Hi guys.

Not been on her for a very long time, so hello to anybody who remembers me :D
If you need any help overclocking socket A or soldering (I doubt many of you guys do that any more :P ) im...

You may still be able to use a non SMD component as long as the legs can be bent into a position to make it fit, this may be more difficult than fitting an SMD version if the legs are very short.

From the picture it looks ok (tubing isnt kinked)

However if you are worried there is too much tension on the tube then you should reroute it.
If the mosfet block isn't held securely then you...

For the HX the outer tubing wont have any impact on cooling performance, so use whatever you want.
Remember the you need high flowrate through the heat exchanger or it will ice up, the Iwaki will...

Im also using 7/16th over 1/2" without clamps.

It is hard to pull the tubing off so I tend to gently cut the tube to get it off.

If you take your time cuttign the tubing straight then it looks...

I think the way the OP is playing is different to me.

I prefer to carry as little as possible.
That way you can pick up a decent amount of stuff and not get overladen.
You dont need to carry...

Thats what I would do :D

If its oxidation and you dont mind if its not SHINY SHINY then leave it as is.

There wont be any performance drop at all.

When I first saw your pics I thought "he...

I would be tempted to go the filter route.

I think it will be just as hard to build a separate PSU that will give the clean supply you need as it will be to clean up the pretty good 12v from the...

Those screws must be a standard thread. You should be able to buy some replacements from somewhere.

Sorry, I dont know where I got Evga from, must have got my threads confused.. what i meant was manufacturer :)

With some care and the right tools that card can be easily repaired.

Best bet is to find somebody on XS with the right skills or contact EVGA and explain what you have done and ask if they can...

This would do the job reasonably well.
...

You can buy a meanwell supply that is small enough to fit in a case, but they are not adjustable.

I use a lowe PSU that is 5-15v adjustable and will run upto 40amps, but its too big to fit in a...

To get the best efficiency you can drop the voltage.
This is one reason to buy an external adjustable PSU as you can tune the voltage to keep the hot side temperatures in the right range.
If the...

That PDF is very useful.

If you look at the 30degree potted graph you can see how the hot side temperature affects the amount of heat you can take out of the water.

If you can keep the hot...

These sorts of air cooled pelts are very difficult to setup properly.

A 240watt peltier wont even get close to cooling the components in your system, so dont worry about it being too large.

The...

Unless you have calibrated your sensors they are probably only accurate +/- 2*C

There shouldn't be any difference because of how skinnee tests.

If you include the restriction of the VRM block in the results then they will be much harder to interpret (as the PQ curve will only...

I would buy the CPUs and boot it up before you install the waterblocks and lose the warranty.

I always boot my new systems up on aircooling outside of the case to make sure everything works before...

Thanks for making a start :D

Its well worth including the FC block as this will be one of the most interesting comparisons.

Many of the core only blocks are a more complex design and they look...

This is what i use.

You can also buy a similar thing that includes an inline temperature...

Everybody has different methods for finding the best clocks.

I tend to try and isolate CPU, memory and chipset to find the max for each and then work out the best multiplier, htt and ram divider...

You just need a longer piece of tube in that position.
Swapping the tubing over on both the mosfet blocks sounds like a good move.
That will also stop the tube that is exiting the mosfets from...

Ahhh, the 1980's bit explains alot. The cap size, the old looking design and the ancient components from manufacturers that went bust long ago also the lack of PDF documentation :D :D

The modern...

I dont know why jonny has never heard of sparkle before.

I have had several sparkles over the years and they have all been pretty good. Its nice to see them back in the high end market with a...
