Water cooling the Asus Maximus SE X38

[Scooby]

Shipping almost anywhere this time of year is alway backed-up. I'm sure you guys will get them soon.

[shim-on]

What are these block that fits the NB and the SB or the Maximus?

These are EK-NB S-MAX, EK-NB/SB ASUS 3.

[pattherat111]

wat sort of fittings are they on the cpu block are they those compression fittings or whateva there called

[Talonman]

i don't think ek is the issue i think the shipping of copper to the USA and customs durring the holidays is where the issue is at that or both my shipment and your shipment where lost before they entered the usa.

You guys might be right.

I will take a chill pill for 1 more week...

I have to say I am being tested though.

I never realized how long 23 days could be.

you have your water keg i have this setup with a phase change that i have never used and a new q6700 all im missing is the ek blocks im not so happy but i know why its the slowest time of the year to ship.

[Talonman]

2 EK NB block, are holding up 2 more killer rigs going online!!

Sweet setup BTW!!

Here is a wide angle of my cool Ohio unfinished basemant (Built in 1917), and the resting location of the Keg.



My TJ09 will be on the right hand side of my desk when it is completed.


I think I will be running the hose and power cable behind the unit, to connect with my computer.
I could turn the unit around, but then the RAD would be facing forward...
Not really sure yet how my final setup should be.
I am thinking about mabey using one of my old PSU's to run the Keg. I would put it behind the credenza, and plug it into the power strip that fires up the computer.
When the power strip is turned on, the pump would start. It probably wouldn't take a strong PSU to just run the KEG?

G1/4 screw-in nozzles for 8/10mm tubes

These are the ones fitting the Maximus Formula MOSFETs right?
Can anyone tell me if they come with thermal pads, or do you order that separately?

yup. Thermal pads were with blocks, but quite small, so you must cut small squares and place on.

[Darkatom]

Quick question, I put a very small scratch on the green pcb surrounding the NB. Will this damage the board in any way ?

I did that on my board when applying thermal paste to my NB and it turned out fine.

[Darkatom]

Thats good to hear. This happened while I was trying to remove the thermal paste that was stuck in between the notched out portion of the heatsink.

ok so its been 3 weeks when the post man comes today or 15 biz days cool o @#$%^&* than im going to go buy a canon hv20 hidef cam if they have one and it works ok. ttyl if i get waterblocks will be one of my first hidef recored items.

You must have a nice job.

You must have a nice job.

"Deputy of Counter Intelligence" (DCI): Leader of the precinct, a supervisor position. This person handles the most difficult customer issues and manages other Agents. Responsible for the day to day operations of in-store locations.

you have one day to tell me where i work hm

you are correct not a bad job pays good, fun to.

O already have the cam just came back from the store woot one canon hv20, bag, big battery, 4 HD mini dv tapes.

In the past i was also the

"Double Agent" (DA): Offer in-home services and some services for small businesses. The 'Double' part of the name refers to the fact that, when they are not busy doing services for clients in their homes, they return to their precinct to help train and support the other Agents.

"Counter-Intelligence Agents" (CIA): These Agents are located at Geek Squad Precincts, working at the precinct 'counter' in order to provide customers a wide range of computer services and handle most of the repair work on computers when they're not at the registers ringing up computer packages.

And yes i have the badge for the DA and have a new DCI Badge on order ( Takes something like 6 months to get )

[Creek Tha Gray]

yep correct

ok so mail is here but what is this its o nothing so much not fun.

wonder if the waterblocks will ever make it.

[Darkatom]

Another question, I'm currently installing my HR09 Type 2 moset coolers and the one on the I/O side is touching 2 caps. Will this cause a short? Cause any problems ?

bad needs to be fixed.


also Talonman are you still without your ek waterblocks? or installing them now you have been offline for some time today.

[Talonman]

Nope, considering what Paypal would have to say about the lack of delivery.

I just keep getting more disappointed.

What if it only touches the v-regs ?

[Talonman]

I know exactly the 2 caps your talking about. When I did my drilling, you can see 1 hole was totally intact. I strategically placed that hole at the top of the left MOSFET. It allowed me to not use the slide mounting bracket, and just the bolt to mount it. This kept the sink as skinny as possible, and allowed me to not make contact with the 2 caps causing you problems. My sinks do however touch a few of the R68 blocks (V-regs?).

I too hope that is not an issue.

[Darkatom]

Thanks for the reply. I think i'll just use some spare mounting hardware and use your method for the I/O side. As for the top vregs, they are just missed by the stock hr09 mounting hardware.

[Talonman]

Mine too, only the left MOSFET sink touches some v-regs. The top sink is A-OK.

[Darkatom]

On second thought, i'll just use the stock mofet coolers as the closeness of the HR09 is too close for comfort.
