@Akula Care to share some temps?If you can.

 

Temps are great :) Even at heavy clocks.

 

 

@Akula -- amazing job.  Would you be willing to discuss (one) aspect of the build quickly?

  • Reservoir pump outflow -- looks deep inside the guts - any issues with routing or fittings in the (looks-to-be) confined spaces?

 

 

It's quite tight behind the res, the two fittings that connect the GPU & Radiator are side by side with no wiggle room.

Well of course they're going to be great by I want to see numbers!

Sorry if it's too much to ask.

Really impressive build. You definitely have an eye for aesthetics and the skill to get there. Well done. Makes me want to make my PC look pretty...

In regards to CaseLabs, what makes you purchase their cases over other, much cheaper options? Is it solely the build quality?

Akula -- quick question on the S3 -- as it's made a significant impression with me through your build as a proof.  The SSD stealth mount tray located beneath the motherboard -- can it be accessed for maintenance without removing the motherboard tray or does the MB tray lock it in place requiring essentially a core system disassemble to get access to the drives for upgrade/replacement?

Damn that is some good temps friend.

@Akula

Did you ever make a buildlog of that TJ11 you had years ago?

Also impossible temps unless it's either outside in the winter or something > water. Do the math. Considering I'm naked and on an extremely high end water setup with liquid metal TIM and I hit 80c at max and that is considered extremely good.

Pulling your card bud. Screens or it didn't happen. Of course those temps are feasable if you mean non synthetic stress temps, even then they'd be pretty good :P if your gonna fib Atleast make it reasonable.

Who the heck are you talking to? Myself or Marto? I believe that Marto only hit 56C max on his 4770k with the IHS off. Most likely he used CLU, a very nice waterblock, and a very low vcore requirement. That, and the delta in his loop is very good no doubt.

as i said, i am running naked (that means no IHS) and I have 6 of the highest cfm fans available (5400rpm retarded loud) running on 2 360 thick rads (just on cpu) with the best waterblock out, and liquid metal thermal compound.

 

cant recall his overclock, or yours (and im not going back to look, could care less - just noticed i was "quoted" via the indicator at the top of the screen) but if the oc or voltage was anywhere remotely close to mine, and your claiming in the 50c area.. I stand by my declaration.  Consider your/his card pulled.  Screenshots or it didnt happen.  

Again, do the math.. most people try to "pull my card" when i give them my temps with my voltage and cpu (1.5v  & 80c max) until i provide screenshots.  So a 50c max is a joke.  

Of course their are other things to take into consideration such as his/your definition of max.  Was it taken while gaming? because if thats the case then my arguement is moot, thats totally realistic and possible.  I am talking 80c via IBT on maximum.  Not even Small FTT P95 will hit those temps (which is why i use it, to ascertain MAX)  My definition of max is the highest possible temp I can force my cpu to hit with conventional software.

 

Anyways, thats who the heck im talking to...

 

(althought, after reading your post a second time. I'm obiously/likely talking about "marto" and if he is using a low vcore than its totally possible.  apparently when i posted it could have been late at night, or i could have been skimming, but something must have led me to believe the vcore and overclock in question was in the ballpark that mine was, hence the comment.  I'm a realist not an internet flame-starter.  And with that being the case, if it was with a low vcore, then perhaps this bickering is all for naught :P)

Beautiful build! Out of curiosity, did you ever put a 2.5" Himuro in as well?

 

Those polished blocks are spectacular!
