Yea, the C300 is a few years old.

i'm looking at the Samsung 850 EVO 1 TB drive. It appears to come with an installaion CD (Crucial SSD doesn't come with any installation CD).

My Micron SSD...

Both my Micron C400 SSD HD's are toast. I can format them due to lack of available drivers from Crucial. Appearnetly of you have to format the SSD it goes into the trash and you have to buy a new...

Thanks guys :up:

That actually got me pointed in the right direction. I'm educating myself on the best approach here.

Anyone?

I'm about to start my new water cooled system and want to test how effective my cooling system is. The system is an I7 950 Asus R3F with 12 Gigs of RAM and an Nvidia Quadro 2000 video card. I plan on...

Yea, I'm really stoked :cheer:

Can the firmware be flashed over with new updates? My understanding is there was a few bugs in the C300 drive. I wonder if there are any hiccups with this drive...

I just received my 256M C400 yesterday from Superbiiz at $444 and installed it in my new water cooled rig. Last piece needed before I fire-up the system for the first time (I7 950 on an Asus R3F w/12...

Are you going to fold-up the sheet metal yourself? Even with a bend break getting the panels to line-up and flanges to meet can be a challenge If possible only drill the holes that reside on a...

I thought we had gone over this topic. Churchy had remarked to the reservoir and pump placement but I guess I need to clarify.

I'm not sure about you but pumps should always be placed as low as...

No problem man I'm getting use to it :)

I hope your right on the cooling capacity which I wanted to maximize with the available space. But from what I've seen on this site I think there are quite...

Thanks Churchy, I'll look into that.

That C-400 ain't cheap. I've been looking that the read/write speeds and it appears the Micron SSD seems to be on top in most categories. I like to keep on top...

Thanks for the kind words

The hardest part was researching, selecting and sourcing all the components. After the build all I had left was an extra "Y" adapter and (2) 1/2" barb fittings which...

Like I stated, how the water sees the loop is much different then how a person sees it. For a given cycle the water only sees one block not three. The path is much shorter.




Churchy, I will...

I was/am considering mounting the SSD near the MB. My current location places it in the coolest section in the chassis where the intake air enters the box. I did not want to mount it in...

If that's the case then there is no benefit running a parallel loop other then a little less flow resistance. I though the water temp would drop quite a bit more then that between the inlet and...

This is good to know. Since this is my first water cooled system so I don't have a handle on what temperatures I am dealing with but what you’re stating makes sense. I want to keep the system as...

I generated a serial cooling circuit of my system the way I think is typically done.

As you can see having the...

I didn't realize you were building an 800 chassis. Any updates? I feel your pain regarding shoe horning rads into this box :shakes:

The air was purged from the system which was quite easy to do long before the pump was even powered so that it not being self priming is a non-issue. That and the fact the pump is at the lowest point...

Here is the cooling circuit

I'm not sure if you caught some of the responses before the admin blanked their posts but it was pretty bad and was poisoning my thread. I don't mind taking a few jabs but at least they could use a...

LOL

Being this is a CAD workstation when it's up an running I can model the chassis and run a CFD program on itself and see how well I did :scope:

Running a thermal analysis program will bring...

My top priority was to optimize the cooling efficiency where the esthetics was a few rungs down the latter. I plan on overclocking the MB and want to maximize the amount of heat the system...

Crank the fan controller to "eleven" and how :eek: Back it off a little and it's quieter then my air cooled systems.
