Nice workaround. So let me get this straight, you can pass Aquaero info to the 4-line LCD?

Yes, it's murderMod sleeving. I'm not sure if they make a white sleeving yet, but you can check out their website and email them.

Haven't figured out how to do it directly. What I am doing is passing info from Everest to the display. Running the Aquasuite software as well, I can control the fans using temperature readings. So, fans and temp sensors are connected to the Aquaero.

And, just procrastinating going to the office. Here's a shot of the display with some Everest monitoring info:

That's it ... thanks, SiGfever. I was too impatient to take pics before seeing if I was going to crash and burn another LCD.

Ha, Jhors2 ... don't be laughing at my Vcore ... I can easily do up to 3.8 on the 920 without going over that :p: Have yet to try to really push it.

And, thank you, Ian. Hopefully it will be wrapped up this weekend (unless I break something else while persuing one of my half-baked ideas).

Shazza, It's those half-baked ideas that lead us to success! Mine typically arrive due to scotch......:D

I corrected it for you Shazza. :D

Good to see that you got this issue squared away. You went from 2 line LCD to 4 line LCD. :clap: It's like turning lemons into lemonade.....

Hopefully no more issue with the LCD going forward....unless something does and then i think i'll see SLi LCD's in your future to top this fix hehehe.

... I'd laugh, but ... not yet!

I want to repeat what my new Crystalfontz LCD told me when I first turned it on "Shazza lost her mind." Up at 6 am ... thought I had just a few hours of cable fixin' and it's now almost 5pm. Redoing cables, redoing the chipset / mosfet loop, sleeving some more fans, and making sure everything stays hooked up. Fire it up ... get to windows loading screen then it hangs, and hangs, and hangs. ARRGGGHHH. After a couple hours, traced the problem to the new hard drive my husband gave me and got that sorted out. I was just thinking, "Oh No, do I have the fortitude to tear down and redo if I can't troubleshoot this?" Whew, I'm not sure what the answer to that question would have been, but I was looking for a large sledgehammer...

Still work to do. A few early teaser pics:

Just trying to get the green color to turn out right:

Oops, got some crookeds to fix:

You'd think Bitspower would send me a free pen or something, all the silly pics I post of their shiny fittings.

LOL ... thanks guys, but I'll leave the million dollar PCs to the pros. I'm kinda going for the Wal-Mart look here :)

Shaazza... any pics of the LCD and Aquaero hooked up?

I'd like to see how you decided to mount it .. whether you decided to combine them or seperately....

Also you inspired me to pick up a used one for a decent price ... hopefully i wont have any issues :cool:

You have done a true work of art that we haven't seen before, multi coloured tubes, once you post full case pics etc.... I'll be sending this URL to MDPC :up:
