Second Build - University

I haven done much to the machine but i took this weekend to do some updates:

- i will be trying sli with a 580 that i recently bought

- i want to try the ocuk liquid cooler as there is a lot of unanswered questions and seeing as it was on special offer - i thought id give it a go

- refresh the power supply with one that can handle the 580 sli - thanks to my sponsor at Enermax! :D :D :D



The cooler comes in an unbranded white box, the same dimensions as the Corsair H80 box



Similar packaging inside too...



It has a thick H80 rad but a basic waterblock like a H60



From a quick google, i think this model is the "COOLIT ECO II A.L.C FAT BOY"













The waterblock has a thin copper base, im not sure if thats a good thing or bad :p




Seeing as i had the machine in pieces, i thought id refresh the paste in the graphics cards and replace the EVGA shroud with a generic black one that will look better with my theme






My Noctua with Black fans is going to have a rest whilst i test out this ocuk cooler

I think it fits in quite well :D





Noctua d-14, stock fans, 12V, mx4: 40 degrees idle, 60 degrees load

Ocuk Extreme cooler, Noctua 120mm pull, 12V, stock paste: 40 degrees idle, 63 degrees load


The sli 580s have a 140mm Bitfenix fan blowing along them NZXT-style and the temps are with 1 degree of eachother:

Unigine Loop: 76 degrees botton PNY card, 77 degrees top EVGA card
Unigine score: 2442

Are those screws for fans to attach to the rad?

How many years warranty does it come with?

What temps do you get now compared to your previous air cooler?

thanks

yep, the screws go through the fan and fix to the radiator

they arent long enough to puncuture your rad

they also give you 8 so you can do push/pull if you want to but on these units it isnt really worth it as the increase in noise only gives you a degree or two cooler

How many years warranty does it come with?

i imagine it comes with a standard one year warranty but check with ocuk :)

What temps do you get now compared to your previous air cooler?

read the end of my previous post :)
thanks

the temps are the same as my current h60, so I think I'll stick to what I have.

i thought i should mention:

- because of this heatwave the ambient temp in my room is low 20's

- im using a noctua fan which has a much lower rpm than the fan with a h60

Sorry dude - I must have missed this comment!

The white braided cables were from a company called Mod/Smart or something and they are lovely quality

good luck with your build :)
 
I really like that PSU! Hardwired cables that are needed I can appreciate, so much better than my Bequiet which has stupid thin hideous molex fan cables hard wired in taking up space behind my mobo tray.

I actually don't like the Noctua fans in black, so used to the original - pure quality the D-14. Impressive temps from the OCuK cooler.
