Is that a micro you are going to be benching on nate? - long time reader since the first first time poster

Nope,  Just had it there for scale.  I am making a full coverage waterblock for that micro (click on the X58 micro block link in my sig to follow that).

Welcome back btw!!

One down, one to go. Mobo is done too...3-4 coats...man, this is taking forever.

Do you think this is overkill? I'm also thinking of using a square of foam insulation over the gpu chip area.

It takes me a full day to get a 295 all sub zero prepped.  Looks like your going for blood now.  ;) 

BTW I was fooling around last night and had my chiller somewhere around 44°F liquid temps.  I was hitting around a 43K w/physx.  Just saying the hunt for 47K is coming back.   CPU was around 1.4V 4.6GHz  0 VTT and Auto ram timings.  GPU was 800/1200.  Just trying everything ALL over again from scratch.  Threw away my old book and starting fresh. 

yep. i can safely say i would have now killed 47k with 2 gtx295s...lol

I would let you have mine but I'll need it for my tek 9.

if you we're closer...i would just trade you for a few days.

Haha. That would be cool. Where are you btw? I'm in FL.

im in california.

i have been trading my friends, so i could bench their cards.
and since im not trying to tear their cards up...all is good.

Yea I have seen the micro block and all its amazingness.  I would like to get into benching I am just to afraid to get my main system into it although I have thought about building a cheaper amd system for it.  

but I love reading this it is always fun.

Just bench it on air. I'm stuck on air until the rest of my CPU loop gets here. Just need to decide on a RAD, and then order it and fittings/tubing.

'Course, over summer it'll be different. DICE then, big maybe on LN2, finally gonna own Q's single card score. 980X + 295 on DICE or LN2 is a winning combination.

What would you do then Q? Let's say I benched like this: CPU @ 5400Mhz, RAM @ 2000Mhz, GPU @ 925Mhz/1275Mhz, and put out a MONSTER score on LN2? That'd be fun. In any case, DICE should do for the first few sessions. Then we'll see about LN2. Gotta find some suppliers here, see how much it costs etc. I'm not sure if my mom will let me, she's finally come around to the idea of DICE, all it would take is getting her to let me try it once, then she'd see how it is and stuff. Which means she'd cave.

Then... All that you know is at an end.

Halo the air bencher will be no more.
