POS:

could you mount the HD here?

then you might get rid of some wire mess?

Not completed but will work on it more tomorrow.
What ideas do you think I should use on routing them SATA cables? I mean I could move the HDD's to the 2nd bay but prefer to keep them off the bottom of the case.

The 8pin isn't long enough to reach up there so thats not possible... :-\

reverse harddrives maybe?

@POS

Swap where the HDD is and where the pump/res are located. It should work? no?

Flyordie · Mar 14, 2010

MKMods, if you see this... enjoy my redneckness. I screwed them badboys down and grabbed my soldering iron and threw a bunch on the bottom of the screws...

Well i count the changes i made as positives, or maybe it was the ocz freeze i slapped on there when i changed the loop around. this is my 17 minute long prime95 session just to check temps... looks pretty good imho

Those temps seem very good as a matter of fact. I'm getting about the same load temp but at 3.8 ghz 1.392v on my 965 C3. Meaning similar clocks but much less voltage. Good job on the loop bro, TIM can be the biggest difference in temp changes sometimes. :toast:

yeah so i heard, too bad i can't get this thing over 4, you'd think i'd have room to play with such low temps and room in the voltage department lol

New toy

(FIH) The Don · Mar 14, 2010

wooooooot a DANISH cooler

how you like that one?

MoonPig · Mar 14, 2010

Q9550 @ 3.825GHz, still runs.

Gunna have two Deltas on it on Wednesday, i'll be making a video for y'all

New toy

liquid metal eh? how does it perform?

Thrackan · Mar 14, 2010

A Danamics? You must have been shitting money for weeks

(FIH) The Don · Mar 14, 2010

they have 2 versions, one for like 200£ and one for 100£

dont know which is what though

MoonPig · Mar 14, 2010

It's the £115.99 version. And no, i got a really good deal. Not gunna say, search some forums and you'll see.

It's awesome.

AMD's love the cold, a 4-5ºc drop WILL give you a higher stable clock. Don't expect 4.5 GHz, but it will let you squeeze a tad more out of it.

Bump your FSB offset to 1 instead of 5.

I actually got more stable doing that... 240FSB gets me 3,400Mhz instead of 3,390Mhz now..

sNiPeRbOb · Mar 15, 2010

Finally got around to some "spring cleaning" on the main rig. I think i found out why my temps were suffering lately. Looks like a bad mount to me...

anyways, cleaned up some wiring, and swapped out my 4890 cooler for the replacement XFX sent me. YAY NO MORE LOUD FAN NOISES!

and an assembled, tidy "teaser"

Thrackan · Mar 15, 2010

Wow bob, that's a lot of thermal goop!

sNiPeRbOb · Mar 15, 2010

i usually only use a very small amount, and then spread it on the chip using a plastic giftcard or ziplock bag over my finger. I think I may have used the "grain of rice"-sized, lay down the TIM and apply block technique the last time i did my mount though, resulting in what you see above...

Thrackan · Mar 15, 2010

Hmm, I tend to use a real small blob, about a millimeter or so. Temps haven't let me down, so I'll keep it at that

sNiPeRbOb · Mar 15, 2010

idk as I've ever used that little TIM before. I will have to give it a try!

Thrackan · Mar 15, 2010

Let me know how it works out, I wonder if there is much difference

brandonwh64 · Mar 15, 2010

what i found that works good is that i have about 2 or 3 leftover tubes of zalman paste and i use the old tubes to spread my new TIM. as in the picture below i take the small thin later of rubber off the old tube and the bottom were it was pinched sealed is almost perfectly flat and arounded off. this makes it peftect to spread thin layers of TIM around the CPU

MoonPig · Mar 17, 2010

Three new, very loud, toys:

(FIH) The Don · Mar 17, 2010

deltas?

MoonPig · Mar 17, 2010

yep, three of these bad boys. Seriously, their too loud.. lol. Great for cooling tho. Not a bad combination:

LMX: £115.99
Deltas: £36

Total: £151.99

Then i have one more delta... lol.
