Project BSG Scorpion Fleet Shipyards (Lian Li PC-A77B)

IM sure you would notice a difference in overall temps if you try and hold off on the 45 and 90 degree fittings, try and use as least as possible.. I really only use them when the timings right, for rad or reservoir, hardly ever for chipset, mosfets etc..

Don't know if it would make that much difference.

Between revision 1.0 and 1.1 I've removed ~14 90 degree fittings (12 out of them were in the EK sli link) and it didn't make much difference in the flow at all.

Right now I have only total 3x90 and quite a lot of 45 but I've seen somewhere tests that 45 do not affect the flow much so I don't think this would improve a lot - beside 45s would be replaced by similar bends in the tubing.

hhhuh, question: if your temps are good, if your rig's silent and the pump doesn't get too hot (which would mean that it's struggling doing its job) i don't see the need of having 500l/min in your loop?!

(in the end it's not really a question but whatever )

Haha yeah I know I could settle with what I have but then the question will remain unanswered - could I get more flow --> better temps --> better OC?

That's the thing with OC, WC and other stuff, you always want a bit more, improve, etc. I'm sure you've been there

My wife asked me recently if I am actually going to use all that hardware, I have to say she has a point

[josk1]

if you have too much of it, i can give you my address
more seriously... 4,92GHz on water... i'm not sure you'd get more!!

This was with 1.55v and I would be seriously scared to go any higher with volts so yeah 4.92 is my ceilining

updates lukey boy updates , me want to see haha!

Patience my friend

Want to run some benches and check temps before tallying up 1.3, not far now

aighht, woot

Sneak peak at the first sponsored part before it lands in the rig

Many thanks to DarthBeavis and DangerDen!

[Johnny87au]

oh nice, cant wait to get my new build up and running, wonder if i'll get some sponsors hehe

[luke997]

Have run some benches last night, temps are much better (both water and chips), now delta never goes over 7C.

What's most interesting, with the parallel GPU setup I have very even max temps on each card (previously was 3-4C difference).


3-SLI Vantage P 47104 PhysX OFF

2-SLI Vantage P 39977 PhysX OFF

1 GTX480 Vantage P 26125 PhysX OFF

Nice scores!

Just a question, what do you think about the fans? Are they silent (compared to the efficiency)? I heard some stuff about wierd noise, like a squeaking sound, true?

I like them, they push good air, are not noisy and black

Never heard any squeaking noise but I gues you could have it if a mouse got into it

looks good luke, ur build not finished yet? just checking all the subb'd threads im subbd too hehe, Them scores you posted those of default clocks?

I've completed last review but has been lazy with the pics <sorry> but don't blame me too much, after all the time spent on the project now when I get an odd hour or 2 I now spend it playing/benching rather than tinkering

The benches are for OC'd cards and I have improved since last post:

3 SLI 47951

2 SLI 40951

1 card 26405

I like though High preset score for 3 SLI most:

3 SLI High 40247

Obviously all with PhysX OFF.

Fun run with PhysX ON:
3 SLI 55141 PhysX ON

[ScottALot]

Wow, it's almost half the performance increase between 2 and 3 than 1 and 2 way SLI.

Small HDD update - Crucial C300 in & cloned, happy with the results, very impressive gains:

Before - Intel G2 160GB SATA II:


Now - Crucial C300 256GB SATA III:


With new drive PC Mark Vantage score went up 5K to 24000:

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?pcmv=364754

Last ...and least... WEI up from 7.6 to 7.9

[luke997]

Pushed the CPU some more today. Not ready for the 5ghz yet though

[josk1]

WOW!!! is that under water only ??
that's insane!!!
love it!

dude, do you have new shots of your build?

Yes, just water

Must be a good batch as it's not burning yet

I hope to make some more shots today.

Finally got some time to make Rev. 1.4 photos:























Couldn't resist to make photos of F1 2010. Amazing game!
Here's Renault's Kubica at the start:



Here's half a lap later - first ahead of Vettel

hahaa nice on lukey boy! Might do a external rad setup like that, Where did you route the cables from your fans? Im guessing extensions?? ALso ur monitors look like 3d's?

Thanks

Cables were long enough to reach the inside through to opening in the side panel I did for this.

Yes, monitors are 3D and it's a lot of fun

This PC is build by Polish guy

BIG UP !
