I like my CRT, it runs great specs, it's just big.

Although if you'd like to buy me a 2005fpw I'd be much obliged. :) Seeing as though I'd rather put my money into souping up my car and I don't have $500 to spare for one of those.

I mounted mine so it blows right out the back of the case. Plus air is pulled by my 120mm case fan. It looks like yours just hits the top of your graphics card. I suppose thats okay. Also it would seem to be working against the fans in your psu. The Zalman and the PSU are trying to grab the same air, resulting in diminished airflow to both. I'll post some pics later.

02-05-2006, 04:51 PM

"It looks like your Zalman is mounted sideways... did you do that on purpose?"

yes mostly so i could see the pretty blue led on the top.. he he he.. it all kinda glows bluey green in real life.. the camera flash totally hides the effect..

it does blow down on the back of the grfx card and help cool the memory.. seems to work okay the case only runs about 1.5c over room ambient with the side on..

i would normally blow hot air upwards but broke the rule in this case.. he he

blowing towards the back of the case would have been fighting the two rear fans which blow in..

trog

naseltzer

02-05-2006, 04:53 PM

Interesting. I've never thought to use rear fans as intakes. But where does your case exhaust?

trog100

02-05-2006, 05:02 PM

i rely on the power supply to do that.. i also had a 80mm fan mounted in the top center of the case blowing out.. i exhaust out of the top cos thats where the hot air wants to go anyways..

i have a basic principle of in down the bottom and out at the top.. my top center fan has been removed cos it hit the modular power cable plugs.. warm air still passes out thru the empty fan grill.. it dosnt seem to have bothered things not having that fan..

trog

ps.. one thing i dont have an explantion for is via chipsets for some reason dont generate all the heat that nvidia ones do.. i think that helps in my case.. all my fans are volted right down and nothing seems to suffer from it.. my last machine sounded like a bloody aircon unit.. this one runs pretty near silent..

gygabite

02-05-2006, 05:05 PM

The upper rear fans blows air in, the under exhausts the raising hot air from the grfx-card and the vga exhausts, too.

naseltzer

02-05-2006, 05:11 PM

well, that sounds like a pretty good setup. I always sort of liked the idea of have an exhaust on the top. In at the bottom, out the top. When I get home later I'll take a pic of my Seltzertron5000ST. I use a coolermaster centurian 5 case. the entire front panel is mesh aluminum with a filter material behind it. I have a 120mm, an 80m fan, and the psu fan all blowing out. All other vents have been sealed shut with electrical tap. Therefore, the only way for air to get in is for it to get sucked through the front bezel.

02-05-2006, 07:50 PM

Does RAID really help with games? Like with loading or something? And why wouldn't you want the OS on a RAID 0 logical drive? I would figure that RAID would enable programs to be loaded more quickly into memory. Am I wrong?

i wouldnt put OS on raid 0 (from experience) cause if u have some surge in your power supply , if one hardrive in raid 0 screws up u end up losing some repairable to all data , so i keep my OS on one primary drive with all window related programs and software , since my 120gb 7200rpm with 8mb cache it loads up windows exceptionally fast !

games work better in raid 0 because raid uses the 8 mb cache for each drive and combines it so i am getting a 16mb cache working at the same time , and since it splits data on 2 drives its access time increases aswell ! :D

All case fans, and the PSU as well, blow out. All other vents are sealed. Therefore, all air gets sucked right through the front. there is also an 80mm case fan in the front bottom (behind the power button) that sucks air in. It's running at 7v.

pretty nice, man. We have the same speakers. Like the copper ram sinks, too. I tried to stick some copper sinks on my 7800gt, but it didn't work out. 7800 only has ram chips on the underside, and I couldn't find any frag tape strong enough to hold the damn heavy copper on! L A M E.

Oh, you sould get a pci slot exhaust fan.That way that side intake will suck air in, your video card will grab it and cool your card, then the hot air would get blasted out the back.

Fantastic wire management. Mine is a mess, but I can't seem to do anything about it.

The OCZ 520 Modstream is okay but all i've been playing so far with this setup is COD and not the second edition yet to see how my rail amps are doing. So far they are only going down to at least 11.99 on the 12v rail. Yes, it's silent and it doesn't get hot at all.

the pump should be ok like this guys?.i'm just makig some new mounting plates from perspex for the pump.it is mounted at the bottom under the 3.5" drive bays.it is in front of the bottom 120mm fan to keep the pump cool.all the fans run on 7v,the ones on the rad are 7v/12v switchable.

My other computer has the pump somewhat like that, its been like that for mounths, its actually being held by to screws with nuts, because there is specail siding i put on it with very small wholes, the screw going on it and the nuts under the siding. I think it looks fine to me. Pictures arent the clearist by the way ;) nothing to complain about just a little hard to see.

How long did that take you

About 3 months, Spent more time waiting for parts than actual work. And waiting for my checkbook to recover, total cost , around $7500.00

That's a very nice rig you got there, any mods done to the Vapo? Is that a different compressor I see?

Wstinkbait

No big ones. Compressor is stock R404A. I replaced the condenser fan with the same model only adding RPM feedback, Stock fan did not have feedback even though the Chill Control supports it. Added blow hole fan and CCFL light grills. I put temp sensors on the Condenser, Compressor and upper case air. Also put windows on all sides of the upper chassis and replaced the left panel with a full plexi sheet (not shown). The huge 1 kw psu would not fit inside the case, so it went on the outside leaving me plenty of room to Pelt the crossfire cards.

Yes, I have a hard time getting the 3Dmark programs to run in crossfire mode period. 702/810 with 1.35v core and MV @ 2.16v Is what runs stable. Still tiring to find the magic combination. ATItool is useless for overclocking any more so its just trial and error. However most games and 3D programs run fine in crossfire. I get board with running the damn bench's over and over so after awhile I just quit and go play games. lol

that makes sense, lol your rig is pimpin anyways and I guess the extra performance would be merely bragging rights, there nothing that rig won't play as is.

pelt cooled and stock on the cards? now thats a first. lol
it's odd your 05 score is a hair above mine but your 06 score is quite a bit larger, wierd check it out

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=1920402
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=188552

have you tried ocing the cards? sems you could hit 16k in 05 on a set of pelt cooled x1800xt's

lol Im such a dullard - I clicked on this and thought "wow, he's compared this to the the exact same system as me, what a coincidence". Then of course I realised I was already logged into ORB and it WAS my sysytem it was comparing. :ohwell: *retreats to a darkened room, contemplates thinking things through a bit more*

Ive built 2 computer and they look like hell compared to these. Wow those are super nice how did you keep your wife from killing you while you tweaked and built these bad boys. My wifed almost killed me twice the last time. My main problem is wire control and getting parts that acutually work like they say they do. Is it better to use a full tower case for more room when building a water cooled system?

Wstinkbait

07-08-2006, 05:55 PM

Yes that is a problem, lol. I have confiscated the kitchen table to work on them and she's not a happy camper. Just give her an ABC catalog and the credit card to keep her quite.

Yeah thanks for the complement on my set up. The pic is a little old now cuz I just recently added a Razer copperhead mouse to my system and also changed to a fx5200 video card.

This picture is my new mouse though.

Copperhead rules, I'll never use another mouse. Just wish it had the buttons from the diamondback, the side buttons are a little hard to reach.

It's a little messy, I haven't had time to arrange my wires or clean my desk. My specs are over <---- there. The side fan is LED and it has a LED system in the front portholes at the bottom. I really love the way the drives attach inside, it uses a quick connect system that dosen't require screws. It had one for the cards, but I took it off because my X1800 wouldn't fit under it.

See subject-line/title above, & the photos below (not the best, kind of rushed because of request).

My LATEST system, details in signature below: "THE DOOMSDAY MACHINE"

http://img.techpowerup.org/060711/APKNewSystem2Pic1.jpg

Thus, "the mystery ends" on what my system in my signature looks like etc.!

(As is, it could use some work on "aesthetics"! I still need to learn to hide cables better, imo @ least... some of the ones in the gallery lately? WAY way neater!)

Also, E.G.-> I have to add cold cathode lights (2 imo top & bottom), a new lit fan (replacing my top rear exhaust 120mm/5" fan you see now in the TOP photograph) I have just picked up, & I have to dust that lower set of fans that hookup near the Promise 128mb RAM EEC type Caching RAID 0 Controller (w/ Intel SuperIO chip onboard).

The ONLY part that remains, has yet to be released to the public: The DDRDrive x1 PCI-e ramdisk board:

http://www.ddrdrive.com/DDRdriveX1_Prototype.jpg

Replacing the CENATEK SSD you see in the bottom (top photo) of my current system & so I can put it back where it came from, my 2nd P4 3.2ghz SQLServer2005/IIS6.x ASP.NET-VB.NET development lab rig...

Better bus (PCI-e x1 vs. PCI 2.2) & ram types (DDR1, vs PC-133 SDRAM) used, & thus, faster performer (seeks are still unreal on the older CENATEK "RocketDrive" though, & defrags in less than 1 second though on this one even)!

:)

That? That will be the "icing on this rig's cake" imo...

APK

P.S.=> An OLDER SYSTEM I posted here about (GeForce4 Ti4600 "radical mod" I did is in it (posted it in another thread in fact), old DualCPU Pentium III 1ghz rig)

http://img.techpowerup.org/060711/APKGeForce4ModOLDDuallieP3.jpg

You guys can see, you've been a "GOOD INFLUENCE" on me, as I used to build what I call "sleeper rods" (hotrodding is in my blood, lol, & where the term comes from) that were messes inside, but FLEW... apk
