Fitseries, with the NB-max NB waterblock is there still enough room to put a different sound card in the top pci-e 1x slot?? Or does anyone know if the EK block would allow this??

there seems to be a problem with patriot tri channels kits and this board...
one of the modules is not detected by the bios, nor windows, but cpuz has no problem seeing it...this is with the lastest bios....
a quick look at patriots forums, tells me i am not the first qith this problem, just a heads up...
all modules work fine on single or dual channel config....

"Wow, nice dual 16x! MSI? no thanks"
4.3 is pretty good for 24/7 stable considering max 3d benchable seems to be in the area of 5ghz
that's also what I get with my chip (albeit at slightly lower voltages, and haven't exactly been doing monster P95 runs) which i have benched subzero at 5ghz, so i don't think you have a bum chip.
I'm reviewing a patriot kit atm, a Viper 1600mhz CL9?Originally Posted by thelostrican
It doesnt clock very well, but I haven't had any problems like that.
what bios are you using?
mine clock well...but no tri channel

i mean, they boot with 1700ish with stock timings at 1.8v, but that's about it. no amount of voltage or qpi/dram will get them further. what are you getting?
i am using that bios, i will try a corsair tri kit tomorrow.
mine do 1800 ish with 1.65...
but its dual channels no tri....
tomorrow i will try the corsair kit and test the patriot kit on a p6t i got here...
hopefully i can get to the bottom of this...
there are a few post on patriot forum and asus with the same problem...nothing out of this world....

yes there is plenty of room.
Interesting. I'll try dual chan then, see if that gets anywhere. and that's with the stock timings? (which are loose to begin with)i am using that bios, i will try a corsair tri kit tomorrow.

I've got the swiftech NB waterblock on mine and there IS NOT room for an x-fi sound card so I don't know how you hooked it up to your northbridge
i have a dlink wifi card in that slot and it sits right next to the NB block. does the xfi have caps and whatnot on the back of the card?
stock timings using 2n=2t
which is their setting, 1t will run fine till 1700ish...or so might be little less i really didnt push them as i was mad about the tri channel...

No, the x-fi doesnt have caps on the back. I modded my nb so the xfi would fit, but I would rather have a nb block like i had on my 790i Ultra and use the first 1x slot since I plan to do Tri-sli when 55nm comes out. I currently have Quad Sli and I can put it in the bottom slot or the top slot.....I am going to add a dual loop on my rig next week by adding a HW GtX240 rad for my CPU and NB on the top of my Lian-li PC-p80 case and a loop for my graphics cards on the HW gtx480 rad for my graphics cards. I think this will lower my temps, since currently the 480mm rad cools everything in my loop....cpu, and dual 9800gx2's...Any suggestions on what resorvoirs i should use for each loop? I use a swifteck micro-res right now for the single loop....Oh, by the way fitseries, my 920 does 20x200 with turbo on and ht off, but will bue screen after about 5 hours........If I trun HT on it shows 4.ghz, but when I start prime 95 it goes down automatically to 4ghz! Does anyone have this issue also??

i cant run 4ghz with HT on for very long at all.
the way i found that does work is use 19x218(my max bclk) and it benches fine.
for some reason i need WAY more volts than everyone else to get the cpu stable though.
has anyone messed with pll?
Yeah, I need about 1.5v to do 4ghz(4.2 with Turbo on) but it still will bsod between 5 and 7hours in on prime 95. It will downclock to 4.0 from 4.2 with HT on if I run Prime 95....

i need 1.58v for 4.1ghz 19x multi no turbo HT off to get benches to run all the way through
Wow, Thats a ton of voltage!!!I think 1.55 is the max anyone should go....Well, without phase or lnc cooling that is LOL!!

pfffft..... i have chilled water and sometimes i use my 320watt TEC.
I have never tried chilling the water since you have to insulate everything. I will post some pics of my setup when I have my second loop in. The I7 is tooooooo hot to be in a single loop with 2 9800gx2s, even with a 480mm rad!!

Oh, by the way, I picked up an mcp-650 pump for only 29.99! Which is what I will use for a second loop. I know it's noisier that the newer mcp-655, but for $45 less with the same specs otherwise. I can live with the noise and I am sure I won't here it over all the other fans in my PC!

+1
i ran i7 920 @ 4.1ghz 8 hours yesturday and my water temp was ~90f.
thats with ...
2 pa120.3's, iwaki rd30, GTZ and a NB-MAX. rads are cooled by 6 scythe 3k ultra kazes.
Fitseries, So the X-fi should fit with the swiftech waterblock for sure? Even long sound cards will fit?

That Iwaki pump can really push some water, much more than my mcp-655. Seperating the loop should be a lot cooler, though with 2 resorvoirs!! I am just trying to decide what 2 resorvoirs to use.....

i cant promise you anything. honestly i would not try it with a big card.
i undervolt the iwaki to 18v so it runs pretty quiet and has a little less flow than 24v. i found that slowing it down helped keep the cpu cool and more stable.
