how do you remove the 24pin?

Pin Remover. Nifty little device

 

[Chicken Patty]

Yeah but not individually like you.

Yeah but not individually like you.

It looks cool individually, but I tell you I was on it the whole day, have several cuts in my hand and fingers, a broken nail, I burn myself several times and my room smells like burnt plastic. No pain no gain lol.

 

[Chicken Patty]

It does but I haven't done the PSU, only certain wires and stuff. The PSU I'm going to get the extensions and sleeve them. Actually PPCS already has them done.

Would you believe that. I had everything ready. I hooked up all the connections. I pressed the power switch. And - nothing. Not a buzz is heard. So I of course suspect my PSU gone wrong. Lucky for me, the whole rig draws a mere 300W of power, so I quickly hooked up my spare 400W PSU... and there. It works. So I spent a whole day working on a PSU that now doesn't work. Great.

So what I am going to do now is.
1. Run the rig with that 400W PSU for now
2. Take out the 1000W PSU and inspect it. Its possible that some connections have come lose or something. It didn't blow up and nothing as been fried. At least thats my current info.
3. Order another PSU (because I use that 400W PSU as a testing PSU and for occasions such as this one), DON'T sleeve that and just leave it like that.
4. Put the 1000W PSU aside for what it really was intended to power: The Quadfather.

Man I'm pissed right now.

I would be to after your hard work in sleeving
Sorry to hear that bro~

Haha I thought of that yeah. But the rig is still in my room. In fact, I'm installing Win7 on it right now.According to the onboard led thing of the evga board, the temps are 29c, so at least the cooling setup works as anticipated.

I changed my plans tho. This setup won't remain in this case. But seeing as I'll be serving the military till august from march on, I'll keep that 400W PSU in that rig. And in august I shall look where this is going. For now its okay.

ah the good ol swiss military. Crazy sig sauer wielding ba***rds

I gotta go as long as it lasts. There are crazy people wanting to get rid of the military here. I say BAH! Those guys not serving are weaklings (except of course those who can't serve for a good reason), nobody wants a nation full of weaklings. But ynyway, off topic.

I'm typing on my new rig now I just wished the fan controller would work But 30c CPU temp passively cooled is not bad lol.

Oh and I just decided to put all the hardware back in the Cosmos case. More room. Because the water loop isn't exactly good with the rad externally... So what I'm gonna do is but the HTPC/Cruncher stuff in that Fractal case. Its not as I wanted, but yeah... Its the best to do.

Did you shorten the cables or something? I know some CPU's will go into some sort of safe mode or something. Dude if you want the look but not actually want to sleeve, it's an expensive alternative, but here you go:

No didn't shorten anything, nor removed a connector. I gues some pins just came loose and won't plug in correctly.

Dude are you trying to ruin me?

ruin you? You mean the link?

I would inspect the power supply bro, you can be amazed at how something so simple can detain things from working bro.

Yes the link Sure I'm inspecting it. I'm not gonna throw a 350 bucks PSU away this easily.

Good. Hopefully it's something fixable

seriously... there's few things in life that piss me off more than when I break something I was really excited about.

Off topic: the only reason I say that is that I used to live in montagnola... and one time we were in one of the neighboring villages having a beer, when the town decided to have a "vote". Yeah... there were a bunch of people with guns. They were'nt loaded but there were a few guys with some pretty awesome looking gear.

You got a Simular Hardware setup as you got.
Running my q9550 at 4.0Ghz 24/7
2x GTX 260s overclocked to 600 core, 1400 shaders, 1150 memory
But your water cooled to the extreme, im just using a modded H50 with my q9550 getting load temps of 48-50c.

those are phenomenal temps for a H50 on a Q

my specs are old :/ gotta fix em... i actually traded the Q9650 for this case and got an i5 setup with the Asus p7p55 supercomputer board (dual x16 2.0 slots ftw) three days ago.

got the i5 chugging at 4.0, 200 bclk and 1600Mhz ddr. It runs linpack at about 64ish at 1200RPM on the fans - which I think is OK for i5 and south florida. Aircooling anything hot down here is pretty suicidal.

Honestly, the cards were massively bottlenecked by the old board. :shadedshu my fps in farcry 2 went from 56 avg to 87 avg when going from the Q at 3.8ghz to this same settings ranch benchie.

And GTA IV doesnt stutter at all, even maxed out... it used to hit 24fps in some areas - now its smooth as butter. I havent even tried other games yet bc of work, but i5 is ludicrous speed.
