did you by chance pick up an x800 pro vivo cause if so you can flash your bios with some other software and have a xt pe with 16 pipelines instead of the 12 pipelines your pushing right now.

No I didnt know about that at the time. Not a big deal though, you can hard mod it to unlock them but I dont really care to risk it.

Well got most of it done today, Im going to run the piping tomorrow and leak test it for a day or so.







also I need fan guards with the chrome circle edge thing, Im not sure what to call it, but basically it will cover up the uneven hole cuts for the fans, I had to use a drill press and a dremel to cut the damn holes out as the scroll saw was just melting the plastic back together and a hole saw that size cost 40USD.

Its amazing the difference 2 80mm fans makes in a case, I downsized my fans since I dont have a fan controller in my case and my processor is hitting 61c under load and its fan is just screaming at like 5300rpm. 61c is nothing so Im not worried, but it is annoying, good thing Ill never have to here that stupid fan again in like 2 days

i wrote a few aticles for overclockers.com.. one about distributed computing, the other about overclocking practices.

what sort of metal are you using for the water block(s)?

galvanic corrosion is your enemy. remember this. i've seen $300 setups just crash & burn because of it..

try to use the same metal on all parts, and make sure that water is CLEAN. Algae can form in resevoirs.

[Uppitycracker]

Both the blocks are DD copper blocks, with steal fittings. Im adding coolant to the system which has corrosive reducing additives, Im not sure what it does about algae and other spores but Ill keep an eye on that, might pick up some additive for that aswell. Im gong to use pure bottled water for my water base as its PH level is nuetral which will also help decrease corrosion.

[celicarocker]

its probably just me tim, but im not seeing a resivoir

and are you just gonna have this chillin underneath your computer?


and to add to the list, the fan on my heatsink for my 9800pro started to die it kinda goes errrrrhhhh uhhhhh...... eeerrrhh uhhhh.... eerrhhhhh uuuhhhh.... so i had to order a new one of those i gotta stop spending money

but it looks awesome man

Well a reservoir is necessary but I do have a tupperware tube Im gong to use, it'll be tucked under the comp so its not seen.

The cooling box is going to be setupright beside my comp.

That sucks man, did you order one of those artioc cooler things? or just an oem fan?

[celicarocker]

what i bought.... im goin broke and it was only 15 bones... and it got good reviews, so i figured why not?

Oh ya people talk about those over at overclockers.com, everyone that uses one seems to like it. Plus you dont have to hear that damn screaming fan when you play WoW

[creis]

Wow that looks very nice, great job man.

I think i'm gana make one too, but I will have to make it small and gata find a way to get it as mirror like as my box.

Ya you can make em pretty small, mine is only 11Hx7Wx11L which is pretty small. one way to get that mirror look is make it off plexi glass and apint the inside black. Im thinking of doing that when the coolness of this wears off

[creis]

question: what brand/where did you (or are going to ) get the water heatsinks for the cpu, and vga.

[Uppitycracker]

I got the Danger Den CPU and GPU blocks. They get a pretty good rating at overclockers.com and are reasonably priced.

hey man for your gpu waterblock you should get a aquagrATIx800, they are about 90 bucks and are made especially for the x800. All i can find right now on google are the german sites but when i get back to my house ill post an english site with them.

[95_celi_deluxe]

nvm you already got the danger den blocks *sigh*

Well the maze4 gpu block is designed for the x800, gets great reviews, most people buy them and costs 50 dollars less...Im not worried about it
