SO MUCH BROWN!! Looks really beast though, you might want to think about covering them because of dust, though. Actually a good idea would be to mount the fans on the back, that way you hide them from view and you make cleaning the rad easier, you just wipe it from time to time or mount a fine mesh in front.

 

Are you load temps in the negatives?

 

Lowest they could possibly be is room temp.

Might get the rad cover, but the nf-f12 work best as a push fan, otherwise all that clever directed air stuff would be pointless, and because the rad has quite a low fin density the directed air flow is very important...

I'm curious whether that actually makes any difference, I mean since they're mounted directly on the rad, very little air is supposed to be able to escape whether it's mounted on the front or on the back or whether whether it's directed or not shouldn't really make much difference.

Yes it makes a difference, and as this rad is 60mm thick more so...

Why not, it's been proven time and again that there is no difference between push and pull performance even with NF-F12s.

Thanks 

 

Having to do some more research on the full range of asus digi+  controls and there effect on voltage above the set bios value, as need to put the Voltage up to get to 5.5 Ghz and its going to be very close to kill load.

 

Still got issues with ram so may have to pull some out to really give it the beans...

 

Its stable @ 5.3 now, but running standard clock as doing import design work over the next few days and don't want any issues until I fully test it out...

 

Will have to do a fresh install as there is something messing up the cinebench results they are coming out lower than they should be, passmark is telling a different story altogether?

I would be very surprised if you managed to kill a motherboard but I suppose when your cpu is using all the power.

Ever looked into water chilling? it's not as expensive as it used to be....

condensation is the problem, looked into it in quite some detail, as as my loop keeps the water about 3c above ambient room, its doing a good job...

They are not too bad, they were on Amazon for a stupid price so treated myself, but would give them 8/10. but for the price I paid they are a total bargain !

so have this cool your loop and have no radiators?

 

Personally I would use rads but from what I can gather you don't use one, no.

 

Custom PC (Bit-Tech) break theirs out whenever Intel releases a Extreme CPU. And condensation isn't an issue because it's not extreme chilling, just keeping the coolant down under ambient room temps.

 

If you need any more info I would pop over to Specialtech forums and ask there.

You have my old keyboard, I used a cyborg v7 before going mechanical :)

Dont know why but this one is my favourite, got a few mechanical keyboards, but they dont have large programmable buttons like this, and with illustrator & photoshop etc... they're well handy for shortcuts....

makes me want to push my 2500k...

 

I can run it stable at 5 GHz with air, just not comfortable doing so.
