  1. Its really easy to pile on the bloatware, which I really hate having on my system. I keep seeing that its supposed to increase the max performance by 15%. The thing is that its absolute garbage for overclocking. Using a combination of a custom bios and msi afterburner, I have clocked the snot out of my card. So Is that 15% they tout overclocking, or is that on top of overclocking? Thanks
  2. I have the Thermaltake Tower 900, there is plenty of space for a chiller in the back
  3. So... If I were to build up some of these, I want one for myself, and maybe one other one or more if there was some interest. I mean would something like 300 usd be out of line? That is still way cheaper than fsp hydro and is full water cooled. Sorry if I am not supposed to be selling stuff here, but this is all hypothetical...
  4. Does it just bsod when booting into windows? Assuming your ram isn't kill, It just sounds like your timings are messed up. You should consult you motherboard manual to find your cmos jumper, short the jumper to do a factory reset
  5. I would really recommend undervolting. The motherboard will try to push some stupid voltages like 1.4, when in reality you will need ~1.3 or even much less. My stock 3900 was running 1.4vcore stock, and maxed out at 75°c with a monoblock! I was able to drop that down to 1.28 somthing and sits at 52c full load with an oc.
  6. While I do understand that as a concern that people would have, and a hard one to get past at that, The pcb will be potted, effectively water proofing the mains exposed lands. Any risk is not that far above normal water cooling. Unfortunately I recognize that this will be a hard one for people to get around because the general consensus among-st society is that water + electricity = bad.
  7. I have in my system a fully water cooled silenmaxx psu. Unfortunately both the psu and water block are pretty scarce. The other drawback is that I am limited to 600 watts. That being said having a fully water cooled psu is very nice, they are quite, and there is nothing to clog up so I feel comfortable having my pc on the ground. Having large radiators my pc is almost completely quite at full load. The only other option is the hybrid air and water supply. Its pretty undesirable because it still has a fan, and to be honest the concept of a hybrid psu seems pretty pointless to me. I feel as though the task of modifying say an evga power supply to be fully watercooled would not be all that difficult. My stab in the dark would be to first machine a copper waterblock to directly cool the fets on the board, thus replacing the aluminum air cooled heat sink. Then next step would be to snake copper pipes with fins close to all the other heat making components, and potting the entire psu with thermally conductive epoxy. There is kind of a hole in the market as far as watercooled psu's go given that you can water cool ram and ssd's this seems like something that would be more prevalent... Any thoughts?
  8. I have been searching for this but have found nothing. I would like to integrate a chiller in my loop. But would like to use my rads to cool the condenser (hot side) of the chiller. Effectively having a hot water loop and a cold water loop, this would help integrate the cooler in my case. Thank you
