Are those filters or are the fans already really dust? :rofl:

Are those filters or are the fans already really dust? :rofl:
They are filters that are already dusty! Gross to see just how much dust is in an otherwise clean house. Hope compressed air blowing from inside out will help?
^^ It happens. You know your filters are working though. The compressed air can do the job, but nothing like taking it apart and cleaning it. A vacuum with a hose works too.
I find a rinse with clean water works best.
smallish update and some pics..
gpu area which I don't think looks too bad but will be much better when I get that new ek dual block:

and this mess which is why I'm ditching 3 loops, so horrible looking imo:

and some new fans today 20x s-flex "F" hopefully they push more air through dust filters then the poopy noctuas and don't run too loud when undervolted (noctuas make practically no noise I may have kept them since my temps are pretty good had they not been so ugly) (also presleeved thanks sidewinder!):

S-flex F's are quiet and push a decent amount of air, but obstructed they do make noise, so beware. Btw, I love them, use them exclusively with 1 S-flex G on my TRUE.
I think you could use a d plug between the two gpu blocks, that would remove some of that tubing. And then you could probably use a couple 90's and a d plug between the mosfets/chipset
Basically it's just toooo much tubing, and for the gpus I'll be using the ek dual block so that will help. It sucks knowing I have so far to go until I get it like I want, if I could start all over I would have done a million things different, trying to fill every inch of this huge case was nuts. Also that awesome dual xeon board came out a few weeks later if I were starting all over I'd be going 2 8 core xeons for sure.
Yeah, but then there'd be a 4P board :p:Quote:

Yeah I need to stop complaining, the fact is this system is crazy fast and I haven't begun real testing/tweaking yet, waiting for my 980x and hopefully non coldbugged 5970. I play bfbc2 at everything maxed 16x aa/af and it never even hiccups. Pretty awesome.
Do those recently announced 8 core xeons have same socket as common i7/dual-p xeons?
As for non cold-buged 5970s .. is there any shure method of finding one? like particular vendor or particular PCB?
The xeons are 1366 but they won't work in x58 motherboards, if I read correctly. As for the 5970 there doesn't seem to be any safe vendor, I thought it was xfx then someone came on a day or 2 ago confirming their xfx card was cold bugged. I will find out tomorrow about mine.
Are you shure about non working with x58? I recall few lots on ebay of pretested for overclocking 6core engineering sample ones .. some of those were of xeon ES types instead of pre-980 ES, and for them such compatibility was claimed (after updating BIOS). IIRC those were samples of what are 6core x56{4|5|7|8}0 xeons (for upto dual cpu motherboards?) now.
tiny update.. last part finally here, build should be finally done in 2-3 weeks, will do big update at that time.
