Dang you, NaeKuh. First, you revive this dead thread. I really need to do some clean up on this build and retake photos, and now I'm feeling guilty again. Second, you know I am itching to try out the new chip. BUT, I must be strong ... want to finish the Torture Rack before I go on vacation.
unlocked D0 goodness...
sorry the dark side is too great this time shazza... now u see why i always lose... :rofl:
I have resisted. Worked ALL DAY on the Torture Rack.
BTW, what does "unlocked" mean :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
golly.Quote:

LOL ... just trying to give NaeKuh a heart attack. Although I'm no OC'ing expert, even I know what an unlocked multiplier is :ROTF:Quote:

Unless u get into the dual cpu boards where there is only 1 unlocked D0.
And my sig lists 2 of them, and its the one thats not on my sig.
So u guys should figure it out by now. :P
I have two of the 965 D0's ;)Quote:

Please tell me u set the multi higher then 22! :rofl:
u need VTT for these badboys.
Roughly around 1.375 - 1.4 to hold HT ON @ 4.2+
When i was playing with your chip for a little bit, i had hold 4.4 at 1.3875 Vcore + 1.86 PLL + 1.375 QPI. /w HT On.
But i was on a classy.
Shazza u need to play with that multi. EE chips tend to have walls on multi's and FSB. So you need to jump around multi's and see which one it likes at what fsb.
Yep ... I've been researching, and I'll be playing some more. Thanks for the info. I don't think the regular x58 should hold me back much.
But ... while I want some higher clocks for benching, my real goal was to generate less heat during the summer months with respectable performance. So I'm already a head of the game. And yes, I moved away from the 22 multipliers quite early :)
This one did make me laugh!Quote:

What do you have your SSDs in?
Shazza-
Question for you..
Have you by chance ever taken a full load power measurement for your MM comp?
Curious if the Corsair 1000 has been Ok with 3x 285 SLI, i7, 3x pumps, etc.
I'm spec'ing out a similar build and was going to go with one of the various CWT 1200W units, but the Corsair is also a CWT based unit and has slightly nicer aesthetics and exterior build finish than some of the 1200W ones.
TIA for any feedback :up:
Shazza: Pleaaaaaaase to a "boutique photoshoot". Pleaaaaaaaaase!!!!!
Hi Monkeypillow. Those are just regular HDs, but they are in a bay holder made by SytrinQuote:

All I can tell you is I haven't had any power issues. The system has been on for months 24/7, crunching at 100%CPU load. My gaming is at 2560x1600 with everything pretty well maxed out - no issues after hours of FO3. No problems running bench tests / OCCT / etc. I have a Killawatt meter, but haven't hooked it up.Quote:

I don't know, but I think: Yes you can :D
Awesome, thanks Shazza!
I'm aware that I'm totally resurrecting and old thread :p but i just wanted to say how nice this build looks, kind of makes me want a mm cube, or a lian li pc-343b horizontal, i'm not sure
one of my all-time favs.
Agreed. This build makes me wish I had done more research and bought a mountain mods CYO instead of the 800D Obsidian.Quote:

http://shazza53.smugmug.com/Computer...52_c3r7a-M.jpg
Makes me very sad (and guilty, knowing that there's some serious crunching power going unused atm). Some clean-up to do before it goes back together ---
http://shazza53.smugmug.com/Computer...56_Dt4nQ-M.jpg
Those GPU Water blocks are going to be a pain to clean (flushing alone does not do it). I have to take them apart - and getting the o-rings back in is a PITA. Given I have 3 of them, I'm not looking forward to it.
http://shazza53.smugmug.com/Computer...54_QzfhE-M.jpg
I showed these pics in my other work log, but will include them here to complete the story. My GTZ, after running for months 24/7 at full load with Feser One blue:
http://shazza53.smugmug.com/Computer...33_DQYwv-M.jpg
http://shazza53.smugmug.com/Computer...57_bwXki-M.jpg
There is definitely some build-up from the dye in the block - but some of the residue is also (I'm pretty sure) caused by some loose tissue bits leftover from my radiator painting escapade. All in all - no where near as bad as others have seen.
Still - the moral of the story is - use colored coolants only if you are willing to bear the pain of cleaning components regularly, and monitor closely for any flow/performance hits (which I never saw).
The Black Box will live again - just haven't decided what form it will take. And, I, ummm, have another project or two I should be getting back to.
:confused::cord::cool:
why shazza, if you give those gpu's and blocks to me, you won't have to clean them :rofl:
you've got me wondering about my GTZ right now.. ive had Acid Green F1 in it for 7 months now...
Probably in the same condition as Shazza's ;)
Any luck cleaning this, Shazza, or have you been too busy with the black pearl?
Acckkkk - thread from the dead ;)
No problem cleaning the reservoirs and GTZ block. The GPU blocks are a whole different story - the rinse reasonably clean, but really have to take them apart to get all the staining out - and it's a major PITA to get the o-rings in correctly. The easy way out is just to use them with red coolant again ...
back from the dead? Only one month. You can't even call that a coma :P.
just a little message to say how much i love your rig shazza !
Very clean , and well organized :)
Just peeping in to check out the resurrected party. :D
A Zombie party, and a pirate shows up? Where's yer invitation?
hehe
Invitation?
<points to self> Pirate... </points to self>
Donīt make me call in the ninja bouncer!
*epic fight commences*
Sounds to me like you have more projects in progress than you have time to keep up with.
The more times I see gunk from Feser One, Primochill, etc., the more I am convinced that I am going to stick with plain distilled even though their color looks nice.
Shazza, I have what I feel is an easy solution to your o-ring issue.Quote:

As for technique, I would lay out the o-ring close to where the groove was if not already in it, and run a finger along the path of the groove to direct the o-ring into it. If they're damp, they should stick.
O-rings will also hold a shape, if you hold them there for a couple minutes
arggghhh ... may have to delete this thread so it stops haunting me :p:
Yep - I have tried all of the above methods for putting the o-rings back in, and also tried tightening one screw at a time and gently poking the o-ring back in place with a toothpick. I can get it back in - it's just not my favorite thing to do.
have you tried a bit of vasloline to hold them in place?...it works well and can easily be cleaned from the outsides with just warm water and soap...just a couple dabs will hold them in place
It's a shazza party, my invitation musta been lost in the mail.
