ASUS Striker II Extreme

[slim142]

I just finished leak testing, I'll post temps and voltages soon.

Thanks man, Im really interested!
Btw this is what Im going to be using

Water cooling

CPU Block: D-TEK FuZion v2 CPU Block
Radiator: Feser X-Changer Dual 120mm Xtreme Performance
Pump: Swiftech MCP655B or Liang D5
Barbs: Bitspower Premium G1/4" High Flow 1/2" Fitting - Black Sparkle
Clamps: Breeze Miniature Hose Clamp 7/16 in. to 25/32 in
Reservoir: EK-Multioption RES 250 Rev 2
EK-ANTI-Cyclon for EK Reservoirs
EK Spare Reservoir Holders
Fillport: Danger Den Aluminum Fillport

Water cooling CPU+NB (with stock fusion block) of course with some Fesser coolant and Tygon tubes. I hope to have all of this by the time my Striker arrives

That's a fine first setup , are you going to put shrouds on the Feser rad? Choice of fans is really important as well, I used three Scythe S-Flex 1600RPM on mine, they are really quiet. I have used a quad-core plate in my V2.

Thanks man, I dont know yet about the shrouds since I heard they didnt come out yet. I like Yate Loons so Im going to be using two 1650Rpms UV Blue Yate Loons for this. Btw, what is that quad-core plate you are talking about? (sorry Im still a noob with this water stuff hehe)

Slim, could you please keep us posted with your WC stuff(maybe in the WC section). I have been thinking about going WC for a long time now, but kind of intimidated and scared by the sheer number of components that I need to worry about.

No worries guys, going liquid isn't as daunting as it seems, just read up on it. Great link within this forum to check out as well:

Just take your time and ALWAYS leak test everything, (preferably before you slap it all inside your PC). Hopefully you have a spare PSU to do it with, makes life much easier to do it that way. Another thing to keep in mind is flow, avoid too many twists and turns and overly long lengths of tubing, shorter is always better. A degree or 2 here and there does help. We'll be here to help the lot of you out so no worries if you have any questions.

As an aside for anyone else interested, BIOS 804 did get rid of any audio issues,(ie; snap crackle pop) that was there previously with the latest NVidia GPU drivers. Now running latest drivers and the audio is fine no probs. I'm laughing at the fact that I must be the only one in here still using their 1st SIIE board, still tweaking it out but the bottom line seems that this board needs a lot of love and time, lotsa lotsa time which unfortunately is limited. Just want to hit 4ghz stable and I'll be in la la land.

Cheers

I thought I was going to be the one with the stable board hehe, good luck with your OC since I know how it feels when you find out that wont be easy.

I was like you until two days ago in which I decided to try water cooling out, then a nice friend here, extremis (thanks a lot man) explained me every single detail about water cooling so yesterday I felt ready to start ordering the stuff. We will see how it goes and will also post pictures

Yea, I've used some Yate Loon fans they are A1!!
Ther Quad Core plate is an update for the V2 Fuzion that optimises the flow for Quad Core processors, it forces the water flow where the two dies are on the chip and improves cooling performance. In the V1 this was done with a set of nozzles. It is very simple to fit. The shrouds for the Rad are a must!!

So that quad core plate comes built-in with the V2 right? No need to purchase it separately?

BTW, I see you are using a triple fan rad for the cpu, isnt that a little too much just for the cpu? =P

No the plate comes separately it is very cheap. You open up the Fuzion block and replace the standard plate, it is just a simple one minute job. Make sure you align the holes in the plate with the two cores on the processor.
Yes the triple rad is overkill, but I am thinking of getting watercooled GTX 280s, in which case I will add the motherboard cooling to the CPU loop, and have a separate graphics loop.

Thats nice, btw I just found it on PPCS.com and I will use it for sure.
ASUS should have my board by now, I hope they are testing my SLI issues!
