Xeon L5640 @ 3.4
24gb (6x4) Corsair Dominator
MSI R7970 3gb

Well, I wasnt aware there were any leak issues. I will keep an eye on it for sure. I would have rather had a HK block to match my CPU, but they dont make one for my card. I really didnt want to...

The name is supposed to be some sort of oxymoron. The idea behind the build was keep it understated and not too flashy, but go a little extreme. The hardware isnt anything super fancy, but runs...

Thanks for the tips. I have had the Zalman ones before and they were ok, but in that case my motherboard was inverted so gravity was working in my favor.

I put together a new (to me) system and I am debating on watercooling my 7850 and possibly adding a second one for Xfire. It sounds silly, but I hate having a board with all the open PCI express...

Been a long time since I have been around, but finally put together a quick project last weekend. Of course it is not done, I am tossing around the idea of adding a second 7850 so I can max things...

I have been waiting to buy a 7850 because I'm afraid the one I buy wont accept whatever waterblocks come out.

Is safe to say that the reference designed cards will be supported and if so is...

Too much memory for the card? I was just looking at the extra vram helping out in future games, however, if its not worth it I will put my money elsewhere. I know that I would be totally happy with...

Thinking about picking up some of these used to upgrade my 4870s. I have some MCW60s and was hoping I could use Unisink with them. I have heard they are the same pcb as 6950 2gb. I just want to...

I currently have new heads, cam, long tube headers and full magnaflow exhaust..... and when that not enough I just give a little shot of the 'ol laughing gas. Yes it is the 5.0L engine. With all...

Glad to see you are still making progress. Funny thing about worklogs, when I was doing mine something that might take a few hours to get right is posted on here with just a pic or two. Its hard to...

Shazza, I had trouble with the same thing. As you know I ended up not doing a whole lot with it, but I should have. I wasnt even going to try and fill the large holes, an entirely new mid plate...

Good job Shazza, that MB tray will look great. I hate how smugded up the aluminum gets while your working with it, but since you are painting its no big deal.

Nice work, and I am glad you found out about the self etching primer it makes a big difference. I figured you would have done your research.

I just wanted to post an update on my temps. Ambient temps dropped to about 70F and while I was P95ing and getting this thing stable my temps were about 36C at idle and 60C under load. I add 3 more...

I am sure you will do fine. Will you be using rattle cans, airbrush, etc. I dont want to insult your intellegence because I dont know you, but find some self etching primer for that bare aluminum....

I have a question and it was probably answered but I need it in lamens terms. I have a HK 3.0 LT and I have a reverse atx case( A+ Black Perl) and essentially mounted the block upside down the on...

Looks like a nice block with some good options for those that like compressioin fittings. I just bought a HK 3.0 LT so I will have to hold off to upgrade my block for a while. Next loop my have to...

I have dropped back under 3.7 and things are much better. Right now I am running 8x450 and things seem good, but there is more testing. I find that when I oc I usually start adding voltage when I...

Im trying to determine if my system is overloading my psu. I have a 700W Seasonic psu.

I am powering:
Q6600@3.7
Asus Rampage Formula
2x4gb Patriot Ram
3 HDD
2x4870 1gb

Water cooling:

I used those fittings with 7/16 masterkleer. No clamps needed. Fittings are very nice

What case is it? It is a Tagan(A+) Black Pearl. Custom side panels, and I modded the fan controller into the front.

I guess I can add mine now that its mostly finished and functional.

Something else I just found out. I took the side panel off of my computer and it in about 10min my idle temps have dropped to 4C at idle. It is pretty obvious my the intake side of things are just...

This is sorta of a dumb question, but all my fans should match correct? If I went with a higher cfm fan on top my rads now I am sure it would have a wierd effect on the other fans.
