Hondacity's HeatKillers GTX285 in Triple Sli (simple test)

[Hondacity]

OK ... let me see if I understand the bar chart ...

Starting on the left, it shows lower flow rates for the 3 different CPU water block setups. As you add pumps/tops, you get a higher flow rate. Then you get even higher when you switch from the 480GTX to the PA120.3. The config you are running is the third one ... and that's the one you used to get the CPU/GPU temps you posted. Is this right so far?

I also take it from your comment about flow being overrated, that you didn't test the 1st or 2nd setup (or at least didn't post temp results). So would you expect to get the same performance level on the GPU temps with the lower flow rates? (I think this is what SNiiPE was saying, just not sure).

NOTE -- I'm not questioning your testing or your conclusions, just trying to make sure I understand. I guess I'm confused with the fact that you've shown multiple flow rate setups, yet posted only one set of temps. Maybe the flow rate data was from another test, and you included it here for info?

long overdue answer : yes it was from my flow testing

Yeah. tell him to put four in a row in a 50C case ambient (not an open bench) and then tell me what temps he has

Want me to show you 40C ? I'll set my own parameters... hell, I'll show you 35C my way.

Why don't I wait for January to come along, take the sucker outside and brag to you that my gpus load at 5C ?

its 20C inside the apartment ...i'm getting load temps of 37-38c on my 285s. 50c

This thread just made me think of this:



So the question is ... why is your middle card not showing much higher temps? /sarcasm

check part 2 at post1.

Shazza its corrected by Hondacity

just noting missing data, nothing wrong with your data

Hondacity can u run another screenie

screenie on the new setup yes, single loop is gone.

Interesting show, but I had thought it was already pretty established that cooling gpu's was not dependent upon high flow or massive radiator capacity.

On the other hand, I see your monitoring sofware you're using is all over the place in reference to your cpu's core temps. One has the highest core at 66C, one has it at 74C....odd, that.


But what makes you use comments like that? Completely uncalled for and really shows a lack of thinking, at the least.

log my cpu temps? thats too easy, if its odd to you. i'll say it to you ODD it is

Regarding the state of the hobby, there was once when performance actually mattered. Now, gltiz and show takes center stage.

you saying this as glitz?

vantage 3x285s

can i ask an off question.

sorry about the slight detrail, but honda it looks like your running everest ultimate.

How did you get that program to play nice on a 64-bit i7? Skinnee and i were dying almost an entire day because that program kept crashing our i7's.

its 32bit dude, i get some weird bsods with the ssd and 64bit


anyways post1 is updated somewhat
Part2
The important stuff : The RAD and FANS, quad for the cpu, dual quad for the tri-sli

************idle temps aren't really that interesting, nvidia throttles the gpu speed to around 300mhz versus max set, temps go down at 300mhz

************restriction on these blocks aren't bad.
