How goes it? Gaming yet? Did you get the lanes issue sorted?

Haha oh yeah lack of response due to overclocking and gaming

I don't think it was a lane issue, it might have been stability. It's disappeared now, with unstable clocks I noticed it happens again. Seems to be USB only though, but I tried both USB 2.0 and the USB 3.0 NEC chip.

Waiting for the fan splitters to arrive so I can clean up all the cables and get all fans powered, I'm running with half of them off, temps hitting 35 degrees on load! On idle they're about 30 degrees. Expect it to drop when it cools down a bit. Those are normal temps for that room as my old loop had the same temps, and it's surrounded by a few microservers and a QNAP 8 bay nas and that room gets quite stuffy, so temps appear to be good.

Overclocked the X5690 to 4.2Ghz, getting temps of 67 degrees at full load, tried pushing to 4.6 but with 1.4 vcore and 1.4vtt and still hitting only about 70 degrees at full load but still not stable enough, I dialled it back. This CPU can do it but I just need to find the right settings. Currently hovering around the 21/22 multiplier (It has a max multiplier of 27!)

Overclocked the two GTX 980Ti OC Strix GPU's, so far the boost clock to 1391mhz and 8000mhz memory on both. In games it boosts to 1455 mhz without a sweat, so hoping to set boost to 1500, temps are really really good!

Only game I've tried it on is Tom Clancy's the Division with a custom SLI profile, but still this game doesn't work very well with SLI, I'm only getting 63fps! Expect more from an SLI optimised game hopefully...

Might buy Battlefield 1 and maybe Doom 4 and give them a shot.

Hey man is that 13/19mm hose and fittings you are using?

Love the rig too. Hoses are growing on me again.

Cheers!

And Yep .

13/19 Primoflex Advanced LRT tubing!

The bend radius is really really good before it starts to kink compared to the cheapo xspc stuff I was using before!

My next one will be PETG or Acrylic for sure, but it'll have to be in some monster giant case. Will probably wait for the Pascal Ti editions!

Beautiful! Love the UV glow

Thanks, I've improved it a bit by adding CableMod WideBeam Magnetic LED Strips! I realised my case isn't Magnetic LOL so had to stick on some no more nails double sided tape! So far so good. Will need to post an update when I'm free.



I currently have an issue with the GPU's bending! I've looked at finding some gpu supports that attach to the pcie mounts and are basically a piece of acrylic with straighten them up but not sure if they would work with my SLI setup, I think they need 2 pci slots free underneath. I have 1 free slot between the GPU's but there is the Parallel Plexi SLI Terminal Block between the GPU's and an PCie SSD in the bottom slot under the 2nd GPU so not sure how I can do it besides ruining the aesthetic with zip tie or chopsticks or something lol...
