Fan set up in modded C70.

Update on the C70. After being badgered by pop ups to update the Aquaero 5 LT controller, like a fool, I did. Three hours of removing and reinstalling the software,updated the MB bios, deleting all the registry entries and re installing , still will not read the MB sensors. Ok, F you Aquaaero...

H100 performance + asking for advice

Make sure the water block is seated, mine needed washers to make good contact. Changing the fans to Notcuas or AP-15's will help alot as they do not have the gaps on all for sides that draw air from in front of the rad instead of thru it like the corsairs. I would change the fans to AP-15's...

Peak power at 4.6 / 1.255V was 81.3 watts on the CPU max. At stock clocks and 4.4 this thing runs just fine a 1.13V. I bumped it up to 1.15 V just to be safe . The intel specs say 1.25V and the Gigabyte MB has it defaulted to 1.295V. No clear answer on Vcore max numbers, but I read a thread...

Ok, I am done playing with the Ammo Box. O/C it up to 4.6 and seemed to be stable in limited testing but reached 71C during Intel Burn test. Ran BF4 and COD AW and did not see any change in frame rates. Don't like those temps and don't need 4.6 to play games. Put it back to stock clocks and...

Fan Controller

Aquaero has some options for remote fan/ pump controllers. http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l1/g30/Liquid_Cooling.html?id=3ygwkETX I bought the LT and love it. Great software for setting up profiles.

Installed the H80 I with the GT-15's in push/pull and seal gaskets from the rad to fans. First Intel Burn test the temps went to 98 within 1 sec. Shut it down and re applied NT-1 paste and reseated the cooler. Saw that the CPU was at 58 just after boot up..................Sum Ting Wong...

No, sorry 230am post and I wasn't clear. The H60 was running at 46C to 48C OVER ambient at full load and XavierMace commented that the one of the reasons the setup was running at that was not pulling outside air into the H60 as recommended by Corsair. The temps readings at the intake of the...

No doubt that it does. But the intake air at the H60 is running about 2C over ambient max. So with the fan direction reversed you pick up 2c cooler air making a 44 to 46c drop. You would also have to factor the loss of flow from case pressure also. Not bashing the H60, I think...

While Prime95 tries to kill it, I will lay out the current (and most likely final) configuration on the Ammo Box. I7 4790k OC to 4.4 Gigabyte Z97-UD5H GSkill Sniper DDR3 1833 4GB x 2 EVGA GTX 780 Ti SC w/ Ref Cooler OC'ed 143/167 @ 106% voltage Intel 530 SSD 120GB Intel 730 SSD 480GB...

Ok, I think I have a handle on this now. The shutdown problem with Intel burntest was a windows update. That was only thing that changed when the shutdowns started, a service pack I believe. Uninstalled the update and the shutdowns stopped. Ran Burntest at very high for 1 cycle and passed @ 81C...

2000 not 200. Move the drive cage and now the case temps are lower by 1.5C. Running the Heaven benchmark the GPU is 1-2 C cooler. Can't run the burn test now to see if the temps are better as it shuts down the pc after about 5 sec. The only thing I can think of is when I shut down to move the...

Have the system up and running. The Aquaero LT is running but cannot access the MB sensors. Apparently Gigabyte are buttholes about sharing their sensor information with third parties. No matter the CPU/GPU info is transmitted to the LT. I set up the Aquaero remote temp sensors...

Correct. I believe that working with the fan speed on the 2 GT on the H60 will prove this. When I find that sweet spot, whatever number that is for both fans, I will set that as the max on the fan curve. As far as the "air molecules are bouncing through the heatpipe fins per unit of time" that...
