Looks goooddd

No benchmarking being done on this mighty build of yours yet P?

Yaayuh! · 23 Apr 2013 at 16:25

Would totally of gone for the akasa viper fans in the top, would suit this build.
Other than that, smashing build pal.

Agreed ^^

They would look well with the yellow theme.

Paul whats your main temps???
Ambient?
Water?
CPU?

thx bud

I offered him some for free!! but there was a reason why i wanted rid. TOO NOISY at anything above 60%, look good which is why i had them in mine along with the GT's.
GT's all the way and spray 'em

I'm working on it, just fine tuning the memory as I need a few profiles for different things

I did have Vipers on a previous build, I do like them so I'll keep an eye out to snag some on next rebuild. Maybe even get some 140mm vipers for the front

Moving to yellow/black was almost a last minute thing and already had the golf fans

Ambient is 20c
Water temp is 20.2c
CPU is idling at 21c
CPU loading (P95, 4.75ghz 1.44v) at ~50c
GPU's both idling at 22c
GPU's loading at stock around 35c
Mosfets loading around 40c.

Edit: all case fans are running at around 6v too, the loudest thing in my case is the 40mm fan on the ICY BOX, I'll get creative with a pair of snips next time I'm in the case to disable it.

Nickolp1974 · 23 Apr 2013 at 19:06

there awesome, my waters about 3.5-4c above ambient and cpu is about 4-5c above that, fans are running at 4.5/4.8/5.2v for the 3 channels, with 31c coming off the aquaero waterblock.
gpu idle 26c

Those are pretty good considering you have some hot components in that loop! How's the imc on your new chip nick?

Nickolp1974 · 24 Apr 2013 at 07:09

Not yet tested thoroughly, will have more time at the wkend. Chip itself will only just hit 5GHz anything more requires silly voltages, but im happy with that.

Have you done much testing on your ram yet??

pgi947 · 24 Apr 2013 at 07:23

Not a great deal yet, still working at bringing stock speed timings down then start pushing for speed

Have you tried 10,12,11,28 1T 2400MHz? That's what I run mine at.

pgi947 · 24 Apr 2013 at 10:15

It's on my agenda for bench clocks as I'll have to see what my base clock limits are, around 103 on 1.25 should sit me around 2400mhz, anything over that depends on my imc and base limits

Geeman1979 · 24 Apr 2013 at 10:21

Ah yes! I forgot you clock with a mixture of the base clock

Are you going to have a go at tuning the 2nd's and 3rd's? Somthing i've not even attemted or even know where to start.

pgi947 · 24 Apr 2013 at 12:31

I will have a go yes, beyond trfc is out of my depth too

charic · 24 Apr 2013 at 12:33

All overclocking is out of my depth at the moment

This build looks great though! Subscribed

Geeman1979 · 24 Apr 2013 at 12:56

Keep us informed and i'll see if I can match the settings you achieve with my ram

pgi947 · 24 Apr 2013 at 13:02

Ease depends what you're clocking and to what levels. Most Intel platforms are fool proof to hit 4.3ghz on as a minimum.

I'll play with the ram more tonight provided I get home at a decent hour.

Yaayuh! · 9 May 2013 at 08:32

Got them Viper fans yet?

Also, more pictures!!

pgi947 · 9 May 2013 at 21:07

I'll be putting Vipers on as soon as I get the chance to buy some and re-jig the loop so more pics will come then. It is a cert though, the noise on these golf fans is irritating me a little.

Just some minor work to do, though baby is due in 3-4 weeks so I may not get the chance any time soon

I want to all out remove the 5.25 cage, probably drop the controller down to an aquaero LT that I can hide. Fit a smaller bracket for holding the cover panel in place, possibly either fit a smaller res or fit a 480 in the bottom.

I'll get more pics if/when I get some time off at the weekend, one thing I have noticed is this case is 100% dust magnet, I may need to invest in some filters. I'm not usually bothered by dust, but its been, what, 2 weeks? and it has a nice coating already
