Yeah, just gotta wait on ordering anything else right now.
Running a bit low on the funds.

I probably should at least get some thermal paste, mounting tape, and fans, but I am going to see if I can mount the radiator with some screws first.

Not really going to be getting much done right now, as it's the weekend and have some "social events" lined up.

=GzR=SmokeyDevil

I decided to take a few minutes to snap a few shots and just do a test fit of where some of the new components will be going.

Got some good pictures of the tubing I will be using.



The pump.



Possible pump placement.




Radiator placement.



Don't have any funds at the moment, so won't be doing much as of yet.
I guess I can work on getting the holes for the wire management cut, but my week might be busy...we'll see.

go4life

good work! but you need to clean that rad in the front
Btw, where is all the GTX's???

Yeah. Works fine for now, but will have to give it a thorough cleaning when I pull it out.

The other 8800GTX's will be back in eventually.
One of them died, so I had put through a EVGA RMA.
As I said before, they sent me a 9800GTX+ instead, so I had to sell that, and purchased a third 8800GTX through Ebay.

I had taken the cards off of the watercooling and put back the one EVGA 8800GTX with a stock aircooler so I could benchmark and create a baseline for me to use when I benchmark the rig after installing everything again.

go4life

oh, I understand
What do you get in 3dmark06 with the 3x gtx's? and what do you run your x6800 at?

We'll find out when I get the working 3rd 8800GTX.

The X6800 is currently running at stock 2.93 Ghz right now.
I have overclocked up to 3.5-3.6Ghz, but I don't think the liquid cooling can support a stable clock at those speeds. We'll see,once I install the new watercooling components, what kind of overclocks I can get with the cpu.
In the past, I've been able to push it up to 3.7Ghz, but I haven't been able to get it stable at that point. I would like to be able to get it to 4.0Ghz, but for some reason, the 780i mobo keeps on reverting to stock settings when I attempt the 4.0Ghz clock.

hmm.. sounds weird!
Tried to play with the GTL volts?

I've only fooled around with the memory and cpu voltages.
I'd have to take a look at whatever you mean by GTL volts.

go4life

the gtl volts can give you some big increases! so go for it
