new fittings are in cards now in parallel and loop flow rate is a lot better

and cards are running at the same temps



and found a better sli bridge

[BababooeyHTJ]

Looks good, I honestly didn't think that it would make that much of a difference.

Why do you think that going for series to parallel would make such a difference? Shouldn't the flowrate be similar across the loop? I honestly don't know.

temps on the second card dropped from 5c more than first card to the same temp

and the asus Poseidon's only have a 3/16 inch inside diameter tube through them so pipe volume is 4x less than the 3/8 inside diameter inch tube going into them

so in parallel it is two short 3/16" tubes in steed of one long 3/16" tude, it more than doubles flow rate with two cards because of less piping resistance from friction loss and more tube volume


piping rule of thumb if a pipe is half the diameter it takes 4 of them to to carry the same volume
works the same with a/c duct work, so if I have a 12" duct I can split it into 4 -6" ducts and get the same air flow

Is that Phoenix dust in there? Looks good otherwise!

Love the look of the cards. However, I have to say I have never seen the combination of sleeved cables and water cooling look so lack luster with top notch hardware. Come on Bill kick that **** up.

maybe one day, case is just too big for sleeved cables to look good just too much wire showing

Nice clean look. I like.

BTW, I really like your black keyboard.

Well not raptured, but the Lamborghini has no idea what's happening either.

Added an Creative Z and 16 gig viper 3 ram.

Boring compared to you guys
Havent opened her up for a WHILE, was actually impressed with out clean it was. Should clean out the filters and corners tho, but yeah i think its been a yr or more since i opened her up.



[/url]

Time for some upgrades tho... need to change out my c: ssd to something bigger, new HSF (amd default is way too loud when it gets going) and a newer vid when the new AMD cards come out. Or something newer if the price is right, the 670 still going pretty strong mind you.

2007 Called it was it's pc back.

Amazingly clean desk btw.

Thanks, huge pet peeve when its messy.

Nice desk!

However, why do you have your speakers so close to the monitor? I would spread them out more.

You should also pivot them outwards instead of inwards. They shouldn't be pointed directly right at you. I've found this provides a better "surround sound."

[DeathKnight]

Built a new budget machine for my sister.

Specs:

- AMD A6-5400K APU (3.6GHz dual core)
- ASRock FM2A78M-HD+ FM2+ / FM2 AMD A78 (Bolton D3) motherboard
- G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3-1600
- OCZ ARC 100 120GB SSD
- EVGA 430w PSU
- Lite-On DVD burner
- Cougar Spike mATX case











I'm going to see what the temps are with the stock AMD cooler and if they're too high I might swap it out for a beefier one.

Ive played around with the speakers, I sometimes move them a bit farther apart and such, but i dont notice any real difference. The woofer under the desk helps complete the sound. Its more accommodating for me to be able to quickly get at the controls and to have more room on my desk as I sometimes have controllers and my camera gear on it as well. So i just leave them as is.

Posted my personal system earlier in thread somewhere, here's my work setup



Dual Dell U3014's, M4800 workstation with Windows 10, Corsair K70, Logitech G700s, and Sennheiser PC363D cans. Dual HDD dock on left.

Pardon the potato quality of the shot, I didn't realize flash wasn't on

[Ristogod]

Jesus, leave the poor guy alone. Looks fine to me.

you guys are crrrazy!
Used the electric duster, clean as a whistle now. I dunno about you guys, but the smell of old burnt dried dust caught in the deeps of the fans and syncs makes me feel all giddy.

Updated

[nycdarkness]

Still need to wire management. Debating on switching to watercooling or getting 2 of theses

[shadow001]

Just throwing these up....

[ThirdEye]

benches planned?

[shadow001]

benches planned?

Eventually, but it's not at full strength just jet since i'm waiting for an updated BIOS from Asus.....One of the cards isn't being detected, but they're all working fine as i tested them all when they still had the stock coolers on them.


I've been on one heck of a trouble shooting session over the past month and keeping in touch with Asus support the entire time, going thru every possibility one by one, even to the point of doing a fresh install of the O/S itself, and the only thing left is the BIOS itself...Motherboard works fine too.


It's completely stable and works fine with 3 cards though.

[fasedw]

maybe one of the cards got messed up when you removed the stock cooler?, very possible when you start playing with cards and all.

You're a constant reminder of why I never want to build systems like yours.

Treated all 4 just as gently, and besides I was having the same problem with the 4 GB cards as well....Only 3 of the 4 were detected too.

It's the reason why I ran this set for the last 4 weeks with the stock coolers, testing out all the PCI-e slots and having all the cards on the first PCI-e slot and powering the monitors up, to make sure they work, before putting the water blocks on.
