Your PC ATM

[MT Alex]

Moved on to something new, limited by the motherboard I got for $60

I wondered what you had going on when I saw you playing BC2 on Steam. I figured you must have gotten your groove back.

This guy just cracks me up, BTW.

The board is meant more for i3 chips with integrated video, and has limited voltage options. I'm still just barely over stock volts, and am bclk limited, but that's OK. I'll buy a "real" board later, and an i3 655k for this, and my son will use it. Christmas is coming very soon...

And yeah, Alex...I must game.


I'll play with a few 1156 boards/cpus, I think. I can bench @ over 200bclk, but it's not stable enough for my liking.

Did your 5870 fit into it? I didn't notice it in your Weapons Grade thread. Is that black hose some type of automotive part?

Yes, the 5870 is in there. The coolant tubing is 1/4" neoprene. These pics are for the guy that wanted to see "guts".

dude...look at one of the dominators.....its way off

Yeah, I saw that during the fitting after I took the pic...the 24-pin connector had it in a bind. I took care of that.

 

[(FIH) The Don]

ah np then,

just if you didnt do something about it , it might get unstable or something i guess

 

[Deleted member 74752]

Probably not, but it bugged me when I saw it. I've had video cards skewed much worse on the torture rack with no problems, but I really should secure them I know (lazy sometimes).

Interested in trading the chip and board for the x3 720 and ASRock 785G board with 4GB of OCZ Gold Series?

 

[Deleted member 74752]

If messing with the 1156 platform you won't go wrong with any of the Gigabyte mb's.

Do they come in black or white?

next gen GB boards will be black

LOL! i could have figured that! i may start selling this setup and try to build a P55 with a Xeon Quad or something along the lines of that

 

[Deleted member 74752]

I know, they are double fugly but they work so well.

 

[cadaveca]

I know, they are double fugly but they work so well.

Yeah, but seriously...I care more about looks these days, than overclocking, 100%. To be completely honest, that small overclock is more than enough for me to game @ 60FPS+, and is quite noticibly faster than my Phenom 965 @ 3.6ghz.

But, I must say, part of that might be a bit of placebo effect, after spending a few days on the Celeron. But...I have noticed about 10% more FPS in the games I have tried so far.

Anyway, after all the issues I had with my 5870's, it was perfect timing to start with new stuff, as XFX sent me a brand new card, and even though it's non-reference, I kinda like it more than the other cards I have had. I'll have to snap some pics of the rig and post 'em.

 

[[H]@RD5TUFF]

so....it seems like all the gtx-4xx cards i had so far cant stand the heat from folding 24/7, first the 465 died, currently under RMA, and now my 470 took a dump this morning

but luckily i got a very good friend who upgrades alot, and he had a gtx-285 laying that he didnt use

yes i should get off my lazy ass and make the rig look cleaner

I have 3 470's folding, 1 24/7 and 2 16'ish hours a day this may to be a ventilation issue on your part, as none of mine have had a problem with 5 months of use and ownership.

Although all 3 of mine have the high flow bracket and the back plate, and yeah they do make a huge difference!

Here are some pics of Bohemoth after I cleaned up the cables.













Still haven't put in the custom water cooling setup I started 3 years ago.
I still need to buy a radiator, drain port, GPU block and 1/4 barbs.
I have everything else though. Been lazy and always find other ways to spend
my money. LOL.

 

[Chicken Patty]

Can't see the pic...

Yeah they were acting funny, but they are there now, LOL.

Rig looks hella clean bro. Now you just need a nice heatsink/fan to go with it and voila. Unless you get that water cooling setup going after so long

Thanks!! LOL, yeah been thinking of getting a nice heatsink but then I
think to myself that I am almost there with the water cooling setup, LOL.
I need to do something though.

How are you planning to water cool that case, like the placement of the components? What you thinking?

Kind of complicated but here is a example. The reservoir has a fill port but was thinking of putting in another. I still dont know where to put in the drain port. I have a blow hole on top
big enough for the reservoir to fit but I have to do some customizing with plexiglass so I can mount it up there like that. It is a task but it is do-able.

 

[wolf]

I like the concept TSX420J, keep the loop simple, I think you'll want at least a 120x240mm rad for that job, more is always better.

 

[Chicken Patty]

Why don't you find a way to mount it up in your drive bays? You can still pretty much run the loop the same way.

Oh, because the fill port on the reservoir is easier access and fill than if I were to put it in a drive bay. Sorry, forgot to mention that.
