Wasmachineman's Water Cooling Adventures

[Wasmachineman_NL]

really, really liking my OBT thus far

inb4 "WHY IS THERE A FAN AIMED AT THE VRM WHEN YOU GOT A WATERBLOCK ON IT????" because there's doublers on the back that run hellish hot

 

[Wasmachineman_NL]

I did thing:

If it wasn't for the AX1600i being way too deep I could have used the vertical mode of the OBT.

 

[Wasmachineman_NL]

Someone stop me, I bought another MoRA3.

And I am intending on ditching the Define 7 XL my main rig uses for a OBT.

If you ever plan to part ways with it, I could be interested

The D7XL? I have a spare one already (the one that used to house the BRR). hmu in PMs if you're interested

 

[Wasmachineman_NL]

OBT #2 ordered, and I made a shelf next to my desk to place it on.

 

[Wasmachineman_NL]

God I love how much room this thing saves.

 

[Wasmachineman_NL]

MoRA3 #2 came in the mail, set it up for the BRR upstairs, and now I gotta wait for Watercool to get their asses in gear and ship out my Heatkiller Tube mounting bracket.

In the meantime I also have to wait for HighFlow to get back from vacation because I need a single Torque MM 7 extender :skull: (also a few Torque 90s because I stole two of them out of a spare parts/backup rig upstairs)

i'm amazed you have strength to deal with all this. I have new cpu's, gpu, optane ram, and passive gpu fan kit and its all sitting for months for me to move my ass.

It's this, or literally dying of boredom.

A rotary offset extender fitting gave me an idea for the MoRA upstairs since I didn't want to wait on my highflow order:

What the MoRA3 in my bedroom uses: Torque M-F 7 extender > Torque Rotary 90 > Torque M-M 7 extender > Torque MM 28 extender (and it being a TIGHT fit)
Above setup: Torque M-F 7 extender > Rotary 90 > Torque M-M 14 Rotary extender > Torque Rotary Offset 3 (and since it's a rotary offset fitting mounting it is far, far easier)

 

[Wasmachineman_NL]

I also got my Highflow shit in the mail (HK Tube standalone bottom and a few Torque 90s) and rebuilt the case that used to house the BRR.

That C8E is so ****ered I'm genuinely surprised it still works fine otherwise. Bunch of dead USB ports in the back, it has massive issues booting 4 DIMMs, and I also suspect the DIMM.2 slot is electrically broken.

IB-EP OP

4.75 GHz 2C, 4.65 GHz 6C, 4.5 GHz 8C HT on, not stable in games unfortunately

 

[Wasmachineman_NL]

I just bought this:

Yes, another R4BE, with waterblocks and 32GB of 2133 CL9. Needed a board to bin 1680 V2s on and this is the solution.

 

[Wasmachineman_NL]

I have a problem.

I bought another R4BE because it was €50 shipped :skull: remains to be seen if it's not DOA

 

[Wasmachineman_NL]

Waterblocked R4BE came in the mail. That colored coolant ruined every block on the board :skull:

Also, the 4930K on it is completely ****ED. I have to run +100mV Vcore offset for it to not crash with WHEA BSODs.

 

[Wasmachineman_NL]

Board works just fine otherwise, so there's that 8) now to find more 1680V2s to bin.

Came in the mail at last. IT POSTS! €50 shipped R4BE with box and accessories, hell I ain't complaining

CPU is a 3960X and it had a 4.5 GHz OC on it, eh whatever I have a 1680V2 on order that should come tomorrow or next week.

 

[Wasmachineman_NL]

R4BE #2 on the test setup, and yes that's the MoRA3 from the attic:

 

[Wasmachineman_NL]

damn this 1680V2 I got in the mail is a good clocker, it's doing 4.75 GHz all-core stable thus far and also DDR3-2666.
