Project Crossfire Times 2!

domy85 · Apr 1, 2008

Look in my system specs for more details.

I am awaiting my 2 ATI Asus 3870x2's with their EK water blocks and PC and Power Cooling 750watt psu. Oh and also my mushkin XP2-9200 from RMA. Will have the system complete by mid/late next week with all the cable management etc.

Any comments would be great, negative ones wouldnt be

Ideas I always welcome for little mod upgrades on the case etc.

Dont mind the drill bits in the hose, its plugging it so the water doesnt escape

Another pic i forgot

ShadowFold · Apr 1, 2008

You gotta get pics with two 3870X2's in Crossfire I always wanted to see that

Good luck with the water cooling. The 3000's are great overclockers!

I will definetly post pics when i get the vid cards and psu in the case this thursday evening

I wish I had ur hardware, Nice job!

Paint the inside of that case! It's too sexy to leave bare metal! Rustoleum works great on the metal, Krylon Fusion and/or vinyl dye take care of the plastic. Check out my sig for ideas of what you can do the Armor.

Interesting, I dont have the time with work to disassemble it fully and do that right now, seems like a winter project definetly, I will prob do it black. Black on black = sexy

Thanks for the idea!

P.S When I do that, Thats when I will upgrade my water cooling system to swiftech since it will be all apart.

Huge Problem, ill post more pics later but now i need help, those screws hold the heatsinks on on those 2 cross metal things are so small not even this teny tiny screw driver i have fits it and i dunno what to do, it just wont grab enough threat on the screw to turn... i tried pushing a little but no go!

domy85 · Apr 4, 2008

Got one! yippe

ShadowFold · Apr 4, 2008

Have you tried a finger nail clipper thing?

domy85 · Apr 4, 2008

didnt even think of that, nice. I just got done applying thermal grease and cutting out millions of peices of thermaltape for one card now assembled... wow time consuming. Its hard not to bend the pvc while tightening even a little. Card weighs a ton!

ShadowFold · Apr 4, 2008

Haha I bet, so im assuming you got the watercooling stuff installed on them?

You need a better screwdriver!

im excited to see these cards! I just did my 3870 crossfire rig with EK water blocks!! It was tough but alot of fun!

I highly highly recommend the swiftech system, I have a swiftech pump and CPU block, and swiftech radiators! It is real nice

domy85 · Apr 4, 2008

Cards are in, now putting psu in, another hour or so....

ShadowFold · Apr 4, 2008

Have any pics

Apocolypse007 · Apr 4, 2008

looks nice. Im jealous of hardware. i want to see how high you can clock those cards with that cooling

domy85 · Apr 4, 2008

Ok so, im not posting any 3dmark scores untill i get my mushkin ram in replace of this geil 800mhz stuff

then i can oc my cpu 1000mhz and then ill oc my video cards. Im resizing pics, gona be a few.

domy85 · Apr 4, 2008

Ok, wiring and zippy ties i used are all temporary. I just wanted my pc running

I will keep you all posted with 3dmark scores next week and cable cleanup etc, or if im feeling happy and want to oc my video cards, tonight maybe.

To be honest, it looks like crap.... in a 3dmark test i did, the temps raised maybe 2 degrees at the most.

The cards idle at 40c

OHH come on!!!! give us 1 run! even if its stock, Id like to see what u can do with that!!

I have seen people getting 900 on the core, pretty easy, I bet with two running 875-900 youll score huge!

domy85 · Apr 4, 2008

What program are you using to OC them. Ill download it, oc the cards and run a 3dmark for ya

domy85 · Apr 4, 2008

GPU-Z-1.8. I can select 4 cores, but says crossfire disabled, and 2 of the cores are at 825/901 and 2 of the cores are at 411/450 which is the 2d settings when not playing 3d games. Why is that? What oc tool can i use? ati tool wont see my card and riva tuner wont work either..

How do i know both cards are working?

Oh and my physics card wont fit cause of the ram heatsinks on top of the video card where the pci slot is, gona have to buy a small low profile fan and get rid of the huge heatsink fan thats on it sadly...

The system looks great especially those EK X2 blocks. You should upgrade your rads and pump so you can get the most potential out of your system :toast:
