Masterg's 3770k

[masterg]

tired of updating my situation inside other threads where it doesnt belong so heres a new one :P

3770k has been stable in terms of the ssd yet power is fluctuating with 4 computers in room + other stuff. Put my 3770k and my e3, combined pull of 258watts, onto a small 625VA UPS so that the small power blips wont effect them anymore.

Transfered my 3770k from my beat up antec sonata 2 into a TT V3. the TT V3 has 2 120s on the top, 1 120 on the back and 1 120 on the door. My H100 cant fit in any of those positions without hitting the motherboard. its ridiculous. If i put the h100 on the top 2 120 slots, it hits the RAM cause the motherboard is at the top of the case. if i try to place the h100 on the rear 1 120, it wont fit because the h100 pipes are hitting the top of the case, both directions tried. if it sits on the door in the designated 120 slot, it hits the psu on the bottom of the case =\ had to zip tie it out of position on the door.

The door is the best place for it to sit now, but now it blocks any chance of me adding my GPU to the setup. spent over 700 on this setup so far and cannot keep putting money on. i have a dremel and a carbide tip, but i cant cut through the steel of the sonata case for the h100, and im wary of destroying the V3 for similar result

The only other solution i can think of is to take my main desktop out of my Lian Li PC-V1000 and put my 3770k inside of it. Getting the 3770k out of the sonata and into the V3 was bad enough. took 3 hours and the computer i pulled out of the V3 isnt even running. cant imagine what a mess it would be doing it to my main desktop

Pardon my nubbery but the H100 is a radiator

H100: all in one 240 rad watercooling setup

Old setup in the Sonata 2:




new setup in the V3. (i got the H100 in a decent spot. Rad and 2 push inside, 2 pull outside )

Linked.

Edit: beat me to it... That actually looks pretty decent. You said it blocked yoru GFX?

it did when i had the push rad and pull inside the case. then i had the idea to put 1 set of fans outside and it was all fine

now i have to take my ssd out and wipe it =\

[masterg]

I am going to wipe the drive tonight to update firmware i didnt feel like doing. If people want me to test anything WCG related or something let me know

[retro77]

Holy smokes, that thing is massive. No wonder they make the Antec 1200

[masterg]

awesome! i get a BSOD while upgrading the firmware xD 0xf4

[masterg]

i have preformat upgrades to do, and the ssd BSOD during the upgrade and now the OS block is gone xD

[retro77]

sounds like a call to tech support is needed. SSD could be bad.

[masterg]

it was a refurb. i got it and plugged it up without checking for updates and firmware and had troubles with it from the start, but i had to get it running for SCW.

[masterg]

all systems are go. back to crunching

[masterg]

systems are back down now. UPS does not like my added graphics card

[D_A]

Tell it it's a pussy and threaten it with replacement

[haschioz]

Tell it it's a pussy and threaten it with replacement

works all the time, I swear!

[masterg]

it is. i dont have money to keep dropping on these things. it was 625VA/375watt. when i did the calculations, that was good enough for my 3770k: 128w and my E3 1235: 115w

but i shut down my q6600 and moved over the GPU to 3770k.

After a few minutes, this created a very very loud constant noise coming from the UPS and took me 10min to find the manual and learn how to reset it xD

(im sure the neighbors even heard it)

[masterg]

lost a lot of potential tasks =\


But my system is now stable

Will the rad fit on top with the fans mounted on the outside in a pull config? That's what I did with one of my smaller cases. I just transferred my 3770k H100 cooled rig into a Corsair 500R though. The case was basically designed for the H100.

btw... my 3770k rig is pulling ~157 from the wall @ 4.4ghz/1.225vcore. All other settings on auto.

when i was upgrading the firmware i was thinking about putting it on the top. but i realized that the meshing on the top was not large enough to feed the outside fan power cables. and that the power cables would: a) need a newly drilled hole b) need an extended to go through the pipe holes in the back c) go through the door or something.

i figured it just wasnt worth me trying

[masterg]

=\ my 3770k host has been reset and im starting from scratch.

and now my 350th ranked GPU with 49million points has also stopped and forced to start over from scratch ; ;

Sounds like some case MODDING is needed!

[masterg]

its steel and my dremel and carbide tip could not bit through the last steel case i had even at 40k RPM.

I always used these tools with my dremel to cut holes in steel cases

Cut through steel fairly easily.

I finally just got a hole saw for my drill and it cuts through any case like butter. Cut the hole for the fan then cut little notches with a jigsaw for the wires or hoses.
