Audiophyle Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 I finally finished my first "real" WC setup, and I think it came out pretty great so I thought Id share. Plumbed Up & running Only surprise so far was the temps in Rivatuner for the GPU, which had CPU 1 at 3200*F and CPU 2 at a more reasonable 930*F. lol Catalyst shows a more believable 127*F & 120*F temps on the GPU, but I cannot figure out why RT is not working when its usually great. Temps on the CPU are pretty much the same compared to the CoolIT I had, but the GPU temps are already 25~30* cooler which is what I was really after, and of course getting rid of that stupid loud fan on the stock 4870x2 cooler.

ir_cow Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 whats your case? kinda looks like a Coolmaster, did you cut the top off so you can have the 360 Rad up top? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audiophyle Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 The case is a cheap Sunbeam Evo, it looks a lot like one of the Coolermasters but is smaller and the USB/audio plugs are on the side vs the top. It's def a cheap case, but looks great & works just fine. I chopped a huge hole in the top for the 360mm rad, didn't even think twice considering how cheap the case is. Lol Took me a while to get all the parts I needed due to a pretty tight budget (too many expensive hobbies already) but I'm happy with it. Nothing extreme, but it should handle everything I plan to ever throw at it. Couple questions I still have are about the pump & rad fans. I don't have a controller for them but have the pump hooked to the psu so it runs full power all the time, and I have the fans connected to the mobo so I can keep them turned down until I need the airflow. Does this sound about right? How important is a dedicated controller for the fans & pump besides the obvious convenience of adjusting?
