** Water cooling System Upgrade - Sub zero here I come **

Hi pRot3us, you know you want to

Any hooo .... the MSI GTX780 had a warranty sticker on the back of one of the heatsink screws, so that is going back sadly, I'm not voiding a warranty just to put a waterblock on it ? Stupid really, why there ? Anyway, replacement on the way, but no rush truthfully. So the GTX560Ti will do for the moment.

System built, running air cooling (OH THE SHAME), I need a little time to plan the next water cooling setup lol some special things in the pipeline (I'll get my coat lol).

Assembly ....



I just had to lap the heatsink, the need to tinker ! Only to 1200 grit, I've run out of 1500/2000/2500.



A hasty build, hence some scrappy cabling management



I must say I am seriously impressed with sound levels and temperatures when it is at idle, but when under load not impressed at all.





The star of the show is the power supply, it seems to run passively all the time 99% efficiency at idle





Check the speed of these out

 

Jesus wept!!
No RAID0?

 

Nice, not that I understand much of it, how would I run a diagnostic on my laptop like that for comparison?

 

You'd need to use the proprietary SSD software tool for each individual manufacturer (Intel, OCZ, Samsung, etc.), or use the following:
