Show Us Your Rig [3]

[linnemeyerhere]

It's funny the fine points we worry over. I guess we need to realize these are good problems to have, Your system is blazing quick but we always strive to lower temps and possibly push the limits just a little bit more. I'll report my less than scientific results with switching my fans around as well as my first venture into crossfiring.
By chance are you speed controlling your Noc's? I run mine wide open as they are virtually silent. Oh and my pump is permanently set for max performance.

So are you going to get another hd5770 or upgrade in the crossfire

I still have a HD 5770 Diamond wink wink in mint condition .............

Alan, My nocs and the pump are all connected to the PSU and run 100% all the time. The pump shows 2350 RMPs.

A while back I posted some pictures of my case and since then I have slowly worked on doing some slight modification on my case. I also want to add a momentary pilot switch on the top but not sure where or how I do this since the ones I ordered from frozencpu looks different from the guide I read on mnpctech so if anyone could shed some light on how I connect the 2 pin cables I bought from mnpctech that would be awesome, picture of the switch is at the bottom. And for being the first I ever do anything like this I am happy about the result

That looks to be one cool customer of a rig. I too love my Noc's. as they are one of only a few fans that can run wide open and be totally silent. Great job and I so long for the time when I can order my 800D, I'm actually hoping they will release a Ver.2.0 soon.

Yeah, considering all the noctua fans I have and that all of them are running at 12v its not that bad at all, the little noise that does come from them is hardly noticeable, it was way worse before I added the rubber grommets thou.

 

[linnemeyerhere]

The fans without them vibrated the aluminum? So what type of grommets did you use? I may have to get me a gross of those. Yikes so I just ordered 16gb of 2133 G.Skill Z series ram, my first venture away from Corsair and my first venture into OC'd ram. I will need some help and hopefully someone in the know will step forward with suggestions.

Cooling Fan Silencing Grommets

I used those, and not really sure how much they helped or because I removed the mesh that was on the case, but doing those 2 things brought down the noise quite a bit, so right now I think I am only hearing my graphic cards fan right now

alright folks just a quick post cos im proppa gob smacked. ive just installed my new Fx-6100 and im proppa shocked with the temp. my 965be idled @ 35c. this thing idles @ 10c. SHOCKIN S*** i dont know load temps yet as ive not messed about with anythin yet

 

[linnemeyerhere]

ganjiry,
I'm shocked as well and may think that something just isn't registering correct as that seems fantastically low for what's going on. Keep us in the loop if these numbers are backed up by bios and other programs.

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Still waiting for my 2133 ram to arrive but the 2nd R5770 Hawk just arrived.

ello again
yeah your right. somethin is not right . in the bios its reading as 26c but core temp and aida are saying its idling @ 1.4Gh and around 11c. when it clocks up to 2.4 the temp goes straight to about 20c and i think the max temp the core temp registered was abou 40 ish ingame. i cant really remember.
aida x64 is also saying its an engineering sample. i uninstalled and redownloaded a newer core temp but its saying the same. im totally lost

edit: ive just been forum moochin n found a few different forums saying that the fx-6100 are getting low temp readings with core temp,aida, hw monitor and the only one that gives a true reading is amd overdrive. so im gonna go get that n see if its any different there. aparently the readings are off by about 10c. underneath say 10c

edit 2:ive just spotted in aida 64 it says cpu 27c then underneath its says all the cores are around 10c 27c then all the cores

those msi cards look nice in x-fire linnemeyerhere

edit3: as it says in tall the forums i read. amd overdrive is reading 22 ish on all cores @idle. it was also mentioned about them showing up as engineering samples.

ganjiry, that's part of the 'fun' running new chipsets. Most of the utilities can't read it right. It takes them a while to catch up. But, it all gets worked out in the long run. Good job.

 

[essenbe]

Good job, Alan. It looks nice, I'm sure you're proud. Well done. Only one thing. What the heck is that Antec fan doing there? I thought you were a Noctua guy like me. You'll be prouder when the new ram arrives.

 

[A Guy]

That's his spot fan, rotates to point where needed

Well done mate, looks very good! I noticed my new card with the 3 fans on them gets pretty loud at full load, seeing as you have 2 with 2 fans each does the noise bother you? Or are those silent fans of some kind? Anyway, it looks very good, congratulations!!

cheers chap
i will be keeping a close eye on it tho

 

[linnemeyerhere]

I thought I would install the spot fan to help add a flow of air to the top card, I have it set on it's medium setting and it's very quiet. I would like to figure a way to place a Noctua there but I haven't sorted that one out yet. With luck the ram will be here later today and will install with out me removing my radiator? I'll be asking for assistance with how to set them up as I've never set timings yet in bios.

 

[Dave76]

Just let us know, someone will be able to help you.
