finally done the water cooling on the gpu and am really happy with the results ill upload the pictures tomorrow

Mr. May · 31 Jul 2011 at 22:10

Time to upload some pictures

heres a few pics of preping and putting the blocks and backplates on the gpus

And some true EK porn here 470's with ek block and backplates and a evga sli3 with ek block

and heres a dremel idea for my new 120gb ssd

and a few of putting everything back

i love this ram suits the build so well

and heres the tubing routes E for EVGA POWER

and i desided to keep the long tubes i kinda like them for some odd reason lol

and a load of shots of it up and running

Also very glad with the temps idle at 33 and 34 and at full load 61 and 63 and cpu temps have only gone up 4 degrees

Next on the upgarde list

4 new sythe kaze 19000 for the rad

and a bigger psu as my 850w is making clicking noises when i overclock past 800 on the cores of my 470's :eek:

so on the look out for a thermaltake tough power 1200w

hope you've enjoyed reading

please feel free to leave comments

I see you didnt turn the radiator the other way! lol Nevermind xD

Looks great mate! what temps you getting?

Mr. May · 1 Aug 2011 at 22:47

when there idling in 2d clocks ony about 33 on the 1st card and 34 on the second and topping out at just a little over 60 at full pelt need a beeter psu to get a higher overclock over 800 which they feel like they can do but my psu is making a clicking sound

~REALiTY · 2 Aug 2011 at 08:35

Nice temps

Hmm thats odd, i thought an 850W would handle them alright.

Id go for Cooler Master Silent Pro Modular 1000W Power Supply give you enough juice thats for sure

and not TOO expensive hehe!

i know but i have had it nearly 5 years and it survived one machine blowing its VRM's up and setting fire also and there is a lot running in the machine 2x180mm fans 1x 140mm and soon to be 5x120mm fans 4 fast hhd's including one raptor a sdd and the pump and lights and thats with out the hardware lol

I was looking at them or the ocz 1250w but i kinda want to stay with thermaltake toughpower series really good psu would like 1200w version as if i want i could go tri sli some 480's (if i could afford them

) as its only the psu which limits what gpu's i get atm

System looks fantastic Mr May. What's the power draw of the system, with a wall monitoring plug my total usage in game is 630w, cpu @4.2ghz, 1.3125v, gpu's @750/1500/1674, albeit your cards are clocked a bit higher, furmark uses 740w. Im also running.

Blu ray drive
8 fans, 5 x 120mm, 2 x 140mm, 1 x antec spotcool
2 hdd's, 1 x ssd, 1 x 7200 rpm, though ive had 3 in the past.
Asus xonar DX audio card

Psu is a corsair hx 850w

Mr. May · 3 Aug 2011 at 07:17

the psu is the same cpn unit the corsair but when i ran furmark it jusy made clicking sounds and turned off straight away but when i run a game at 800 core makes the same clicking noise but dont turn off so i think iam asking to much off it

i want to break the 850 barrier maybe even 900 core if they can do it with a new PSU as temp's are not an issue anymore

Very nice

Mr. May · 5 Aug 2011 at 17:48

Thank you ill update my other HTPC log as soon as i get a min over the weekend

Mr. May · 18 Sep 2011 at 08:13

HTPC log updated now

I need peoples opinions i am about to install another GPU and 2 more rads so iam looking to change a few bits i was wondering.......

Would it be a good idea to spray the mesh on the bottem side vents and top a silver like the tubing ?

or

Would this spoile the stealth look off the case ?

kibet85 · 18 Sep 2011 at 22:09

hey Mr. may..Nyc build...can you tyell me wat tubing is that you using and its size...both ID and OD...and the fittings....thanx in advance..

Mr. May · 19 Sep 2011 at 07:25

Its silver feser stuff 3/8 ID 1/2 OD can get five meeters for five pond and is very good also the fittings are feser but they dont make them any more as ive been trying to find some

moogle · 19 Sep 2011 at 07:42

If you sand around that hole in the rad and put a tiny amount of epoxy metal putty or jbweld it can seal it up nicely. Saves you from chucking a rad away.

If you still have it that is.

Mr. May · 19 Sep 2011 at 13:18

It went in the bin long ago mate

Well perhaps it'll come as a handy tip for you or anyone else should the same thing happen again. I made the same mistake, thought a piece of cardboard would stop the drill bit or at least dampen it

Mr. May · 19 Sep 2011 at 20:25

i know i got too excited and didnt think but second time there was a coffee coaster which worked much better lol
