You'll have to go back to air on the SB for Tri-SLI... on the Enzotech, Was messing around with it before I got my Chipset loop running, you'll be very happy.

Thanks for the info, a few questions. Am I right in assuming the Enzotech will fit the SB holes without modding? What are you running at the moment, SLi or tri-Sli? What about the Evercool for the SB was that any good?

[slim142]

is the bandwidth drop off over 475FSB only limited to the s2e or is it with all 790i boards?

The bandwidth drop is due to the chipset

Bandwidth drop happens when you go over 425Mhz FSB afaik. P1 & P2 fix this problem, but you would need to test stability again if you enable this two.

I agree. As long as WC is specific to this board it is on topic. I have just ordered a third GTX 280 and will be playing about with a tri-sli watercooled setup this week!! I may have to revert to air cooling on the SB, I have ordered an Enzotech CNB-S1L and Antec spot fan just in case.

Well, I never saw it as off topic anyways
Tyke, whats up with all this cards, you are going to end up needing a nuclear plant to power your pc!. Btw, if the Enzotech picture is right, it might work with the little fan on and Tri-SLI right?

It should fit no problems, I havent read about uncompatibility so far.

I will try a fan on it and let you know the results. I was thinking of just the heatsink with an Antec spot fan .

I can vouch for this. Running 445x9 and with p1 & p2 enabled get around 12000mb/s read bandwidth, with it disabled, about 9500mb/s. The problem is getting it stable. Thought I had it... 14hrs prime stable etc but the pc kept cutting out (no BSOD or screen freeze, just a reboot) at random times - i could play games for hrs, but occasionally it would do this. Spent the last few days testing and I think its when P1 & P2 are enabled.

Problem is im already running 1.6vnb, and 2.0v on the memory so I really cant push it up any higher (im assuming anything over 2.0v isnt too clever on DDR3 for 24/7 running). If i work something out i'll let ya no. I should also have the nb on water by the end of the week, not sure if this will help!

Try with PLL 1.56 and VTT 1.30

Running an Evercool behind my tri-sli here.
Perfect solution for cooling the SB, where the standard rollercoaster couldn't fix the job (SB got 90+ `c and shut down the board)
What blocks are you getting on your cards? EK?
And if i'm right it should be possible to use a southbridge waterblock when using EK waterblocks for the cards.
On the other hand is WC'ing the SB a waste of money and flow in your setup.
Evercool will do the job

Hey Justifire

Could you post those pictures of your build again? (lost the page). I want to see the Type 2 how they look on the S2E. Will have to get those no matter what lol.

Also, shorter side goes to mosfets right?

Here ya go (clickable):





Yes, short side on mossfet and S-type on top

Great, thanks

Somebody told me that the Type 2 doesnt cover all the mosfets (is too short for all of them), it leaves two of them half uncovered or something like that. Did you notice if all your mosfets are covered by the heatsink?

Yes I have ordered EK blocks for the cards. I plan on trying the Enzotech cooler with an Antec spot fan first, and see how it goes. It looks as though the SB waterblock may be OK when I get the blocks on the cards, I will have to see but it will be tight!!
