I'm considering downsizing my i7 and the H55N and Q08 look very temping

 

[(FIH) The Don]

im thinking about this

Wow,I didn't realize those Mac cases had so much room. Are you going to start a project log on this build?

 

[(FIH) The Don]

was kinda surprised too, but then again, they build them for those dual cpu boards, and what not,

yeah i think i will, but i think ill wait until im halfway with the mod, so i know im not backing out again, the other 2 worklogs didnt really turn out that good haha

i also mailed some auto painters to hear how much they want for the painting, so that should be answered tomorrow or monday

 

[grunt_408]

Done the TIM change and 180 flip. Temps are worse. Might be a bit of mucking around today me thinks.

 

[(FIH) The Don]

im still amazed how long that card is, even after so long

 

[grunt_408]

There's also a plastic shroud to keep the 5970 from drooping.

I Like that PSU. I am just about to order one its a toss up between 3 The Enermax Revolution85+ 1050W , The Corsair Hx-1000 or the coolermaster gold. My TT 750W is making random ticking noises and will be getting RMA'd.
Here is what I done to hold up my 5970.

 

[(FIH) The Don]

id get the enermax or the CM,

the HX1000W is overrated imo

 

[grunt_408]

I like the look of the enermax a lot but looks are not everything. And I dont honestly know which one would be best. I guess they would all be around the same?

Worse?

 

[(FIH) The Don]

yeah, but if I were to choose........then the CM gold

 

[grunt_408]

Worse?

Yes a lot worse by at least 7 degrees. Stuff knows why. I will do it again with a little less paste but dont think I put too much on.

They are incredibly well built too. Really thick aluminum. Nice and heavy.

Enermax. They are kicking PSU ass these days. Top, TOP tier stuff.

As a current owner of an HX750W and a previous owner of a Revolution 950W, I'd say go for the Revolution!

 

[grunt_408]

Ok this is the one I like.
I am off now to re-apply MX-2. might try a thinner layer of it.

 

[(FIH) The Don]

you guys have some insane prices on hardware

that psu would be like 500$ here in denmark

just put like a rice corn on the cpu, and nothing more, then just spread it out on the cpu

LOL lucky I do not live in Denmark . I only put a grain of rice size on there. Spread it out with a plastic bag evenly on the cpu. I cleaned the cpu and block with proper TIM remover and then used a surface purifier to ready the surface. It may be tension related but I will pull it apart and try again.

 

[(FIH) The Don]

you do run the pump at full speed right?

yeah i hate our hw prices, and car prices,

other than that its pretty good living here.

gotta eat

fresh out the bakery

 

[JrRacinFan]

@don

You will never think the same of your sticky buns AGAIN!!!!

 

[(FIH) The Don]

ah well, i already ate them

 

[grunt_408]

Swapped out the MX-2 with some AS5 still the same deal.

 

[(FIH) The Don]

and you run the pump at full speed?

 

[Athlonite]

Yep I am about to put the RAD back the way I had it and see if that makes a difference.
