My rig is done!!!

[bigKr33]

The following is in my sig, pictures soon to come. Current temps in a hot room:
CPU
idle:30-32c
load:33-36c
GPU
idle:35c
load:n/a

[Direwolf]

Damn, didnt know thermochill's were that good LOL. No wonder they cost a arm and a "few" legs. :fact:

Congrats

[mtl_hed]

Current temps in a hot room:



What are the room temps:

A) as measured by the "case" sensor on mobo
b) as measured by probe elsewhere in the room

I would like to see your dT.

[tommrussell]

well done bigkr
but with all this bragging that its all done and no pics to prove it well i dont know ............................but i need pics and lots of 'em how 'bout everyone else do you need pics to

all kidding aside glad you got her done and with some great temps to boot

[nealh]

damn..delta over idle is awesome

[bigKr33]

Room temps i do not know exactly, but the windows were open and it was almost 90f outside today. The air was not on, and the temps were recorded with my overclock in my sig.

I'm currently out of state with a friend, but my computer is at his house and he has a camera that i'll borrow to take the pics. I'll do some prime95, cpu-z, and of course the rig.

I want to thank everyone from xtremesystems because without you guys this rig would of never existed let alone the water cooling. It took 2 monthes to get everything done, but the end result is all well worth it.

Thank you ;)

too bad on board sensors are horribly inaccurate (5c-10c)

I tend to agree. I've remounted my Storm a couple times on my Skt 754 Clawhammer and according to speedfan I idle around 40C

[FragTek]

I don't believe I've ever seen a load temp that only differed 4*c from the idle temp on water before :confused:

[Dave_Sz]

that's cause his isn't accurate.

[ReD.SkY]

Pics!!!


:D

i really hate thisfact casue it means spending all of my money on my PC

[bigKr33]

Here are the pics I've taken so far. Sorry about the res.

I have overclocking results as well, but i don't have a word program. So later today or tommorow i'll have the money shot pic of my overclock.

what are you using to plug/cap the T-Line?

[berknip]

what are you using to plug/cap the T-Line?

I believe that is one of the delrin fillports that Petra's is now selling. I bought two off of eBay a long time ago and they work great.

Indeed, and they are cheaper then dangerden alucrap port! :banana:

Nice foot, by the way

[bigKr33]

yep its a derlin fillport from petra's

Oh and thats not my foot, my friend took the pics.

[tommrussell]

thats on sweeeeeeeet set up you got there great cable management nice and tidy really like the fan grill on the back fan

[CRXican]

how is the radiator supported?

[bigKr33]

very strong velcro from mc-mastercarr.com. The pump is also held down by velcro.

[bigKr33]

Heres my overclocking results. I was amazed at these results, but now all thats left is tweeking my ram which is a little tricky.

Nice 'n' Tidy ;) I like it :clap:

That Opteron 165 ain't no bad clocker either eh? ;)

[LazyBum]

Very clean, sharp looking rig and a good overclock. That's a rig to be proud of :)

[bigKr33]

Ok I'm curious as to how much voltage can a opty 165 take until its deemed unreliable. I heard somewhere that they're reliable up to 1.55v and that anything after that is just killing the chip.

I'm curious because i want to get my overclock higher and i'm big on reliablity, my ram doesn't like the 5/6 divider. Right now i'm at the specified settings (ddr500) for my ram, but want to get some more out of it because being at 3ghz on a 3/4 divider that puts my ram at ddr500 like i just stated above. If i were to do 340x9 on a 3/4 divider, that would put my ram at ddr510 which is fine, but not really pushing it, but at the same time may be putting my cpu into jeopordy for reliablity. If not possible for any reason, is it possible to get my ram at lower timings? I've heard of people hitting a latency of 2.5 for these mushkins, but i'm really not familar with the extra timings so i'm not really sure if 2.5 is capable due to the lack of knowledge.

I have not yet tested my ram for stability, but heres a reference used from a64 v0.60 beta
