Experimental radiator \build log!!!

[toolmaker_03]

well here are the radiators, my problem is the configuration of them, simply too many possibilities, so if you could find the time to give your opinions, I would really appreciate it.
I also need advice on a type of shroud for the radiators, the purpose is to inshore good air flow through the radiator.
and lastly how to attach the fans to the radiators?



all advice is welcome and thank you

 

[toolmaker_03]

ok so what is it that you guys want to see first?

is there a particular programe that i need to load on the system?

benchmarks?

clocks and timings?

what is it you would like to know?

i jest want to play games :lol:

 

[Motopsychojdn]

Can it play Crysis???
Sorry, kneejerk reaction hehe,
3DMark score could be a good one, fps rating on certain games maybe, I'd just be happy it ran well and made me smile at performance,
Even almost a year after I built this one Mass effect two made me go 'WoW!, I built a niiice rig hehe'
play games man, be happy, worry about 'scores' later

[Lutfij]

hey, a lil off topic but have you played the extended cut DLC? I'm downloading it as I'm typing it...

 

[Motopsychojdn]

Playing the free ones, flamewalker etc, but not paid for the liara/shadowbroker one, payday I'm a grabbing ME3 and continuing the saga

[Lutfij]

aw...then I'll just try it out myself then in an hours time.

 

[4Ryan6]

With 2 480s he should be able to maxx out Crysis and play it.

 

[Lutfij]

I've pre-ordered Medal Of Honor Warfighter Limited Edition - wonder how much eye candy i can see with my specs

 

[toolmaker_03]

well so far the 3dmark06 score is a 23490 but that is only with one video card it will not configure as SLI 2 cards until i get the cable in a couple of weeks.

** edit at 4.5GHz new clock 25670 **

 

[toolmaker_03]

i have never played crysis and is there a crysis2?

should i get this game is it a good one for test?

i was looking at Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning or masseffect3 as a new game for this build

 

[toolmaker_03]

well i have the system up and running now and i can play devilmaycry 4 at max settings at 2048X1535 now with no problems

the witcher 2 maxed out 2048X1535 no problems this is cool, I wonder what else i can play on this thing :lol:

what knid of score should i be getting with this setup anyway so that i know if there is somthing wrong i can work on it to fix the problem?

3Dmark06 is the benchmark i am useing right now i will upgrade it later when i load win 7 on the system win xp on now as i am more familer with this OS and how it operates.

i will work the kinks out here and format with hardware clocks in place if it is truly stable it will take.

 

[toolmaker_03]

ok so i am now playing with the processor and man is this thing easy to clock. 20.5X 4.1GHz no problems not even hot it is like it was built to run at this speed so how much futher can you really take this thing 21 22 what is the max you are seeing on the 1100TBE stable and not frying?

 

[wolfram23]

You're on XP? Please tell me it's at least a 64bit version ><

Get Win 7 up and running ASAP! You're missing out on the DX11 goodies!

 

[toolmaker_03]

i know but i am working on a stable overclock for the system that will stay or remain that way for good, any suggestions?

wow this thing is so easy to overclock i see that the mem is easy to clock and the video card i can go ganged or ungainged this is fun

what is a good proformance clock for this system the mem goes all the way to 1320 but that might be to high or maybe 1200 is stable that is not bad clock is it?

the processor is stable to 4.3 but i might fry it there what do you think?

 

[amuffin]

For the 480, don't touch the memory clocks.

Nuke the core!!!

 

[toolmaker_03]

thanks amuffin

the 480's seem to run best on this system at 850MHz core clock and at 4118 for the memory is that what you mean?

by the way just how far do you think the video core can go?

 

[umliso25]

I've seen people hit 1000MHz on a 480 with no issues what so ever

 

[toolmaker_03]

that's fast !!

so is that the top for a good stable clock?

 

[toolmaker_03]

ok so is a voltage of 1.6V on the processor core to high for the processor got it to run at 265 on the core 4.5GHz total, the memory at 1325 runs real fast but is this too fast for the system to handle without burning out real fast? temps are cool on the componits 110 at idol for the processor and video (the video is clocked to) and 100 for the rest of the system what do you guys think?

 

[toolmaker_03]

ok so at 4.5 1333 the system is a little unstable but at 4.1 1165 the system is stable and i can play games so that is good enough for me

 

[toolmaker_03]

well it will not do me any good any thing above 854MHz and i will have to clock the processor futher

http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=2448079

at 4.5 i can clock the video to 1000 and it runs but it is not stable just fast.

I was going to suggest asking rekon-uk but I see he has already discovered your need, IMO he is your best information regarding overclocking the 480GTX, he has done more on air cooling than many on water have!

Good overclocking luck to you toolmaker_03! Ry

 

[toolmaker_03]

thank you recon
by the way is that the sound track from the game?
sounds more like a club mix
the HUD that showes the temps and FPS what one is that?

 

[toolmaker_03]

ok so i have watched the video's several times and i like it it looks nice and it showes me what to expect from mine as well i have come to the conclution that you are really good at that game.

 

[rubix_1011]

I haven't played BF3 in almost a month...just haven't had time and haven't picked up the newer expansions. I really wish BF3 was a Steam game and not on Origin.

 

[amuffin]

Killing Floor and Mw3 is all I need
