Why would someone give you shit for not having an optical drive? So what if you do not live in the past :)

I have one DVDRW in the server, no other PCs in the house have an optical drive.

If I need something, I put it in the server and ISO it.

If I need to install something I make a bootable USB stick, faster and lasts a hell of a lot longer :)

Case looks good though kiki, very functional.

Put 3 more fans on the outside sucking air.. probably save you a few degrees, especially on the lower one. Save Mr. Scott the trouble of giving you shit too :D

I'm with ya Rich.

I have an optical drive in my server. That's it. No need for an optical drive in my main rig or laptop.

I have a BD-RW in my mobile rig so i pretty much just ISO EVERYTHING i got and dump it on the server and just remote in and go from there lol

That been said, I should have a new mobo mailed in to me soon
Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3 hope that works out in the end.

k so back to this thread again, just got the board and running again, everything runs great expt one little thing....
there is shit still growing in my fucking loop when i added 20 drops of PT Nuke in it

FOOKING PISSED right now

Product Description & Info
Petra'sTech PT_Nuke-PHN is a specially formulated Benzalkonium chloride solution intended for use for non domasses in your water cooled PC. Primarily geared toward systems running straight distilled water, Nuke -PHN is not acidic and will not drop your coolant's pH, making it ideal for use in poorly buffered coolants and situations where corrosion is a concern (since many corrosion inhibitors are optimized for use within a pH range of 7-8.5). However, we do not recommend the use of Nuke -PHN with most "pre-mixed PC coolants" and dyes (though, our testing indicates that there may be no compatibility issue with Feser's UV dyes). Do not mix Nuke -PHN with the original Copper sulfate based PT Nuke.


Instructions & Ingredients:

Use: Add 4 drops per 1L of coolant for approx. 2ppm
Active Ingredient: Benzalkonium chloride 1.65%

Warning: This product contains Benzalkonium chloride. DO NOT INGEST DOM! AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES AND SKIN TU FU! KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN AND PETS, DUH!

• If ingested, do not induce vomiting cause your a moron. Give plenty of water to drink and seek medical attention.

• If contact with skin occurs, rinse with plenty of water. Seek medical attention if pain or irritation persists.

• Contact with eyes can result in corneal damage--AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES! If contact with eyes occurs, go ahead and eat a bullet because your a stupid ass. If sensitivity to light you just might be a Vampire, seek medical attention immediately.

mines old it says 1 drop :P

mines light blue lol

i just wanna make sure NOT a single thing grows in it and it still did FML

Well....

i use my own mix of liquid, now already for one year and it's still clear as hell my liquid.

i buy a bottle of 100% pure Ethylene Glycol (no color) and 100% H²O.

use a mix of 15% Glycol.

After 1 year didn't change it at all, still no green or anything else in my loop, and it runs 16hours a day my rig.

That's the original Copper sulfate based PT Nuke. It's actually better than the new stuff.;)

i have the light blue ones too :D

but yeah like chiller said i am getting ready to mix my own and go from there....

Nice work bruddah http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/r...aka_Remake.png

You have all the stuff running off a 430w PSU with 28 amps on the +12? :scared:

No wonder you have so many problems. Little lean on the power my friend.

thanks guys, i am rmaing my 650 antec i should be dropping it in when it gets back


(is it really that power hungry? i ran that setup with 6x7200RPM SATA drives for like a year with no prob >.<)

all these towers an loops, makes me want to ditch my dust collecting torture rack.

lol, i ran open case for like month lol

A guy named Duke used to use nylon ties instead of clamps. IIRC , he discontinued taht after burning out a mobo... IIRC

kIKI,

I have an unmarked "stealth" 750watt power supply I'll send ya if you pay the shipping. Brand new, never used Cooler Master beta PSU.

I told them I had the i7 975 setup with multiple cards etc and they sent a unit I couldn't use. I tried to send it back but they didn't want it. Not sure how it works, but I would think it couldn't be less of a PSU than the one ya got now.

pm me if you're interested

~MD

A very generous offer. You better jump on that.

Thank you MD!
You sir have a new PM in your box


But yeah I didn't know you can kill a board by under voltaging....
Prob another reason why my chip isn't overclocking at all. It didn't even wanna hit 400Mhz on the bus :shock:


My current board also only have 4pin vs 8pin like anyother boards got, ther then the 24pin on board power, that could also be one of the things i am missing

Stand up Daawg ..................... :thumbsup:

You're a good man Jimbo. +1 to you.:thumbsup:

very much so!

Quick update to fill y'all in.

Here is my SLAWE @ 3.0GHz 400 x 7.5 @ 1.60/1.70v

So far it seems very stable (or most stable then before.)
I don't ever see the 8800 going over 44C on any load, and CPU jumps between mid/high 50s to low 70s for 1.60v

Still working on the ram because the FSB and the ram are linked with 400mhz so i can pick between 960 and 1260 and i KNOW i can't get it to boot at 1260 so just matter of how low i can get the timing (5-4-4-15 @ 2.20v is a no go)

just a real quick update....
i am an idiot....
i was wondering the chip and the vga runs so damn hot can't find anything wrong with in the rig, the water heats up so much the rads are getting hot too....
then i tried to install some lights in the rig and touched the fans, those suckers wasn't even spinning at all!!

and now..
only now, my rig is in the happy temp on the vga @ 37~39 and some how the cpu runs really hot and needs alot of voltage still trying to get that taking care of

Question.
How bad is it to have stuff growing in your loop?
does it just make it look nasty or does it actually effect anything?

I really think my loop is getting worst even tho i leave it running about 18hrs a day

not good dude, depending on the block, injection blocks be affected more so

you will need to ake it down and clean it out

refill w/distilled water and one can of this

Thank you Witchy, got a huge week coming up i'll take the rig a part after ;)

Stop using toilet water. Get yourself some distilled water from the supermarket. My rig has been running forever without any growth what-so-ever.

I did get distilled water from Koreger!!!

Wow can't even spell the name of your local supermarket. Kroger. Did you buy the right stuff? IE distilled water is not Deionized water.
