8800 Ultra SLI Koolance and swiftech

[Tadjiknorg]

I want to buy gaming PC but do not know where. Can you tell me how?

[wwjoeyd]

nice maroon5 songs lol

[GunskiMod]

2 = *thumbs up*

XD

[SPLITZRZR]

the 220 rad cools all that with pretty good temps

[dboib19]

hey what case do you have ?

[toatq]

cable managment problems much?

[nldubish]

huh why do u got 2 SLI briges? u need just 1 right?

[Emexrulsier]

Yes you only need the one SLI bridge.

My advice as you only have one pump/rad would have been to split the loop. With you setup you are going to be passing the hotter liquid fromm the GPUs over ther CPU but if you split it before the GPU and said cooler water to the CPU and GPU at the same time (and rejoin the loop before going back to the rad)

[Jclz95]

i want a xfx mobo

[itar4]

Nice rig. How much did you pay for the ultra?

[MaxReckless99]

bought them when they first came out.about 699$

[aleckermit]

Man whats with showing this awesome PC without benchmarks ;p

Post some Crysis vids.

I have the same case also :)

[FabianVornkahl]

So u only use a dual radiator ??? thats sweet

[maxshared]

hmm.. your computer is a bit untidy.... but good components

[MaxReckless99]

this video just to show koolance and swiftech waterblocks working together doing a great job...

[wander666]

what is u cpu temp??

[MaxReckless99]

31 idle 47 max load

[FrodeFlodhest]

Is the MCR 220 QP back there the only radiator you are cooling your hardware with? =)

Best regards =)

[MaxReckless99]

yes. its working just fine.

[dearinviolet]

cool computer....

[MaxReckless99]

thanks

[wander666]

this thermaltake tube and coolant???

[MaxReckless99]

yes

[4nt1pr0]

is that water pretty warm? because same water goes around cpu and gpu... (sorry my bad english, i'm from finland)

[MaxReckless99]

not really, its keeps my GPU and CPU ice cold. its really a good kit.. epically with the big raidtor

[NeOXG64]

were did u get the SLi bridges from, i tryed staticice but yer... i got 1x XFX 8800GTX and wont to go SLi n only have 1 bridge, is there much performace increase this the 2?

[kmyerslp]

2 is just for show, it doesn't increase performance.

[rodog69]

No it increases the data transferred between them

[MaxReckless99]

from newegg

[MaxReckless99]

you can get it from newegg. most people thing there is no performace increse, but i know with the newest nvidia driver youll see it. i did using 3dmark 06 to test

[NeOXG64]

cheers, :P

[bornfromdogfat270]

seems similiar to maxishines rig. yours definately looks nicer though.

[MaxReckless99]

thank you. ill try to post a new video of some upgrade i made using 3 way SLI ..3 8800 ultra

[dirtylarryuk]

what sort of temps do you get CPU and GPU when runnign crysis or cod4?

[brydon10]

How do you have that set up? Do you have it like this: rad - cpu - pump - gpu 1 - gpu 2 - rad?

I'm thinking of watercooling and just wondering if it makes a difference how u set the loop up, I know cpu first then gpu, but I don't know if it really matters where the pump is placed. Thanks

[MaxReckless99]

in my case im overcloking the GPU more than the CPU so i made sure the hot liquid go to the radiator before it go to the GPU to cool it of then it go to the CPU. but if your overcloking both high, you need to make sure each cycle go through the radiator before it hit the other hardware

[brydon10]

Ok cool, thanks.

[sounirvalice1]

Hi ive jsut installed my first waterkit swiftec one jsut wondering its all ok but occasionaly it makes odd noises of water like the sound on a radiator (ps theres no airbubles in the tubes / block) is this normal

[MaxReckless99]

make sure you fell the tank to almost full, its normal to make nosies at first but its should fade after 10 min or less of running. also no air bubbles that always a good thing, you don't want to air in your liquid. its seems everything runing just fine in your case. just make sure you fell your tank to almost full. (HINT: best way to fell your tank while its on running. make sure you fell it away from your computer hardware. at your own risk. good luck. any qustion let me know

[sounirvalice1]

ty man =D

[csNoxeN1337]

what you get on 3dmark06. im just wondering. im going test out my 2 HIS Radeon 2900XT 1GB each card. :D

[MaxReckless99]

using windows XP 19877 using q6600 quad overclocked to 3.60 stock 2.4

[MaxReckless99]

now im getting 22433 after overclocking the memory little more and the GPU

[crpezold]

wtf, how did you get your q6600 to 3.60, mine only goes to around 3. Got basically the same swiftech system so heat should not be a prob but do you think my striker extreme is keeping me back?:(

[phudao41]

the ram cooler look lik a speaker lol

[dApimpmx23]

4 video cards?

[MaxReckless99]

no just two 8800 ultra

[csNoxeN1337]

lol 4

[ChriscoHamper7689]

ahhh i cant take it no more WATS THE NAME OF THE FIRST SONG lol, been looking every where for it. sweet computer mate looks great just wondering wat temps u get from it?

i got a amd 5200 am2 + 2 7900gtx in sli and there air cooled and there oc and sitting on cpu 35 - 42 and gpu 45 - 51

[MaxReckless99]

maroon 5 goodbye goodbye, after overcloking im getting 59-60 on max load an 37 idle. keep in mind my CPU and GPU overcloked the max out of them

[ChriscoHamper7689]

are u sure its goodbye goodbye i searched it found sweetest goodbye but its not the same

[ChriscoHamper7689]

i found it its called nothing last forever by maroon 5

[SoloBuggMaster]

Max, Hey nice rig. I think 60C is the max for the intel CPUs. I would reccomend getting a better radiator....or get a 120rad and mount it in the loop between the CPU and the 2 GPUs

[golem72002]

I just don't like how is go's to cpu to gpu to gpu thats lot a heat to pick up there.

[FragtheSnack]

damn, you have to make some crysis vid's :D

[MaxReckless99]

i will, ill post it tom

[FragtheSnack]

thanks

[csNoxeN1337]

nice setup dude.

[MaxReckless99]

thanks

[Makedonce93]

haha same screen,keyboard and speakers lol NICE haha

[Hartman79]

Hi MaxReckless99, congratulations! Your PC is really amazing! I'm changing my hardware, and my idea is to build a PC like your! Did you use another radiator besides the one on the rear panel of your case? If yes, what kind of radiator it is? Did you use a temperature control system in order to monitor the temperature of your coolant? Many thanks for your help! Best wishes!

[MaxReckless99]

thank you Hartman for the nice complement.the radiator im using Swiftech H20-220 kit and using it radiator, working like a dream. use the"Swiftech MCR320 radiator"to ensure that the CPU and Both graphic card stay cool, especially if your OC them, which im doing, and leave the fans on full speed at all the time.

[MaxReckless99]

THANKS HARTMAN, NO I DIDNT USE ANY OTHER radiator, TO MONITOR THE temperature I USE NVIDIA NTONES AND ATITOOL. WORKS PRETTY WELL WHEN USING NVIDIA GRAPHIC CARD AND NVIDIA mb. IF YOU NEED ANY OTHER QUESTIONS LET ME KNOW. AND TRY POST YOUR RIG WHEN ITS DONE.

[Hartman79]

Thanks for your suggestions, MaxReckless. They have been very appreciated. In these days I'm arranging my new system. I already bought 2 MSI nVidia 8800 GTX OC card via internet but they didn't arrive to me yet. I think to setup my PC with air cooling system before, but I'm planning to buy all the necessary stuff to pass to the water cooling system within next month. Then, I'll post my configuration videos here! :D

Bye!

[drtydzn12]

Why two SLi bridges? It doesn't improve performance or anything.

[MaxReckless99]

ill tell you why, 8800 GTX and ultra graphic card uses preconfigured sli technology that allows it to run on a single graphic card, that why its that powerful, well anyway using two sli bridges make you take the full benefits of the graphic cards, anyway try running 3dmark with one and run it again with two bridges and see the different, its not going to be that much but it will increase the performance by at least 1-2 %. give it a try and you judge.

[drtydzn12]

3D06 is really random sometimes. You won't always get the same score. Sometimes I get 9200, sometimes I get 8900. And if you check evga forums and slizone forums, they say that it doesn't improve performance.

[MaxReckless99]

your right about 3dmark06 its random sometimes, but using two SLI wont hurt.

[drtydzn12]

That's true. But as far as I konw, the reason they included to SLi "fingers" is two support a tri SLi setup.

[xoxx1234]

gorgeous, i think im in love

[shrinathmukund1991]

kooooool

[PhillyKid07]

nice system!
