late night christmas shopping - naughty Mikey

[Gray]

Are you going to be running Renault Type D coolant, yeah?

 

[Silent_Scone]

flol, i wonder...

Seriously I am wondering...

 

[Gray]

There's only one way to find out....

 

[Silent_Scone]

damn straight...

and that is - get someone else to try it LOL. Phobia clear stuff going in..none of that dye poo you can get

 

[Silent_Scone]

Argh this setup doesnt like me. Well new rad a pump is in, set to speed 2 out of 5 ATM and seems just fine. Plan was to start tampering for 5ghz later but one of my vertex 3 ssd has just decided it doesn't like my array anymore.


f**king computers.

 

[welshname]

Starting to sound similar to a french car this rig. Are you using hardware or software raid?

 

[Silent_Scone]

Hardware, software raid.. Jesus no. The drive seems to pass h2test ok and formats fine. Bet it's another chipset qurk.

Never buy new shizzle!

 

[welshname]

Good man. Software raid is SHITE! But then again it's better than hardware raid using a crap card. Still haven't experimented with SSD's yet, think I'll save that for a rainy day.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Well if this one is indeed faulty which I'm yet to find out then it'll be my first OCZ have a bit of a rep for it, but I've 6 in tot over the years without failures

 

[Tunst]

Id love to be able to build a decent pc but i have no idea about it all..

I only have a little Packard bell

 

[Silent_Scone]

It's agro

 

[Darren S]

It's agro

It's relaxation.

(when it works...)



D.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Bah had to rebuild the array, couldn't find anything wrong with this SSD. Stable at 4.9 atm

 

[mantis946]

OCZ's support is a bit of a PITA, they are in taiwan or something - my mate sent his drive off for replacement and it was gone for weeks Just hoping my Agi isnt on the way out, it's failed to post properly a handful of times now.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Turns out it was an issue with the array, it was built up on a previous board so might of been that, failing that it'll be this awesomely shite chipset!

All well now, still rocking 4.9 - have had to install an additional 120mm fan on the rear of the motherboard to help cool the mofset. lol

 

[Silent_Scone]

Thought I'd just do a quickie update. Manged to hit 5ghz stable at 1.41vcore (true) and keep the temps stable.

Jeeeesus that looks awesome!

 

[Tez.]

Jeeeesus that looks awesome!

+1 how much has it cost to get there?

Just wondering

 

[Silent_Scone]

Over the space of about 2 years probably in excess of 2.5k - 3k maybe! Had some of it for awhile, video cards I bought at launch in 2010

 

[Tez.]

Very nice .worth it if you're into your games like I used to be before the wife and house

 

[Silent_Scone]

Priorities all wrong there.

 

[mantis946]

I've just realised, I've build my system almost identically to yours LOL Should be set for a few years now

 

[mantis946]

*Built rather

 

[Jamie16v]

LOL computer building. Your doing it right.

Would love that spec tbh.

 

[Silent_Scone]

lol thread resurrection. Got good money for my 580s since then and bought a pair of 680GTXs

 

[Silent_Scone]

Few new trinkets.


Brothers machine went belly up so sold him a few bits and bought a few of my own over Christmas. EVGA 4GB Classifieds, Corsair AX1200i PSU and a 24" IPS panel from Asus.

 

[mantis946]

Jesus that's about 1k worth of GPU firepower !

 

[Silent_Scone]

is it?

 

[richy22]

Randomish question but is this the pump/rest combo you have??

[Jonnio]

Awesome, assume you just forget about the split between the screens after a while?

Wish I understood half of this thread lol.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-163-XS&groupid=962&catid=2133&subcat=

Nope. Same pump (A lot of manufacturers sell the D5) but single res, not twin

 

[richy22]

Are right okay. What are the differences/benefits of a dual bay over single bay? Is it the amount of water held?

 

[Silent_Scone]

Yeh single bay res is pretty minimal, temps would suffer slightly

 

[richy22]

Thats what I thought.

I have been looking at dual pump/reservoirs and found the XSPC ones with the DDC (I think) pumps in them. Overclockers sell a "kit" for around £130 which comes with one of them and for my pusposes I thought that was reasonable.

 

[Cliotoby]

Thats mental.

 

[Wilkeh]

Where's your SLi bridge?
