Water Loop Idea

[Knight091]

Sound like you shouldn't even be mentioning it... shhh. Sounds intense.

Speaking of shhh... the pump is completely silent even at max flow. I only hear it if a bubble makes it through the res

I should check what size drill and thread I have, but it over bored out the stock barbs and holes by quite a bit. I thought it was G1/4. I bought myself a nice drill press on Criagslist just for that project lol.

Na I can talk about it. The computer is not a secret. Well that is great the pump is quiet. I want a quiet computer.


Here in Jax underground their is a internet hub that runs the entire east coast of the USA. It is underground because no hurricane can get it. It is also so monitored if birds land around it they know about it. The ground has motion systems in it. The building is a building I would go to if the Zombies came.... The battery back up rooms are so charged they have a sign above each door that you have to take your ammo and guns off. The room can set off your ammo. Also when you walk in the bat rooms your hair stands up...... ya we are talking about a state of the art building and the computer knows everything you do from what room your in etc. That makes me think of the RED QUEEN in the Resident Evil movies running the building...

I didn't think it was possible, but that sounds worse than the TSA

Really, though that's pretty crazy, I wonder why the backup rooms have so much EMF?

The TSA is a joke. Lol

Yea, pretty much!

I almost got to taking a pic of my pump/res last night then got a call from an old friend so after that it was off to bed. I'll try tonight or this weekend.

That would be cool. I got this new pump because my other old one was acting up before I took a part my old computer. It was making clicking clicking noises and that would not be a good thing.

Makes no sense to me as to why you want hot air going in to the top radiator? You want the radiator to suck in cooler air from the outside to cool down the radiator. Use a different fan to get rid of the heat not your radiator...

Also you need to be sure that the fluid goes from laminar to turbulent when it arrives at the CPU or GPU that you want to cool. This can be done by simple adding a little peg or something of that nature right before the fluid hits the CPU or GPU block.

I finished both water blocks for the GTX 690s. It took me 20min per card to put each water block on. More to come next week.

Here's the pump and res in a HAF 932 (the original HAF!), the pump or res doesn't interfere with anything.

Here's the overheat kill switch gizmo, cannibalized from a Koolance. This came from the first w/c system I bought back in 2003 or so:

It's hooked to the power header on the MB and will short it (like holding the power button) to shut down.

That looks cool. What is the white and grey hose part right before the Rez?

It's a high flow disconnect, so I can take out the CPU loop without draining the system. Doesn't work that great, almost always spill fluid.

Ya that does not sound safe...at all.

 

[radrok]

Koolance new QD3s do not spill anything if you are looking for quick disconnects

Maybe 1 drop, that's all.

 

[Knight091]

Here is my computer so far. I am going to fill the loop and start her up soon..

Nicely done though it is a shame that those XSPC blocks aren't being shown as they should...

Maybe when they'll release a 900d with reverse motherboard tray

Please do leak test atleast 6 hours!!!

O they will be just fine...I still have to add the 4 red LEDs and make them glow red...hehehe

Which brand are those extensions? They are shiny lol.

I'm in the process of sleeving my PSU but it will probably take forever and I'll use some extension in the meanwhile.

I got hem off Amazon. I am willing to pay for someone to sleeve my cables. You can get a PSU fully sleeved from the site I got all my water cooling from. They also give you a choice in wire color and more www.Performance-PCs.com

The wires are made by NZXT. They are great and look and feel like a pro did them.

I have been trying to get to 5.0 GHz with my computer but it does not boot. I do not know if it is the ram being the problem or the CPU. The ram does not seam to like to run faster that 1866MHz. I was messing around with ram timings but nothing seams to work. I give the CPU enough power but does not seam to help. Any ideas?

 

[radrok]

Does it boot at 4.9Ghz? Try turning off HT.

 

[Knight091]

No it will not boot at 4.9GHz. The fastest boot is 4.7GHz after that nothing.

 

[radrok]

How much voltage were you using?

Usually not booting means the voltage isn't enough.

 

[Knight091]

I was giving it 1.54-1.57.

 

[radrok]

That's a crapload of voltage man, have you tried disabling C states and hyperthreading just to see if it boots?

No I have not yet. I will try that. Thinking the 3930K would be a much better CPU to have...

Do you think it is worth getting a 3930 CPU?

Have you considered a delid?

Those volts are scary man! You've hit a wall, about the same as I did with my 3750K. Here's my results for stability:
4.4Ghz @ 1.19v
4.5Ghz @ 1.21v
4.6Ghz @ 1.25v
4.7Ghz @ 1.36v
4.8Ghz @ 1.50v (Hot!)
4.9Ghz @ 1.50v (Not stable in Prime and really hot, not moving up in voltage)

... notice a pattern? To go from 4.5 Ghz to 4.6Ghz only required a +0.05v increase, then +0.10v increase to get to 4.7Ghz. Then +0.15v to go from there to 4.8Ghz.

H20 vs Air? Not much of a difference other then temps.

If it's sheer overclock, the 3930 may or may not get you to 4.9 or 5.0 Ghz.

You tried a de-lid?

 

[radrok]

Have you considered a delid?

SB-E uses fluxless solder, you can't delid it!

No I have not yet. I will try that. Thinking the 3930K would be a much better CPU to have...

Do you think it is worth getting a 3930 CPU?

It's just a lottery, doesn't grant you a higher overlock going from 3820 to 3930k.

As I told in another thread I sampled two 3930k. One couldn't do 4,8Ghz even with 1.5v.

The one I have now does 5,3 Ghz @ 1.52v-1.55v
