Title: Overclock
Post by: Dave790 on September 28, 2015, 05:53:06 PM
GPU's are sitting at 1550Mhz, SLI is working fine in OA  :) i54690K is currently sitting at 4.2Ghz,Benchmarked and Burnt in. It's stable and i will leave it there for a week or two, i have another 2 fans coming for my H80i (Temp's sit at 63 degrees at 100%) ((Corsair SP120 PWM)) to complement my 4 AF120's (2 y splitters in the post now).

Forgot to mention..... Stuck a Samsung 850 EVO in as well, runs sweet as a nut 1TB WD Black is now mass storage (Santa is bringing me a 960Gb SSD for Chrimbo). I'm getting 100 FPS at NEAF  :D

It's worth it though, I love having a decent machine... although, having said that: you've certainly taken it to a whole new level, xDD

Is it noisy ?

The noisiest parts in it at the moment are the stock fans for the H80i, the replacements are nice and quiet and push through more air at a lower RPM (so quieter). I have a few profiles in MSI Afterburner so i can change in one click and adjust if needed, throwing 2 fans over the GTX970's dropped the top temp in Valley Benchmark by 18 degrees!!!!

I tried the Samsung Migration software for the 850 Evo, but it was shite and didn't work. I found a good freeware program and it worked as sweet as a nut  :) Runs a lot quicker now  ;)

haha, that is awesome :)
18 degree differences is sweet too :D

New fans fitted, bench tested and is now totally silent. Max CPU Temp on Valley was 42 degrees with a 4.2 Ghz Overclock, fans only got up to 600RPM and are controlled by the Corsair software. I am well chuffed  :)

New PWM fans fitted on Monday for the H80i, 2 Akasa Piranha's. Max RPM 1900, and about 80Cfm (3mm H2O). Top Exhaust fan replaced with a 140mm Akasa Viper PWM 110Cfm (3.1mm H2O), all fans very quiet.
 Next stop....... Thermal paste, got a tube of Grizzly Kryonaught on the way and should drop CPU Temps by another 6 degrees  8)

Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut was good, Cool laboratory Liquid Pro is better. Another 2 degrees shaved off the temps, a pain to apply. Remove H80i, clean water block, remove chip, clean chip, scour the top with pad, clean again, place a drop of liquid on the chip, spend 15 mins spreading it out with a cotton bud, bung it all back in, Prime 95 torture test it and smile as the faffing about was all worth it.
 Latest problem 12v rail sitting at 11.08v and dips to 10.75v which kicks you out the game to desktop, i have a corsair CW750M so i've ordered an RM1000i to replace it. Dual rails and all my modular cables don't need to be replaced, just the motherboard power connectors are all i have to remove. I'll give the 970's their own 12v rail so as to keep the voltages stable, sata connectors will go with the 24 pin motherboard connector and the 12v CPU plug will go with the 970's.

RM1000i has been dropped into the rig, i changed all cables apart from the sata cables as the new ones were braided. Cranked it back to 4.2 Ghz OC and turned up the 970's to their usual overclock, benchmarked and running sweet as a nut  8)

January was a busy month for my Rig... Transplanted into a Fractal design Define S case (3 Akasa Static Pressure fans in and H80i with 2 Akasa fans in push pull as exhaust) Temps lower and 4 less fans used, Crucial 480 Gig SSD and a 5 way SATA powered fan splitter (tidy wiring as it's behind the Motherboard).
 I have just dropped in an i7 4790K which added another 10 FPS on ARMA3 as it uses Hyperthreading, got it sitting at 4 GHz (stock) to bed it in and used Thermal Grizzly Kryonaught as the TIM. Temps are 25 to 27 on idle and 61 after running Prime 95 on Extreme settings, WELL CHUFFED  8)

Rig is going well, i7 is sitting at 4.5 Ghz and 970's are at 1.5Ghz stable. Firestrike scores 10709 at Extreme and 17806 at standard, with summer round the corner i've ordered a Predator 360 and a prefilled full cover waterblock for one 970 (other one is out of stock till end of April as one is a rev 1.1 and the other is rev 1.3).

I have to laugh   :D Predator 360 is coming from Overclockers and was sent on Friday by DPD, the GPU water block was sent by EK from Slovenia this morning by DHL and will both arrive tomorrow. Which will arrive first OCUK or EK?............. 'FIGHT'!!!!!!!!
Title: Re: Overclock
Post by: Dave790 on March 30, 2016, 01:33:17 PM
And the winner is............DHL!!! From pickup to drop off 22hrs and 30 mins!!!! Started in Slovenia, next Austria, then Belgium, then East Midlands Airport, then Belfast and finally to my door in under 24hrs!!!!! DPD say they will deliver tomorrow now, that's 6 DAYS!!! to get here from England!!!!!!!!

That doesn't make sense, just how the fk !!

Post by: Dave790 on March 30, 2016, 03:04:28 PM
Predator was meant to arrive today but DPD are the WORST people to deliver to NI, we are treated like second class Britons over here. I will get it tomorrow at about 10ish (it's when they get to my area), but on the plus side the waterblock looks freaking AWESOME!!! (i already have the backplate)  8) 8) 8)

After 3hrs of open case surgery the Predator 360 and the water block are fitted, temps of the GPU are over 10 degrees lower than before, CPU is sitting at 50 odd degrees under 100%. Fans are only at 15% and totally silent by the way  :)

Hahah, that's a damn tidy upgrade :)
I am so gonna email the other half and tell her to what you've been up to :D

No, they are still there. Did Valley benchmark earlier and GPU 1 has dropped by 20 degrees but CPU went up by 2 degrees, i was expecting a few degrees increase in temps for the loop but 2 degrees is spot on  :)
