1st fill of water in the loop & detect a leak at one of the fittings on the radiator. Naturally the immediate thought is a leak in the radiator. Calming down 1 sec later It is realized that fitting is not snugged up very well.:( This fill gets emptied anyway as it is intended to clean the...

Ha! I guess they are getting a little embarrassing. Maybe it is a comfort thing as in I know where I can put things in those boxes. Also, I really like Lian li cases & that adds ~$300. I think you are reading things too closely! So maybe .. :o I ordered the m/b from Amazon as 'egg was out at...

After simple metal work to plumb the tubing thru the back of the case, finding screws the correct length is the biggest PITA. The screws that come with the uber German fans are ~5 mm too long to attach the fans as is to the radiator ... they will screw into the radiator's fins. :( Why even...

LOL ... ... tell what you really think DarkStarr I would be interested in what you end up with & more how you get there.

LOL Newegg The parts ordered last Friday, and early enough in the day to be shipped before end of day on Friday, still have not arrived. Erst while, the main electronics ordered Monday this week ~noon, arrived yesterday!! The plan was to have the WC parts in hand & could scope things out a...

Pics? Promises promises LOL You know, you work, you work hard, you are young(?) ... get yourself a reward that will last for at least a few years. You'll feel better & can make it all back with bonus. Hopefully you are not wondering why you are still single tho. Just sayin' :D So any...

Yes. I am hoping that that 990X is real beasty. I ordered the electronics today. I am planning to get the WC worked out ASAP. I am experienced with this stuff, but I forgot to order a bottom T to help draining the system for maintenance. I don't have it in the current system and am at the...

do we still like this HDD ... the most? Or at least mostly more than most others? This is the 450 GB version. Also, can anyone give me good arguments for 1 TB+ HDDs? I have one ... a really cheap Hitachi. Defragging this thing is impossibly too long ... a weekend I think?:eek: Or maybe I am a...

finally dropped the hammer I have decided to build an i7-990x /w Asus P6X58D Premium /w 24 GB RAM ... maybe Patriot Viper & haven't decided what brand of RAM just yet. I will make that order next week. Yesterday the PSU & WC parts were ordered ... Seasonic 750X & Switftech Apogee XT from...

'tis a day gone bad for poor Thari-Nar the poor lad his world 'nocked ass-under by the evil laugh of the Fedex deliverer One wonders about the tooth missing wanna be shot putter Did this shot make his mark at least?

sandy bridge versus which i7? Those are the claims. At $220 I will have no fear:cool: ... crank up the voltage!! Except .... there was some documentation of 1156 sockets literally burning out from over current. THAT could be upsetting:mad: As far as performance comparisons to old i7, this is...

Decided to take a cold shower & wait a couple of weeks for SB to see what they can do ... OC-ed versus old i7s.

Instead of the i7-990X at $1K, what is the next CPU that anyone is aware of OC-ing to as ... high as they get with water.

I like the idea of getting HDDs out of the case. Not fond of more stuff on the desk, but there are probably arraignments to hide the drives and even move around to other systems. Following the link to their web site shows that whole thing can be disassembled and there are grommeted holes for...

long winded description I have seen references to both the 990x & 995x ... suspicious but I haven't been watching very close until quite recently. The software I use does have an option, for more money, of setting up different versions of the same problem via what is described as network...

*now* is not the time to buy anyway. In Q2 the i7-995X is supposed to be released and supposedly for $999. Waiting for people to pay me now anyway.:mad:

Good thoughts ... wonder what the memory limit will be for Sandy Bridge. For the i7-920 I have now the RAM cost > $500 for 12 GB. I noticed just yesterday that 24 GB could be plugged in and that will cost ~$335 from 'egg. Ha! Hadn't occurred to me to *not* use Water Wetter. How long has your...

I think Glider's thoughts could establish a base line and maybe provide a means to multiple follow up comparisons. The suggestion is that this would establish a maximum possible rate for the pair of NICs + cable. Adding various switches back in to compare switches, boot with Windows to see...

Also, thanks for the comment about the SSDs not being worth it. I have "felt" that since they were introduced, but have been getting drawn to the dark side.:o Is network performance evaluation about a program trying to stuff the network pipe? And/or about cross put between a drive and the...

Interested! :cool:
