Liquid Art: From Mini P180 to infinity...

Fuuuuuuuuuu, after all that I forgot to bring the bloody thing home...
I think some of the guys are in tomorrow so might drop in and pick it up if I'm over that way.....
 
Fail, indeed not epic tho, thatll be when i try to fit it without measuring the pcb first and find it wont fit, only measurements i can find are the gfx card with existing cooling fitted which is 113mm, the hybrid only fits pcb's upto 98mm..
I'm off to measure the pcb now...

Pretty sure a load of the guys are working tomorrow as we had a machine breakdown last week and they are still playing catch up...
 
Parvum Systems S2.0:



There is a new build thread open with the new build and some pointers on the new case but new pics are here too:






















Some Tidying up and some more adjustment:




 
Aye, All setup in my mining rig now, temps are cooler but its a damned tight fit, the heatplate on the back is touching the heatsinks on my ram on a mATX board.

Its idling a few 0c higher when idling but is a full 20oC cooler under load, once the paste has settled I imagine it'll be a smidge cooler idle and maybe a bit more under load.
 
Will take some pictures while its settling, bare in mind its on my mining rig and the rad position isnt ideal.
Not mining at the mo just idling away, so far the temps on idle are now 4oC lower than on the stock cooler, 28 rather than the 32 they were earlier, I'll do some full load mining over night and see what it settles at in the morning...
 
Over all its not a bad bit of kit, I think they could make improvements though.

The backing plate doesnt cover the whole back of the card, it covers enough to cover the components on my card (Asus R9-270x DC something or other TOP) but you cant put the bottom clip on so theres a small amount of flex, still 5 out of 6 isnt bad..
I wonder if they could make it so it had sections you could break off so they could cover more PCB sizes.

The blue thermal pads, I think, and some might disagree that they should have this premounted on the backing heatsink, would make it a lot easier to sort.

For the £65 or whatever it was its certainly worth it, granted I have clearance issues on my mining rig, and expect I will have on my Gene in my main rig as thats also mATX but for what it is and what it does, its an awesome bit of kit, it probably doesnt get the results of proper full blown WC kits but for those like me that dont mind vioding a warranty to get a cooler quieter GPU its spot on.

I've had a fair few AC kits now, from my old HD4870(?) to my HD6870, GTX670 and now one of my R9270x's, its pretty clear these guys know what they are doing and will continue to be my "go to" company for aftermarket GPU cooling, plus as I've had so many of their kits before my spares box is full of RAM sized heatsinks so I'll be sticking some of them on later just because I can...
