Very nice!

Thanks.

I'm quite glad at the sset up. Made sure the CPU was first, ran threw another rad (thanks Damulta!) and even after about 4 feet more tubing, the CPU temps are the same, but everything else is lower!

EnergyFX · Aug 21, 2009

What is before the CPU? Rad, res, or pump?

Chicken Patty · Aug 21, 2009

@ CS

those temps are not bad at all, and your rad is just as bad as mine man. Imma have my buddy bring the compressor over again on the weekend. This time I'm taking the rig outside. I was coughing for two weeks after the last dusting of the rig. I did it inside my damn room! :eek:

if you guys are gonna do a lot of compressed air stuff stop with the cans and get one of these...
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=65594

I got a spray nozzle and threw on a good filter and its free air and I hardly never run out....
(filter is important as compressed air can contain moisture)

maybe this is a very dumb question :laugh:

, but how does it fill up?

MKmods · Aug 21, 2009

Good question (sometimes I forget and need to be reminded not everyone has been building things for such a long time as me)

blow REALLY REALLY hard :roll:

......If that fails I take it to my local tire shop and they fill it for free whenever I need.
Any gas station or friend with a compressor can fill it too..

It lasts about as long as 50 cans of compressed air and has a ton more pressure as well. They make 10 gallon ones (what I use) and smaller ones too.

you are a genius, or we just don't think too good. That is indeed a very good idea man. I will def. do this when I have a bit of spare cash. I just got the bad news today when I cranked my a/c in the car and noticed it was cool enough to keep me almost sweat free. Usually not good, my a/c in the car was freezing!! automotive a/c is usually not a cheap fix!

I think it was 100ºf today. Crazy man, just crazy. Thank god summer is almost over!

THis looks like a good part to brag about when I lived in Alaska for 4 1/2 years. That was great! Internet bandwidth sucked... but other than that...

Dont rush it man! Even though Ohio is getting killed with hot days these past couple weeks, it's been a while since we've had a hotter than expected summer.

Naw man, I ain't. But it's something I want to take care of soon you know.

tzitzibp · Aug 21, 2009

@CS Great rig man, and the temps show the good work you did with the WC loop!

@CP, MK, EFX......... Up until last week it was 113f where i live! So, stop complaining!

ps... Great to be back! :toast:

How I have my set up is this

Res>Pump>480 Rad>CPU>120 Rad (duel fan)>Nb/sb>Mosfet1>Mosfet2>Res

Tz, how was vacation!!!!??! Glad to see you back my man.

EnFX, you trumped us all in the department of where you lived... and that look :eek:

tzitzibp · Aug 21, 2009

really nice and relaxing man!!!

still have 3 days left.... I've been travelling to work over the last week, but kept the beach house for wife and kid, as they seemed so happy. It would be selfish of me to bring them back just for my work... so I put up with driving back and forth from the seaside to work and back. Now I have my last weekend to enjoy the sea and sun!

I 'll probably start a thread with summer pics on moday! :toast:

EnergyFX · Aug 21, 2009

Well I don't live there now so now I get to be jealous of myself

Bur hey... If I were still up there I wouldn't be into modding, or at least not as much. Too many other things to do up there and shipping would be way too expensive.

Yeah, if I was up there, there is NO WAY I could be a modder.. SO damn much money, and only able maybe to get it here or there....

Wait a minute...I'm not a richie and I've got 2 ACs!! I need 2 because the first one is only 5,000 BTU which is not nearly enough for my 1 bedroom apt. So my building manager gave me the second (also 5,000 BTU) for free and that works out perfect with electricity included in my apt. rent and my rig idles at 29 C (right now running 2.9Ghz @ 1.3v) and I agree with JrRacinFan.....DON'T RUSH IT!!!!

That's right...hasn't it been a cool summer until August hit? I'm just about 100 miles north of you in London, Ontario. Cheers man!! I'm sure we'll have some scorchers well into September. :rockout:

Don't mind the need for canned air..

The thing is on wheels for crying out loud!!!!! :laugh:

Moar pics CS I love all the fans!! :toast:

Mark_Hardware · Aug 21, 2009

wtf? it was 109 here the other day, and a cpl weeks ago it was 115. If it gets below 100 we consider it cool. It usually gets down to 92 at night.
Oh yeah, and until I got a new car Wednesday, I didn't have ac in my car.

MKmods · Aug 21, 2009

I have a plan, we all need to get together and move to each others houses for the cool weather seasons.
Us southern guys need to go hang out with you northern guys during summer and when you northern guys get frozen during winter you come hang out with us southern guys.
Screw Arizona :laugh:

MKmods · Aug 21, 2009

I spend a couple years hanging out in Mexico/South America and on the way back I drove through Tucson, Phoenix and couldnt believe how hot it was, there were practically no one on the streets.

Reno can get in the 100s but it is nothing like Ariz....

skylamer · Aug 22, 2009

Good rig, awesome modding :"D

DaMulta · Aug 28, 2009
