H20 | Phenom II 955/965 | Help

[ridney]

now that's pretty good looking rig dave! for me, it doesn't really matter what other people say about my rig, if it works for me and makes me happy then i'm cool! here's a photo of my rig when it all started



and some chilled water runs lol

[64NOMIS]

38 Hours.

[Buckeye]

Should I post TWKR at load?

I come from the matrix I can dodge bullets and disqualifications maybe I should try some tests out with this new toy..



Muu wahahahaha

That thing is a Monster Chew

I believe it will not only cool your computer, but also the whole house down to a nice chilly temp

600 CFM of cold air blast hitting you in the face

We will start calling Chew... Nanuke

Dave, contributing to the clean car competition as well?

Looking good, now make it look good and perform at the same time mate.

You're the MASTER Zeus! Not sure I have the patience, and I know I don't have the skills... Your an Artist in my book...

Anyway, I pushed the frankenbox a little farther tonight and will try to offer up more accurate results for the water temps.

Heres a shot before I started the Prime run (I had a few crashes before tweaking clocks, fire up water temp was ~23c):



Heres a SS from early on in the Prime run:


Almost +100 on the core and >200Mhz on the IMC... (SWEET!)
I did have to bump the IMC V's to 1.325, no big deal...

Here's the water temp toward the end of the Prime run:


Heres a SS from the end of P95:


Yeah... thats 45 minutes, Hope thats Ok...

Last photo, this is after 10 minutes of cool down:


It may be ugly, but my ghetto WC unit seems to hold it's own...

Thanks for this thread 64NOMIS, if nothing else you made me push a little harder and I'm pretty sure I found my NEW stable clocks...

p.s. I'm still gonna try and make the external box look a little better.

7C swing from idle to load! WOW! You make my aircooler weep!
good job dave! franken-ugly is beautiful for me!

[Daveburt714]

Thanks wuttz,

I'm an old timer... I built this thing when water cooling was considered Extreme and Crazy. Back then you couldn't even find a 12v pump with decent volume...
Thats why I went with a 120v/250 GPH pond pump and used a 12v relay to turn it on with the system...

It still does what I need it to do. This X2 550 still blows me away though!
I'm not really a crazy, High Voltage OC'er, but for a $100 chip this thing absolutely ROCKS!

I think I hit the chip lottery for once...

There are folks with store bought WC and 955's that can't Prime @ 3.9/2.7 for 45 minutes...

Beautiful results Daveburt 714. Extra effort noted. Very helpful!

Closes in 4 hours.

I make shifted my water cooler on my Skeliton case... I am actually looking worse off then on my Xigmatek. I don't have a temp probe or anything.

As promised, hope it will help you in one way or another

MB: Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P (stock board, bios f3m)
CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 955
RAM: OCZ Platinum 2x2Gb (OCZ3P16004GK 1.9v kit)
GPU: Force 3D ATI HD 4870x2 (stock card, just replaced the TIM)
Sound: SB X-Fi Titanium
PSU: Chieftec CFT 1200G-DF
And running Vista Ultimate 32bit atm.

TRUE copper with two Ultra kaze 3k rpm on the CPU +modified back plate and a variant of the washer mod. Used Coollaboratory Liquid Pro as TIM during these tests, have only used it for a few days now, but are quite impressed by it so far
Salvaged 60mm fans for PWM, RAM and SB. And a pair of slot coolers to aid the 4870x2, cheap and surprisingly effective for the task, and doesn’t interrupt the airflow for the Ultra Kazes on the CPU, they really like some room to breathe to cut back on the noise they generate. Also some random 120mm fans semi-strategically placed.

Ambient temp was 24C, best I could do at the time..

Clock/voltage/ram settings:



CPU status under p95 load at 30min mark:


Board status under p95 load at 30min mark:


~45 sec idle after p95 run:


~80sec idle after p95 run:


CPU status fully idle at desktop (a couple minutes after p95 run):


Board status fully idle at desktop (a couple minutes after p95 run):

how much time left...I am priming as we speak.,
Edit: I lost the fight @ 4ghz. I am doing 3.9 now. Temps look good, my chip just doesn't wanna do it today under water.

I am still priming, here is some of the pics.

system



System priming...can't see the first real well, sorry...



idle all stock



Fan Speed



Specs



Diagram page



Temps 5mins during prime



temps 47mins in on Prime



1hr 3.9ghz Prime



3.9ghz temp about 10 mins after Prime (actually 7)



Well, There you go. I am going back to my air setup.

[Daveburt714]

Charged, is your Vcore displaying correctly?

I know you were talking about seeing how low you could go...
If thats right and your actually getting 3.9Ghz with only 1.35v that's impressive!!

My 550 just loves volts.

Oops, I forgot a page LOL, I wish i could do that on 1.35v. It was 1.45-1.46 ish. let me find that screen shot, I knew I forgot something. I still think I did better on air, I must have had a better mount. My 550 is that same as yours, it love v's

Worth a shot.... Do the "cautions" mean something?

[acebmxer]

Here's my contribution to this thread:

Pics of the system






Ghetto temp gauge in the reservoir



Fan speed reading from my OC station, can't get a software reading as it's hardwired to the oc station fan controller



Full load-- Prime 95 Blend





Screen full load



Temps during Prime, above is watertemp, temp below is ambient



After letting it sit idle for 10 minutes



Screen after 10 minutes idle



Watercooling consists:

Heatkiller 3.0 LT cpu block
EK 4800 series FC vga block
Laing DDC 2+ waterpump
Thermochill PA 120.2 & PA 120.3 radiators with Yate Loon D12SL fans @ 1350 rpm
EK 200mm reservoir
Tygon R3400 10/13mm tubing

Hope it's good enough.

Looks great. What case is that by the way?

[Zeus]

Even though it was a bit unnecessary to quote all pics (maybe you can edit?), thank for your compliment.

The case is a Silverstone TJ-07, powdercoated and modded.

Simon, can you give us a little insight in what you're going to do with all this info? I'm real curious.

prolly gathering data for the next hsf design, Phenom II 975 @ 3.6GHz?

Stock watercooled? Oh yeah!

I thought no one would ever ask.

Yes, I can....

I am building a doomsday machine.

But first a little story. Sometimes I get questions from would-be terrorists. They ask questions like "can I connect 30 systems using using an extended crossfire link which you will send to me for which we will gladly compensate you 100,000 US deposite in your bank account upon receipt of a $15,000 US research and development grant and two weeks development time which you will deposite within 72 hours to our bank account?"

...but you are going to have to wait a little while.
