Sunyakits,

Listen to Naekuh. You are just recirculating the heated up liquid between gpu1 and gpu 2. With a large temp delta between gpu1 and gpu2, you are prone to video crashes.

While you are at it, you are killing the head pressure, which is really ultimately what's important to cool your video cards. That parallel setup you have there does not work as well, and you are wasting the entire water cooling effort. If you really want a parallel setup, get two pumps and two radiators, with Y junctions coming off the reservoir.

You appear to be driven by looks rather than performance. Who cares about how it performs as long as it looks coll, right? The whole forum is headed that direction as well.

Number Three here. IT DOESN'T WORK

You said you had the first card setup as inlet outlet, and connected to the second card.

I said no such thing.

You're looking at a picture right in this post. I don't see what further evidence I could provide, aside from some screenshots showing temperatures which I could not prove came from my machine. DB knows what he's doing and he did not say this setup doesn't work. He said a similar setup that he had seen did not work, which is something entirely different.

I appreciate that, but it seems to me like you're just being argumentative. I have told you several times that I am using this setup right now, and that it works exactly as I have described. I have absolutely nothing to gain from lying. If you can't believe me, there is nothing I can do about that. If you tried this setup exactly as I have it outlined here, then you would have been successful and had similar results.

There is no need to be insulting.

I will not discuss this further. Either you believe that it works, or not. :rolleyes:

Indeed. I need to finish this damn thing up :ROTF:

Here is something I've been working on, it's going to be a fan filter for the radiator assembly.

I used the software from www.emachineshop.com to design it, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna pay over $200 for a single sheet of acrylic. I found another place that does custom laser cutting, www.customlasercutting.com and their prices are very reasonable.

Once I get this finished up I'll move on to the i-Ram bracket, but I'mma need to buy a micrometer and do a lot of measuring before then :p:

Thanks man! Yours is looking good too!

I was wondering if that Magicool Extreme 4x120 rad would work in this case. Does it line up without modification?

Also I like the VFD MediaThingyJob you've installed. I thought about buying that for mine but I read some unfavorable reviews ... how do you like it? :shrug:

My Badass 4x4

I wanted to make a custom fan guard/filter that I could install as a single piece inside the case in front of my radiator assembly. I started digging around and came up with www.emachineshop.com. They have this free CAD software that's pretty easy to use, and provide a service to create whatever you build using their online machine shop.

Their software is easy to use, but other than that it's straight-up dogpoop. Crashes all the time, really slow, I could go on ... but ultimately it got the job done.

I then found www.customlasercutting.com, who offered much more reasonable prices for custom laser-cut plastics. I decided to go ahead and use them so I sent them a .dxf file of my design and they responded very quickly over email. I asked for a quote last Sunday, and I had the part in less than a week. Now that is some good service!

I ordered 2 of these for $149, including shipping. I got an extra just in case I broke one, but it turns out that the parts are extremely strong and I now realize that was totally unnecessary. Live and learn I guess ...

Anybody need a 4x4 fan guard? $40 shipped!

Have a look:

Here is the design in their crappy CAD program

Here is what I received from customlasercutting.com

A close-up of the cuts. Here you can see the kerf width is super small

Everything just falls right out after you remove the tape

Sheets of acrylic are extruded between rollers using a tape-like film, so you have to remove that as well

Everything came out perfect!

More soon ...

Catching up

I was very excited about these iRams as they offered absolute saturation of the SATA-1 bus, with near-zero latency. I was going to use 2 in RAID 0 for a total of ~7Gb of useable space. This is enough for Win XP and a pagefile but not much else. I had 2 Raptors in RAID 0 that I would use for game installs and such ...

Turns out this was a big waste of time and I have since moved on. Just trying to get caught up to where I am right now in the build ...

If you want to read about my iRam debacle, have a look:

So here we are making some progress!

I've opted to use 3 Samsung 32Gb Sata-II SSD (MCBQE32G5MPP-0VA00) in a RAID 0 configuration.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...E32G5MPP-0VA00

Using the built-in controller, performance is stellar for gaming and general use. I would have used a dedicated RAID card but I'd have to re-engineer the SB water block, and I've already spent too much time on this build

... Right now this will do :-)

That looks nice :) I hope that you are going to paint the inside as well? Otherwise it's looking a little bit simple.

Yeah I'm pretty stoked with 'em. They're really really fast :p:

I just finished playing Mass Effect on this beast. Overall, I'm pleased with the performance. Everything runs smooth as butter, loading is ultra fast, and the machine has been really reliable despite the nearly 50% overclock.

Do they still sell the mozart tx, I remembering it having the perfect amount of space for a watercooling system. But Everywhere in canada doesn't sell it anymore.

It also a good price. And still kind of clean and reasonable looking. Unlike mountain mods. Tonnes of room but way to much flash.
