whats a while?
its been on 8 hours.
evaporator at -40.1 apparently, everything is at stock (now now)..
Other thing is, this dfi expert really works against you with its cold boot problems, took me flaming ages to figure that out last night.
Looks awesome though

getting concerned this is a bit off beat then, it has a constant, fairly loud whirring noise. Like a fridge so its the compressor but it's pretty noisy. Very audible over fans etc.
Its been on now for about 18 hours but no real load.. Do you think I should load it up to give it a run? If its been sat still for weeks (possibly more) will it quieten down over a few days? Do you get faulty compressors that get noisy?
Sorry but I'm just curious because I think at this level I'm going to find it hard to get used to because the noise is hard edged and high pitched, its quite hard to ignore.

Onto the watercooling, the pink loop needed to be changed because
1) new res
2) new swiftech mcw30 chipset block
3) change/reroute
thats leak testing and thank god I did.. HUGE leak from one of the barbs, then the barb snapped in the rad, then the only way to get it out was to screw it into the rad (this one handed with me having my thumb over the end of the pipe to stop the water from flowing out because I couldn't find a bung) not fun...
Its in! ready for the tidy up and fire up...

Thats the other thing, 3ghz is stable enough to superpi and it'll prime for about an hour so in my book I'd say its stable, my 2.75 on water died on prime after about 15 minutes but still played FEAR/BF2 etc fine.
3.1ghz will hang around windows but you get the not convergent in sqr05 thing on a 1mb superpi.
3.2ghz hangs in windows after about a minute.
the 3ghz is well within the limits of the 2gb ram I have (gskill HZ) but herein lies another story which I'd be glad to get help/explainations for.
It won't run/boot/bios anything lower than a 180 divider. To get to the 180 divider I need to up to ram voltage to 3.2 from normal 3v (although the sticker says 2.6-2.8v it never booted at less than 2.92v with the water, with phase it won't boot under 3.0v).
The Corsair 3500LL pro that arrived today won't boot 2 sticks at all, period.
So the 3.1 and 3.2 were tested with just 1 stick of Gskill HZ in.
Tried LDT to 1.3v and HTT to 1.65v, evap says -40, fully loaded it reckons -30, bios says -15. Vcore has been all the way up to 1.8v.
Not especially impressed with the clocks tbh although it does appear stable 250mhz past my last best clock.
smids said:Looks professionally done as usual Matt, nicely executed..
Looks like one of the cathodes got lost in the Vapo though.
why thank you, I like a tidy pc
and yes, first mod before I even fired it up (might be the last if I buy this mach2 I was just offered
) I figured seeing as I'm going red, why not go the whole hog.. there's a red 120mm fan in the front you can't see, its all very... red.early october so fairly early I guess?? EDIT CCBWE 0534SPMW if that helps, I get the 05 W34 thing.
thought about an opty 170, people are pulling 3ghz with smelly air cooling on some of them but apparently they don't like the cold.

I can live with fan noise, I understand it'll be a give & take thing, its the high pitched noise that sounds like someone with a drill in the basement I don't have that's bugging me now.
As for the coldbug I'm not against the idea of going through a few chips to find something that doesn't suffer with it.
