ic...but brands like galaxy which use zalman fans for the graphic card, is that considered stock fans? Do people replace them with other fans?

QUOTE(Doom @ Oct 14 2006, 11:50 PM) Sometimes it is really paint in the ass to setup cool and quiet system ....no offense just my sense.... u've got the point .. so much of money spend on getting the right hardware..... especially among the gpu and cpu cooler.... Anyway the rig still looks nice ..too bad with that spec why dont get a nice Lian Li or Silverstone case that is available widely there.... many ask me that question already ... and the thing is my this customer already purchased this TT armour chasis b4 consulting me ... geezz .. he regretted though & didn't wanna waste it anyway .. as its not that cheap either after all, casemodding is all its about !! die die also must make the whole thing work& looks good @ great performance ... no choice. yea guys, when fully done up .. will bench it .... i'm so eager to test it myself too .. otherwise will hardly get some opportunity again. heh .. |

QUOTE(uglyvamp @ Oct 15 2006, 05:01 PM) u've got the point .. The 3DM05, 3DM06 gfx benchmarks r gonna be really dissapointing man. Quad SLi actually gets lower scores than a single 7950GX2. The overhead taxes the CPU more n in the end the results r less. That's y until now I haven't bought another 7950GX2. I wud love Quad SLi in my King Kong too but the current drivers r useless n the performance is less. many ask me that question already ... and the thing is my this customer already purchased this TT armour chasis b4 consulting me ... geezz .. he regretted though & didn't wanna waste it anyway .. as its not that cheap either after all, casemodding is all its about !! die die also must make the whole thing work& looks good @ great performance ... no choice. yea guys, when fully done up .. will bench it .... i'm so eager to test it myself too .. otherwise will hardly get some opportunity again. heh .. |

waiting is endless....
yes, i agree quad vga is not mature enough at the moment .. but let's see the benching results when its fully setup .. once in a lifetime to come across such bombastic rigs, its my greatest pleasure to build for this guy, irregardless of whether its a wrong combo, wrong hardware choice, wrong chasis ... watever. wait for the completion guys ... soon very soon ! |

Wow, Quad-SLI in a secc case? Talk about injustice... anyway, its the customer's right. The job is looks good enuf but who would want to oc the quad now? Like uncle said earlier , I hope your customer has like 30" widescreen LCD to use this because quadsli is totally wasted in lower resolutions.
Besides, DirectX9 API has too much overhead causing the quad sli to overwork itself. Hopefully DirectX10 will resolve this and actually make use of it. I dunno about everyone else, but I don't buy things to just have it. There should be actual use of the product and even more performance gain for such a spec. It would be really interesting to actually see some real-world scores between single vs dual 7950gx2 done by you. |

I took a saw & shorten off the threading area a bit & file nicely then whola !!! all 4barbs on the GX2 cards are now better, fitter & tighter They call this barb, "perfect seal". 1/2 inch OD. ![]() and now this looks better, we get to see pretty water flowing .. ![]() ![]() i really luv this barb, perfect seal indeed. the sealing part truely work wonder with some hose clamp, it'll be perfectly tight !! ![]() here's where the water exit will be. water exiting the vga will go back to the black aluminium tower reserator. acting like 1st stage cooling b4 water go to the radiator. cpu --> GPU --> Reserator ( water tank / reservoir ) --> Radiator --> Pump --> CPU ![]() bottom exit, a mini blowhole. water from GPU goes to the reserator / water tank with the 1 & only elbow 1/2" joint. THe less joint like this the better the water pressure. More corners, more joints/barbs mean less water pressure... and wont look nice either .. ![]() a preview of the overall setup for now .... we're currently working on raising the chasis's feet by about 4cm more without the entire chasis being unstable. ![]() here are some closeup details of securing the heavy rad & reserator together. i figured out SECC chasis should be stronger than aluminium chasis if I were to mount this way ....

If only it was something like CM Stacker then it might look nice... Otherwise the whole thing looks a little weird. But its special |

wat a massive setup. the radiator at the back looks like a locomotive engine and u can expect smoke to come out from the back
but its such as pity though, if such a machine cant out-perform the single 7950GX2 setup |

wah... there would be massive of job if any changes would be make to the case or WC setup.... especially the radiator and resovior...
I guess that's what i call constraint of cool, quiet and performance and lastly convenient.. Anyway i dont think it would be problem to the owner as he could always consult uglyvamp maintenance service... This post has been edited by Doom: Oct 17 2006, 10:26 PM |
