    Every was fine....until.

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

      I woke up last Saturday morning with a amazing idea. (keep in mind everything was running fine)

    I swapped watercooled 980 Ti to my X99 motherboard ,and watercooled Vega 64 to my X370 Crosshair VI Hero.

    Basically trading places.

     

     X99 no longer post... has some power but not all there. No worries cause i used another spare X99 board.

    But....when i was measuring  flex hose for Vega 64 on C6H .( I had one end on the barb ,and was measuring length.)

    Getting my length i then proceeded to remove tube from barb to cut.

    As i struggled to pull hose off barb ,it was on there real tight.

    It suddenly broke free,but in the process i bumped the Vega 64 card bending the hell out of the PCIe slot. 

    I have straighten back. It still works kind of. 

    PC won't post with DP cable hooked up.

    I have to unplug it..then make sure PC boots then plug DP cable in.

    (PC runs fine like that. Gaming,Stress test, etc.)

    Question: Am i flirting with disaster running it like that?

    Twas the Night Before Tom's Christmas

    in Off Topic

    ‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through Tom’s House,
    Not a fan blade was whirring, nor a left-handed mouse.
    The desktops were hung by some Windows 8 fare,
    In hopes that Steve Ballmer was no longer there.

    The fanboys were tucked, all snug in their beds,
    While visions of bent iPhones danced in their heads.
    And Samsung quite smug with its latest rendition:
    The Galaxy gingerbread-scented Edition.

    Then came the sound of a bad hard disk platter;
    I went to call Seagate, just what was the matter?
    On hold for two hours 'fore explaining the crash,
    Tech support in Mumbai said I should have used flash.

    Then out on the lawn I saw such a strange sight;
    Almost sharper than 4k 'gainst snow’s blinding white.
    When what on my Oculus Rift did appear,
    A red Tesla S, with Nvidia's gear.

    Sporting skills of a gamer, steering reckless and quick,
    I knew that the driver was jolly St. Nick,
    More rapid than Broadwells, his coursers they came
    Processing threads as he called them by name.

    “Now, Intel! Nvidia!
    Now ARM, MSI!
    On, Gigabyte! On, Asus!
    On Raspberry Pi!
    AMD’s Captain Jack!”
    And I then heard him call,
    “Now overclock! Overvolt!
    No P-states at all!”

    As GeForces blazed lanes of PCIe,
    I was fearful they would exceed max TDP.
    With each snap of the cord, the faster he flew,
    In a race he’d beat WiGig, and Thunderbolt 2,

    And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof,
    Some fans kick on hard, and a water-cooled loop,
    Devil's Canyon engaged, and as I turned around,
    Down the chimney a robot St. Nick did abound.

    Built from a hodgepodge of spare parts and components,
    He stared as he flashed his BIOS for a moment,
    He was made of case panels from NZXT,
    His head an ASRock board with a red LED.

    His eyes—how they burned! His visage, so scary!
    His cheeks cooling hoses, his nose MX Cherry.
    With no mouth or jaws, just a speaker and grill
    Blasting dial-up sounds, so uncomfortably shrill!
    His PSUs flew past the kilowatt peak,
    The smoke belching off of his head like a wreath.
    The SSD RAID 0 right in his big belly,
    Stored every Christmas song by Andrea Bocelli.

    He was chunky and sharp, a right nasty old elf,
    And I dropped my controller, in spite of myself.
    With a spin of his head, he gave me a wink.
    "How much did it cost, that display with G-sync?”

    Then his fans all went silent, he went straight to work,
    And filled up his sack with my stuff (what a jerk!)
    He flexed pixel shaders, and thumbing his nose,
    He accused me of hacks. Up the chimney he rose!

    ‘Midst confusion and terror, I whipped off my Rift,
    And eyed starry skies and an empty snowdrift.
    In the darkness I sighed . . . all a cheap VR trick!
    No evil and cruel PC parts-built Saint Nick.  

    I slipped back inside, it was time for some gaming,
    Took my Razer BlackWidow and prepared for n00b shaming.
    With joy I proclaimed, blasting villains on sight,
    “Happy holidays to all, and to Tom’s a good night!”

    I have the Samsung 4k(TN) ,and the Dell P2715Q 4k..mmm all that IPS goodness.Only thing with the Samsung is no vesa mount,and tilt only.The Dell was an awesome deal when it first launched $503.00 with promo codes.I couldn't pass up such an awesome deal.Ps..Dell comes with a mini -DP to displayport cable. Samsung comes with DP cable

    H100i or H105?

    in Custom Loop and Exotic Cooling

    Posted

    I had my H100i for  since Z87 came out. Runs great,idol temps 28c to 35c. But...the Led has to be set every time i start my PC.Link does not remember my settings anymore no matter the version.Also mutiple cables have to be routed from the block.Where as my H105 you just route one cable and choose from three color rings with white led in the middle.So simple i love it. Performance is slightly cooler,but i live in a desert climate.Also the H105 is thicker so make sure you got 65mm(this is with one set of fans) of clearance to the top of your motherboard.

    Did i finally win the lottery

          After swearing not to upgrade till X99,from Z87.I found myself buying a Maximus VII Formula, and running my 4770k with it.Fast foward two weeks later,and this morning i decided to push my 4790k to 4.8ghz for the hell of it.Now before you go on about temps.Keep in mind this is a brand new H105,and i live in a desert area 

    where our summer heat hit 117 degrees.I just thought i share some of my early Saturday overclocking screen shots.Both stress test were stopped by me, no bluescreens.No throttling at all.

     

    First run aida64,just set the multi to 4.8ghz 1.29v in bios then F10.

    Second run,4.8ghz 1.25v

    My third attempt was to try 1.20v but bluescreened as soon as i started aidia64 stress test.
