Got memory back from RMA, jobs a goodun.
Got word about the mobo RMA... they are replacing it
So where are we at you may ask? (or not)
- Been sorting out the overclock
- prime'ing
- getting the RAID setup
- crunched a couple of bigadv to test
- put another 6GB of memory in
- Tested everything again with 12GB
- Setup the water loop on the CPU
- Gutted the cpu isn't as good as the one in my main rig, 1.3V for 3.8Ghz, I mean come on, the other rig does [email protected]
- So CPU loop runs a bit hotter because of the extra voltage I guess, around 76°C on the single 120mm Feser Rad
- Fitted the Lian-Li 3 fan radiator top panel for the A71B
- Fitted the PA.360 and fans etc.
- Unplugged the power from the mobo, put the GTX295's back in, jiggled around with the tubing layout, filled her up and hotwired the PSU to leak test.
- Bottom bitspower right angled rotating connector leaks
- Drain
- swap for a bog standard 90° jobbie..
- Refill
- Leak test again
- YAY
- So far so good. Lots of bubbles but otherwise no leaks for the past 24 hours.
^^ That was all a couple of days ago, I've spent the last few days wrestling with the system not being able to boot even to the bios with 4 cards installed
Tell you what its been a nightmare, and I've been all over the shop looking for answers from Asus' forums to the foldingforum.org
here and loads of other places following in the tracks of Atlas Folder and those of his ilk.
And I've got it booting and am reinstalling windows on my test drive.
