    Benchmarking High Scores

    It won't OC at all. I've been trying all day and anything above default settings for either the CPU or the ram and it either BSOD's or it hard locks. Oh well, it's fast as hell at default settings as it is.

    Big Bombastic Bastich

    The rest of the parts made it today and I've been a busy little beaver. First I promised a shot of the fillport and so here it is; It's on the off side of the case to allow you not have a problem with the tubing interefering with the ODD power and data cables. Here's the front all...

    Big Bombastic Bastich

    Minor update, I got the rest of the parts in and routed all the power, usb and front panel connector wiring and did a test POST and it fired up and ran like it knew what it was doing. I'll tell you what though, it takes a bit of time to check that much ram.

    I've got the mobo in and all the plumbing done, the fans are mounted on the rad and as I write this it's running it's leak test and getting the air out of the loop. I did run into a bit of a conundrum, the blocks are big enough (on the GTX's) that they block the next pci slot and the hardware...

    Whoops - don't try this at home...

    I've probably got more hair than anyone else on this site (aside from Jen that is) and I always wear a hat, I've had one on my head for damn near 25 years now :) I love hats, they keep the sweat out of my eyes when I work, the hair outta my mouth when I eat (yes it's that long) and the sun...

    The rad is 100% copper and brass, no one would be so stupid as to make a rad out of such disimilar metals since given the slightest amount of moisture it would start galvanic corrosion and the rad would eat itself. Trust me, the pictures don't do the paint justice, there aren't any fisheyes...

    Did I go overboard?

    What size is it? Nothing's too big, size does indeed matter in case you didn't know.

    If you look at the top of the case you'll see where the hole for the PSU had to be enlarged, the line for the case roof is almost 1/4" raised in that area. The front of the case as it will look assembled. The front of the case with the "doors" closed. And this is where I'm stopping...

    Well, the case, PSU, ODD's, Fan Controller and (w00t) a tube of AS5 (this big box with just the thermal paste, go figure, it was in an order with other stuff) arrived today. Here's what went down; That's where the rad will live. I used a pair of bay covers from my PC6070 to make...

    Buying a new PCI-e Board Need advice

    Get the GS, there's not a considerable amount of cash separating the two and the 6800GS will handily spank the 6600GT.

    That isn't spray paint. Trust me, it's a very, very shiny metalic painted surface, it's not some rattle can job. As far as I know you can't anodize copper.

    Here are a few pics of the WC gear; The D5 The Black Ice Extreme II The whole works, pump, rad, fillport, tubing, SLI low-pro waterblocks. The hardware and ramsinks aren't in the pics since I didn't want the small parts loose in a house with three cats, one of which is a kitten...

    As a few of you know I'm building a PC for a fellow from Miami. It's based on an 4800 X2 A64, A8N32-SLI Deluxe mobo, 4 gigs of Patriot 2-3-2-5-1t ram, 2 x 74 gig Raptors, a 400 gig 16mb buffer WD sata drive, 2 x BFG 7800GTX OC vid cards, X-Fi Elite Pro sound card, Danger Den water cooling kit...
