My Project Log:

[Cold Storm]

Ambient temp is about 28c.

Temps for 4ghz since I'm still playing around

At stock, Core 3 is very close to Ambient temp.

Thanks man. I can't wait to water cool this board, and get these batteries charged for more pictures!

looking very good CS, man all you need is some UV cathodes and some nice tubing or coolant But I love the build man, hard work has paid off!

Well, the black UV tubing will be coming in probably Tuesday.. I'm not going to do coolant this time because i saw that it did to my Dtek block.. Also, how the res is going to be.. No need.

As for the cathodes... Their in a box, ready for me to put it all together.. I need to get to stepping and rewire the switches so I can light it all up! But, I'll do that once I take the whole thing apart for the final time!

Yeah, hard work pays off... Worst part... I'm not even finished and all ready thinking of the next build!

CA, glad to see your on again! I hope all is well. Thanks for the words.

Update of sorts.

Everything is shipped and should be here tomorrow. I was trying for it all to get here today, since I ordered it Saturday... But, I guess they have a different time limit for shipping out on Saturday.. Which is also good on the part that work called me in to work today... Bad part... I fell asleep finally 45m'ish before they called.. God, I hate not being able to sleep because of thoughts..

Oh tell me about it man.. The worst part is that now I can't get my next build out of my head.. I need to go and grab some more paper since I'm almost out of it due out it all!!

 

[EnergyFX]

Me three. CS... you're not the only one keeping Performance-PCs in business right now. I've placed a couple more orders lately too... never under $150. I think my next build is going to be involve popsicle sticks and straws. This hobby is expensive!

To think... I used to say my '72 Firebird was a money pit.

Man, your right on that... thinking your car was teh root to your money issues.. Now it's the dang computer! Oh well, it keeps you out of trouble and tied down... That's how I look at it.

 

[Mark_Hardware]

My money pit is all these damn kids I keep having.....

 

[Cold Storm]

lol.. I am kid less but not nephew/niece less....lol... That will happen way down the road! My dad was 28 when he had me.. lol

 

[MKmods]

lol, whatever you do put it off as long as possible....Especially if there are other kids around to enjoy.
(best thing about other peoples kids is being able to give them back after you have reached your limits)

I just got $50 worth of molex plugs from PerformancePCs.. Its amazing there is no other computer store that has the multi colored connectors and gold tipped pins like them.

If you guys know of any please share...

 

[Cold Storm]

MMMMmmm, its good to see a "Techpower Up!" review stamp on it!


Well, some bad news.. lol.. I ordered a pump top... I must of been high when I ordered it.. I ordered a DDC top instead of a D5 style top... My god I can't believe I did that.. Almost want to buy a pump for it now..

 

[MKmods]

what top did you get?

and is that tubing REALLY UV?(just in case if not and you would rather have UV dont chop it up and sell it to me)

Ek-DDC X-top Rev 2

and I'll check later on. I'll plug in my back up psu, then cathodes and test it... Don't worry it won't be chopped till I take the computer apart.. lmao.

I forgot the back of the Gelid.

 

[MKmods]

Ive got 2 of the black tops but no clear ones. Il take your clear one and tubing if its not UV.

PS let us know if the gelid stuff really works that well. (Im getting tired of waiting for MX 3)

I'll let you know bro on the top. I told someone else about it before I posted here.. if i doesn't want to go that route with the top, by all means its yours.

:O it has the tpu chart
