HeretEK-An EK Vulture build

Too bad the back panel wasn't done in that red! Still looks great though, like all your builds.

How did I miss this one?! Nice job B Neg, nice job!

I'm a huge fan of rigid metal piping as you know and the attention this will get is well deserved.

The competition may be over but the modding never stops...

Some final touches and the lighting,outdoor shots tomorrow!

Temps are good,Stock is 48c max on the CPU on OCCT and the GPU's dont go past 44c, not bad for a parallel full loop. Ambient is 24c

What is good is that the GPU temps dont have a knock on effect on the CPU other than equilibrium changes.

 

[NeverBackDown]

Thats some crazy low temps for the CPU! What OC you got it running on?

Also love the end result! Did an amazing job!

Photo for the Corsair link im using.

I have finished a quick 4.3@1.25v OC for a rough idea of what this chip will be like and to get an idea of the cooling potential of the setup,I had some initial concerns about flow rate and the low rad space.
That said,I am getting half decent results,nothing HWBot but I wasnt expecting that due to the much reduced flow to the CPU block.
Stress testing was done via x264 initially,it gives a good baseline before proceeding with more...athletic ....testing.

Ambient: 20c
58c on the hottest core,averages of around 49c

20 passes of that and we moved on to OCCT,not Linpack or P95 as I dont need that kind of furnace testing.

Temps went up but not terribly tho,hitting 74c on the hottest core,66 being the average.

For a fully parallel setup and restricted rad space,this is pretty good! I can see another D5 or dual 10w DDC going in along with a EK XE 360 for good measure.

Lovely as usual.

Ok,got my 24/7 OC finished,not a screamer but more than enough for the hot summer ambients and limited rad space.

Just settling in for some Eliteangerous...

And core temps from a 1h OCCT run.

Amazingly,the Corsair Link has caused no problems.....doesnt give full control over speeds but knowing what Corsair specs their fans with PWM wise,im not surprised.

Lots of BIOS and in OS tinkering to get the USB working as it should tho.

Congrats on winning my vote, which is by far the most important tbh and an incredible achievement for any modder. ^_^

The on desk shot of the build is powerful. Lighting works really well.
