Thanks for the slap, I just love seeing bench setups, they just mean BUSINESS!

 

[(FIH) The Don]

hahahaha

Just go Ln2 or something

I haven't' read much about the cogage.

 

[(FIH) The Don]

haha yeah.........not

allthough DICE would be fun, or SS

but a little too expensive for me haha

its the same as the IFX14 from thermalright afaik but for like 35€

So I'm assuming it's a cheap cooler, yet performs good? Not sure on the currency there and don't feel like pulling out my converter

 

[(FIH) The Don]

its around some of the high end coolers out there atm

thats right around 50$

Not bad considering higher end coolers are more than that.

 

[(FIH) The Don]

nope, so for a temp. cooler then ill just do that i think, its really annoying that i cant do a nice oc due to the cooler not being tightly secured to the mb

What happened to the retention mechanism though?

 

[(FIH) The Don]

no idea, oh yes it broke a few years back

and i didnt really have anything else to cool with, not even stock cooler, so this will have to do the job for another week

If it's done it for so long, sure you'll be fine.

 

[(FIH) The Don]

yup, even running at 3.4ghz atm to get some more points

time for a ghetto mod then don try a couple of large zip ties just like with the fans LOL

DON'T RECOMMEND. I did that once and i killed my board because to get it to hold on tight you have to put alot of force behind it and it will break the board.

 

[Athlonite]

Oooo K well don put up a pic of the retention bracket that you need I've a few sitting round that might fit the job

 

[Wile E]

Crappy iPhone pics of my setup. Maybe someday I'll quit being lazy and use my Rebel XTi for some quality shots. For Chicken, since he gets tight pants over bench setups.

 

[sneekypeet]

Do I spy duct tape on the pumps?

 

[Wile E]

lol. Under them. Holding oil filter boxes in place that act as spacers, on the redneck engineered platforms (made from electrical junction box cover plates), all in an effort to prevent kinking as much as possible.

And those are zip ties on the tubing, because I couldn't find any of my anti-kink coils. lol again

Never underestimate the resourcefulness of a person raised by rednecks.

 

[sneekypeet]

ahh they are cover plates, now I got it. I knew there was some garage engineering going on, but hell you got 3-4 ghetto mods working in sync. Nice creative solutions!

 

[Wile E]

Yeah, I haven't figured out what I can fabricate to hold the pumps to make it more appealing. As soon as I figure something out, an assortment of Bitspower rotaries should be able to clean up the tubing nicely.
