Finished the build - temps as expected?

[Monkeyspaz5000]

Just finished my prodigy water cooled build.

Temps I'm getting are as follows....

I5 2500K @ 4.6 .... 1.37V
60deg Load

GTX670
45deg Load

240rad 60mm thick - fans running at 900rpm
120rad 60mm thick - fans running at 700rpm

Temps seem ok/as expected?


I should be able to run the CPU at lower voltage but I can't get it to drop for the life of me. Probably my inexperience here as my current clock is set by simply adjusting the multiplier.

Cool cool.

I like this watercooling malarkey!

 

[Monkeyspaz5000]

No idea mate, but it was really hot last night!!

 

[Monkeyspaz5000]

It is mate. Pushed it as far as I can.

1240mhz boost and can't remember about the memory.

 

[Monkeyspaz5000]

Cool. Good to know.

Yeah, it would be good to have voltage control on these cards!!!

 

[Monkeyspaz5000]

iirc there is a bios thats supposed to allow 1.21v, but seems very hit and miss as to OC results however. Its a shame Nvidia felt the need to cripple the voltage on these cards so much, I truly believe the 670 I had would have managed near 1500mhz on the core with some voltage control.

It is a pitty especially for people with cards under water.

Not sure how much mine would take though as its reference design pcb.

 

[Monkeyspaz5000]

Not 100% sure on cost.

I'll price it all up later. I know it cost me roughly £400?? That's for the watercooling side.

I'd hate to think what the complete cost was!!

Just remember!! Never let your wife see the receipts!! If she does ask just say "oh, nah - I've always had that bit!"

 

[Monkeyspaz5000]

Ha ha ha!!

I think like someone said the other half is pretty much disinterested in the PC, so really they have no idea what is what.

Yeah - that new thing there?? Nah.. it's not new.. it's the Bombledej Drive.. all computers have one of those! lol
