Antec Build 10 Temps

[HansensUniverse]

thats a nice system you got there, you sould have been making the tube from the res a little shorter but anyway, well done anyone who have water cooling sould get some credits :)

[oscar7610]

i7 cpu? and when u say load temp like 54

when u game its gonna reach 54 ?

[Eclipezz]

you mounted the swiftech waterblock wrong i know it sounds weird since you can read the text but the text should acculy be parrel to the cpu locking pin you should try change it it dropped my temps a few degress

[LunarPills]

that's some long arse tubing or should i say noobing

[G4LBlackHawk]

guess what,it works great fucktard

[bigdpro21]

love your computer dude btw, i just built my first computer also and could u tell me what that fan controller is... i wanna get one... and does it tell u the internal temps, like the cpu etc....

[AlphaGodDamn4]

Did I see a triple radiator there? That's awesome. I agree that 38C is a still a little high for your setup, even under load. I'm running a dual radiator swiftech kit, but on a C2Q q9450, 1.35v. (I've also got the MCW30 chipset connected, but I'm told that wouldn't affect the circuit temp more than a degree).Anyway, with that setup I only reach peak temps of around 32 under prime95 load. I found it helpful to use much less thermal paste than the manual recommended when remounting the blocks.

[xboxlive6]

230 bog boi

[Neomis01]

I have never done this and want to, i plan on getting this same cooling kit, How do you mount the radiator on the back? I was going to get the Haf 932 also, if I buy this Asetek kit and the HAf 932 is that All i need to mount it like you did?

Thanks

[MrLouisMarinello]

i7 aint hot at all , they are verry cool compiared to most cpu chips:S

[12GTA435]

I7 is hot because it Is Intel first set of Processors with a memory controller on the chip

[Raive360]

I was going to buy that case. I should of. its nice and big. with alot of fans. I might buy it soon.

[Raive360]

What Liquid cooling tank is that?

[Counterstrikejunky]

HAHAH your explaining what all the little things on the front are and your like "thats a little sticker" LMAO I think we all what a sticker is, nice setup 5/5

[colinstienke]

Ok i got an good guestion for all you guys.Why does he have his pump going to his rad first then his rad going to his cpu then its pumping all the hot water tho his hole system into his resvor back thro the pump. It will never cool down that way.

[G4LBlackHawk]

Trust me it works great if it didn't there would be no way I could keep my CPU at 4ghz all the time.

[MrNinja888]

what you re saying makes no sense it still has to go through the rad before it gets to the cpu that is how mine is set up hot water off cpu gets pulled through the pump into the rad then the cool water goes back in to the cpu

[rathy21]

water cooling setup res-pump-waterblock-rad-res-pu­mp-waterblock-rad-res thats how it should be flowing

[RyanADillon]

@colinstienke Lol of course it will cool down. From pump to rad is the best way, then when it goes into the waterblock it is at its coolest.

[dirtbiker8120077]

@colinstienke thats not a good question, so long as the water goes through the radiator before the cpu it will cool the cpu. as for the hot liquid in the case, its in an acrylic reservoir and PVC tubing which are both insulators, so its not going to be a problem.

@G4LBlackHawk: nice system man, i think you did well

[hallis1]

@colinstienke

the reason I could think of going from the pump through the rad is because the pump will generate heat itself which will be added to the coolant temp. Sending it from there to the rad gives it a chance to get rid of that residual pump heat before sending the coolant to the CPU block.

[LizzyAston]

isnt the loop supposed to go from your cpu straight to the rad?

[G4LBlackHawk]

u can do it that way or the way i have it... doesn't matter really.

[leezaal]

that case looks like it cost more than my entire desktop pc LOL..its beautiful

[valios11]

About how much did all this cost you?

[newbornabram]

did u ever get ur temps fixed yet?? if not. I was looking at it. Some of the tubes are too long, try to make it as short as possible. Scratch that stock compound, n get something like at least arctic silver 5. if u want, there's a new waterblock that beats ur GTZ. It's called Heatkiller 3.0 (1366 bracket included) pick the copper version, it cost around 89dlr..

But after all it's up to u..

Later..

[newbornabram]

see that tube from reservoir to cpu block is twisting (swirling). u should cut it shorter

[G4LBlackHawk]

I dont have the temp problem anymore.

the bios needed to be updated.

after the update my temps read 34no use and 53 on load. so really i dont have a temp problem, but thanks guys.

my cpu has been at 4ghz for a about 6 months now and i haven't seen on problem with my cpu

[christianz9713]

yout would get much better teps with an MCR320 rad.

[ItsjustagameNUB]

Thats a nice rig.

I also got a watercooled i7 920 setup, mine is running 4.1GHz on an Asus p6t Deluxe v2 with 3x2GB OCZ Platinum XTC Cas7 ram.

I was going to get the Antec 1200 but when I saw the next chassis from Corsair (obsidian 800d) I fell in love!

What are your temperatures like at idle and full load @ 4GHz? And which radiator are you using?

Cheers

[G4LBlackHawk]

32c no load and 52 tops on FULL load.

Since the only way I can get my CPU at 100% is by prime95 and no other way the temps are superb.

[ItsjustagameNUB]

Im seriously having my misbelives on that.

Im using a triple rad with 3x Noctua p12's and im hitting 70c in load at 4,1GHz.

If your sensors really tell you that your i7 920 is 52c full load (prime95 8 thread torture test), I think your sensors are malfunctioning.

And again, which radiator are you using?

[chrisdude1001]

how much did it cost to build that?

[G4LBlackHawk]

$2,800ish

[RSSsailing]

how did you install the nzxt sentry lx fan controller in the antec 1200? doesnt the lx only support 3 pin fan connectors, and the antec 1200 only has 4 pin molex?

[G4LBlackHawk]

I replaced every stock fan just not the top fan.

[RSSsailing]

so theres no way to use the sentry lx with the stock antec 1200 fans?

[G4LBlackHawk]

u can get converters, 4 pin to 3 pins but i wont see your RPMs on the display.

[Nefluw]

which fan controller is that? :O

[nathanlovespie]

dont complain i get 40c idle and 68c full load but still got stock cooler for my i7 hopefully next week ill get my zalman 9900 :) nice build

[360flipjames]

nice comp its probly running in a windows in dx10 due to the 8800gtx i had that problem with the 8800 with dx10 i fixd it with driver updates hope that helpd you owt

[G4LBlackHawk]

im using a Acer H213H right now.

when i was building the rig i had some type of dell 19 inch screen that came with my old pc i got from dell -_-

[skateer25]

wht is the monitor you are using

[IRud3Bwoy]

nice temps but idle temps are worthless,load temps is what you should care about

[kewie727]

use ALT ENTER to enter full window mode

[G4LBlackHawk]

Ya I know, I said "y it starts in window mode"

Thanks anyway mate.

[t3hsniper]

Your core i7 is in the 20's C?...in a class of mine we got to build a liquid cooled core i7 computer with a swiftech something(2 120mm fans) maybe the same one you have and the asus p6t deluxe(v1)'s software says its like 41C

[sillentkller9]

NIce Build Amazing frames especially for an 8800gts

[G4LBlackHawk]

8600gts ^^

[Wahoo4186]

I dont think that you have enough fans....

[G4LBlackHawk]

;)

i got my temp problems fixed just to let people know.

[lizardmannnn]

try artic silver 5 that seems to be the most popular thermal paste

[G4LBlackHawk]

Ok people my EVGA 295 will be here tomorrow!!

[weetsie]

why would you want to over clock an i7 -_-

[G4LBlackHawk]

y wouldn't u want to oc a i7?

i oced my i7 to 4ghz

[weetsie]

because

1, games don't need it

2, you wont see any visible performance increase

3, it voids your warranty

[G4LBlackHawk]

1 lol

2 lol

3 ok well from what i heard the i7 warranty can be broken by only u doing and phx damn to it like... banding the pins.

the bigger your clock is the cooler u are ;)

if u every used 3DMark ocing is the only way for u to get a nice store. like 39000..

[weetsie]

so your 3d mark score is nearly 4 times what mine is, but that dont help you in cod4 :\

[Drakonx]

Lol overclocking doesnt void your warranty how can they tell you've been overclocking. Fact is they make CPUS to be overclocked otherwise you wouldnt see the options to do it. Secondly Cod 4? just becuase you run a game that isnt graphically demanding which it isnt.. compared it to a game like crysis/DoWII/FEAR2. on standard clocked CPU to an overclocked CPU you'll see a big increase in performance. Dont talk about stuff you dont know about weetsie.

[G4LBlackHawk]

TY man

[FadedFire]

You do see performances increases with overclocking the CPU.

Why do you think the majority of hardcore gamers overclock their CPU's to as far as they can get them within safe margins?

Check over at the slizone forums and you'll see what I mean.

Also if you overclock your CPU you reduce the risk of bottlenecking your graphics cards.

These i7's are overclocking monsters it has to be said.

For overclocking I like the new AMD phenom II's aswell.

This rig is looking fantastic blackhawk.

[G4LBlackHawk]

Thanks Allot man

[bloohook]

You're a special guy weetsie... If he were to have bought all this stuff ant NOT overclocked it. He would've wasted is money.

[weetsie]

no ure special

[whonoseguy]

dude, you have such a good system and a crappy monitor? There isnt going to be need for a 295 when your going to be using a monitor like that.

[G4LBlackHawk]

Orly?

maybe im planing of getting a new one after i get my 295 and i get a new job?

[taltigolt]

don't mind him everyone dont have money every second i will get the same system and im 15 yearts old made the money myself 1600 dollars lol

and im on a 21 inch super monitor who wants flat when u can get super performance on a monitor don't mind him youre monitor is fine

[dGabRieLm07]

update u'r graphics card drivers

[G4LBlackHawk]

?

my drivers are up to date.....

[08SteelCity21]

hey what motherboard you using and how did you get the temp reader in the front?

[G4LBlackHawk]

watch the other videos ;)

[KarimAustin316]

what kind of water cooling is that (brand)

[G4LBlackHawk]

Swiftec H20

[G4LBlackHawk]

well i know it was out for some time now, but i don't have the cash. i have to wait till my tax refund money comes in, witch is going to be around next week. im planing of making a installation video for that think.

the place i worked at went out of business 3 days before Christmas so ive been living on Christmas money and borrowing since then.

[junkyardmaestro]

Very sexy rig!

What coolant is that?

And are the cold cathodes UV?

[G4LBlackHawk]

2 blue and one uv the uv is 15 inch and the 2 blues are 13... if im not wrong.

[spitzoid]

How did you mount the res at the top of the case?

[ssssjjj]

nice setup

what fan controler is that

[underfrost89]

dude is nzxt sentry LX

[94prelude89]

nice setup cant wait to see what it looks like with the 295. 5/5

[RickArter]

Try to remount the block sometimes it take several times b4 you get it on right. Try diff amount of paste could help.

[RickArter]

Looks great nice parts 5/5

[Fightbird2013]

Cool you have Xfire :D

[G4LBlackHawk]

ya my xfire is biggygamer

[Yonnie6996]

hit alt+Enter to get to FULL screen from windowed mode..

[G4LBlackHawk]

thanks ill try that

[G4LBlackHawk]

yes it worked

[Yonnie6996]

kk cool

[typingpong]

is the tubing goin straight to the cpu block from the pump then to the radiator then back to the resevoir then pump ? if it isnt that may be why the temps are high because you not going to the cpu first your losing your pressure and the radiator not disapating the heat because it doesant come right after cpu block.

I hope this makes sense

[n1b1kn1b1k]

Idle temps dont mean shit but still your load temps are abit high water cooling isint a mircle working remember lol ive beaten ppl on air.

[treocin]

Arctic Cooling 2 is great paste read on tom's hardware

[TheOneYSR]

Temperture for water cooling and air cooling will only be as cool as room temp, and maybe you should try some better thermal paste

[psx411]

I think the purpose of the water cooling is better cooling for load temps and overclock temps, not neccessarily idle temps. I have the exact same case as you expect i have patriot ram, evga 8800 gts sc, core i7 940 and thermal right ultra 120 extreme heat sink with 1000 rpm (38 CFM) fan and my temps are the same as yours. I bet my load temps are alot higher than yours though

[onoff314]

Your right idles on watercooling can sometimes be much higher then on air but its load where it counts.
