You could try possibly rotating the mounting position of the cpu block portion. If it's making that much noise, maybe the pump is finicky about mounting orientation. If people note that tilting the case sometimes remedies the problem, it's worth a shot.
I just snagged some of the GSkill Ripjaws X that was on NE's shell shocker the other day. I'm still on X58 too, but some things you might wanna consider if you plan on upgrading to 1155 or 2011 sometime in the not so distant future:
1.5v for RAM is probably a wiser choice than 1.65v RAM (for...
+1 for the Lancool K62.
Side window, blue LED fans stock, and excellent cable management options.
I just built a new system in a different case but you'll have to pry that Lancool from my dead hands.
Really cheap next to other cases I'd consider contenders.
-edit-
The K62 has one flaw IMO...
Rig is about 99% complete.
Still need to do the following minor details:
1) Replace the blue power switch with the red one when I receive it from Lamptron RMA.
2) Seal up some minor light holes in the front panel on the MB side.
3) RAM cooler still needs hacked up to fit correctly. Not...
Well it didn't play nice, lol. Had to armwrestle this D0 for 4ghz a bit.
Sitting at 1.2375 in BIOS, although CPU-Z shows 1.247 idle / 1.270 load with LLC/anti-Vdroop.
It is prime stable for 20 hours at that Vcore.
I do have a newer D0, so it's probably just one of the ones that needs almost...
Phase always seemed a little too extreme to me, but then again, so did water, so who knows lol.
Quick update,
Priming at 4ghz (21x191), stock settings besides bclk, just turbo enabled this time :)
-edit 2:16pm-
Prime BSOD'd with 0x1E at 1.22 Vcore in BIOS. Since I have "Without Vdroop" set...
I was digging through some old stuff on a hard drive I had migrated out of my system and I managed to find some data from when the system was air cooled. I figured this might be of interest to those watching the thread that were wondering about temps and how much an improvement the water cooling...
Decided to start in on the OC while I wait for the power splitters.
I seem to have lost my saved sheet of OC profiles somewhere, so starting from scratch. I do remember that 3.8 was cake at stock settings so I'm starting there and priming just in case.
Prime has been going for 1hr as I...
I deleted the email response because honestly the more I read it the more angry I became.
Basically they told me that it was obviously something on my end, because it was just impossible that all 4 PCB's could be bad. They'd also sold "hundreds" of the PCB's with no complaints supposedly (I...
When it rains it pours.
Sitting on a total of $125 worth of useless defective parts, $40 of which retailers have refused to exchange.
PPC's has just lost my business for good. I had planned on just trashing the fan PCB's as they were only like $20. It would cost at least half that to ship...
Well I decided to fire it up and make sure everything worked while I wait for my cables.
Everything's running fine. Temps appear reasonable.
Running Prime95 on all 8 cores with 80*F ambients:
GPU (idle only) - 37*C
GPU VDDC - 35*C

I just posted this in my build log here, but here it is if it helps anyone with the MMT pcb's:
I tried a bunch of stuff to see if I could get mine working. I pulled the velcro off the back to see if maybe that was causing issues, I cleaned all the terminals, nothing really helped except what...
Aigo..
I made a little discovery.
I was playing with the pcb's with my multimeter and trying some odds and ends to see if I could figure out what the hell was going on with them and I stumbled across something..
If you DO NOT use the end plug, the one mounted 90 degrees to the board...
That wasn't the only problem I had with them either. I tried all 4 of mine, only one of them gave more than 5'ish volts per ANY channel, and the one that did I would guess spit 7'ish volts. Some of my Yates wouldn't even start.
Then, the 3-pin input on one of them snapped completely off when...
Thanks guys :)
Unfortunately today was a full steam ahead on the fail boat.
The ModMyToys PCB's are utter s**t. Really don't understand how you can screw up a breadboard with 4 fan plugs on it but they managed to do it. $15 down the toilet there.
I have to order some 1 to 3 or 1 to 4...
Do NOTTTTTT get the boards I linked you.
I've been using one for a couple days and it was working, but the other 3 I have I tried to use today and they are complete garbage. Turns out the first one wasn't even working that well.
Of 4 total, 1 manages to push out 6-7'ish volts, 1 of them...
Thanks! :)
I decided to play with the lighting module for the reservoir a bit last night. It looks pretty good, not overbearing or too dim either. I plan on taking the plug and spray painting the top black so that no light emits from the top of the reservoir or the plug. That way only the...
Well I passed out yesterday evening and woke up just in time for work this morning so it's been bleeding for almost 20hrs with both pumps on, lol.
There's no air bubbles that I can see, even the res is clear until above the water line. The noise in the GPU block went away too, although...
No idea about the company for sure. They've been around for awhile I think, but I've only been familiar with the name for a year or so. They make or at least re-brand lots of case accessories like switches etc.. The boards are pretty new, think they've been out for a month or two tops.
I...
Dime sized pile of goop is a lot. You might benefit from re-applying your paste. How much I couldn't really say, but if you've got excessive amounts of paste in there it's probably not helping. If it was squishing out the sides of the CPU that's a pretty good sign you used a bit much.
I...
And away we go!
Needs moar towels!!
Leak testing went great. Not a drop anywhere I could find after 45 minutes and multiple stop/starts of the pumps.
Bleeding went pretty fast at first, the DDC's quieted down within about 15 minutes. My GPU block still sounds like...
Since I'm new to WC, aigo would probably better answer that question than I would.
I would say it depends mostly on your loop and what you put in it. Since I'm just running distilled and silver, I'll probably drain it in a month or two and inspect everything just to be on the safe side. After...
So funny thing...
Don't walk into a hardware store and put zipties, hose, funnel, superglue, and spray paint on the counter.
After being treated like a meth chemist for 20 minutes, I finally got out of there with my stuff, but yeah...
Good thing I have pics on my phone of my progress...
Eh I'm just a closet perfectionist :P
I just figured it could look better. It doesn't look bad, it's just because the piece of tubing I used there was right at the bend where my coil of tubing was stored so it's just trying to stay bent in the same way it was for more than a month.
Might...
Old case is a Lian-Li / Lancool K62.
The extensions I made myself with MDPC sleeving. I just ordered the Silverstone extension kit and sleeved them myself.
All the old stuff is going back into the new build, it's really just a migration over to water. The only thing that won't be reused...
Well things went really smooth over the last few hours and I'm all but ready to leak test.
Water guru's wanna critique my tubing before I get it wet?
A few quick notes and some things I'm considering to change:
1) The tubing between the motherboard block and the CPU block inlet looks a...
Couple thoughts on the day's work:
1) The Enzotech block IMO just isn't the type of quality you'd see in other blocks. The finish isn't as good as on other brands' blocks and there were some issues with it. First, the block was slightly bent out of the box. The mosfet block didn't fit the...
Next up, tackle the 5850 block.
Before:
I think I was tired when I cut the thermal pads for the block. Not exactly straight lol.
And she's ready to go!
And into the M8's tray..
PSU mounted in the case. Thinking I'm going to keep it here rather than at...
Got a lot done yesterday. Flickr was being stupid so I couldn't upload till this morning.
MB/GPU/CPU blocks are mounted. I'll leave a separate post after with a few thoughts on that process.
Here we go....
I was sad to have to tear apart my baby. She was a looker, but it's time to...
Koolance 370 arrived today.
Planning on getting to work tomorrow or Friday again.
On a side note, I would like to say thank you to EK. They have agreed to exchange my Supreme HF for an all copper version despite the fact that I've owned it for 6 months, never used it, and I have no...
370 (360 at that time i think) was always my second choice. Only real reason I flipped to the Supreme was that it fit the other blocks' theme better. They're pretty much all box'ish nickel/chrome so the Supreme looked right at home. Now i get the Koolance "ninja star" as my gf calls it lol...
Wow. Ordered the 370 today and it shipped this afternoon. Free shipping and a few bucks cheaper than the big name resellers.
Hats off to you Hellfire Toyz.
Looks nice :)
Sometimes I wish I had gone with a white theme. Really like the white HK 3.0, fell in love with it after seeing bundy's frosted one.
I had to go all bling though with the nickel and chrome, lol.
Have you seen all the stuff about the nickel plating problems? I have one sitting right here, but I'm not gonna chance the plating coming apart and thrashing my loop. I'd rather spend another $100 on a block I know will be okay rather than save $100 and gamble on what I'd estimate around $1500...
Thanks again :)
I'll run the tubes the way you recommended. In the meantime I have to figure out what I'm gonna do about this CPU block.
Looks like I'm gonna have to order something else as I'm not gonna risk using the HF, and a copper block replacement won't fit my build theme at all...
