Hey there all.
Please have a look at my intro in the intro section for my info
Case: CoolerMaster Haf X
CPU: AMD 8150 Water block EK Full Copper
MB : ASUS Crosshair V Formula Water block EK Crosshair
GPU: 2X EVGA 480 Water block Danger Den
Ram: Gskill G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB
Rad: Phobya G-Changer 360
SSD:G.SKILL Phoenix Pro Series FM-25S2S-240
HD : Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB
PS : CORSAIR Professional Series Gold AX1200
Reservoir: Zalman Reserator 1 v2
My computer is now 1 year old and would like to share it with you all.
As you will see in the video and pictures I have gone a slightly different route then running in series. I have done this to stop the rise in temp between steps for a GREATER cooling effect with minimal rad's
In my line of work I have to think outside the box, so i applied that to my build.
Some of you may want to know why a 3 way pex manifold.
the reason is this. Total control of water distribution/flow, and temps.
My room at any time is between 17-21C My Idle temps are 21C out of the rad and 25C back in. Under load *BF3 ultra settings , PS2 MASSIVELY modded INI file * 12+ hours will NOT get this computer above 49C even in the hottest days of summer when room temp gets to 26-30C.
The three way manifold i have found it the best way to achieve constant low temps.
Please note that in the last day or so one of my flow meters started to give me false readings, RMA is on it way and it will be replaced. That will most likely lead to some minor maintenance that I will make a video of. That will include a QDC swap on the Zalman reservoir from 1/4" to 1/2", adding a D5 Vario pump to replace the Zalman pump. Re running 1/2" lines to my Rad.
I am EXTREMELY happy at the robustness of this and cant wait to really push it... and that were some problems come in.
PITA #1. getting to the actual BIOS menu... OK I'm NOT new at this but this MB seems to want to make me lose my mind. Either the screen flickers by it or the KB wont catch the input to the menu... Is it as easy as hitting the reset button on the MB?
PITA #2. BF3 LOVES being pushed with one card... as soon as I enable SLI , game loads then hang with rally bad sound... I have to restart compy.
Some of my future updates to this will come next xmas. I'm looking to get the NEXT AMD cpu. and I WILL be getting one if not two Titans.
I will also be posting some liquid acyclic pouring of a reservoir and some other ideas.
Hope you enjoy and let me know if you have any questions
