Does de-lidding the processor give a much better performance Biffa?
Looking good Hukkel, I've gone the other way after my two watercooled Quad Opteron builds, the two quad Intel builds are nekkid!
Cool Biffa! quad Xeons run mad PPD as wel.
And thanks for the comment
its looking awesome !
keep it coming!
I will, expect more stuff very soon.
I want to introduce another sponsor for this build. After this no more big sponsors 
I am honoured to be able to work with a company of the magnitude of EK Water Blocks. :clap:
They offer CPU waterblocks for the G34 sockets. I was able to have a talk with them and they were very interested in this project. Due to the fact you hardly see a project like this. Watercooled big server project.
Now you all understand why I had to create the custom surrounding build for the 4U server case. To fit watercooling parts.
There will be two loops. Most probably one for the CPUs and one for the memory and chipsets. This means A LOT of waterblocks.
- 4 CPU waterblocks;
- 4 RAM waterblocks;
- 16 memory modules to be able to fit a waterblock;
- 2 Ex3 250mm reservoirs,
- 2 multiport tops;
- 2 480mm radiators;
- 2 D5 pumps with plexi tops;
- and a LOT of fittings.
I hope to later on use the black fittings for plexi tubing as well when they get released.
Here ae some pictures of the unpacking. I am unboxing the stuff when I will actually start using them.
I really want to thank EKWB for this sponsorship. I am truely honored to get this opportunity. Thank you Niko and Peter for helping me out with all the details :thumb: You guys rock!

Will you need to reinforce the mobo, its going to weigh a ton.
I cant wait to see this finished.
Keep up the good work mate.

It does weigh a ton. I am kind of...scared of it. Not whist being in the case. But more when being transported overseas.

I'm sure if it's wrapped up good it will be fine
I'm loving this dude, it's like somthing from the future
..or somthing the military would use lol!

What??? No watercooled 780s to throw at this build Hukkel?
Only kidding - Nice work on the EK sponsorship. This is going to be a monster build

That looks like its gonna have to have some huff to shift that thing around when finished!

This has blown my plans for a budget dedicated folding machine out of the water! This will be a complete monster!!
Looking forward to seeing the finished machine, as well as the stats it will push out. A credit to you sir, keep up the good work!

All weekend and no update??? shame on you Mr. Hukkel, shame on you!!!
Nope, not delidded, nekkid as in no case. But no delidding them won't make any difference to the performance, you can't overclock them, just run the extra spicey versions at full turbo on all cores.

Wow, that's some serious hardware. Powerfully envious...

Wow, Never seen a cpu that size or shape. Looks great. Are you looking to take over the world maybe lol.
Looking forward to further updates.
Nice one!

haha thanks man. No Nvidia in this build. AMD would be...unpleased. I am waiting for AMD to make good Linux drivers and then there will be AMD cards in there. Trying to reach the mythical 1 mil PPD.
I know man O.0
Thank you very much. I have been blessed with the opportunity. Otherwise this setup would be quite out of my financial league.
haha I have just been away for a week. I am awaiting parts and plexi panels etc to go to work. I will show all the fitting photos to you guys very soon.

It is. It is going to eat my banc account because of the electricity bill
Who has informed you? You know too much..... I am going to have to...dispose...of you now. Sorry. You brought this upon yourself.
REALEASE THE KRAKEN!!!
Hmmmm 8P system. Smexy.
*plans 8P system after this*
