damn binge thats sweet. the RAM heatsinks, the black tubing and the HK block

 

[SystemViper]

Wow, Got to say that is one good looking DFI

I agree

So Binge, how are your temps with the HK compared to your old block?

 

[Binge]

They are better by about 3C for now, but I made one mistake and bought a 655 pump. It's less noisy but not worth the temperatures I could be getting with better pressure/flow. This block is more restrictive than my GTZ so I'd see even better temps with a pump that has more pressure. I'm going to get a 355 with XSPC top to deal with the pressure drop I'm experiencing.

 

[Binge]

More to show and this also has the correct mounting for the Heatkiller Rev3.0.

 

[Thrackan]

That's such a sexy block when installed!
First, were those temps with HT on?
Second, I see you have your system mounted horizontally, do you think it would matter whether you mount the block with the in/out horizontally oriented or vertically oriented on a vertical motherboard position?

 

[Binge]

The way I have the block mounted in the picture above is the best placement for the block. I've tried it in every single direction.

My previous temps were crap. I'm now hitting 53 MAX HT on 4.2GHz in Prime95 Small FFT/OCCT/Core Damage. This block is a total of 13C better than the Swiftech GTZ, but I also modified my loop.

 

[Thrackan]

So you have the block mounted in the way you can read the text without breaking your neck and the board mounted vertically? Or is that still on the bench?

 

[Binge]

Always on the bench, and if it were mounted vertically I would be breaking my neck to read that text... or standing on my head

Lol, but what would you think to be the best orientation in a normal tower case setup?
First thought would be to just mount it upright: inlet in the middle, outlet below that.
That would be the easiest flow to the outlet, but the lever on my socket is oriented upright as well.
Maybe you could paint it on this:

Also, I'd appreciate it if more people could voice an opinion here.

 

[Binge]

The CPU block's flow path is too small to make more of a difference than your pipes(tubing)... but in terms of the system getting rid of excess air the best thing would be to have the outlet above the inlet. That way no air bubbles hang out in the U shape that leads to the outlet.

 

[Thrackan]

I get your point there. Though I could always try to bleed the block before installing it onto the CPU.

Guess this is one of those "try and find out" things I'll come across before my first loop will work

 

[Binge]

I bleed my entire loop anymore, so you can certainly do that and tell me your results!

 

[Thrackan]

Hmm I'm getting pretty sceptic about my XSPC pump/res after studying some Laing specs... Mine can reach less than half the height of a 355.

I keep telling myself I just need to put it together first and find out how well it runs though

If my current pump won't cut it, I'll get a 355 with an XSPC res/top, looks good

I thought i would let you Asus fans know there is a
new Bios '1303'. Added support for D0 stepping.

 

[SystemViper]

just got my mail and there was 12G of ram, thansk Fit for that great find of the D9 JNL';s, I will use that ram for my 3 home builds, that is just fantastic!

Love the D9 JNL's

and now they are 75.00 HERE

 

[Fitseries3]

too bad the mother fuckers lost mine or i would have mine too.

enjoy SV.

Whats the difference between these two besides the obvious?

[Binge]

Only the obvious. Here is a comparison between the GTZ and the HK Rev3.0 LT and the HK is mounted incorrectly.

Swiftech GTZ:

Heatkiller Rev3.0:

With the correct mounting the highest number I've seen is 60C and that's while running Core Damage. I'll do an OCCT comparison later with the correct mounting.

Here is a screenshot of my motherboard's temps vs Realtemp vs OCCT:

Got my DFI UT X58 T3eH8 today, Monday I will set up my loop again and start playing.

 

[Chicken Patty]

hey binge, so how did you modify your loop again? sorry if I missed your post

 

[Binge]

It goes Rad>Pump>Res>CPU>Rad MCP655 and Heatkiller 3.0
