  1. Is a custom fitted waterblock to an original air cooled gpu. Can't confirm that all thermal pads made contact with the vrm and memory as i haven't pulled it off to check this. Will take at least two hours, a process which I am dreading as it is a highly customized water cooled loop :S
  2. Yes I have the stock cooler still. I was getting 48C under full load.
  3. Hey Everyone, I recently watercooled my graphics card, was playing games for two days after doing so (Asus Direct CUII GTX 670) with all going fine, then about the 2nd night after the procedure I was watching youtube when the screen started to freeze for short periods of time appearing sticky. About 10mins later the system froze, crashed, and since then I have not been able to boot all the way to the desktop. The screen freezes as the Windows 7 logo begins to form at boot, just before the login screen. Since then I have done a reinstall of a clean setup system image with the older Nvidia driver 314.07. Same scenario however. I have done a completely fresh install of Windows 7 64bit, installed all motherboard graphics drivers before install the latest Nvidia driver 314.22. As soon as I install the driver and reboot, exactly the same thing happens as before where the screen will freeze during the boot sequence, just before logon screen. Should I be worried that something did go wrong in my work in installing the graphics water block wrongly? As I mentioned, I was playing games (Blood Dragon) for two days prior to this occuring which began during watching clips on youtube. Or is there something else I should check maybe in the registry? I am seriously confused and scared also that my GPU may be dead. Any advice and guidance on this matter is greatly appreciated.

  4. Nice build mate, I like your colour scheme!
  5. Thanks mate! Yeah make sure you do, this was my first and I enjoyed it a lot. Is nice to use something that you designed and built yourself.
  6. Just another update msg here guys, I have received pretty much half of the components for my next build which will be in the Bitfenix Prodigy. The plan is to build a Windows Home Server running WHS 2011. Will be running with a dedicated RAID controller and 5x3TB WD Red drives in raid 5 for a 12TB server config! Stay tuned.
  7. Cool looking build mate, will be a beast!
  8. Just a thought, if your going to upgrade to two Titan's, why not upgrade to x79 as well?
  9. Hmm yeah it's not too dusty....
  10. Haha cheers mate preciate the view! Yeah I would be very happy if it were to get featured on Live Stream! =D I am going to be uploading another video this afternoon of it with the side panel removed. Will be up in about an hr from now.

    Sounds great, when can we expect some pix? Glad to see you swapped the 1200W PSU for a Corsair AX 750, I have that PSU in my build with a GTX670 and overclocked i5 3570K to 4.4GHz and it is only utilizing half of the PSU's max output. The 600 series of GeForce cards don't even top out at over 200W, so with a single gfx card system no need for anything higher, even two cards it can handle without a sweat, really good quality pwr supplies. I have the Air Penetrator fans also on my radiators, they are sooooo good! Maybe check out my rig and see if u get any ideas to ponder...?
