change this to my own taste.

Here is the Lain-Li slim dvd drive bracket,

(bought in usa)

Here you see how i build in all the different switches, lcd en connectors, these will come behind a grey smoke acryl plate :

Clear CMOS with his tiny hole :

Total overview of the case :

In the case it's still dark, but also on the graphics cards will come nice mods etc......:

Yeah I know. It's basically two SSDs on a board with a raid controller in the middle. However the Kingston SSDs now support RAID IIRC. And without TRIM it will drive you nuts. Just be sure to image it regularly and wipe it using Diskpart. Degradation happens really fast.

 

[Dewinte]

Aggressive and good garbage control that actually does it's job will negate the loss of trim if left idle and not on low power for enough time in a given period. Therefore degradation wont occur if the correct SSD's are used in RAID and treated properly. No need to reimage and blaaaa.

little update for tonight,

the Evga ECP Panel of Classified mobo's, i cut it in pieces,

And this is what i did with those pieces, i only whanted to use the Clear CMOS button and the debug lcd,

also i enlarged the connectors in the IO-Shield of the Evga EVbot to the front plate for easy acces.

There still needs to come a slim dvd drive slot-in and a grey smoke front plate :

If Chiller wishes (or some one else) please move this to off topic or hard drives.

The reason that TRIM does not work in raid is because it can only see one controller. This means it cannot address the entire drive and thus won't try to.

I have absolutely no idea if any one or company has written an application that can run a clean house on Raid SSD however I don't think so. From what I recall the only company to do so are Intel and they have their own garbage utils that are pretty much TRIM commands but work on other OSes other than 7.

However, it does not work with Raid. This is why Intel have began making proprietory controllers that will work in RAID. The catch, however, is that it will only work on their drives in RAID. Why would you dump millions to help other people out?

From what I can gather these new Kingstons seem to have the TRIM function (or whatever you want to call it) on the actual drive itself. It doesn't rely on any software.

The bottom line is without TRIM the drives will degrade faster than your head can spin. Not within months, or after a year, but within weeks.

 

[croimans]

the posts between it over the TRIM may be a different topic, but it doesn't have to.

because they don't react on my pics, but more on the trim function lol

 

[alienware]

Sorry mate. I know that in your circs you obviously don't give a flying damn about TRIM. Fast is key, sacrifices need to be made.

You obviously understand the drawbacks of running SSD without TRIM so fair play to you.
