The Boss, Yes it is going to be fun! :) Zoob, Nice! Well, the pump is not installed yet, the only thing I really installed was the Micro RES, I just put the pump there to take photos :) If needed I will ask my father to make me a support for the pump, made of steel, just to secure the pump, and for ...

Hello! After trying everything I could to air cool my PC, I discovered that the only solution is water cooling! Here is the computer setup: - Antec P182; - Evga Nforce 790i Ultra; - 8gb Corsair DDR3 1600; - Intel Q9550 E1; - 2x Evga 285GTX in SLI; And the watercooler parts: - Swiftech Micro Res V2; ...

hi!

I have posted this topic in here:

Take a look! I am building a watercooling for my 790i ultra

Thank you

HI Niels007, Indeed that what I should do! I usually do not trust people randonly, the problem is some of the comments in the forum is correct, if you take a closer look in the picture below... you will notice that.. 1- the CPU is undervolted # 1.032v; 2- Real Temp shows the CPU temp as 52- 39 -46-4...

Hmm, Now that you mention, I actually DO miss my noisy computer.. I used to have a Dell Optiplex, which was quite noisy, its not that I miss the noise, its more like I miss the computer.. I have used it for a long time, that lil computer shared tons of secrets, I have typed so many blogs and diaries...

CyberDog, Ya I kinda trust Corsair, much more than Thermaltake, however I really doubt that the Thermaltake coolant is bad! I didnt know about fluids, so I just trusted the vendor, I bought the Corsair thing and I would mix with distilled water as per instructions! However, I am still waiting for a ...

Rocket733, I tightened it the most I could, didnt notice any difference! Thank you! Spookmineer, The motherboard is not bent, I know that the MB is pretty fragile I would not tighten the screws till it bends, actually i dont even think I have enough muscular power to do that! Thank you! LM741C, You ...

Hello cyberdog, Ya I got that! :) That was what I had in mind, I knew about the galvanic effect, so ill make sure they are all made of copper! ;) I bought that corsair watercooling fluid, it was pretty expensive, and it only had that ugly shade of green, i wanted something less "hulk" but well, that...

...I use the same pump as you do kate, and i am currently using a thermochill pa120.3 with 1 fan on it for cooling. both my cpu and gpu are quite heavily overclocked, and the cpu sits around 4% over the ambient temperature of the room. ... this will insure that almost all the heat produced by the s...

NeilBlanchard, I got the CPU undercontrol, its a bit too high for my liking but it is perfectly safe, my worries at the moment is the MCP & SPP temperatures, at evga forums they say that the MCP should not exceed 60C! and i am very very close to that my current MCP temp is 58-59. My worry is that wh...

Hewwo Olle P, You are right, mouting it outside the case will make it only a big larger, i have not disconsidered the idea of mouting it outside, I just prefer it inside because of the looks, mounting it inside would make it look "less DIY" and more professional looking. But I have NOT discarded the...

Hail El Jefe! Thank you for your answer! Good tips!! Ill get a waterblock from Bitspower then! I tohught I should stick with the same material (copper) but didnt know I should buy the same brand! Another question.. Will my pump (MCP-350) be enough for all the necessary cooling and the big radiator? ...

I added a Kama Bay and saw some improvement. Also removing the filter doors helps alot. Nice tip! Thats what I heard that adding Kama bay will help, and I belive so... The P182 needs better airflow! I honestly do not want to remove the filters as they are there for a reason! :) Also, removing it wo...

ACook, If you dont, neither do I! :) I already ordered some parts for watercooling, meanwhile I am conducting some experiments using various fans to see what will happen to temperature if I "add" more air inside the case... Somehow the P182 is very intake deficient, I found that adding a side fan (m...

Hello Olle, WOW amazing, I had to use an online translator to read it, but it seems to be great! Ideally the more "compact" the solution the better, mounting the radiator inside the computer would allow me, to move the case/computer, clean the desk, and do all the things needed. Furthermore, the ide...

Hello all! During the last few months I have been struggling to keep my computer quiet and cool. I have assembled a computer discussed in this thread: http://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=51583 Furthermore, I made another thread to discuss the cooling and fan placements here: http://...

Hi there!! yes I have... the temp reach 65-67, which is too much! The problem is, p182 does not have a good air flow!

Thanks!

You're here on this site, that should answer it. Savvy? We're all nerds here. Good company. You at least have hopes and ambitions above and outside of the game, so I wouldn't say you were a MMO nerd. I refer to myself because at one point I logged 60+ hours a week in WoW. Hello Eyedolon, LOL!! It w...

Hi Neil, Ya Im pretty sure that the fans are facing the correct position, noctua fans do not have the arrows pointing the direction but I used an old thermaltake fan to figure out the position. The CPU fan is blowing air through the heatsink, as per xigmatek instruction sheet... But I changed the fa...

Having that much variation on temperatures. There is a possibility that you IHS is not straight. Or your heat sink is not straight. You might want to check what kind of temps you get with the stock cooler. You have that? Or then there is a problem on that how your cores are stressed. But I don't th...

Ops! Then Houston we have a probem. :) Your Xigmatek is now mounted with backplate? OK, try to fire up LinX with All memory selected. When you see 70-80°C in RealTemp go and touch heatpipes and/or fins from your Xigmatek. It should burn your fingers. Literally. If not and you feel it barely warm t...

Hello NeilBlanchard, Ya 40C is good, that was with the case fully open, when the case is closed I get around 48-49C idle... When 100% load after 1 hour of prime, I get 65-67C. ntavlas, Yes it a HUGE improvement, but i still have 48-89C with the p182 fully closed, with the intake and the middle fan i...

...My plan revolves around using a fan blowing from under the heatsink out of the blowhole of the case in order to abuse thermodynamics to the fullest extent for highest possible performance with a low speed fan. Hi there! I have the same case, I am having some issues with cooling the computer with...

Hello Alleycat, Warranty is very subjective, as you may have noticed I am not american, my english is terrible and my writing is horrible!

If you're not overheating when running Prime95, then you're ok. What is Nvidia's thermal spec for the chipset? Hi there!, that is one of the MAIN problems, because I do not know, and the information is not available anywhere else. In the EVGA forum a person told me it would be best not to have 60oC...

ACook, I will do the testing next week... This week is very problematic for me, lots of work and such... I will post the results here pretty soon! jaganath, Interesting, i heard that 285 where cooler due to a new redesing... well... I didnt know about that, I might have to start thinking about water...

Dust filter? No not the filter, the little plastic door that we have to cut the plastic fins (?) to give a better airflow That sounds like a good idea. However I think that any fans at B, C, D, E can be removed and there will be no increase in temperatures. It seems that the door is causing some re...

Do you have the results with the intake fans removed? I didn't expect that lowering the speed or switching off the fans to be helpful. The aim is to remove any obstructions to airflow, and a stopped fan will block some air. Did you say that you've cut out the intake grille? Where is the middle fan ...

Nah, I am not a big fan of car audio... I use the radio to listen to the news and get the trafic condition...

PT Cruiser... that car.. is... a BOX.. lol.. honestly, looks like a funeral car...

In Japan there are some VERY small cars, I like those...
