I could not resist!!! what do you think here, or move it up to the bottom of the top fan maybe?

on a side note i stuck my finger in the fan twice trying to tighten the screw, lol.

If you place it on the bottom fan, would the outlet of the pump go right to the CPU block?

i would not suggest mountain mods, for the money i payed, i expected much higher quality. next build i might just go antec or corsair.

ok, had some free time today. both 280's are currently in and running strong. enough of the jibber jabber on to the pics.

here's the first sloppy loop.





cpu loop, cleaned up. big thanks to t-ski for the idea.





all put together.




all set and filling....




would have taken some pics of the cards getting put together, but was in a hurry and never thought to snap any sorry.

stay tuned for some benches...

currently at 3.8 with ht on, might try for 4.0 with ht, and oc the cards.

just had a thought, the bitspower res tops have a sponge in them, i'm not sure what the purpose(i'm assuming to reduce the splashing and movement of the water). so does anyone know what they are their for, if i remove them will i get better flow?

had trouble hitting 4, 191 (4.01) would fail but 187 (3.9) was fine. didnt wanna push voltages to much more so i called it good. was stable at 3.8 ht on with only like 1.35 v now im up to 1.4 v in the bios. here's a screenie.

I don't know about these for sure, but I had to buy an anti-cyclone part for my EK res. This might be similar. Probably wouldn't hurt to take them out, as long as you aren't getting a bunch of air in the pump afterwards...

sounds good, might try that out sometime.
did a quick oc on my gpu's, kinda cheated just read some forum posts about evga 280 overclock setting and just used one of theirs. ran 3dmark06 3 times back to back no artifacts. here's the score from my last run.

hmmmm... was sitting here looking at my rig when i noticed that there is a lil differance. i don't know how i missed it thus far, but check this out.



have u found it? good, now the explanation is odd.

the block on the bottom i bought used on a forum, the block on the top, i bought brand new from frozencpu. look once again.....did i get a refurbished block? why does the brand new one not have a void sticker to keep from opening?

Is the void sticker in a different spot on the block?

Probably just me nit-picking, but...

If you drain the loop at any point, try swapping the 90 block over the top GPU for a 45 degree barb on the block, and put it on the right side of the block. Put the middle tube on the left side of the block, and have the exit tube come off the bottom block on the right. The reason? It makes it look a little less cluttered over the GPU, and the shorter tubes and lack of a 90 will reduce your resistance a little more.

Is it possible to have the CPU loop return to the pump on the top of the res? Are the HDD's ever going to be mounted inside the case?

i tried puttin a 45 degree adapter on the top gpu, problem is the backplate interfere's with the 45 degree adapter and makes it impossible to completely screw into the block. so the only solution at that time was to 90 it.

I could put the tube into the top of the restop, but i think that would just be a pain in the ass to fill, i use the top hole for filling.

lol, yes eventually the hdd's will go inside. what im thinking of doing is mounting that cage somehow to the back panel(wich i have just not installed), between the mobo and the front rad. I should have known sticking 3 loops plus everything else was just gonna be way to cluttered, plus not puttin in the third rad gives me room for my hdd's.



as for the sticker, no don't think so. can't see it anywhere.

The solution for the 90 on the back of the card is this:

http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/big14shsiex.html

It's just an extender, and they do come in larger sizes. I have two of that size and four 38mm long ones.

For the hard drives, Mountain Mods makes some HDD brackets that will mount off your rad or 120mm fans.

was bored this afternoon, and decided to push my oc's a bit. here's some ss's of the end results.

was able to get 4.1 linx stable with ht on, idle temps 30-35 max with linx was around 70ish.

also maxed out the gpu's very happy with the performance, full load with furmark temps only hit 61 max, and they idle at mid to high 30's.




here's a 3dmark06 run.

A i7 950 @ 4,0ghz(200x20) just needs 1,28v ht on, 1,35v for 4.2 ghz ht on, i think it's high

Also use a blck of 200mhzx20 it should do that easy

i think the 950 oc's better with less volts not to mention a complete diff socket, and i believe the 9xx series were binned higher, none the less this is what this chip is capable of.

i been stackin my chips recently and i have enough for a massive overhaul. will have the money in a few days.
im gonna upgrade the mb.cpu,and ram. here's a pic of my wishlist, that i'm about to pull the trigger on.

hopefully if all goes well, i can sell my cpu, board, and ram paying for a 570, this build will continue, next on my list is modular psu, and possibly an antec 1200, stay tuned boys n girls!
