I have to agree with Slomo4shO to a degree but this made my day.

Well now I'm really torn... I 'd like to up my system performance for 5760x1080 but it seems the 690 and Titan trade blows in 2x Sli. It'd be a lot easier for me to just grab another 690 than trying for 2 titans and selling my current 690. Besides raw frame rates what did you feel to be the...

Wow, those are some amazing results. When I get the time I will contribute by swapping between the RX120 and RX240 radiators. Although, I'll only be able to test a CPU+GPU loop. Planning on reducing the amount of tubing, dropping the 120 would really help make it look cleaner.

Crazyeyes that's impressive, wasn't aware how tough the CPUs are. Been paranoid about putting a hole in the CPU and socket. Sneeky, I read a lot of threads saying people looking at i7+GTX 480 should consider 480x120 radiators. I went RX120+RX240 to avoid a major mod to my case. Glad the...

Ya, I think I've heard of that somewhere. I was under the impression that lowering the operating temperatures improves the maximum lifespan on electrical devices. With a reasonble Vcore PLL and such of course. I'd like to keep the processor for five years or longer.

Had an E8500 @ 4Ghz w/ 1.3~ Vcore for about 2 years. Still ran like brand new when I sold it. Curious how long it would have kept going.

Built this system about two months ago and I've finally settled on final OC settings. I'm considering another RX240; which requires a significant modifcation to the top of my Lian-Li case. Giving me a total of 5x120 radiator space. Is there a way to calculate how significant a tempurature...

First GPU/CPU LC Build. Comments are welcome. : ) Not sure what I want to do next or even if I want another radiator. Ideas on how I should go about installing a LC monitoring system would be appreciated.

10/10 for an extremely well thought out LC loop. I love it. : )

Got some better results off the GTX 480 after spending more time with it. Was able to slightly increase the core frequency and significantly bump up the memory with less voltage. Made a twenty minute OCCT GPU run w/ error checking. 900 Mhz is so close... but not worth going past 1.138...

Finished my all new build tonight. Started with a simple CPU loop in my Antec 300 for an E8500 and thought it time to expand. Everything went smoothly except the local metal finisher took longer than expected. So, I got to stare at all the new components for a good week before I got started...

The XSPC RX radiators are very nice. I'm using a 120 with an Antec double ball bearing fan at 2000 rpms. Can barely hear it when pulling air through the radiator inside the case. Some fans rated at similar dBA will have an annoying high pitch. Noticed this with sleeved fans usually.

Thanks for the tip. Got my NB set to 1.26 right now. I'll see what happens. EDIT: I gave the NB a push towards 1.4v with FSB at 445x9 and gave the CPU 1.25v. System still likes to not post and reset bios to default.

New E8500 OC after installing WC. Ran both large and small FFT tests. One in the picture is the large FFT. I've tried for 4GHz, but my board does not like the FSB going much higher than 400 w/ 4GB of memory installed. O-o
