[Project Log] Fiery Black Knight [METAMORPHOSIS]

[alpha1ma]

@ alpha1ma, that's a sweet looking build (I'm also going for red and black).

Just had a couple of things I wanted to say/ask (hope you don't mind):

You say you have used red feser one, I have been told that under UV this goes pink or sometimes orange, have you added any additional dyes to the liquid to get it that red?

Also, to you and gatecraherlok I am using the Striker II Formula and I have a mips SB block that should fit in a triple SLI set up (might struggle if your middle card uses a back plate), have a look below (my Mobo)-

of coz bro..logs about sharing ideas and info..dont mind..

hmmm..i din add any addictives..its straight out from the bottle..

it does look abit pinkish, when i spilled some of it on the mat..

i am thinking prolly my red leds from my rams and fans add to the red? haha..nt sure..

ur blocks are nice..but nt sure if its gonna work for 3 way sli..the barbs will be in the way..i think..from my experience..hah..

Man i've long'd to dump mine under water for so long and a year has passed with no real solution. It definately will not work now that I have upgraded the graphics car dto the 295. inspecting your picture the graphics card will not fit into slot one. Looks like I have to wait a little longer then to see if anything else crops up. If nothing comes before april, I think I'll close the doors on this coffin and go x58. I've waited too long.

hmmm..hah..u shld go x58 man..

i7 will definitely be much better..

hey guys..wondering if any of the striker 2 formula users encountered this before..

heres the story..

after setting i my cpu loop, i wanted to see whether i could overclock my processor higher than my previous 4.6ghz..

i up the cpu core voltage to 1.65 but 4.8ghz and 5ghz onli can boot to bios..bsod after the win vista loading screen..

this is when i thot i would up my voltage to 1.7..(1.7v is the max i told myself i would ever go..if this cant work..i would back off)

with the voltage set, i press f10 and it reboots..

halfway, the whole system powers down..

i reboot again..this time i am able to get to bios, thnx to asus..

i check my temps..and to my horror..it was 92 degrees..

imagine that..92 degrees cpu in bios idling..i cant believe it..

i check the voltage monitor immediately and found out the readings was 1.8v instead of 1.7v..

i quickly went to the voltage settings page and discovered i did set 1.7v and not 1.8v..

i was quite alarmed..quickly revert to normal settings and rebooted..

thnk god..the whole processor is working..

but..soon after..i discovered..i now required higher voltages to attain benchmark stablility in vantage..

previously..

4ghz at 1.34v bios
4.4ghz at 1.45v bios
4.6ghz at 1.525v bios

now..

4ghz at 1.45v bios
4.4ghz at 1.55v bios
4.6ghz at 1.625v bios

sigh..still wondering wat went wrng that cause my 1.7v to hit 1.8v instead..
