    High Coolant Temperatures

    Oh no worries, Thank you for your input. This situation is actually with the side door off, so its really best possible situation for the cooling intake. Radiators are all freshly blown out in last few weeks, but were not that dusty even before cleaning. Only use a dust filter on front...

    High Coolant Temperatures

    You are correct. I dont have an exact measurement for the air coming in through the front rad, but I would say its not even remotely hot.

    High Coolant Temperatures

    Had this current custom loop set up for a bit over a year now I think, but only recently was able to get a coolant temperature probe installed. CPU and GPU temps had been what I thought to be good ( 40-50c cpu / 60c gpu ) during gaming, but my coolant temp gets to 52c during gaming. From...

    Thanks. I was thinking there wasnt many option for glossy, and i think that this is proving it. Thank you for your suggestions.

    OC Leads to vista corruption

    Ya, it may be, but it was cheap, so it fit for what I could do at the time. In hindsight, wish I would have waited for something better

    OC Leads to vista corruption

    Well, I made some progress on the system. I ran memtest several times through on the default memory settings, then when upclocked to 825, and even with the slight overclock it was stable with no errors I found that if I selected ahci it would cause a bsod at the windows loading screen. I...

    OC Leads to vista corruption

    I thought the board would be able to get me to atleast 4ghz from what I had read. So you maybe right. The settings I used just off the top of my head would have been something like 21x multi, 160 blck, 1.25v cpu, 1.81 pll, 1.52v dram, spread spec off, speedstep off, I did however leave vtt...

    OC Leads to vista corruption

    Hello, A lot to read, sorry! Not sure if I have an issue or not, but I have been overclocking my systems for a number of years now. Had good success with my old 775 system, running a e8400 and x3330 @ 4ghz and as much success with my current 1366 rig. In all those years I might have corrupted...

    Old School Water Cooling, xspc x2o 750 gets booster pump?

    Had a idea to boost my XSPC x2o 750 v4 flow/pressure with a maxi jet 900 aquarium pump I had laying around. I don't have the budget right now for a legitimate pc cooling pump, so I was hoping to maybe get a bit of a boost in performance from this "free" upgrade. My system will be raystorm block...

    AMD + PhysX?

    What would probably be the minimum NVidia card to use as PhysX processor? I got an old 8800gts 320mb laying around, would use it conjunction with incoming r9 290 if it would do some good.

    X58 Sabertooth(i7-950) - Keep or Upgrade

    I grabbed the 290 from above and will be ordering a x5650 soon. Once all old stuff is sold off, my total cost for new case, video card, cpu, a few fans, new water cooling tubing and few other odds and ends will be right about $300. Again, I would like to thank you all for the input and ideas. I...

    X58 Sabertooth(i7-950) - Keep or Upgrade

    I had been planning on a minor upgrade to my x58 sabertooth system, going from a 4ghz I7-950 to a x5650 and some case and water cooling updates. My budget for a new system was only about 300, but recently it has come to my attention how much x58 sabertooths are selling for. Mostly I just game on...
