needs to be addressed immediately.
like that GPU sag you keep lying to yourself about.
0.2 cent worth of zipties and your 'sagging' problem is solved.
>>54876392
My HD6850 with Accelero S1+2xNF-P12 would sag like motherfucker, but with the help of zipties, it hasnt formed to banana after five years.
So why look for more sopfisticated solutions?

Holy shit, it didn't even look that bad till I took off the plastic covering the rads. My temps and fan speed were still great though.
Hope my water block gets here soon. Fucking EK with their slow as fuck shipping

here what the guts look like
What up /g/utters
Might replace my 2 HD7870s with a RX480 (or 2).
WiFi Card died :)
>>54877546
What CPU is that build rocking?
![IMG_1332[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/FUXis7b.jpg "IMG_1332[1].jpg")
6300 on ebay, 4670 + mobo lined up to buy. Sticking with ATX for now, cause I might try and pick up a super cheap 380 when polaris/rx 480 comes out
Finally made a new pic
No upgrades anytime soon here. Unless something dies. Considering a USB 3.1 pcie card.
>>54878169
Your PC is running quite hot.
>>54877369
You're cooling the GPU first?
Never cool the GPU first...
Holy shit

>Considering a USB 3.1 pcie card.
My motherboard has USB 3.1, but doesn't have USB 3.1 Type C only Type A. So I might get one just to add a Type C port.
>>54878264
Took my pic whilst playing a game.
>>54878304
Oh ok, not bad then :) Taught that those were idle temps

Nice card.
>>54878274
It doesn't matter. If you follow the loop, the water is hitting both rads before going back to the card. Temps on the cpu might be a bit higher than if he ran the loop different, but no more than a few C. And with a decent loop, your parts are running way lower temps than air could ever reach anyway. So long as the loop has enough radiator to dump heat, loop order isn't end all be all.
>>54878372
>If you dusted it would make a nice difference.
Should get some canned air soon
>>54878372
>nice card
Thanks. Was on the fence about selling it for a gtx 1080 but decided fuck it, I'll just keep it. I can get just shy of 1600mhz on boost with only +50mv and increased power target.
>>54878432
A loop where the GPU gets cooled first can actually heat a CPU up higher then air cooling, specially if you do monster overclock, but that's the point of it in the first place.

How is the fury treating you? I had that exact model and was plagued by random black screens and artifacts while idle at the desktop.
>>54878372
hey senpai, what case is that?
>>54879128
It has been flawless actually. Ive had it since like august 2015 i think. No crashes etc.
Just one thing. The eco mode is aids and the card downclocks itself in older titles but you can disable that in the standard gui.
Poor fag reporting in

Loop order has little to no impact on temps. Go with whatever will give you the shortest runs

I used to have that case, but only did a small CPU loop trough it.

Waiting for 1070/480 aftermarket cooler and bench! And a Monitor upgrade. Actually on 1080p60hz.
Havent decide between 1080p144hz or 1440p60hz

I've asked before, but do you mind sharing how you mounted your pump? Is it using existing holes or did you drill new ones?
>>54878535
No, it fucking can't This myth needs to die already, and for it to do that, uneducated, inexperienced retards like you need to stop spewing shit you don't know anything about for other retards to mindlessly parrot later.
In a loop, the liquid is flowing fast enough that it will not heat up significantly at any one block. The liquid would only rise in temperature after making multiple passes through the loop, but at that point it has also made just as many passes through the radiator. Even taking a worst case scenario approach, going from reservoir to pump to 4-way housefire/cpu/motherboard and then to the radiator, if there is even a 5 degree difference in liquid temperature between the "coldest" and "hottest" parts of your loop, you have a serious problem with your flow rate.
>>54879518
why is you water cooling upside down tubes should run to the bottom of the radiator to avoid air intake to the pump no??

Still doing the leak test stage theoretically, though its been a while since I turned it on initially so it ought to be plenty fine by now.
This isn't the liquid I'm using either, this is a cleaning solution. Trouble is I've got a PWM pump and the 5% power to it (when the system isn't complete, it can only pull 5%) isn't quite enough to push the whole loop. Close, but not quite.
As for the pump placement, I was under the impression that there was meant to be another piece included to hold it up nicely. Obviously not. Will be fixing that ASAP.
Will take another picture once I've got the system running properly.
Tell you what though, almost shat myself in fear and horror when the Fury X didn't turn on initially.
So fucking scary, thinking I'd fucked the £520 I spent last year in one mistake.

Go 2560x1440~144hz
Honestly, best of both worlds with higher res and higher potential framerate. That way in some games you'll get better res and still go over 60fps, in others you'll have a better res and still have the potential to go over 60.
Also makes the most sense for the future, because when you upgrade the GPU to something even better, you'll then have that extra room on the monitor to utilise.
>>54885673
what is that bottom fan supposed to be doing?
also whats the point of memecooling if you box is still slam full of fucking fans?
>>54886485
>Go 2560x1440~144hz
What monitor does that? I'm interested in getting one.
>>54886520
Well personally I've got an Acer XG270HU (Freesync).
My monitor is no longer in production as far as I'm aware, though there should definitely be some options available. They're almost exclusively G- or Freesync though. Still, I'd recommend getting the Freesync variety because DP1.4 is supposed to be bringing in the adaptive sync (another name for Freesync) as a base standard.
I don't know if Nvidia will block it via software or something, but G-sync monitors cost normally something like £100/$100 extra.
>>54886472
You can nigger-rig a PWM pump or fan to run at 100% if you don't mind doing a little wiring. I believe you just have to connect PWM to a ground lead to get it to run, but you may want to double check that before you go ahead with it.
>>54886729
I've got the jumper kit, if that's what you mean. It makes fans run at 100% but because the pump uses half of a fan controller and have molex, I don't think it'd do much - unless I don't quite grasp what you're getting at and I'm thinking of something else.
Either way, should be fine now. Thank you for the advice though.
What I need to do now is sort out that bloody res to be in a better location (thinking I'll use zip ties to hold it up to the back) and to flush the cleaning gear out of it and put in the fresh, proper coolant mix.
>>54886768
No, jumping the PSU is different. What you want to do is use some wire and maybe cannibalize an old molex plug from something. You need to connect the PWM connector from the fan header to a ground pin on a molex connector, in addition to the molex connector already being used to provide power to the pump. It's not as simple as buying a part and plugging it in, but it's hardly complicated wiring either. The PWM lead is the green one, by the way.
