The Phantom Lord (Thermaltake Armor Modded Water Cool)

[Bio-Hazard]

Man, that chair of your's looks like it's hard as a brick..................

I guess that's one way of keeping yourself from sitting in front of the computer to long.......................

[martini161]

actually, theres a cushin on the butt, and i lean foward all the time so it doesnt matter

[martini161]

'nother update. did a copy cat of bio's mod to keep the memory cooler.

btw, that fans slides to be directly over the memory. with all the air blowing over them, and the nice heatsinks on them, i was able to get the orginal timings and frequency of 800mhz 5-5-5-18-2T, and i got it to post with 916mhz 5-4-3-9 1T, but i couldnt boot windows. the highest oc i could boot windows with was 868mhz 5-4-4-10 1T, and even then it was only good enough for a benching run. heres some before and after shots of the everest test.

What chip are you going to put in your new motherboard? Your Q6600 is underpowered for that board.

What chip are you going to put in your new motherboard? Your Q6600 is underpowered for that board.

what makes you say that?

[vbironchef]

[strike]the lowest fsb that motherboard can handle is 1333. Your Q6600 fsb is 1066. Is the motherboard backward compatable?[/strike]

Edit: I looked on the CPU support list and it appears I was mistaken, it can go all the way down to 800 with the Dual Core E2XXX chips.

[martini161]

plus i plan on trying to get this chip to 1600 fsb if i can

[martini161]

ok, ive been giving the chuck the modding tlc he deserves! ive cut out holes for wires and got rid of the mesh that was blcoking air from going to the rad. if any one has any more ideas, id love em! i just feel like there still more i can do

[DMB2000uk]

Paint it!

Dan

[martini161]

pfft other than that? if i painted it it would look worse than the it does now. i have alreadydone several things to it including getting the rad mounted inside! (finally)

[DMB2000uk]

Well while it's apart you should get some more tubing, and take the time to clean out your radiator with vinegar and blocks with vinegar and tomato ketchup.
(If you don't want to get some more tubing, find some way to scrape off the gunk inside your existing ones)

When I did mine in April I had lots of build up on my pipes and stuff, and since I've cleaned them out and the rad and blocks, it's stayed cleaner a lot longer. I've just had a good look at it and it has started to cloud up again, but not as bad as it had got before i cleaned it all out.

Dan

[martini161]

well i might do that. i have to buy some extra long sata calbes to, if they even sell those, my current ones arent long enough to reach the dvd drive at the top of my case, even when there not routed behind hte motherboard tray. im having some trouble with the wiring to,theres not much space to work with from the back of the tray to the side panel

[martini161]

Just ordered 5 feet of silver tygon antimicrobial tubing, a swifty rad (2x120mm), some screws, some antikink coils, and my extra long sata cable and 3 yate loon fans for 3 bucks each from jabtech. hope it gets here by friday or else ill be mighty pissed

[vbironchef]

Did I ever tell you that I met Chuck Norris and his wife. Well I did and they were very nice people. Chuck is showing is age but he could still kick my ass. Maybe you should rename your rig to someone that is not semi-retired

[martini161]

wow, lucky you. ive been thinking about renaming the rig for a while, but havent come up with anything better

[vbironchef]

There are alot of cool names in the movie Transformers. Bone Crusher comes to mind. What about: Kill Box Alpha One
