New Thermochill 120.3 Shrouds

To make the beast even beastlier (if that's possible?) I just received my 2 new shrouds for my 120.3 ordered from here: http://store.over-clock.com/ThermoChill.html They provide 40mm distance from fan to rad, old shrouds were a joke in comparrison, maybe 10mm. Fans seem quieter and temps seem very good. Now for some pics:

And the current stable OC :D

Wow... is your radiator effectiveness now less than 0.015 C/W with that new shroud and those 6 fans at 12V? :slobber:


You sure have got an amazing setup... mountainmods.com case, Iwaki RD-30 (at 18V?), Storm G5 (you'll get a G6 in the future? :D ), a 120.3 with a big shroud and 6 Sanyo Denki San Ace fans (at 7V?), a T-line, a GPU-block I don't recognise so fast (Silverprop?), and some distilled water + HydrX?


And of course a great overclock. :toast:

As always an awesome setup niksub. Did your overclock improve with the shroud? And what fans are those and at what voltage?

The .015 C/W was with only 3 fans... Guessing here, but with my 6 and these shrouds would likely be at .011 or so? RD-30 is at 24v, fans at 7v, and yes, Fusion HL GPU block.

Fans are Sanyo Denki's. OC impoved due to new CPU :D My 2 other CPU's maxed out at 4.3 and 4.2, this one is destined for 5Ghz on water. ;)

What volts on those fans? 7v? If 12v they must be loud no?

Oh and I love how you have all this expensive equipment, and a 9800 XT. :P

7v yes mostly. Yeah, well my 9800XT fried, lol. This is a 9800 Pro hehe. More than I need though, I only play WOW and battle.net

WOW is quite intensive I here though. I bet your cpu makes up for a lot though hehe. I have a X800 XT PE that does 590/590 on stock cooling/stock volts that I'd let go for the right price hehe. :)

ERr, this is insane!

Let's see 5GHz right here!

Hot damn, thats a nice looking setup you have there. Pretty insane o/c on the cpu too!

gimme gimme

im tempted by that shroud myself infact, im cureently using hte standard things you were using plus a gutted 120mm fan as a stand off

tho i havent gasket'ed it or anything

G5 block whered you get that on LR website theyre only on G4 and their sold out =(. I really want a G5 or G6.

Ive had the block for about 5 months now...

is that 4.7ghz just the improved result of changing shrouds ?

hmmm might get these shrouds for my 2x thermochill 120.3 later :)

Nikhsub1... I was wondering how much it cost total plus shipping for them? You had these shipped to the US right? I was thining of ordering a pair for my 120.3 also.

Cool setup. Whats the case you are using?

G6? :stick: :confused:

Btw, how's the overclock coming nik?

All the way at the bottom G6

Interesting. Looks like we won't see cathar's next block till atleast G7 then and it'll have to be more cost-effective than G6 if it will enter production as G6 is in cathar's words too complex and not cost effective, especially for the relatively meager performance gains. I'm eager for G7. :toast:

That shop is awesome when living in Denmark shipping price for that shroud is 0,92£ the national danish shipping price for the same is 4,65£! I have just ordered one for mine :) When I look at your results it seems as a good idea ;)

So there is no confusion, the shrouds did not create the OC... That is a new CPU that went into the rig at the same time as the shrouds. IIRC, the 2 shrouds with shipping from UK to me were about $60 or so, not cheap.
