Well it looks like I had a good mount, but remounted after a quarter turn. Cable arrived today, DHL official blows .... turns out they got it and mailed it via USPS

So it went from UPS then to DHL then to the USPS ..... thinking I should send it to fedX so everyone gets to handel it .............. WTF ...

Just plugged it in and it seems to be working, Updating firmware in hope to fire up Chiller A. This should in therory double my capacity. I have read this is a total PITA to get to take, but it seems to be but not finished yet ....... one dot at a time, pain and suffering. If it and when it does take I will be able to move on to testing again.... fingers crossed

Thing is condensing like crazy, first I have seen this, Hope this is a good sign

Edit:

Firmware updated ok

Still do not know if both chillers are working as the chiller A light is still off while B stays lit ???? Anybody know what the skinny is

5Ghz did not prove to be possible within reasonable voltage for the cooling solution

Here are a couple of screen shots that show this unit has limited capacity



Things start to heat up a bit at 1.384 core and 4.789 GHz
At these setting the condisation problem has been elimiated



This is where if the unit is utilizing both chillers A & B it gets a bit alarming and may be 5 Ghz is beyond its capabilities. at just a 100 mhz increase and a .024 core increase I get a rise in max temp by 6C.... Notice the the Coolit Graph is gone as framework took a dump during the run but did not crash the system. Have to say I am a bit disapointed with the results thus far. I am hopefull that I am doing something wrong and the second chiller is not on or adding a res better pump and a rad will help solidify the swings on this as they are wicked, note above post at 4.988 idol temps. I think increasing water and volume will hurt the idol temps but infact help stablize and lower loads temps, but we will see soon enough. Time for dinner

Something is amiss buddy...you know darn well if I could run the 980X at over 5GHz with the Boreas it is more than possible with your hardware. Let me see if I can dig up some screenshots.

114.9c reading is just wacky...you should never see anything remotely close to that. Change your settings:

Coolant Target Temp - 0

Max Chiller power - 100

Min Chiller power - 100

Max allowed - 0

Min allowed - 0

Can't seem to locate all my screenshots. You remember that Coolit contest I won with the 980X in the SFF case running at 5GHz ? All you guys popped in and voted for me lol. I know I ran a bunch of benches at 5GHz on that crappy Micro board and never had a problem with temps. Surely your current chip is more capable than the 980X. I'll keep searching for screens...also, close out that crap Coolit graph and rely on RealTemp. Your temps look great from what I have seen.









The same funky chip I won the SPI contest with lol!

Yea somthing seems wrong, does both your A & B chiller lights on, or just one like mine? I have no way of knowing ? Would like to get this sorted before i start introducing other components so I can get a true comparison. M-tech software is a bit flaky on Win 7 ....... for these clocks High 60's seem kinda ordinary, does anyone know where ambient water is at these clocks and voltages ? it been so long kinda out of touch with what to expect ???
