Hmm I think I'll hold off on it for now, and get a R3E later on.. Better warranty etc.

I bet!  I can't even imagine.... 

Are you learning anything at least? 

 

Learning way too much.  Like trying to take a drink of water from a fire hose. 

 


That sounds painful really.

@Halo: What are your old mobo and cpu? Also, imo, don't get bstock. it's not worth the risk with a $300 mobo.

i7 930 and E758 first gen, so green/blue not black/grey. And I agree, that's why I'm not going to. Also now keeping an eye out for a 295+ 2 waterblocks, mostly just the waterblocks though don't have the $$$ for another 295 atm.

You mean another chiller reggie?  What's the second pic?

Just a frosty block, that one is crap though its gold plated, LOL I just found one I made from pure copper though. Its was supposed to be an evap for a direct die but will be a cpu block for now. Ill use the crappy 478 goldplated block for gpu/northbridge not sure yet. Should be ready to test tomorrow night.

second pic looks like an evap on a phase. Reg, i know you have been trying to build your own phase so maybe you finished it?

No ran out of cash for it still need a few pieces the tools are crazy expensive and the evap/suction lines are pretty hard to braze so that will be some time before I knock that out.

yea I know but its a skill I would like to posses, those lines go for like 200 bucks plus shipping if they were half that then I would do it for sure but 200 bucks is a little much. What happens if you jack one up??

in theory its pretty simple.... however getting everything to do what you want it to is tough.

exactly what i was thinking...till it broke...and trying to fix a flex line is not considered easy...at least, that's what the experts said...
if you dont put the cap tube in the flexline...then it's far easier.

What the hell did you go and do now john. Break the VapoChill again? Man. Kids these days. Give them a new toy and they just tear it up.

Well I was hoping for better results, e7500@ 1.58vcore benches no problem @4.7ish idles around 30 degrees dosent go above 37. Thats where the sensosrs stuck. I think if I rework the mount I should be able to get 20 degrees out of it if not more. I really want to bench @5ghz. The coolant temp stays at -29

the vga gpu, I got one of those too havent used it since it started acting funny with my 280. Sorry about your loss.

damn, would have gave you a deal on the koolance block i had laying around

taking an indefinite leave of absence?

ahh, guess so..overclock.net.

Reggie?! say it ain't so?!
