If my RMA on my board does not go as planned and they do not fix it or give me a new one, can anyone suggest a good mobo. I had the MSI eclispe x58 SLI. I hear good things about the DFI around here and the ASUS. Any suggestions.

The DFI boards are nice. I had one. I really like the modular NB cooling. I just ordered the Foxconn Blood Rage. It's a beautiful board, and it's now selling for just a bit over $250.

Your right patty. I should be able to fit a quad on the top.

My watercooling setup is going to look something like this

Should have the money in a week. If you guys have any suggestions, don't hesititate to tell me.

Why the 655? I've switched from a 655 to a 355 and changed the top on my 355 to get better results than my 655 could produce in a closed loop.

I would go with a Laing 3.2 and the XSPC top so you can save on space and it works great.
also why go with a 480 and not a smaller rad, where will that 480 fit?

N4cot1c · Apr 20, 2009

the 480 should fit under the top of the case. If that doesn't work out i'll for for the 360.

You should take some measurments, I was just looking at adding a triple or quad to the top of my lian lee, but with a koolance shrowd, i ended up going with the triple because the 4 banger was just way to friggin long...

i mean l----o----n----g

N4cot1c · Apr 20, 2009

I will measure the top shortly

N4cot1c · Apr 20, 2009

I'm just shy. 514mm. Looks like I will have to go with the triple. Do you have the Triple SV?

yea, i have several, mostly swiftech, i always loved the swiftech rads, but i need to figure out my loop, which is what you need to do.

I am running the bloodrage, so i need to cool my i7 920 and the bloodrage northie, that is all that will be in my loop, my video card is the 4 head 4850x2 2G and it dumps it's heat into the case but my case has great ventilation.

so you need to figure your loop, then figure out the space, how you think you will cool it and then how you will mount it and run the plumbing, as i saw binge wwrite in another thread, it get complicated and you have to wear many hats, so do a lot of good prep and expect lots of work to do it right

N4cot1c · Apr 20, 2009

I'm only cooling the cpu. If anything else needs to be cooled later beside GFX cards, it will be air.

I was going to get a XSPC 360.
What do you think about this pump. Good GPH but low head.

Go for good head man. Always get good head. :laugh:

N4cot1c · Apr 20, 2009

I can really only find good deals on 655's......

That plus an xspctop/xspc res top/or ek x-top rev 2

It's worth it.

N4cot1c · Apr 20, 2009

=/ still out of my range for a pump. Honestly though, I think a 655 would be good enough.

Thrackan · Apr 20, 2009

I'm still in doubt whether I should get a 350 or 355... I want silence and power.

N4cot1c · Apr 20, 2009

I can't find a backplate for the ek supreme

Keep the 655. Never buy a 350 unless you intend to mod it to be a 355. But the difference between the 655 and the 355 in a closed loop is significant.

I don't have a 655

Now I know that powerwise I should be looking at the 355, but the 350 is supposed to be dead silent...
Unless I'm able to fully control the 355's RPM, I'm afraid it might be a little too loud for my tastes.

You can put it on a fan controller.

And I use 350's with tops. Got the pumps for $40 NIB, so I wasn't passing them up.

Does the EK Supreme have a backplate? All I can find is this.

Hey,

I can buy a core i7 920 which does 21 x 190 @ 1.32v for 205 euro;s. (264USD)

however this cpu is OEM and the seller says warranty will go through him.
He's a trustable seller though with 46+ feedback

Should i buy it? I really wany a better overclocker. My Core i7 does 4Ghz @ 1.37v

Well I am gonna RMA my board to MSI and not have my rig for about 3 weeks

I dont know what to guess I can focus on my finals. What I wanted to ask what the "safe" range is the Intel's x58 chipset? I had it running at 1.20V Is that to much for the little chip?

OEM chips do not have a warranty, period.

dude this looks good, some components is just a matter of preference. I have a 655 and the pump has some serious flow. I have never owned a 355 modded like binge has, but i will tell you one thing. THe 655 is a good pump bro and I have already figured out the culprit of why my temps are not great. Its called poor performing block, this gtz is shit on i7's! that and some better fans to go with my rad. I'll eventually get around to that and show some good temps, for now im enjoying the heck out of the rig, and crunching like a mofo!!! :rockout:
