Your PC ATM

[erocker]

Honestly, with new cards coming at the end of the year, I don't think I'm going to bother putting the 2nd card under water unless I can find a really good deal on a block. New pump is on the way for my CPU.

Nice nice

Hard to find a matching block since they were replaced by the "circle" version and DOM won't sell me his.

This guy had one in May, but who knows?

Im pretty sure I saw one of those on FrozenCPU last night. I think.

EDIT: Nevermind, it was the DCII blocks.

I am undervolting the shit out of this xeon. I am down to .888v (-.14 offset) and its still passing IBT on very high.

edit: finally crashed at -.190v off set, got to the 3rd loop of standard IBT and rebooted.

I am running -.165v offset 20 loops of IBT Max. I think if it passes that I am golden.

Back up and running! Local shop had either a stock-ish cooler or this one:

Now to try the new drivers and CrossFire.

Looks great BUT were is the CPU cooling? Your board is made for water cooling.....>_<

is it easy to watercool ur pc? I always wanted to do it, but would only use air cooler in case of bracket leakage. I think if I considerded the first time I would pay somooen to do it so Its under warranty and I can have peace of mind. and then if that build worked out after say 3-6 months then I could easily do it myself, but what do you think?

My "expert" opinion is that after 5-6 years of heating up and cooling down the PCB slowly warped, then came in contact with a part of the motor. Something shorted out... burning..burning... erocker's playing a game and smells bad burny stuff, see's smoke! Turns off computer. The PSU is fine since it didn't notice that the pump was burning, it just kept feeding it voltage like a good little PSU should.



Yarr harr! Curse of the 900D!

looks like water cooling people should add smoke detectors to their things to put in XD


not sure how PCBs can warp from thermal stress XD

Went to Best Buy today for some DVDs and walked away with a reference GTX 660ti.
I have to say that I am completely impressed by the packaging of the card. The black and green box was just so attractive I couldnt resist.

A couple money shots now that I finished my sleeving, although it looks like I'll have to work on my hdd fan, those stick out like a sore thumb. I put it in as an experiment, but it works so well it became permanent.

What is the v8? Looks similar to the top panel of a v8 cooler...?

That tubing looks really good in your case!

Thanks. It's what all the cool kids are using these days

Almost time to clean for dust again

 

[theonedub]

Prodigy had been sitting empty for a while, went ahead and put some hardware into it for s&g's. Selling it unless I find a good reason to keep it around- maybe if I find a cheap 660 to play around with.

 

[HammerON]

Nice rig

 

[Mussels]

thats a sexy little box

White and black theme with minimally visible cables ftw

Cleaned up my PhenomII

Temp reduction of 4*C on the CPU, must have helped a lot

The drive cage in the PhenomII's Antec 300 Two case was cut out a few months ago to accomodate an H100i. I added back a silverstone brand drive cage that screws into the front panel's fan screws along with some zip tie reinforcements.

I cleaned the dust off the front filters after that photo above.

Really starting to think of the 300 as a "little" pc because I am so used to my cosmos now LOL
