"something special"

Me thinks you been speaking with Parvum?

pgi947 · 14 Mar 2013 at 22:05

I may have dropped them an email :rolleyes:

No reply yet though I expect they are rather busy with their new following.

The alphacool plate they did on their build log really sold me

Something Else · 14 Mar 2013 at 22:18

those parvum cases are really tempting. when i jump to water ill more than likely get one of their cases. not sure how they would fair for air cooling though.

pgi947 · 14 Mar 2013 at 22:45

They are designed for wc, its a no brainer if you want sff and a fair amount of radiator

Quite glad they showed up, a breath of fresh air in a quite drab case market.

Something Else · 14 Mar 2013 at 22:49

i reckon by the time i go for water they will have expanded their range a bit. i know they want to grow but its good that they are a small company in a way as it means its easier for them to listen to their market directly and offer exactly what people want. i think thats why everyone is loving their small wc cases.

sorry for off topic.

you got any oc done on the gpus yet?

pgi947 · 14 Mar 2013 at 22:53

Got 1250/1700 fairly easily the other night

Modded trixx is being a pita so once I have the memory sorted I'll try flashing the asus bios to get 1.4v from gpu tweak

Something Else · 14 Mar 2013 at 22:58

i hear stories on here that gpu tweak is horrible and full of bugs?

not tried it myself personally. i just oc'ed using CCC to get a healthy 1100/1550

does the power slider do anything in ccc? i just stuck it on 20%

dacads · 14 Mar 2013 at 23:23

Yep moving power limit slider to 20% increases TDP of card so more voltage can be used, this is why it is essential for overclocking

pgi947 · 15 Mar 2013 at 06:31

Trixx can be good, many use it as it has extended voltage ranges for ref 7970's, sometimes it works sometimes it just flakes out and causes a driver crash! I'll have a better clock at the weekend, still getting my sammy green issues sorted.

Yep if over volting push the slider to +20%

pgi947 · 15 Mar 2013 at 06:33

Double post.

Geeman1979 · 15 Mar 2013 at 10:42

I had issues using the modded Trixx. Was good for clocking the core, bud bad on the memory side.

dacads · 15 Mar 2013 at 13:01

With trixx I got lower benchmark scores in heaven valley for some reason, so using CCC for OC and trixx for custom fan profile

pgi947 · 15 Mar 2013 at 22:36

Ah well, I need to get this loop open next weekend and get some bits sorted, just had an hour on Hitman Absolution, temps spiked up to 50c on each GPU, I think I have a flow issue somewhere

I can't actually see any fluid moving, if it is, its moving very very slowly.

Something Else · 15 Mar 2013 at 22:53

i wish i could get 50c on air haha. my card sits at about 70c and is noisy

you will get it fixed mate, these things are sent to test us.

pgi947 · 15 Mar 2013 at 23:00

Yeah, I'm not overly confident the d5 is either working to its full potential or coping with the loop, perhaps time to consider dual loops.

BluD · 16 Mar 2013 at 00:57

Is the pump on number 5 speed setting? Forgot I turned mine down when I was setting the system up and was wondering why it was a bit poor

pgi947 · 16 Mar 2013 at 09:13

Yep it's on 5, 2 loops on a single res looks possible so that may he the way forward.

Nickolp1974 · 16 Mar 2013 at 09:56

If your going down that route have you seen these, would look sweet in your system

Yep, they do a full plexi version that looks epic with coloured fluid, shame they are quite hard to source in the UK and ain't cheap

Might just get another alphacool plexi top and glue em together

Might drop a little food colouring in my res later today to see just how bad the flow is.

Nickolp1974 · 16 Mar 2013 at 10:20

no there not, think there about £100 by time your done, ouch!!

Food colouring!!, not harmfull in any way then??

For future can you not get a flow meter or are they just on the aquaero's??

edit: is CS closed at weekends???
