top slot on mine is dead

i forgot about that. If it wasn't that would score nice

 

[cdawall]

i will see oif i can resurrect it maybe its something silly

 

[freaksavior]

I love those temps

 

[cdawall]

mines sitting about the same i tihnk you may still have some air in your loop

Freak,

This may come a bit late, but I thought I'd just add my $.02 about where to place the Radiators in the loop.

First some beginning statements:

1. A radiator removes a certain amount of heat. The amount is proportional (somewhat) to the temperature differential between the coolant and ambiant temperature. The greater the difference, the more heat that is removed from the system.

2. The purpose of the cooling system is to remove as much heat from the system as possible. This ensures that the temperature entering the water block is always at a minimum.

3. Minimizing the temperature going into the water block does not mean that the minimum temperature in the cooling loop is where the water enters the water block.



....

I was trying to make the argument that you did it wrong and should have both radiators after the water block. While I was typing that I realized you've done it right.

So you send warmer water to the pump than you could, but the pump increases the temperature differential between the coolant and ambiant (a slight but noticeable amount). This increase in the differential doesn't really matter since more heat is taken out by the radiator than if it were before the pump.


The only reason I can think of to put both radiators before the pump would be if the pump's efficiency is affected by it's operating temperature. If it works better (in a statistically significant way) with colder coolant, then you should put both Radiators before it. Otherwise it doesn't matter.



Anyone disagree?

Gotta Love water guys!

 

[freaksavior]

nice does mine look about right?

 

[cdawall]

not until you hit 4ghz it doesn't

 

[Cold Storm]

yeah, it does look right man.

 

[cdawall]

nope still not at 4ghz lol but he cant get 3.6@1.6v

hi guys

idk what this thread is all about but the forum seems right and this thread has lots of posts by people who seem to know their stuff. so i have a quick question. i would hate to make another thread about it, so i'll ask itt

i was messing around in my cases today switching PS's and when putting my vid card back in, the bracket on the card got caught between a couple of transistor / resistor things on the mobo and bent one down pretty good. about halfway, i think.

i was like "onoes" but bent it back up. and it stayed in place, although its kind of loose / unstable. everything is fine but for future reference i'm wondering if this thing were to break off at some point can my mobo do without it, perhaps? i mean i know everything on the mobo probably has a purpose, but might some things be unnecessary nonetheless? just want to know in case it does come off one day and it still works if i need to be concerned?

and if it comes off and the mobo doesn't work are these things usually easy / simple fixes? cheap to do or expensive? i'm not skilled at soldering and things so i would most likely have to take it somewhere. i'm going to be very careful when changing out GPU's from now on, but one good tap on this transistor thing and you never know? i just want to know kind of what to expect

thanks guys. hope you don't mind me intruding on this thread. w/e it is

you should take some pictures and create a new thread, i think. anyway these things are usually easy to solder.

back to freak's and cda's build, really good job!
grats

 

[ChromeDome]

ok thanks its not really pic worthy, though. and now that the card is back in i'm not going to mess with it to take a pic. i might knock it loose or something

when i change my vid card in a few months or so i'll go ahead and do that

thanks for the advice. if it breaks....i'll certainly make a thread

 

[Cold Storm]

nope still not at 4ghz lol but he cant get 3.6@1.6v

I believe that is board holding back... what Multi and so forth?

 

[cdawall]

hehe his DFI X48 holding him back haha wonder if my 780i would do better

 

[freaksavior]

seriously? how would my dfi be holding me back?

 

[erocker]

I don't think it is. You have some settings we can see?

 

[Cold Storm]

Well, Erocker, I say it because of the fact that it's taking so much to just even hit 3.6.... But, you do have a point in getting Freak to show us his settings in bios... Do that, and I know ether, Erocker, or I'll try and get Sneeky in here to help with that...
I would talk with Tatty.... He did it with a DDR3 board... but still a good look... But, Erocker you got me with my think on your think. lol

 

[freaksavior]

To be 1000% honest, i dont understand the bios of the dfi

 

[Cold Storm]

That says it all.. Not saying your bad at anything... Sh1t, it took me a month or so to even understand the Blood Iron... That was my first board I ever oc'ed...
I believe with that Rocker and others can get ya hitting that over 4ghz!

 

[sneekypeet]

To be 1000% honest, i dont understand the bios of the dfi

hit me up on MSN if you'd like...be more than happy to help ya out!

 

[freaksavior]

hit me up on MSN if you'd like...be more than happy to help ya out!

I will

 

[cdawall]

maybe i should come over and oc your comp after i get my new parts installed 780i and PSU showed up today

 

[freaksavior]

Done as of 9/01

 

[Odin Eidolon]

awesome! how did you modify the sunbeam rheobus extreme to fit red leds? there is a discussion somewhere in the forum, but noone succeeded in doing it, its quite difficult to do
