sw33t!

great job on the colour combo its turnin' out real nice

luvin' the fan bay mod :rockout:

Silverel · May 17, 2008

Ah. I wish I had the luxury of something with more room behind the motherboard. Here's the backside, got everything in place, and the panel closes up just fine.

working on it...

Silverel · May 17, 2008

Bad news though, putting it all back together again didn't get the rig up and running. Due diligence would tell me to take it all apart... I'm pretty sure the PSU blew out the mobo when it went though. Sucks.

I'll get some better pictures tommorrow afternoon. I needs some sleep.

Silverel · May 17, 2008

...

No really.

--POWER CORD :nutkick:

ME!--

I used the one that came with the PSU instead of the 5yr old one that I had lying around. :shadedshu

Booted right up. :ohwell:

At least that's a good thing. Who'd have thought it could be the power cord though? I mean really? That happens? :confused:

-sigh- Now I really need to sleep... Right after I install CoD4...

MKmods · May 17, 2008

lol, sleep....who needs it. for the first time in my life I am OCing and its so much fun I couldnt possibly sleep.

I actually had a bad power cord a few years ago, it took so long to figure out. Glad you got it sorted.

Silverel · May 17, 2008

Kinda makes me wonder if the Ultra still works, lol. Ah well, an upgrade is an upgrade. Better to have something brand-new and proven than trying to run an old junker with a 20-24pin adapter, a molex to PCIe adapter, and a molex to 4-pin CPU adapter. Broke it in last nite with 4 hours of CoD (thanks to Xazax), which concurrently, means that I have badly forsaken any semblance of sleep. :laugh:

Tonite will be an OC'ing, and benchmarking extravaganza. Gonna clock up my CPU to at least 3.36 like I had it before and post a whole slew of results. Lucky for me, I have two computers to do this on, so I can play a little bit o Halo on my old rig, while the new one crunches some numbers. I took a couple pictures with the lights out, but it was so dark I didn't really want to post them up. I'm really diggin' the flat cables on this modular Corsair. Makes things so much easier with a low clearance mobo tray. Kinda disappointed with it in one aspect though, seems one of the PCI-e ports got a little melted or something. :twitch:

Ah well, I'll be getting started on the Dark Tower Mod early next week... This one seems just about finished.

Silverel · Jun 11, 2008

Ah, just a few final touches, and I'm done playing with it. Added some ramsinks to the MOSFETs. There's a second revision of this board that had the sole change of a heatsink going across these, and my only option short of buying the new board was to do it myself. Which I prefer anyway. Bit of a tight fit, but they're still holding on tight now.

I also got some black SATA cables, and SATA DVD drive so I could get rid of that IDE one. Much less cluttered now. Also, with the new camera, details are a lot better. You can see the little chipset fan I added to the SB.

Really good macro on this camera... I'm so happy. I might even start posting picks of the Dark Tower mod. lol. It's been dragging on forever since all the waiting.

Not bad for an 80$ camera eh? Gotta love finding sweet deals at TigerDirect once in a great while.

DanishDevil · Jun 11, 2008

Looks awesome dude! I personally love lots of neat little things rather than one big thing like mofset cooling and cable sleeving. Looks great :toast:

steelkane · Jun 12, 2008

That's quite a bit of work your put in, with the rivets, paint, & cutting. Nice modding, I like the way it turned out.

xyzunit · Aug 30, 2008

That thing is beastly. Makes me feel unmotivated

Silverel · Feb 6, 2009

No no, it's not a zombie poke at this thread. It IS however, a very much desired hardware refresh!

My thanks go out to MKmods for the 2 HD4830's, LiNKiN for the DKA790GX, and BrooksyX for the 2 AC Accelero's!

Now, the sexy shots.

It is a good day. Now to get it all installed without killing Vista entirely, and more pics tomorrow.

DanishDevil · Feb 6, 2009

Looks sweet! I never knew how tall those Acceleros were.

phanbuey · Feb 6, 2009

those look so sweet with the S2's... nice build.

Silverel · Feb 6, 2009

Yanno... if I were a smarter bugger, I'd have backed up this drive as I was getting those cards all snazzed up...

I'll have to get this stuff together tomorrow.

RevengE · Feb 6, 2009

Nice Job man Looks Great.

Silverel · Feb 7, 2009

Vista Ultimate is a retarded sexy pimp.

I thought about all the crazy things I could have done to get this working right...

Uninstalling mobo drivers
Wiping out my ATI folder
Some 15 step process to get everything right

In the end, I said fuck it, and just threw everything in here with reckless abandon. If the shit broke, I had my stuff backed up on another drive, and it would have been a format/reinstall.

The retarded pimp came along, and bitch-smacked everything into proper working order. This is how things are supposed to work. I haven't even restarted for the first time yet, and I'm online.

Why people have issues with Vista all the time is so far beyond me... If I did this on XP, it would have had a heart attack, BSOD, shat itself, and then caught fire shortly before giving me the middle finger and pissing on my boots.

I'm going to restart now. Load back in to my desktop. Shutdown, install my second card, then come back to post some pics, and a 3dmark06 run.

Fucking retarded sexy pimp. Gotta love it.

Silverel · Feb 7, 2009

One card working so far. My 3850 scored around 8300, so its a pretty significant gain for me

CFX Enabled... I think I messed with some other settings when I set it up though. Might also be severly limited by my aging 5kBE

DRDNA · Feb 7, 2009

Very Nice work ! I see its paying off too :toast:

.......lol you should do side jobs on cases

They ship to you the case ....you ship back the pimped :pimp:

out case

Silverel · Feb 8, 2009

The 8.12's get me another 300 points at stock speeds. Gonna crank em up a little bit methinks.

Silverel · Feb 8, 2009

Alrighty. This is kinda fun actually.

Using Rivatuner for clock setting (AOD didn't work, AMD GPU clock tool didn't work), GPUz for temperature tracking, and FurMark for stress testing.

In FurMark, I'm doing 120s blocks of time in stability mode. Settings are for 1024x768 Fullscreen,No AA or post processing. Doing a visual check for artifacts in the last 30s of each run, and allowing about 30s cooldown inbetween.

So far... My first driver failure at 711gpu/996mem, seems xfire doesn't restart along with the standard drivers either. This probably has something to do with catalyst AI. In the non-working Overdrive settings, the max was 700/1000. My previous tick before that was 700/984. I think I might be stuck at 700/1000 short of a bios flash.

Silverel · Feb 8, 2009

Hell yeah.

Seems the memory OC went quite well... I really like these cards

idle at 34/42
load at 54/67

The second card is hotter because its on the bottom with less airflow (?)
Don't worry. When this rig gets moved to the Dark Tower, that'll change... hehe

Silverel · Feb 21, 2009

Got 9.2's loaded up. Stock settings seem a bit down for CFX. Gonna clock things up a bit and see if they scale better or something. I'm more in it for stability than anything, so if these start throwing weird crashes around I'll scale em back to the 8.12's I had before.

Oddities continue.

Not really sure why the lack in performance with these drivers. o.o I must be doing something wrong.

MKmods · Feb 26, 2009

I am really glad you like the cards, Beautiful work so far..
(I got my highest 3DMark06 score with those cards, trying to get the 9600s to catch up)
