So my journey for better performance begins now.For starters i will rip both my rigs appart and resample things.However first rig will be running as fast as possible,maybe 1-2 hours time,but 2nd rig i will have to do some testing as it is my first install of wc-loop,maybe 24 hours needed for that.Fortunately Kup has some new gearto hold ppd,as i will drop again this week too.
happy folding guys,se you in 24(if lucky)
Well 2nd rig up and running again
And it was fun doing this upgrade
It doesnt come cheap done properly,and its time-consuming.Reading stuff, watching rewievs and Toms videos several times,thanks again to Tom
Now i will go and get some sleep.Close to 27h on this job.
Well 2nd rig up and running again,but i think i lost in the chip-lottery with the 2nd i7-950.Had to increase volts alot,compared to the other i7.Both at 4.2ghz,but first is 1.312v and 2nd 1.344v,but temps are way lower now,peaks at 66c when folding all 8 threads,and if im lucky i can finish wu2684 just in time for bonuspoints.
And it was fun doing this upgrade,as it is my 1st wc-loop.My back is sore,had to turn the rig 8-10 times(lost count after 4th turnover) to get rid of air-bubbles, and i skimmed foam in watertank aswell,i thought i was doing something wrong as it was all milky and foggy for starters,but now its all clear and shiny. Waterpump was on for 6hours to test for leaks and air in system before i started the rig and "tweaked" bios.

Do you have pics of your rig yet? I'm all set to start my first wc project as well. I want to finish up a couple more projects around the house first, then I'm set to order. What parts did you end up with?

What about using distilled with an additive? Maybe a silver coil or two. I think that's what I'm going to do.

cheers mate wont be too long till im back
gonna be using mayhem dyes ultra pure coolant (0TDS) with a kill coil
Parts i used:
cpu-block is an aquacomputer cuplex kryos hf
northbridge-block is an ek-nb/sb-5 acetal
rad phobya g-changer 360 rev 1.2
waterpump ek-dcp 4.0 with ek-reservoir combo dcp 4.0
fittings d-tek 1/4 bspp(G1/4)-1/2(12mm)
hose masterkleer 7/16"(15,9/11,1mm) and normal hoseclamps
fluid 1x feser one uv-blue+7liters of destilled water
fans 3x arctic cooling f12 connected to 3 pin quad-split
I have ordered a lamptron fancontroller fc-2,it handles up to 45w a channel,waterpump is only 18w ,and a nzxt 200mm topfan aswell.
Running full tilt on waterpump and fans isnt needed yet.
I am very happy with this build
Hope you´ll find time and money to build your own wc-loop
7 liters of destilled water i used for rinse rad and parts.
