@jAkUp what about condensation with that TEC? did you put sth to prevent it? I mean, you need condensation prevention for anything under ambient temps, otherwise great build ;)
@vicfalc09 wow, very very nice P180 build, great job, nice and clean =)

Well, thats what i call a tight seal :D
Patriote nice looking stacker you have there :up:
Thanks m8! :)
It works pretty well. Has been running like that since a few months now with 3 different loop. (same rad mounting way but with 3 different loops. D5, MCP355, Storm, Apogee, MCW60s etc...) And always had super temps. As you can see, between the case and Rad grill i placed some mosquito net so that the comp doesn't become a dust crap.Quote:
How does that work out for you, with the rad being on bottom? Does it ventilate well? Temps?
With my new E6600 (And my current WC set-up) at 3.6Ghz (9x400) 1.42v i never get temps over 48Degrees After few hours of stressing (Fans undervolted) with Orthos Small FFTs - Stress CPU test. And i idle at about 23Degrees.

The order did cost about 120$ USD if i remember right. And Quoc labeled the box as a gift and i paid 17$ CAD Canada post fee for handling priority courier\EMS items ?! I thought i was supposed to pay nothing but oh well 17$ CAD isn't that bad.Quote:
Off topic, how much did you pay for shipping and customs for buying cross the border (from Petra's)?
Heh yeah they are and i hope they'll be even better with new stuff that arrive today :D
Nope haven't tried anything higher. I received the E6600 about a week ago from a good friend and i tried 3.6Ghz right away with 1.4v After some tweak i found that it needed 1.42v to get stable for many hours of Orthos.
I won't have time to do some more Ocing or re-do my loop with my new parts for some time. My dad is at the hospital and have much more thing to see before. But ill be sure to post back some pics when im done :)
God you guys have beautiful systems
Hats off to Vicfalc09 and Patriote :toast:
My regards to your father. :)
Hi All! Here's mine!
Case: NZXT Zero (Was on sale)
CPU: A64 3800+ Venice @ Stock (Don't know how to overclock. Don't laugh.)
Mobo: Asus A8R32-MVP Deluxe
GPU: HIS x1950Pro @ Stock
Ram: 4gigs of OCZ Plat PC-3200
PSU: Silverstone Zeus 650W
HDD: 1 Lonely 150GB Raptor.
Sound: Audigy 2 ZS
Cooling:
CPU: TDX
GPU: Tyee
Rad: PA120.2
Pump: D5
Delrin T and Fillport.
The Story: She's been in use for a little over a year. The only changes since I built her is both of the x1900's died (Long Story.) and I sold my other Raptor on Ebay for some extra cash I needed for bills. Also It was originally in a CM Stacker 810 but it is currently sitting in my shed in pieces after an unsuccessful modjob (Ran out of money and Patience. Had so many problems with it I gave up.)
Please excuse the horrid wiring job. Its hard to do in this case and im not really worried about it. It's temporary while i work on my wooden cube.

Whew that one heck of a first post.
Welcome Spart! And Nice set-up there if you don't look at the cable mess :p:
Lol yeah the cables are awful. it is really hard to manage it in this case. Theres not enough room behind the mobo or the mobo tray for anything hardly. If i get bored tomorrow ill try to fool around with it.
Interesting... my X1900XT bit the dust not that long ago. Under warranty though and they sent me a X1950XT as a replacement. Maybe something was wrong with those cards that caused early deaths...?Quote:

Im assuming it was a manufacturing defect. Still an ATi Fan tho! :banana: :banana:
Those look like the connectors you use for air tools and air compressors.
Wow, cracked? :eek: Maybe too much pressure from the tyee mounting? Mine just was starting to artifact randomly or turn the screen all green (or blue) with streaks of colored dashed lines. Really weird. It would happen sometimes upon bootup, or going from 2D to 3D clocks or back to 2D when getting in or out of a game. If it didn't do it at those times it worked fine, even during hours of gaming, but those switches would make it screw up. Wasn't drivers or directX or Windows, I reinstalled all of those. Only thing I could think of is the card had some sort of problem switching clocks on the fly. So I've been without my card for a couple weeks now :( This weekend I get my new one though!
My humble effort:)

RLM
Great setup RLM,
Could you send me a few detailed shots of the wiring. How did you route your fan cables?
I'm starting my tj07 w/c build on Thursday, so any input would be great.
Well, I expect two Lian Li rheobus controllers tomorrow and and handful of Papst fans next week. In the mean time it will be (urg) Noctua's on the rad. I'm going to add casters, sound dampening, vibration dampening, lap the CPU, and install all the stuff on Thursday. I'm excited!
I already have a problem. The rear fan wires (92 mm fans) won't reach the fan controller. I can't find extensions. I was thinking of splicing in a few inches of wire so that they will reach. Any suggestions? Again, i want to hide these wires, so that's taking a little extra thought.
Ps I'm going to do a photo work log, nothing special. just a few shots as things progress
