This is a sick setup!

[Osterman]

So that noctua heatsink with two Deltas and I dont know which fan is the one in the middle, performs better than a Copper or Megahalem?
And... that megahalem is a megashadow, isn't it?

Yes and yes.

[poparamiro]

Fan in the middle is delta 4000 rpm (not an advantage for NH-D14, in the middle do not fits 38mm fan). I test the delta 5500 rpm aginst the San Ace 6000 rpm and delta is a little better, under 1c.

I have nuch more tests to do (fanless, low rpm etc...), the point is that i test and retest the setups because i want to be sure about the results.

Noctua NH-D14 performs way better than Megashadow and Copper at extreme settings.

Got my Lian Li PC-A05NB friday, so made it into a small project.

- Sleeved the fans and lowered them to 5v.
- Sleeved the top IO-panel wires.
- Sleeved the power, restart and led wires.
- Sleeved the ATX4 extension.
- Routed the powercord extension.
- Scythe Himuros.
- P-clips for routing.

[Chicken Patty]

Yes and yes.

those temps seem a little higher than what they should be, or not? Mine maxed at 79ºc on the mega shadow (4608Mhz @ 1.494v load) with two scythe 110cfm'ers. Mine was on tech station too.

Regardless, sick setup man. Jealous you have the noctua and the mega shadow


I know its not prime 95, but prime 95 on my setup heats up less than anything else. Wprime runs hotter, and Linx/Intel Burn test work the best for me as far as max heat/power consumption.

Well so keep us update please!

Im looking foward to building a WC, I have just sold my TRUE COPPER, so... If I dont build a WC I want something better than TRUE COPPER...


Does someone try 3RSYSTEM ICEAGE 120 BOSS II?
It seems to work pretty good.

[Beloe.]

I have the Aerocool Case, too
But with another front
Normal Front:

Beloe there is nothing there

Thats a silly thing to say. Maybe you're not using the right settings for prime ( small FFT 8 threads ) or you're not letting it run long enough but theres no way wprime 32m will run hotter in 5 sec. And his was using higher voltages.

I just think his temps should be slightly better. Those temps are with the new Noctua cooler right? Also he had some serious airflow going through that cooler. Not saying they are bad though. My screenshot was just for reference.

Under siege

[Hellmann]

we wanna tests!!!

[gatecrasherlok]

That Noctua cooler is a Moster, look at its size compared to the megahalems which itself is not exactly slender

My Previous post was deleted as I took new ones with a better camera

[chickenit]

Shot by camera phone !

[Mungri]

Yea, mine are all taken with camera phones too. I just remembered to charge up my K850i and use that instead of my LG.

Hopefully for my upgrade in July next year, I will be able to get a 12mp Phone with a full keypad, and proper flash, zoom, and focus.

The thing is that any more than 3.2 mp without a proper flash is major pointless, as I learnt with my LG Arena.

I cant be bothered with paying for a seperate camera since I get a subsidised high end Phone every 18 months .

[Laine]

My Lian Li PC-A05NB, cooled by a TRUE Black and three stock Lian Li fans on 5v.
It's 5°C colder then my Antec 300, both in idle and load, and it's quiet too!
My Antec had all slots filled with Fractal Design fans on 12v.

The poor sleeving is stock on the PSU, the rest I've done myself with proper MDPC-X.
Not going to bother with sleeving the rest since it's just a temporary build.

Looks good Chickenit, quite colourfull too.
Though you need to do something about those wires on that testbench.

Hi . My cam is K800i

Hi .Present it like this :

[Kimyy]

And here is mine...









Specs:

Asus P6T Deluxe | Intel Corei7 920 @ 4 GHz | Noctua NH-U12P SE1366 | 3GB OCZ PC12800 | Asus GTX 285 1GB | 2X Samsung Spinpoint F1 1TB | Nexus 850w | Lian-Li PC-60FW

Idle temp is like 29 C.

[pezcore]

Finally got my new case all ready

[illidan]

wow... nicely cut that p183 side panel. white light is so much kooler
with what did u cut that side panel so clean?

Thank you I actually ordered the panel from PugetSystems.com

I didn't want their logo on it, but don't sell it any other way. Luckily, it's not that big and actually not that bad looking. And yes, I'm very glad I went with white light.

VERY happy with this case so far (upgraded from Alienware P1)

[JaccoW]

Hi .Present it like this :

Looks good. You just took the mobotray and put everything together like that?
But are the HDD's on the speaker a good idea?
btw: Onkyo FTW!

I made a few changes recently:
-Removed the red led strips (but might put them back again in the future after some soldering)
-Sprayed the silver backplate matte black
-Got a new mobo. (DFI)

A nice overview:


I also sprayed my aeroslots and pci-expansion slots black:


And a final reflection shot.


Edit: If anyone wants it I can resize the pictures. They are a bit large now.
