    so does the spike means that it jumps to 70c then back down or just sitting at that temp?
    Since the previous cooler didn't perform this way, the chance is that the block and CPU IHS aren't contacting well.

    Before you disassemble the loop, try change your D5 speed to increase your flowrate.  If increasing flowrate doesn't give you any change in temp, I would tear the whole loop down to inspect.

    delidding isn't magical, I remember reading a report on anandTech  saying the IHS of Devil's Canyon is too thin so contact between die isn't ideal.  Not sure if it's the same story to Haswell.

    Jumps to 70 and stays there. The instant I stop the test, it drops down to 23 again. 

     

    I've played with the pump running it at max and 3300RPM and less, nothing made a difference in cooling. Leaving it at 3300RPM now since it's the quietest with good flow.

  2. So I have a question. I've got a 4670K Overclocked to 4.7ghz at 1.3 vcore.

     

    I just setup a custom watercooling loop - EKWB EVO block (with EK's recommended 1150 plate and jet) and I have a 140mm hardware labs black ice radiator, and a 280mm rad of the same. So PLENTY of cooling. D5 pump/res combo.

     

    Now for my question - When I start AIDA my temp explodes from 23 idle to 70 under load. (FPU only - maximum heat generation) I don't have any data to confirm this, but my old Corsair H90 didn't make it spike like that that I can remember. Is the heatspreader lid THAT shitty on these? Is delidding worth it?

    'update status'

     

    Status update: COMPLETE - SHIPPED. My excitement builds.

     

    Planning on putting the 280 in the front pulling in, and the 140 in the back where the AIO currently is. 

     

    Still not sure what coolant to go with...  Gonna be getting rid of the HDD cages, the two fans on the bottom, and obviously the AIO cooler.

  4. Today, I ordered the start of my water cooling setup. 

     

    EK XRES 140 Revo D5 Vario pump/res combo

    EK Supremacy EVO Nickel-plated block

    Black Ice Nemesis 140 and 280 radiators

    Plenty of EK HDC fittings and Bitspower PETG 12mm tubing

    All the other misc stuff to stuff this in my R5. Still haven't decided on a coolant yet. Just going distilled and PTNuke until I decide.

     

    Yeah, it's going to be CPU only for now, and I know this is overkill, but I'll really be able to push my overclock! haha 

     

    Ordered it all from Performance-PCs this afternoon and I can't wait to get it, and couldn't wait to share.

  5. I'd skip both of those. Much better fans out there than these.

     

    I have the Corsairs--I got a 2-pack for $20 shipped on Amazon. They're alright, but definitely not as good as I'd like. At 50% or lower, they're decently quiet. Anywhere above that and they're definitely noisy.

     

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA85V36V6187  A friend ran these and was pretty happy.

     

    I'd just ditch the LED fans, and put LED accent lights if you really need the red lighting. It's pretty difficult to get actually good fans that light up pretty colors.

  6. ...Becuase you knowing what goes into PC is important for automotive industry. Sorry, but they are looking for electronics engineer and software engineers. It requires more than such general knowledge you already have.

    If you want to mention it in hobby category, I say I'm into computers. Nothing more.

     

    Oh, wow, Mr. Super Stalker. Please, since you apparently know me, please tell me all about my experience. (Hint, it's further down this post.)

     

    And thanks for your help with the actual question I asked in the post!  :rolleyes:

     

     

    Take this test 

    https://certification.comptia.org/certifications/a

     

    Keep in mind its a bit harder then just GPU goes into PCI slot but its still not super difficult. Check out professor messer he has a free video study guide. its a good starting point 

     

    I've already got my A+, CCNA, and MCSA. Majored in Electrical and Computer Engineering, minor in Computer Science. But thanks.

     

     

    I was literally just looking for someone who's good with words. But it's all good. Had a coworker help me out.

     

    Here is a copy of my CV. It should give you some general ideas on how to structure your CV as you being to move from one career into another. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll be more than happy to answer them.

    Thank you. I'll look it over. 

  7. So I'm updating my resume, and trying to get the hell out of the automotive industry. Automotive was my fall-back growing up, and a part-time gig through college. I got roped into a dealership...... blah blah blah. I want out. 

     

    So. My question:

     

    How the heck would I say (in a super-awesome buzzword-y way) that I have excellent knowledge of and I closely follow the computer hardware industry?

     

    My brain is fried from dealing with these braindead BMW customers all day.  <_<

     

    (apologies to BMW owners on this board)
