Better light, better pics

very interesting pic Tommy...

Good lord...if I'm looking at that correctly, then that heatsink is only covering maybe 70% of that GPU die. That can't be good right?

[cabbspapp]

Just stick your pinky in there while its on to see if it's hot

What you see is just the IHS. The GPU is much smaller

So dont worry, it's all fine

If it was up to me, I would done that long ago

[Kopi]

kopi, you should buy blue led fan in the back..

Yep I got a Yate Loon D12SM for the rear and front of the case...but I think I like the green better...it was too blue

Tommy_Hewitt, your cooler; how many slots does it take up? i need a cooler for my card but i only have room for a 2 slot solution.

[Bigred1]

Bigred1, what is that drive bay fan?

I think I misunderstood your question the first time, The fan is a Silverstone FM121. Other then that I made it myself, I took the frame for the middle fan of the P180 and attached it to two drive bay covers. Cost nothing and works great. I plan on changing the fan with an ultra kaze 2000 soon.

Thats nice bigred1 You should overclock that cpu more, because you have great cooling and awesome mobo for overclocking..

I want to overclock more but a think a got a bad batch, Q801A290. I recently just upped it to 4.0ghz (444*9 1:1) 1.372 vcore. Ram @ 4-4-4-12. 2.1v
It idles @ 34/35, but under Intel burn test I will hit 67/68, With my Tuniq, I thought that Load temp would be lower, Any Ideas?
My case temps range from 30C to 34C when gaming, Any ideas on that or is that okay?

hey tommy that pci-e 8 pin power in your sig, did you do that yourself ? i looks amazing.

Hoi,

thx ..............and to answer your question: yes, all by my self..........but it's a 8-pin ATX cable, not PCIe

I did the same with my 24-pin ATX cable. Pretty annoying work

Nice pictures Tommy!

I'm thinking about getting those for my 4850's, does it cool well?

[DualCore]

wasup Tommy , i see that u change classic cooler ( flat-base ) with a xigmatek HDT , big surprise !!!

[emoners]

Tommy: i wonder if you could make a review between the Scythe Musashi, TR T-Rad & AC Twin Turbo/Accelero. that would be much appreciated.

I haven't tested it yet..........

??? The Xigmatek cooler is not mine. That rig was just for a friend. I still use Thermalright ^^. However the Xigmatek is quite nice.

That's only possible when I'm able to get a HD48x0 to test it on. Unfortunately T-Rad² and AC don't fit on a 8800GTX

Is your cpu lapped?

[Bigred1]

Is your cpu lapped?

No not yet, I want to but I'm afraid that ill damage it. I also wanted to lap my Tuniq while I was at it. Is it hard to do or just time consuming?

Also if I cut out all the fanguards on my P180 do you think that would help with overall noise and cooling?

I dont think so is it hard to lap tuniq, I didnt lap it. but I lapped my cpu.

and yes, if you cut all of the fanguards off, noise goes little bit down and i think airflow increase little bit..


sry 4 my sucky english.

[ThugsRook]

my Blizzard360 case is very old....






same rig, different cooling...

elite, real nice job, clean cable management to by the looks of it.

Well I'll have to try it, but I'll just lap cpu first, I'll post pics when I'm done.
Thanks for the help.

You need to stop putting your components on towels.

[MomijiTMO]

May I ask why? All I can think of is the fibres snagging.
