PC-75B WC Job [Pics]

[[XC] Angstrom]

It occurred to me that I had never posted any good pics of my WC rig the first time I built it. Part of the reason was that I didn't have a good digital camera. So here are some pics, 3 cuts and several bruises later.

You know what's just peachy? I've done the debug mod on the D975XBX twice now (this time I practically slathered the thing with conductive ink), and I have yet to see unlocked vcore and other options. I'm this close to just getting another mobo as i'm going to have to go modded bios to overclock on this one.

Blocks after vinegar + salt for about 5 minutes (they look better than the pictures credit them)

A tubing change was seriously needed...

The top panel PA120.3 mod (By Maxxxracer). Unfortunately the wires broke off (it was a weak connection) so I had to wrap the wires around each other and tape the red and black individually.
Rad was flushed with boiling distilled water 3 times.

Bleeding and leak testing (total of around 14 hours)

This is what a bleed screw is supposed to look like when its working.

The finished product (this was the best I could do with cable management since the Enermax Infiniti has short cables)

So I have to figure out why my OC debug mod isn't working (twice) otherwise I can't overclock this gorgeous thing.

Both cores running Super PI 1M
Idle: ~45C
Load: ~50-51C
Room temp: 25C

@ 3GHz Overclock and Stock voltage (1.325V - since I can't change it yet)

Both cores running Super PI 1M
Idle: ~40C
Load: ~48-50C
Room temp: 25C

is that with stock clock or oced, if i'ts oced, then how much.??

Sorry, just disabled EIST and C1E too, i'll update the temps/clocks.

[[XC] Angstrom]

Temps are reported using both coretemp and rmclock.

[Solarfall]

mmm kinda hight temps, but then again you have your video card in the same loop so that enplanes it.

that looks nice :)

I'd blame it on high ambient, but in any case the delta is low (5-6C) and that's what matters.
