Cut and mail me a piece!

5.2 passed with 1.5V, testing 5.3 now. Getting toasty, load temp is 70C

nice rig bro!!!:thumbs:
dang i jelly...
mine 5Ghz @ 1.5v...lol
btw u stress using latest Linx or prime95 bro??Win7 64 SP1??

2 instances of prime. 1 x Large, 1 x blend.

Getting 5.3 stable is really hard. With vcore at 1.5, VRM switch frequency @ 500, it failed. (didn't BSOD but worker failed)

I bumped VRM frequency mode all the way to 1100khz and it is running fine, for now

Also, don't ask me why but temperature even dropped....65C now. I read a thread in OC.net that you may be able to OC higher by lowering PLL voltage. Don't you just love Corsair PSU? The rails are rock solid

nice clock! make sure ur OS is Win7 SP1/AVX and latest LinX/Prime95, if not it will give u fake stability and GFlops.
speaking of Corsair PSU... one of my collection items

The only regret I had with the PSU is that I didn't buy at least 1000w. If I add another gpu I'd need to change the PSU too. Damn kau sleepy. At Sepang waiting to test drive some vw lol

i still cant grasp the concept of AVX .
what is it actually ?
SP1 i know laa

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Vector_Extensions

avx sounds like new instruction sets to me .
hmm

meaning that SP1 supports those proc that has these new instruction sets ?

yea avx can improve stability of Sandy bridge proc OC'

damn !
any news bout ivy bridge procs ?
i've missed out a generation already .
technology too quick !

Alright, all my parts came in today and I changed out a few parts, here's the final rig for now:
(Pictures taken with Sony NEX5 + Carl Zeiss Biogon C 35mm f2.8 and Sony 16mm f2.8)

I love to keep the front clean. I'm planning to get a Lamptron FC-8 and reverse mount it inside of the casing to lower all the fan speed down to a dead silent level


I'm a day trader and tbh I still do not have enough screen real estate, there's another monitor that I didn't include in the picture. All panels are IPS/M-PVA. My friend works in dell and I got these at an extremely good price.
Dell 2007FP / Dell U3011 / Dell 2007FP
1200 x 1600 / 2560 x 1600 / 1200 x 1600
4960 x 1600


Trusty Saitek Eclipse 2, recently painted matte black. 2 years old, and still working as good as new. By far the best non mechanical keyboard I've ever owned, and I've owned a lot of keyboards. There's an MX5500 inside of my drawer right below the Saitek . Logitech G500, got it on sale. Looking to replace my mousepad, probably will get a Steelseries S&S.







There's still air in the res as I just flushed the system and these are brand new GIANT distilled water




Angle is very important for me. Keeping the bottom tube straight and the top tube naturally angled isn't easy.




5.1ghz 12 hour prime stable. CPU-Z is reading 1.5v Vcore but it's really 1.480 measured with my Mastercraft multimeter. Multimeter is about as accurate as most fluke DMM. I pulled 2 rams out and ran the rams at stock just to make sure I could pass prime. I've put back the other 2 pieces of 4gb and am now running 16gb @ 1.50v 1600mhz. Will prime this again tonight. For some reason I cannot run the ram at 1866mhz while many were able to oc this at 9 9 9 2x 2000mhz 1.5v.

nice setup bro love ur workstation.
about the 1866 dram did u try bump up vdimm/ vtt a few notches?
vdimm 1.65v is still ok wat...

Aiyah my rig incomparable to yours still la You know how much water I spilled while draining the system today? I used 3 towers to keep the water from overflowing.

I tried 1.60V with 16gb and it couldn't boot. Got stuck in bios boot loop. So I kinda gave up and went priming at 1600mhz now just to make sure I can even run them at this speed albeit they are stock settings. I read Gskill's fine print online that 9-9-9-24 2T 1.5V is guaranteed only with 2 sticks There's no guarantee that it'd run with 4 sticks

Anyway if I wake up tomorrow and it fails I'd just up VCCIO and VDRAM to see if things work better.

I read that when you increase the vdram on SB way above 1.5V it causes instability. I'm not worried about the voltage, I've moved my XSPC sensor to the rams and with 15gb+ fully loaded in prime blend the rams are only hitting 29-31C (22-23C ambient)

aiya leakage is normal lah..
that's why leak test is very important before powering up ur rig.
I think T-connector is very useful for draining.



During Raya I managed to put the EK 3 SLI bridge on my GTX580s. Found some problems...
Slanted a lil bit haiz.
And noticed that the CPU loop coolant becomes a lot brighter than the GPU loop. Need to top up some blood red dye bomb again.
I cant put my Xonar D2X onto the last PCIEX4 slot due being blocked by the EK FC link. Don't know whether an PCIE riser cable will fix this or not as I wana put the sound card on top of the mobo afraid will be hit by compression fittings from the top rad.
Might dump this EK bridge and go back to better looking Bitspower Crystal link tube+adapter combo.

dump into my dustbin bro hahahaha...

there's no such stability issue with vdimm > 1.5v, as u can see most of the dram sold in the market is rated at 1.65v.
Those 1.5v are lower speed kits and can be OCed by overvolting.
I think bcoz they get confused with older platform ie Bloomfield which needs +/- 0.5v gap between vtt and vdimm.
this gap isn't applied to SB.

it looks like its a bit sideways??

edit: it's an overkilled rig hehe

yaya i stated above slanted a lil bit.
this one I'm going to fix it after going back from Lost World of Tambun tomoro haha..

There's no leak in my rig it's just that when I pulled the pipe to drain the water, water was coming out from both direction and I was unprepared lol. All the GPUS are slightly sagging, I'm thinking of a method of help lift the gpus up so that they don't bend the PCIE slot. If you look carefully, the PCIE slots are bent towards the rear

hi,

i newbies for water cooling. i need some experts opinion for that. and my budjet is <RM700 . is there can i get any water cooling for my cpu.i already use Corsair H50 but already dead last night. dun know why..
