how did you get all 8 sticks of am to work ? i am correct in saying you have 2 x separate kits of 64GB so 8 x 16GB kits .
i cant get 8 sticks of 4GB 3000mhz to run on mine , (godlike) bios 1.7 .
i can get 2666mhz to run perfectly with all 8 sticks . 2 x kits of 4x4GB Avexir red
i also can not get any ram sticks be it 1-4 sticks in any even number slot . even having 2,4,6,8 slots occupied the board wont even post to say overclock failure and just get the Debug codes for no ram detected on the board digi display.
Your res's are crooked again
So are you saying the Corsair SP120's and EK Vardar's are the same performance but the SP120's are quieter or vice versa?
Nvidia bridge looks...er, floppy
Ah, the ML140's sound interesting. I used some SP120 Performance fans on a build for a friend and was impressed at how much of a draft you could feel through a rad even at low speeds. On paper the SP140s looked naff and other people's reports of them didn't add any confidence. So definitely be interested to hear how you find them both as rad fans and also as case fans - I think I'm stuck with four naff 200mmx20mm fans for my rad unless I want to swap for NINE ML140s instead....at only £180 I think I may just give that a miss! Hoping that Noctua may get round to finishing their 200mm offering and that it will be 25mm or less.
I'd probably be happy to do it to your 6950x We're talking about £1200 in price difference though so I don't think I'd be doing my own either! Mind you, aren't the Extreme series soldered anyway?
New bridge looks good. Much less flacid-looking
Just need to make some of that pipework less invisible now
And I at bending acrylic! Only tips I can give you are to make sure you heat a wide enough area for the whole bend - otherwise it sort of folds or narrows.
Also not hot enough and you get problems (starts solidifying before you finish the bend) but too hot and it starts bubbling. Be prepared to waste some finding the sweet(ish) spot.
If you're using metal mandrels (I've got a set of Monsoon 13mm ali and a set of Barrow 12mm ABS plastic) it may be beneficial to warm it up first. Otherwise it cools rapidly when it touches and it all goes pear-shaped! ...at least that's what I found with the ye-haw mandrel I made from some ali tube to get a shorter bend.
That is starting to look beast, can't wait to see the finished project.
Nice. I like how they're hub-lit rather than edge-lit....although I guess I'd probably be saying the reverse if all fans I'd seen up to now had been hub-lit and these were edge-lit.
That's some serious cash just on fans.....but then I guess it's easier to justify when it's to cool a pair of Titans!
