Looking at the 900d case again, even if both h220's fit I don't think the tubes will be long enough if going from bottom of case to top...then I'd have to mess with replacing tubes and it gets messy from there. Need a clean solution.
 
But wait a minute. You have two X5690's and are using two H20 corsairs right? And you're getting...oh wait, you're getting only 4.1 GHz. Hmm, I wonder if I'd get the 4.5 Ghz with two H75's like geok1ng suggested..although he didn't say what clock speed would be expected with that config.

No I have 2 XSPC Raystorm cpu blocks in a custom loop with a 12" x 6" heatexchanger with push pull fans. Heat has nothing to do with my overclocking, I have one really good cpu and one terrible one. One cpu does 4.5 easy very little voltage and the other one gobbles volts after 4.1. Then I like to run memory at full speed and volts do not make any real difference with my corsair ram so my memory only gets to 800mhz with good timings. I can disable one cpu and run at 4.4-4.5 no problem. I am waiting for x5690's to hit $250 before I buy another and get disappointed  lol

And yet you got real good benchmark scores with the stockfish benchmark...or was that geok1ng?

"I have 2 XSPC Raystorm cpu blocks in a custom loop with a 12" x 6" heatexchanger with push pull fans."
 
I may go with the same kit as I've went over the installation manual and I think I'll be fine. Now, what do you mean by custom loop with a 12" x 6" heatexchanger with push pull fans? Why did you replace the rad in the raystorm kit with a different rad/heatexchanger? Temps too high or you just wanted to see if temps would be lower with an even better rad.?
 
If I was to buy this kit am I all set for one cpu or do I still need to buy something else? Perhaps a backplate if it's not included in this kit right...though I think it is included. Just to make sure we're talking about the same one is it: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/20835/ex-wat-263/XSPC_Raystorm_750_AX240_Universal_CPU_Water_Cooling_Kit_New_Rev_4_Pump_Included_w_Free_Dead-Water.html?tl=g30c321#blank
 
I guess I'd need to also buy the water they recommend in the manual (XSPC EC6, $16)...is one bottle (1L) enough for this kit? Or is the free Distilled H20 Additive good enough without affecting temps?
 
Lastly, with two of these kits, is there room to install both inside either the Rosewill or 900d? Or would I have to try to install one on the outside?

Buy the Roswell (save money) call frozen cpu and buy a good custom kit, order straight fittings and some 90's so that you can lay out your loop (waterlines with no restrictions) I have given you the case dimensions already. Hook it all up and enjoy!

Hmm, what do I need straight fittings for? The 90's I can guess :-) In any case, everything needed to cool the cpu is in the kit...these are just to make my life easier and/or my case neater right?
 
And I guess I'll just go with one kit like you as I think it should be good enough to cool both x5680's and if not I'll have to buy another. I'll probably call frozen and they'll probably know whether I need one or two...and what I'd need to cool both cpu's with just the one kit.

wen you idd go for this http://www.frozencpu.com/products/20835/ex-wat-263/XSPC_Raystorm_750_AX240_Universal_CPU_Water_Cooling_Kit_New_Rev_4_Pump_Included_w_Free_Dead-Water.html?tl=g30c321#blank kit or even other kit's whit biger rads like http://www.frozencpu.com/products/21236/ex-wat-271/XSPC_Raystorm_750_EX360_Universal_CPU_Water_Cooling_Kit_New_Rev_4_Pump_Included_w_Free_Dead-Water.html?tl=g59c683s2175http://www.frozencpu.com/products/16550/ex-wat- ,218/XSPC_Raystorm_EX420_Extreme_Universal_CPU_Water_Cooling_Kit_w_D5_Variant_Pump_Included_and_Free_Dead-Water.html?tl=g59c683s2181 or http://www.frozencpu.com/products/22140/ex-wat-278/XSPC_Raystorm_EX480_Extreme_Universal_CPU_Water_Cooling_Kit_w_D5_Variant_Pump_Included_and_Free_Dead-Water_.html?tl=g59c683s2176
you wil need to buy som extras
http://www.frozencpu.com/products/14186/ex-blc-971/XSPC_RayStorm_High_Performance_Acetal_CPU_Liquid_Cooling_Block_-_Intel_Sockets_LGA_115x_1366_2011.html?tl=g59c657s2123 cpu block.

http://www.frozencpu.com/products/11501/ex-tub-172/Bitspower_Chrome_G14_Barb_Fitting_-_12_ID_BP-WTP-C01.html 2x fittings or if you go for the biger rad kits http://www.frozencpu.com/products/15530/ex-tub-1227/XSPC_G14_Thread_716_ID_x_58_OD_Low_Profile_Compression_Fitting_-_Chrome.html?tl=g59c667s2139
and don't forget the coolant the cheap way is go to a DIY store an buy distilled water or what ever you like from this list http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g30/c103/s753/list/p1/Liquid_Cooling-Coolant_Additives-Distilled_Water-Page1.html

Re: EVGA SR-2 and 2x X5680 OC'd 2014/09/30 05:27:21 (permalink)
Then perhaps just go all the way with this latest and greatest:
 
http://www.frozencpu.com/products/23379/ex-wat-300/XSPC_Raystorm_RX480_V3_Extreme_Universal_CPU_Water_Cooling_Kit_w_D5_Photon_and_Free_Dead-Water.html
 
and the extras you suggested with 3ft of tubing and 2x fittings for the 2nd cpu block. Comes with the newest RX480 V3 Quad Radiator. Plus photon seems to look better and hopefully is not a disadvantage over the regular reservoir, and is only $15 more than the other large one you mentioned. The pump is part of the glass reservoir.
 
You also get 4 fans for the large rad where as the large one you posted has a picture of rad for 4 fans but includes only 3 fans for some reason.

the other ex480 whil be dilivert whit 4 fans.
the rx480 whil perform a bit beter,radiator almost dubbel the thiknes of the ex480
rad of the ex480 is 121 x 35.5 x 515mm (WxDxH)
rad of the rx480 is 125 x 58.5 x 534mm (WxDxH)
 
and for 15$ its a nice extra of cooling performance

Ok, then that's what I'll order. Only thing is the 2nd cpu block you linked says is an acetal one while the one part of the kit doesn't mention that it is.
 
Anything else we're missing (so I don't have to order twice and have the build delayed even more)?
 
Btw, Rosewill responded to my fitting inquiry with:
 
The Blackhawk-Ultra case supports CPU coolers up to 7” (177 mm tall) if fans are installed on the left-panel, and up to 7.5” (190 mm tall), if these fans are removed.
 
if I'm understanding it right, the rx480 is 534 mm (21 inches) tall/long. Could their case only fit 7"??

I'm assuming it's the same (the pic. is) but I emailed them just in case so we'll see if they say anything different.
 
Where'd you get those dimensions for the rx480? It's not on that page in the specs (missing).
 
Also, it says the rx480 will take 1/2 x 3/4 compatible compressions. Should I get this instead of the one you said? http://www.frozencpu.com/products/20795/ex-tub-1947/Alphacool_Compression_Fitting_-_G_14_Thread_12_ID_x_34_OD_1913mm_-_Chrome.html

if you go for the 1/2id x 3/4od fittings you gone need to order 8 fittings an the ccorect tubing for the fittings.
i have found the demension on http://www.highflow.nl/radiatoren/4-x-120mm-480/xspc-rx480-quad-radiator.html
this ar the items thad you need to order if you go for the xspc kit

Then perhaps I should just stick with the fittings you mentioned originally so that I don't have to buy so many fittings? And why would I need more anyway? I'm still just adding one cpu block that should require only 2 extra fittings.
 
Why do I need the extra bracket? What's it for? That kit already comes with brackets:
 
RayStorm Intel CPU Waterblock
D5 Photon 170 Tube Reservoir
D5 Vario Pump
RX480 V3 Quad Radiator
G1/4″ to 7/16″ Compression Fittings (Black Chrome) x6
XSPC 1650rpm 120mm Fan x4
120mm Fan Grill (Black) x4
Intel and AMD RayStorm Brackets
Socket 1366 and 1150/1155/1156 Backplates
Socket AM2 and AM3 mounting kit
80mm to 120mm Radiator brackets
3mm Twin Blue LED with 4Pin Molex
5mm Blue LED with 4Pin Molex
2 Meters of Clear 7/16″ Hose
24pin ATX Bridge Tool
K2 Thermal Paste
 
So will the Rosewill case fit this large rad? And am I better off using arctic silver 5 thermal paste instead of the K2 or it doesn't matter?
 
What other fittings can I use? The ones you suggested are now Out of Stock!
 
Lastly, manual suggested ec6 coolant so perhaps XSPC EC6 Coolant - 1L UV Green ($15.99) or it doesnt matter?

Dont waste money on coolant. Buy Distilled Water and a kill coil

sorry i missed thad,you don't need to order extra bracket.
about the fittings,if you go for bigger you need to chage all of them 2 per pice (cpu1 , cpu2 , pump whit res and rad) so this makes 8 new bigger fittings.
and fittings ad alot to the cost of a wc kit.
thermal past maks a big diferent in temp whit evry cooling type.
i dont' know how good / bad the K2 works
evry whone have it's owne favorit, i use arctic cooling MX-2
this is also ar very good past

MX4 is the current leader in thermal paste

I forgot about the mx4. I used it before...although I only have the arctic silver 5 right now. Time to reload.
 
Still trying to figure out if the RX-480v3 will fit it in the Rosewill case.

not my system,i found it on http://www.overclock.net/t/1184838/rosewill-blackhawk-ultra-and-evga-sr-2-build-log.
i am not 100% sure if the 480 whil fit whitoud modding the case, but a 420 or 360 whil fit whitoud modding the case

Looks like a dual rad system, totally different from what we're thinking of. I wonder which one that is? That may be a better idea.
 
What are those little block plates on the motherboard? I assuming it's cooling some chips on the SR2. What are they called or which one is it on frozencpu.com?
 
Anyway, I think this may be what I want as it should give me maximum OC possibilities.

Very nice. I want it! :-))) Can you do a cart load on frozencpu.com with the items needed to implement this? At least as an alternative to the more simple one we've originally come up with.

i don't think thad ek is stil making this blok.
bitspower have made a block for this bord but its also end of live.
alphacool have a block for the sr-2.
here on the forum is nateman_doo ho maks wc blok,and i thik he is stil fabricate blocks for the sr-2.
http://forums.evga.com/NEW-100-Copper-SR2-full-coverage-waterblock-m943648.aspx
if its your furst time whit wc i don't recomand to put the bord on water
 
but if you don't mind to try it.
this is wat you wil need for the bord

Sedat asked me to redo the benchs because the stockfishbench numbers where taken with HT ON. I took the chance and upped the volts to insane levels, for a new Fritzbench world record. I believe sedat will update the charts soon:


As you can see, 25x turbo multi is essential for these results, and i am nowhere near 200 BCLK, so investing in high speed memory or extra motherboard cooling will not help someone with a 5680, which can do 26x Turbo.
 
Grats on choosing the 900d, it is the more water friendly case out there. I would think carefully about the loop, because it is better to have redundancy. I would pick dual thick 240mm rads kits (Ax240). Not only it is overkill for 2 xeons, but having 2 pumps on the loop gives you some measure of redundancy and safety that a large 480mm kit lacks. also going with shorter rads makes installation easier, plus you can use them in other cases/builds.
 
About fans, push pull helps, but thick fans give the same temps using less space and generating less noise. thick + thick fan is better than push-pull thin fan / thin rad.

Hmm. First of all, me and skulstation have decided and been talking about the Rosewill case, not 900d. 900d is so overpriced and the Rosehill should allow for whatever the 900d does, unless you know of something we don't.
 
"As you can see, 25x turbo multi is essential for these results, and i am nowhere near 200 BCLK, so investing in high speed memory or extra motherboard cooling will not help someone with a 5680, which can do 26x Turbo."
 
Not sure what this means. If my 5680's can do 26x turbo then 26x or less is possible. Now, what does it take to achieve 26x is the question. I thought I'd need the extra cooling to allow for the higher mutiplier hence stability? If not, then why cool the board? I guess we need to determine how YOU achieved 25x at that block, and try to go with the same equipment...this of course assumes the chips I'll get can be OC'd to 4.80 GHz. Btw, what temps did you get on that last run with SF? Are you 24x7 stable at 4.8 or 4.7?
 
Again, I just want to get as close to your OC as possible so please suggest everything I'd need to accomplish this goal.
 
Btw, I got a chance to test run that used SR2 with 2x5650 I originally mentioned and with the SF benchmark I got to nearly 17,000 kN/s after about 5 mins at that position. For $1300, maybe it'd be much cheaper to go with that, at 3,000 kN/s less than what you got...and he got that at 4.2 GHz I believe. Although it's too late now anyway as I've ordered the 2x5680's already and am going out now to pay for the SR2 from malaysia at Western Union (keeping my fingers crossed).

Btw, that system was:
 
24 gigs of ram 
* 60 gig SSD OCZ Vertex 2 hard drive (includes original box) 
* 2 matching Xeon X5650 CPU's (these are retail CPU's with exact same batch number i.e. matching pair) 
* Corsair AX1200 power supply (includes original box and all cables) 
* Lian Li PC-V2120 Case with (includes every single screw and accessories it came with) 
* GTX 260 Video card (includes original box and accessories)
 
Close to 17,000 kN/s at 4.20 GHz and HT off. This with 2x ThermalRight Ultra Extremes and stock fans. 4GHz is at 1.28V, 200 BLCK. Temps are low...high 50's. Got me thinking that maybe I should've just gone with this anyway..it's almost a 50% increase over my 3930k.

regrated? You trying to say not to regret going with the x5680's? I won't if I get nearly 20,000 kN/s but much work involved setting it all up, ordering all parts online from different retailers...building the custom cooling, learning curve and all that. $1300 sounds like an easy chicken way out :-)
 
I wonder what you'd get if you were to run that SF benchmark with your 2x5680's? Maybe you can run it for me? Post the speed, volts, blck and temps...case pic would be nice too. It won't take you long and you don't have to install the benchmark. Just one .exe file you have to run.

You mean to go with something like this and a Rosewill case:

and thats it? Pretty expensive too.
