Yet Another TJ07: Performance Passive
- Thread starter Jokester
- Start date
My temporary setup has lasted slightly longer than I had been expecting, I'll be back on MSN once this one is finished.Looking good.
You do need to pop on MSN at some point though, if you can spare the time away from Ulduar!
Started it up with no cooling.Looking good
Did you start the board with no cooling on the cpu, or was the block just installed and no cpu

How did you keep your CPU at 55C without cooling? Even in an idle state, wouldn't that a cpu fry without cooling?
It takes a minute or two to get too hot with the waterblock on it.
which would be fine
Jokester - its good to see you got one of the older UD5 boards [one with the orange pcie slot at the bottom]
the newer ones [with the blue slot] that i have had recently at work havent clocked so well
That's good to know, didn't realise that there were any changes to these boards!

Looking good so far, always intresting to see how passive builds go. Only ever seen that build on MDPC using those rads before, that looks great so hopefully your build will be equally impressive 
Good luck
Good luck
looks good, i dont like the massive hole in the tj07 mobo tray now, put it behind the cpu for swapping coolers, but surely it doesnt need to be that long
looks good what you have done there jokester
i thought about getting a solid backplate but ended up deciding against it

I think the hole is designed for dual cpu boards in mind. It's a shame they don't have a hole at the bottom into the PSU section as it would be handy for the power cables being tucked behind the tray as well.
Going to have 2 speed controlled fans plus SSDs.

I'm not to keen on it, because of its shape you need to use additional spacers to lift it off the back of the board
Got a bit more done today, decided on two pumps, one for the CPU, one for everything else. From the res, it goes to pump 1 and on to the CPU and back to the res via a common line. For pump 2 it goes to the GPU, the power regs, the chipset and then out the back to the radiators (each side in parallel) before returning to the common line.
