Heh...All i do is wrap it around the power cord right after the wall socket, and it doesn't seem to have any issue giving me a reading in either amps or watts.

You won't have any inductance with the hot and neutral running right up against each other. Well, at least nothing that you would be able to read with an amp probe.

That was used as an example to show others what i'm talking about in general terms....The capabilites vary to a large degree, understand?

Do you know what AC inductance is and what it does?

So how are you getting a reading if the neutral and hot wire are running next to each other? They should cancel out each other's field unless you have a serious grounding problem with your case.

Nice color scheme with the fans!

How are those Corsair's at moving air?

They move a lot of air and pretty quiet (fan controller). Temps are pretty good so far. I will push the OC soon.

Thanks for the comments.

He has a special top secret meter that is super expensive.

It meters aeroplanes apparently

Freaking amazing mullet! Doesn't get better than that! Killer color scheme and hardware! Enjoy it mate

You'll see the power readout in real time as the benchmarks are being run, and in his video, he's using this for mesuring the amount of power being used:

The system plugs right into the device outlet

i used this in my particular case, wich isn't the average inductive ammeter to say the least, given the amount of current it can handle:

Here, because you somehow think an expensive clamp meter is going to help.

Edit : You'll notice the extra tool he's using, which you can make yourself.. Otherwise given you didn't know hot/neutral/ground existed in AC circuits before now I doubt you have one of those either.

[caveman-jim]

just put him on ignore guys...

@mullet - very nice!

[Redeemed]

Mullet, I've over nighted my rig to your place. I want it to look all sexxeh like yours.

You can clamp it around the "tubing". Works better that way.

Actually no, what you will notice is that the one i linked can handle up to 2000 amp currents, wich can only be done using extremely thick gauge wiring that's a bear to strip the insulation to expose a single hot wire or make your magic tool for it....

Guys last I checked this was a thread about posting pics of your computers. Not getting in a pissing match over who is the more educated regarding all things electrical and how certain tools work or do not.

Shadow- your rig is awesome. However I don't care about the tools your using or whether or not you know how to use them.

Pics of rigs or GTFO!

Jussayin'.

Lol. You haven't seen anything. Just ask about the great conduit war.

Maybe shadow could just settle this once and for all with a video demonstrating his magic clamp meter. He obviously has a camera, an internet connection and the desire to educate us simpletons on the powers of really expensive clamp meters. He could even include his computer in the video to keep it OT.

The fact that it measures voltage to boot is even more amazing.

Thanks dude, it was time to drop the LED fans.

@mullet - very nice!

Thanks Jim.

Roger that. LOL



Now lets get back to posting Rigs/PCs and not so much bickering. just sayin.

Mullet, what case is that? It looks really nice.

I did my first proc/gpu's watercooling a few months back. Tubing placement/length was okay for my first attempt but I want to clean it up and shorten the tubing some. So I'll be placing a couple of pics up later and would appreciate some feedback on an efficient/visually aesthetic rework. My main issue is tubing. Imo there is simply too much of it . Thanks.

Amazing as always!

Thanks, she is very happy with it going from an old 775 with old HDD to this.

Early pictures of the system's new home, using a pair of 1200 watt power supplies and 4 radiators with no less than 5 pumps:










Still a few more fittings left to arrive, fans, as well as a lot of sleeving and a massive amount of wiring to do, but it's getting there....

[BababooeyHTJ]

What type of tubing is that?

[shadow001]

What type of tubing is that?

Orange tygon 1/2 inch tubing, UV reactive.....It looks good if the inside of the case is all black.


Edit: the bottom 2 pictures were taken with the flash and the first one wasn't.

Link to where I can get orange uv reactive tygon tubing?

[shadow001]

My bad, it's from thermochill:

http://www.dazmode.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=82_84&products_id=1401

It's very flexible, actually more flexible and easier to cut and thread the compression fittings almost to the very end of the thread on the fitting, compared to the black tubing i was using.


It is a canadian retailer, so it depends on your location as far as shipping costs go, or if there's duty fees involved.

[BababooeyHTJ]

It looks like this is the same tubing.

[shadow001]

It looks like this is the same tubing.

Seems like it since it's made specifically for XSPC, but the pictures always look different from it's natural color, so my first picture is how it looks in the average lit room, though the tube routing will get more work until it's finalised.


For the time being, i'm still waiting on 3 delivery trucks before really going head first into braiding all the wiring, especially all the fans and water pumps and fan controlers and pump controler wiring.

[BababooeyHTJ]

I was thinking about ordering some, it does look nice. Hopefully it stays that way. There is just so many people complaining about Tygon and primochill tubing clouding up recently, well in the past few months. I've heard a couple of people mention this with xspc tubing but I'm not sure how much of an issue it is with that tubing, if at all.

OT but shadow are you Canadian? Looking for good places to shop for mod/wc stuff and daz seems to be the only game for Canadians so his prices are kinda high. Any other good retailers?
