No not yet will try later just can't put my finger on the problem something is wrong but under 100% load it will die within minutes mainly CPU load is the problem GPU's can work all day with no problem, My cooling seems to have become next to useless for the CPU even at stock tried remounting it multiple times now no difference so dunno what is going on :confused: :(

I thought your CPU was liquid cooled - along with your chipsets..........

Are you actually monitoring the temp of the CPU?

<edit>Have you considered reducing the amount of CPU allocated to BOINC to a single thread, monitoring the temp, and then slowly increasing the allocation bit by bit 'till the problem surfaces..</edit>

Whys it gone so quiet in here lately? I need Tbag dilemma's to keep me going through these night shifts ;)

lol rotten sod :D
Not so much a dilemma but a real puzzler. 2 of my machines refused to get new tasks no matter what i tried, so it was a case of back up and format c x 3. Gave the computers new names and TeaBag1 thinks it has an average of 100,000 or so and a total credit of 22 odd million, rigs 2 and 3 seem to have started from scratch and look as though they are slowly building up the average, i just cant wait untill the stats update, if anyone begrudges the extra 10 mill if it sticks think of it as a 10 mill team booster :D:D
On another note have a hd5670 that milkyway reckons is not compatable any ideas what i could use it for.....and keep it clean!!! :D:D
Yup it is kinda quiet, i miss being heckled at 4 in the morning by Mr Marine so i've taken up online poker instead :D

It is under water but CPU only :(

Temps under 100% CPU will easily get to 100°c even with stock clocks this is using 50% of CPU and look at the temps :( (volts are 1.232v)

Is it this?

Same CPU block as mine, you should be fine on a 240 rad and those volts. Try tightening the block down a bit, I found I had to wind it down till the screws stopped on my Heatkiller.

Also whats the water flow speed like? You saw my gunk'ed Heatkiller, that certainly caused my 920 to get hot at the time.

....and your pump is working ? Obvious question I know but....

What about the reservoir level? You're not dragging air around the tubes are you?
 
Yup working and only have a 1p sized bubble in the res, It's weird and I feel the need to remount it but not going to achieve anything.

kind of at a loss on this one.....

Have you got an air cooler you could swap in to see if it is your loop, or something wrong at the CPU end......
 
What about an air trap in the radiator. Does the radiator get hot? Is it blowing real hot air out of the fans? Is the CPU block hot to touch?
 
Right just tumbled the rad about no air/bubbles came out rad is warm and is pushing air out CPU block is also getting warm, Might order a CPU cooler tomorrow don't even know which air cooling make me sad :( :p
 
Air cooling is poo :)

Have you tried changing the screw tightness 1/2 turn tighter all round then half turn looser while watching coretemp to see if it makes any difference?
 
oh wow, i thought i was throttling back my 920 a lot, you're definately beating me :)
Didn't realise you can do a .5 multiple on the clock; your vcore also looks a tad low, I know the temps will up, but are you sure its the temps, cos in the summer my 920 was running close to 100, it just throttled itself nicely to a lower multiplier when it got too hot.
