Great job done there jabba... Good luck further in the process of the making..
How long have you been without the quadruple monitor system up and running? |

Impressive stuffs :shock: What a lot of cables and electronics ...
I hope it will work fine :wink: |
Yep working great so far...now just got to tune her up for maximum performance.
|
I guess it's not the easiest part ....
|
What to say.. painfull experience but I guess you learnt many things from it! And thankfully you are skilled at such things!

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?
|
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?! :D |
great to see its FINALLY coming all togetther. it will be great when its up and running
|
That think looks Wicked!!!
I am sure it will perform as wild as it looks... (Great going, Dude.. Thats some major sh*t you got there..) |
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 |

Was there any hint of leak on the other before you discovered it was broken?
|
Condensation dripping from the insulation but it was very minor and therefore hard to detect.
|
well, it looks the bollocks, and lets face it - whats 200mhz loss between friends. :P
|
Jabba u are the king! that system is more than my brian can process. u got stuff in their ive never even hrd of, but ive gained an infinite amount of knowledge since i joined JW, and look forward to learning more, and one day maybe ill have enuf knowledge to build a system so technically superior as urs :mrgreen: (and the $$$ to do it of course!)
|
so can you take bong hits with your water cooling set up?
cause that would be crazy! |
As in make drinks with it ?
|
Sad that it ended like this , you payed a lot of money for the system and you are building it yourself , imagine how much money would have you saved by making this at the first time ... well ... for the next pc you can build your own setup :D
Weird that you are getting just 4.0 from the 3.2 ghz P4 , im sure ive read in overclockers.cl about ppl getting 3.7 off 2.8 P4 processors , thats why building an overclocked PC is worth the money , buying a 2.4GHZ processor made these days its basically the same as the most powerfull ( 3.6 i believe ) , so you can squeeze it till 3.7 3.8 easily . BTW very nice job , it must be apain in the ass to build all that stuff |

When things are going right with it then you feel a real sense of achievement...when things start going badly that it can become a bit frustrating. |

BTW , what happened with the savrov guys about the videocards ? I lost that discussion since ive been with a lot of tests lately , thats why my lack of posting |

I have so far gone through a psu, air cooled reservoir, maybe a new P4 (The current one has been slightly damaged by corrosion) over £200 in various shipping charges and more to come (just ordered another double rad) you would be surprised how quickly it can all add up. I do agree with you that it can be excellent fun though. |

looking in the pics , the socket of the cpu looks full of thermal paste , ive read everywhere that you just need a little , this guys bathed the processor in that shit , which is not good ( i can be wrong , im a n00b in this stuffs ) http://www.supercarshowdown.co.uk/ch...et%20above.JPG http://www.supercarshowdown.co.uk/ch...0of%20chip.JPG |

well jabba, you can take some comfort in the knowledge that even if it fucker doesnt work, it will still look the bollocks! :P
|
It works great better than ever thanks. It runs at 3.8 GHZ which is 200 mhz slower than with the vapochill but runs happily 24/7 and is much quieter as well now.
|
nice, i've been motoring the progress, i missed you're web cam, and staring at the reversed parked lambo and ferrari :P
i can understand how painful and expensive some leaning can be (ie: my own sys) but it was worth it in the end for the satifaction when it worked and i made it work :)! |
Wow, great looking computer Jabba, It's sad to hear that your vapochill system was not reliable 24/7. Just out of curiosity, are you having any voltage drop problems with your p4 chip when it's running at full load? I've heard stories about the MAX3 board dropping a bit of voltage when it runs at full load resulting in a poorer overclock. There's a physical modification that you can do to your board if you want to fix it (I'll send you more info about it if you're interested), but I'm sure you find that 3.8Ghz is fast enough :D
|
hmmm interesting...not had any problems in that dept so far....
|
i know the pain Jabba, my computer caught on fire because of the power supply and ruined the motherboard :twisted:
but take it as i do, it's all a learning experience. my lesson, never keep a power supply for 6 years! if u still want 4.0GHz equivalent tho, then AMD now has the Athlon 64 4000+ (http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/...5_9487,00.html) but i guess after all ur hard work u probably just wanna get wat u have workin. anyway, one thing is for sure, u'll always have something to look back upon and smile at 30 years from now! :D |
Yep quite happy with it at long last.
|
thank fuk, finally! :P

Look good jabba, glad to see its up and running, hopefully all goes well this time around.

Thats what happens when you open a thread from a year ago.
|
Yes, you have a point, besides its been well and truly replaced now with a 4GHZ conroe and Savrow are no longer in business anyway, serves them right, for fucking me over though.
