    Benbass got a reaction from HellaflushMcSwaggins in GTX 780 modded w/ Kraken X60   
    Before painting the glass in black.

    Rest of the Album.
     
    Context: I built a standard i5/780 config in a Node304 a couple of months ago but the PC being close to me, the GTX780 became very noisy when it went under load. So when I saw the NZXT G10, I took my chance to watercool the graphic card.
     
    Modding: I wanted to keep the stock cooler for the look (I bought the GTX for that) but I also wanted to keep the pump under the glass and route the tubing at the bottom of the GPU (that was a bad idea). As you can see on the pictures, I had to remove to pump cover to get everything under the stock cooler glass. I had to do some cuts here and there but nothing too drastic. Also I didn't do a good job measuring the tubing length and I had to rethink how to connect the X60 radiator to the back of the case (I couldn't screw it at the end because of the GPU's HDMI cable so I just hung the radiator on the rad holder...).
     
    Result: The GTX780's temps went from 30°/85° to 20°/40° with the same small overclock without overvoltage. But the real bonus comes from the noise level: every fans on the rig are running at the lowest RPM, the PC stays at a 'idle noise level' event under load for hours.
     
    PS: In the heat of the moment, I forgot to do a proper build log, that's why I'm posting this here instead of the build log.
    PS2: Cables management and case final modding are not finished. The graphic card modding took me all day, I'm busted.

    This is the news section not the troubleshooting or PCgaming one. Just because it's GTA it can flood any forum, it's infuriating.

    For the people not seeing the update (I don't): Google always does staged roll outs, so if this update is real, you'll probably be getting it over the next few weeks.

    Is this title written by some baitclick website? Just say that that going offline resolves the framerate issue in game directly in the title, you don't need to turn this forum into a shitty advertising page.
