whats the ur cpu clocked to? im guessing ur max dba is under 32 with the 12v on the yate?

 

[ai_01]

somehow it double posted... delete this one if possible please.

 

[NickS]

3.4GHz at the 'mo but I may get a Tuniq and push for 3.5 once more soon.

Nice NickS!

That is one awesome rig!

Nice cooling as well!

 

[chudley]

Looking good mate, I think you have an addiction to lapping though, that is a very good job.

 

[equk]

Nice

It looks a bit noisy tho with all those fans etc.

Some nice lapping on the Heatsink tho

 

[FarFarAway]

Most of the fans are @ 7v and as I know from my setup that's pretty damn quiet

 

[NickS]

Well air cooling sucks I can tell ya'll that.

How about I try some water in this case. Check back for updates as I progress into the endless PC abyss.

Air cooling is the shiznit if u can find a cherry CPU

Water is the shiznit if you can, OR cant.

 

[darkorb]

air cooling rox, well in my case



o btw, the sensor on my gpu for the memory is not working properly, its always stuck at 60

Coolingworks CoolRad-12T - ORDERED

Swiftech MCW6002 & LGA775 Mounting - ORDERED

Hydor L30 II Pump - ORDERED

LEFT TO GET: Tube & Tline

 

[ai_01]

im guessing u got a great deal on those parts? or got them free?

 

[NickS]

Hey now they ain't that bad. The 6002 is one of the best blocks out today, especially now that IHS' are makin' a comeback. The Hydor I got a great deal on, and the Coolingworks is a pretty good rad, bought that new @ PPC.

 

[Rastalovich]

Did u use the 12-5v trick to get u`r 7v ? or did u chuck in a resistor ?

Used the 12v-5v trick on a spare molex splitter to get 7v

Hehe..

 

[NickS]

Yay, everything is on it's way. Should be getting some parts tomorrow.

Total Costs: $86.23 + Traded TTBT for the Pump.

Conclusion? Water on the cheap = owns. My previously configured air setup would've cost $104 shipped. It consisted of a Noctua NH-12, Silverstone 120MM fan and Scythe KamaBay. Water>. This should get me better CPU temps than my old setup tbh. My old block was terrible for a CPU with an IHS plus with the way the tubing was, I had to have it rotated 90* and it only contacted with the CPU on the side where the outlet water was.. not under the jets.

 

[NickS]

OK, received some stuff

Nice stock finish. Won't need to be lapped.

The seller thought it was an MCW6002 but it turns out it's a 6000, which has 3/8" barbs. No problem. I remember someone doing this with an MCR120 radiator on a forum.. so I did it too..

More pix soon!

 

[NickS]

I feel like I'm talking to my self a bit, but whatever.. heres the final pix

Just a small little setup. Getting average temps, comparable to my old system.

@ 3.5GHz 1.48v Real I'm getting around 60/60*C WCG, and the paste hasn't settled yet.
