REBUILDING MY SAVROW PC

[Jabba]

For those that missed all the drama in the other threads...I have decided to replace my vapochill cooling system with an extreme water based cooling solution.

The main reason for this is that vapochills tend to condensate if left idle for long periods of time as I found out the expensive way when some condensation destroyed two videos cards at a cost of over £750.

Anyway things are going quite well now but theres still much to do. I have so far managed a stable P4 3.4 @ 3.75 ghz my target is 3.8 ghz and I have just bought a further double rad to hopefully enable me to reach the target.

Thanks to thamar and dan for all their wonderful help.

How long have you been without the quadruple monitor system up and running?

Thanks. Well over one month so making good use of my laptop but sadly no videos until my main system is back up and running 100% again.

Impressive stuffs :shock: What a lot of cables and electronics ...
I hope it will work fine

[Jabba]

Yep working great so far...now just got to tune her up for maximum performance.

Very true words but I am very lucky to have such great support from such very clever people on JW.

The final stages are indeed very enjoyable when you can see that you are starting to make some good progress at long last.

So are you still getting 4 gig out of your P4 and cooling it to the same sort of temps as the vaporchill?

[Jabba]

As said 3.75 ghz so far but should make at least 3.8 but more importantly I can run it 24/7 which I couldn't do before.

Wow, that looks mighty complicated... :shock:

I hope all problems will be solved now, Jabba. Great to hear you got good support from Dan and thamar. Isn't this place just the best?!

looking good jabba... just need a hood ornament, and the front facia (scale size, of course) for your radiator
ive always been afraid of using water cooling systems, good to seen yours coming along with an aditional 350mhz (so far) too

Me as well...but the connectors seem to be very reliable as there hasn't been even a hint of a leak so far.
