Love that P180+, I have that case its so sweet.

Can you believe my 1kW ProXtream fits inside that PSU housing.

I got a give it up, that build would be my ideal setup right now. Nice dude:toast:

(FIH) The Don

Dec 20, 2009, 04:34 AM

its an p193, but they all look the same on the inside :pimp:

its a really nice rig hes got, i will do something similar next year, jan/feb

and if i can get my hands on a classe i will def. buy one. :roll:

just to see if its just as good as people say it is

yeah there can be some HUGE PSU's in there i found out, there is like 2-3 inches clearence above the PSU, its insane,

3dsage

Dec 20, 2009, 04:39 AM

Yes, they do look the same inside.
theres plenty of space for some of the bigger 1kW + PSU's , my P180 has a 120mm fan mounted between the PSU and HD rack, thats how I kind of figured it wasnt a 180.

BTW I only got it cause my brother got one, he called me over an showed me it. I was like this is my next case, and I got it.

Keeps things nice and cool, plus those tri-cools are a nice bonus.

but damn, i can easily fit the 5970 inside, but this is not a triple gpu case, there is no room at the bottom pci-e slot haha

Yeah you run out of real estate at the bottom, also not that great for water cooling those holes arent positioned that well.

But the H50 Looks good in there:toast:

Dec 20, 2009, 04:49 AM

haha we had to do some minor modding to the sidepanel cause it could not get on because of 2 screws from the H50 så vi had to cut of 2 small pieces of the sidepanel, where it bends around to the back, so you wont see it anyways

As in it gets to warm for the cpu itself, or it gets too warm for you?

If the answer is it gets too warm for you, switching to water isn't going to help. You are still dumping x watts of heat into the air. It's just that it will be coming from your rad instead of your heatsink. Switching to water doesn't change the amount of heat the cpu puts out, just how fast you can move that heat into the air.

The ambient temp is usually to warm for the true to keep up because somebody we know gets cold to fast.

i made other experiences, during the last summer. but i wouldnt wanna risk a discussion, my head would start to smoke, because i would have to use english words, i may forgot:o

i just can say: the bigger the rad, the lower the ambients were for me, even if it was only 2 degrees.
doesnt the air temperature, coming out of the rad, is dependant on the water temperature of the loop?:)

The water temp depends on the cpu wattage, which doesn't change at the same settings. The cpu still puts out the same heat whether water or air cooled.

Now, the more airflow provided by the xtra fans on a bigger rad may help to move more air, and push some of the heat out of the room. But seal the room, and both the air cooled setup and the water setup will make the room just as hot.

Doesn't matter tho, he was talking about the TRUE getting heat soaked, and not being able to keep the cpu cool.

to me its more about looks then temps. lapping the CPU and heatsink makes it look better and gives a nice little drop in temps.

i have some laying around i think,

should i use superglue mixed with MX2 or what? :D

simple UHU, cardboard glue, something elastic and weak, should be sufficient... dont mix it ( i havent tried that, but should work too), just put a little drop ( like a small screwhead) on 2-4 sides, then add a drop of mx2, not too much. put on the spreaders. wait for half an hour, to an hour, to let it dry completely.
i get VERY good ram temps on my 8800gt with this kind of mod;)

EDIT: dont use superglue, i dont know how permanent this will get... you may risk ripping the IC off, during Removal
be careful, when applying mosfet sinks, so they dont short something out

Jan 1, 2010, 04:26 AM

They have two issues, the optical reciever was shite in the first releases. I was lucky and got one that was returned to Sony durring the class action lawsuit that replaced the bad chip. Other than that it tends to hate memory sticks and needs some love from time to time to get it fully functional;)

Yeah, my MM case is.. lol.. I got some Plexi-Clean and it cleans up all the finger prints! Wax didn't do a thing to prevent it..

As for the detail with the BW. Your taking out all the color of the object, so if there was any "reflection" due to lighting, it's taken away. Or, anything else that would refract the image.

Jan 1, 2010, 04:08 PM

I took of heatsinks that were silver epoxied down, as you can see SB came off no problem, just left some silver behind, how ever I didn't realise that the NB was bare, so when I applied pressure to pry the frozen heatsink off the peasure wasn.t what I thought I literally shattered the chip.

Half was stuck to the NB heatsink the other is what you see.

Really gutted when I broke it!

Still am, but learning experience and all that.

Jan 1, 2010, 04:11 PM

Jan 1, 2010, 04:18 PM

I'm back on my old P5Q3, think I might hold on to it for a bit, grown attached to it, as well as having one of the few with no bios issues.

Performs like a top end board even though it isn't ^_^

Managed to get another uploaded of the NB
