I watched your topic from the beginning, and it's very impressive what you've done there!!
Very lucky to have an i7 platform ;)
So what about your "old" rig?
-
-
Sweet, the "bong build" is still going! :)
Nice batch on your i7; mine's real close to yours. Was running easy today 216bclk x 19 @1.34 vcore. Good luck! :up:
-
bong build :rofl::rofl::rofl:
well exactly
meanwhile i had a little accident with this bong build when i was assembling grafix block

but i plugged the card and it still works :cheer:
don't know what impact this cleavage will have in future, maybe oc or stabilty or maybe just nothing

old rig is gone, sold at quite good price
-
:doh: Doh, that stinks. How'd it happen? Hit it really hard with the cooler or dropped a block on it?
I think you should change the title to 'bong build'. Kindof catchy and will guarantee lots of views! :up:
-
Stacker 832 w/ Dual Loop WaterCooling aka Bong Build, yeah it sounds right :D
Thank u for idea, Headala
Card was just dropped out of table with unscrewed block on it
kinda accident
but it works so my upgrade to 4870x2 delayed :ROTF:
Ready for tubing

And now first loop accomplished:
Laing DDC1-T w/ EK top G3/8 -> D-Tek Fuzion v1-> Thermochill PA120.3 -> Swiftech MCW30 -> EK Res 150

Then second loop assembled:
Laing DDC1-T w/ EK top G3/8 -> EK-FC8800 > Thermochill PA120.2 -> EK Res 150

And sytem ready to be feeled with water and leak tests :banana::banana:

it would be bad ass if u had a coolit Boreas hooked up it the loop :)

time to updates!
did a quick tests running following setup

this whirlpool i use to estimate flow
http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/7/img0328wcr.jpg
and get poor results
fuzion can't keep a temp, same as pwm cooling through the heatpripes and mcw-30
http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/8732/83844235.jpg
running 4200-4400 temps getting even worse
so i have to re-config cooling
this guy goes to south

(part from dfi x-38 lt)
this guy goes to pwm
http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/8567/img0344mux.jpg
and mcw-30 left in nb
for cpu i will use heatkiller lt :up:
get naked

here is one of the reason of poor stock cooling
http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/2041/img0395t.jpg
and finally funny bug from dfi
if connect stock sound card i e bernstein audio, led fan connected to nb connector will lit even if the board shutted down!
officially confirmed :D

next part with reassembled cooling coming soon
be tuned
-
The colour of liquid (pink? red?) is not the best one fot this mobo. Better change it to maybe a black one.
The rest looks nice.
What did DFI did with cooling is .........n/c
-
Interesting color choice. Looks like butterscotch in a lot of the pics. It is nice to see something a bit different.
-
yes guys you are right, colors don't match a bit, and i'm going to completely change color scheme later, powder coat the case etc
meanwhile i'd like to share last pics with dfi
properly watercooled dfi i have to admit :)
here we go

http://img107.imageshack.us/img107/4707/img0444.jpg
after all that and more tests i've learned three issues about this mobo:
1. it is UNCOMPATIBLE with D0 procs at >200 bclk :shocked::shocked::shocked:
2. pwm temp is still very high even with waterblock. it is getting up to 68C with 4300 1.37v
3. it makes loud hissing sounds under load
well so i decided to try smth different, and i'm happy of it :up::up:

I hope this board is better suited to you.

-
I like what you did with the northbridge block ontop of the stock cooler.
Thus cooling everything
Liked that
too bad it diddnt work :(
Awesome build tho
-
yes, with dfi nothing works right except direct airflow
even separate block for pwm barely holds a temp
but with foxconn same scheme works great

45C on NB and 50C on PWM after 10 hrs load in prime\linpack

Just Outstanding work... :clap:
