I saw some charts comparing the coolers and the D15 was showing like 30 degrees cooler. I would like to overclock clock Mt current CPU. So far I haven't found stable settings...

Overlock it to, say, 4,2 GHz with some additional voltage until it runs stable. Then try to minimize the voltage needed for it to run stable, step by step by checking it with Intel Extreme Utility for example. 3770K's are good overclockers to about ~4,2 or 4,3 GHz I'd say, higher is somewhat unlikely with them, because they are not soldered.

Arrikis+9 has helped me in the past in overclocking, even then I was unstable. I just get intimidated by it.

Well you must be sure of what you're doing and what's best for you. The 3770K is a fast CPU, you can run it even without overclocking and still have a fast system.

funny how i forgot a trackball can be comfy for a HTPC, the cord is long enough to use it on the sofa ...

second in the delivery ... well i think i could attempt a de lid ... or not ... only missing Aeronaut from them now

re-working some friends builds ...

1st: no usb WLAN adapter? well Shield tablet in USB tethering can do the trick

2nd and 3rd: a Cougar MX200 is more fitting for a mATX than a NZXT Phantom ... will need a lil more work later, for now the stock heatsink is enough.

Sorry for crappy pic. The acrylic wasn't playing nice with my camera or phone. Here's the poop loop @mstenholm

Sorry about the grain, light's a bit dim for photos. I got a set of those nifty sleeved cables and I ran the Noctua fan wires under the fans. Looks a little neater. I love this case so much. You can't see the awful wire mess in the back chamber.

Man I love sexy reference coolers.

decision time leave it white and seal the primer or finish painting it all black ? white on black is so tempting.

Quick comparison between the Corsair H105 and the New H80i V2
All have the same OC and the fans controlled by PWM

The H105 with a 4.6 OC 4790K (all have the same OC)

The H80i V2 with One fan (It comes with two for a push pull)

The H80i V2 with two fans Push Pull

The new hoses are stiffer but rotate
The case also has three less intake fans. The 200mm side fan will not fit and I pulled the two top 120mm fans that were intakes. This set up is pretty close to silent. The H105 would get loud with the temps would get high. But not the H80i V2

Finally decided it was time for an upgrade past the ancient Geforce 260:

Frustratingly, the new PSU required is long enough that I can't route the cables where they're supposed to go, so instead I had to run them between the plastic front panel and the case body. Not a crisis, but it means that there isn't space to actually mount any drives in the case.

At some point the 80GB SSD has to go, but that's a future me problem.

Installed the Predator, still have to have another 8pin pcie cable made up.

Man these DIY-heatsinks on my gfx card are beautiful :toast:

Those small aluminium fins sacrificed from Intel stock heatsink, and the red big one next to VRM from Fatal1ty P67 VRM heatsink with a little modding. Attached with thermal glue.

The gfx card:

@9700 Pro That custom vrm heatsink is crazy man! I like it :rockout:

I wasnt quite happy looking at this (Wendys Nightmare)

so i changed it to this

I prefer it like this, the H100 is a very good AIO but i really think the illuminated display looks crap, especially the pic of the little man.

i also decided to conceal my GPU, i dont like the green Geforce GTX writing but i love treadplate
