hardly running it on stock..most of the time 4.6ghz@1.35 sometime 5ghz when render video

after quick review on the pump..will be upgrading my pump to D5 in couple of month..since i would like to see first do i really need to change it or not..

thx

can anyone recommend me any pump+reservoir bay preferably under 500

with good head to support ek xt240,rx240,cpu block,dual 580block and mobo block??

currently laing d5 is out of stock..

guys..i wonder if i can any great improvement if i upgrade my pump

currently using stock rasa kit reservoir + pump combo

my loop res/pump+ rx 240 +xt240 + cpu block + gpu block

cancel on adding another gtx580..since tried it and doesn't see any noticeable difference except in fps figure..and cancel on mobo block..since i can achieve 5ghz @ 1.45v

current temp @ normal ambient local room temp no ac at noon:

both gpu oc +cpu oc 5ghz

idle:
cpu: 38c
gpu: 37c

full load using p95 and furmark 1hr:
cpu: 69c max
gpu: 70 max

btw this is on i5 system..not the 3930k

is it?..im using 500R so..the distance from one block to another not that far..but using the mcp355 will give better performance in temp..why not

what should i be expecting my temp with the mcp 355?..i thought the current temp is good enough

didnt use any rotatary...

and my ambient temp is around 30c+ and lowest only at 28 so getting more rad and fan doesnt improve anything..

try using furmark instead of uniengine

when i used uniengine to test my oc stat..50c max

only if 580 matrix have wb..then i can sli

finally...some bench on water..

really interested in those bench casing..but i wonder will it affect the airflow if i put acrylic cover?..

looking forward for the full picture when the setup is done

for passive cooling for the mb heatsink since i do oc and same goes to ram?..just my POV..correct me if im wrong..


to 5p3ak:

warning..wc is very very addictive..i started from 500 till now 1.5k and increasing

i see..haha..im still in doubt about the mobo block..most of the other forums says it is for extreme oc-ing...i mean..how extreme can it be..and there are others who said it is not necessary since mobo block have high restriction..

thanks for the heads up..anyway looking forward for the wc setup on the bench..and regarding my item..im waiting for mcp35x from clawhammer..he wanted to sell used one at cheap price

i have rx240 and ex240 rx240 with push pull..and ex240 with pull

ambient temp play important role..biggest contribution in wc setup..

just recently i brought my desktop for lan party in ac condition..haha..suprisingly my 5ghz/1.45v stressing test after 3 hours capp at 65+c range and 580 oc'ed after 6hours bf3 around 50c range..wish i had ac in my rmah sewa..

cant wait for new setup to see the improvement.. ill post some comparison before and after upgrade in near future

ek kit also nice..so does xspc..if im not mistaken..now they have the raystorm kit..why dont u try that?

well i started from rasa kit > unstoppable upgrade..hahaha..


anyway guy,

i need some opinion..i cant get the real answer..which is better?

rx480 + push

or ex480 +push + pull

here are the plan..i got myself a buyer for my modded 500r which fit rx240 push pull and xt240 pull..

now im gonna start a new project soon..using rv02 not the one with hot-swappable drivebay..

the plan is to put 480 rad bottom and 240rad infront..since im using max iv gene-z should fit nicely those rad..

thanks

most probably ac on the 480 and gt on 360 rad..

so ac push pull on ex480?

man..after reading the review on ex radiator.. all in for ex rad instead of the rx..the balance on gt fan

due to space restriction..cant afford the rx480..so..might go for ex480 with gt as pull..not that confidence with push without shroud .. beside ill be placing 360rad infront and 480 bottom since got extra rad..except the 360rad is in push pull

anyway UGPM

anyone here own 680+WB??..cant find any card bundle with wb here in malaysia

well..ill be waiting for the evga hydro series..who knows the price diff between 680+wb and hydro series is less than rm300..might as well grab the hydro...

thanks for the heads up

guys...has anyone seen the "mini river flow" inside modded cases..?

planning to do similar like that..do u think it needs a good strong pump?

minimal budget would be 1.5k i suppose ur not cooling the ram and mobo block..and can be less depends on which pump / rad and water block u use..just set the minimum budget..

anyway..is there any benefits of getting the ek sli bridge?..im using gene-z mobo..soo..i suppose it is good choice to use it..and what do u guys think?..will it affect the pressure in the loop..

will be using mcp355(waiting from cyntrix )

having more than one pump is optional..and radiator configuration is based on the temp u want to achieve with the WC system..do note that it wont go below ur ambient temp..unless u force it to be cool

for eg:
having more than one pump is helping u to get better flow of the fluid across the restriction (mobo/cpu/gpu/ram block and radiator). higher the restriction will require better pump..

there is alot of planning needed if u want to go full custom WC so that it is worth the money and future proofing on cooling your system

try allocate some time to learn more on WC setup requirement . i always refer to skinneelabs for review on performance part like cpu block/rad and pump..also reservoir

wat is ur rad configuration?..hows the temp?

i thought i'd seen the rig somewhere... u send it to apes??

looks great..but..gonna be tight fit anyway..do some cable management..hide the ccfl wire..and perhaps u can hang it besides ur mobo..or if its fit between the gap between the pcie and sidepanel there.....take the 150ml cylindrical reservoir
