Hi guys.
Obviously im new to this forum. Post count no.2.
since this is a modsrigs section, i figured i'd share my rig.
1. the watercooling stuff and tools i used... the rig I worked on was an aircooled rig i built earlier in the year.
TFC 360 rad x2, XSPC restop w/ mcp355, mcw60r gpu core block, ek full board blk, HK 3.0 CPU blk, noctua and scythe fans, bitspower x-station and a spare scythe fan controller, bitspower and fesser compressions and rotaries, silver coils i made from .999 pure silver, antistatic gloves and band, tube cutter, arctic clean 1 & 2, enzotech copper sinks.
2. took out the mobo and fitted it with a fancy HK 3.0 CPU block.
I really like how heatkiller polished the copper and really flattened out the contact surface.
Really no need to lap these at all!
And a shot with flash......
3. Now time for the motherboard block. I went with the EK x58 classi block.
4. We all know stock heatsinks on the GPUs today absolutely.. well... suck.
I never did like full cover blocks, so....
I decided to go with enzotech ram sinks and a swiftech MCW60r2
Great performer imo. I did this for both GTX285s.
5. Now we go onto leak testing and bleeding
6. Rigs done, 24hour leak test free, just bleeding.
7. Pics of the rig running (tad blurred... i lost my tripod! sigh...)
Now you know why its called "Red vs. Blue"
4.2ghz OC w/ 12gb ram @ 6-7-6-18 1T
Idle temp at 38c ( 30c with airconditioner)
linx load temp at 67c (60c with airconditioner)
GPU idles at 38c (28c with airconditioner)
GPU is @ slight OC of 702mhz core, 1584 shader and 1188memory clock
GPU furmark load at 45c
when turned on theres a red glow in one half and a blue glow on the other, hence why "Red vs. Blue". thankfully the idea worked. The case is split in half between a red glow and a blue glow. Me being a fan of "blue" more so than "red", let the "blue" win. Will post pics of it when i have more time.
