The Freezone and Eliminator use 1/4" hose. Don't bother. Edit: it will just add way too much restriction to your current setup.

it looks to me like those solder points are clean and never used. I have an LGA board here that has open points in the socket area similar to the pic above and it works fine. Try the board... I'll bet it's meant to be that way.

Forum conflict is nerd crack.:D It will never end. IMO the cooling forums would get a little stale if we didn't duke it out every once in a while. The flow debate is really an end user debate anyway. If thermal engineers and the companies they work for were flow cultists like many people here we...

Now where would the fun be in that? :rolleyes: Glad to see you posting, dont be a stranger!

you called it /end thread

Run Away! Run Away!:eek: Corsair Nautilus 500 Start with that and add a VGA cooler if needed. If you end up with an 8800 or something you can always add a second radiator later. The pump in there can take it with ease.

Skynet hell, George Orwell's 1984!

from the comments thread under the original article: I laughed my ass off, thought I would pass it on for those that didnt scroll all the way down. CS:S FTW There has got to be a way to stop this guy... Maybe Big Bill will sue him into the dust for harrasment or something. We can only hope...

PSU would be my first guess. After that the VR's on the mobo. Either way back off your OC before you fry something. Try using a different higher quality PSU and see if it goes away. I have had some issues with the more recent truepower Antecs just up and dying or squealing then dying.

http://plasticdistribution.net/tygon-tubing.htm that is a really good quick comparison chart for the different types of Tygon. R3400 is pretty robust stuff. Having been considering a chilled alcohol loop for a while that 2700 is pretty tempting...:D

post some pics when you are done! R3400 is hawt looking stuff. I plumbed my whole machine with it and i couldnt be happier. It is a bit stiff compared to masterkleer but resists kinking very well. The UV resistance couldnt hurt either.:D

I am also sad to see them go back to the "darkside". Hopefully we pick up some of their readers who just can't go back to canned benchies. I for one, could never go back. So does this make us the only site doing it the right way? :eek:

not around here it ain't. i love how he justifies the card by calling it more forward looking...how about the 8800GTS 320MB beating it in FEAR at every resolution? (with AA turned on mind you) it might be time to readjust your definition of "good" and I for one have not trusted THG for years...

Awesome 1st time build up! Very clean wiring (for a first timer). FYI sigs need to be 10 lines or less. just letting you know... keep up the [H]ardwork! Ninja Edit: question: why no turn the CPU cooler 90 degrees so that the warm air exhausts out the rear of the case? ( would need to turn...

couldnt get WS running on my Geforce2 Ultra (classic eh?), so i thought i would be slick and just upgrade to a 865G board and had the same issues with the intel graphics. Plopped in a Geforce 4 MX400 and had no issues at all. Hating to admit defeat on the 865g VGA though i dug around and found...

not sure that qualifies as a pre-built... I spy a Koolance rad/case but a Swiftech bay-res and a DD block. Modded pre-mod maybe? Either way it looks good.

http://www.koolance.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=37_54&products_id=235 that radiator came to mind just because of the tube size, and it is single pass so hopefully not to much work for the pump. can fit a pair of 120s too might just do the trick.

I didnt realize they had that kind of range. If it wasn't for the child molester part that would have been a great commercial LOL

Great idea! I am a long time fan of Toast. If you are taking requests I have a couple... 1. support for 4 cores or more 2. coretemp readings in program with logging to .txt file can't wait to see it!

:D sorry had to LOL at that sequence there.

well if it turns out that one of the blocks was in pr0n or has a drinkning problem I will make sure to note it.:D

I am still waiting on all the entrants so show up. Testing is going to be starting soon.

to get the Negative LOD bias option to show up you need to change the "view" drop down box to say advanced view. It's about half way down. As far as the frame buffer question... it might be called something else but it should be under integrated devices in the bios. It will probably have...

you can get some halfway decent performance out of the 6150 if you tweak it a bit. Look in the bios and make sure your frame buffer is not set to 64MB (compaq loves doing that). Try and set it at 128 (256 isn't going to help you any and jsut use up RAM). After that go into the Nvidia control...

OK guys i have a little info for you about the testbed thus far. First of all we are changing to an overclocked C2D E6300 CPU on a Gigabyte DQ6 v2.0 with the same Corsair XMS2 RAM from the AM2 testbed. I have not OC'd the chip yet as I just posted the machine but I am pretty optomistic. I think...

7/16" is slightly larger than 3/8" hose is cheap use 3/8" hose or get 1/2" barbs

It's going to be a couple of days, I will keep you posted.

Got mine last Friday. Didn't have the heart to tell the PC store they were selling early until after i was done with the purchase. :D

um, it is on the fan, not the heatsink, and case air is rushing past it. While I agree there is probably a small amount of heat being radiated to it convection is pretty much being defeated by the fan.

FYI there is a temperature sensor on the fan that DOES use case temp to adjust the speed. Take a look for yourself. It is the little green thermisistor sticking out of the hub just under the blades.

I was actually about to send the freezone to Steve as a really late X-mas present. (I have been meaning it to send it for a while). Instead I am going to pull it out and do a little more investigation. There are just too many people getting too many different results to ignore here. I will keep...

you can zip tie an 80mm fan to the top one. I have seen very little, if any difference between the two when they both use an 80mm fan.

Wow theeclectic, your results are sure a lot different than what i got. I ran Dual instances of Prime95 for well over four hours and never got temps anywhere near that high on our 4200+. I see that you are not pushing a ton of voltage either. What TIM did you use and have you tried remounting...

It's no pipe dream. The whole reason we are asking is to get info just like that ^ A lot of what you guys are saying confirms what I thought already about what you want to see. You guys are also giving me some great article ideas and general input/feedback. Loving it so far. On topic even! :eek...

Just two 19" 1440x900 LCDs here :( I get by though... the HDTV doesn't count as it is only on for movies and NFS

rather than lower the resolution just turn up the font size, use large icons, etc. Windows has a ton of built in features to make it easier for grandma to read her email or your blind CEO to see his pr0n

But triple 120mm rads increase your e-penis size by 33%! If you have room do it. It can't hurt. My e-penis is this big. :D

Great info so far guys. Keep it coming. :D
