Now that's a cool radiator! I checked out the EVGA Classified before I settled on the Rampage 2 Extreme. The only thing that stopped me was it wouldn't fit in the case I had. Since I had just bought the case, with the computer last August, I opted to use something that wouldn't look like I just threw out a whole bunch of money for nothing.

You know once you get to the radiator that size you might just as well think about getting one from a motorcycle or something. It might be cheaper. lol SETI@home classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours ![]() |

I figured out I need to get a 7/8" Bi-metal hole saw to relocate the water cooling tubing exits while using two psus and a water cooled EVGA Classified 200 motherboard, But their not too expensive. Of course now there are 3 areas where I could drill 4 holes, two areas are next to the psus and one area is above the card slots on the motherboard, Hey Steve what do You think? I just cut out everything I could. Your case is designed a bit differently. I used heavy wire cutters, and removed the grills on the back. I then had to file down the sharp edges, and even covered some with duck tape. Since it was the back of the case, I was more worried about functionality then asthetics. The original case had two grommets in it, but I found it impossible to keeep them in the case once I inserted the hoses. I guess it's do what ever works with your case, and can be accomplished easily. Steve Steve Warning, addicted to SETI crunching! Crunching as a member of GPU Users Group. GPUUG Website |

I found it easier to remore whole sections rather than cut individual holes, The way I saw it, the more material I removed, the more air flow I had, plus, the less confined the tubes were. This helps if you have to remove your cards for any reason with the tubes still attached. Steve Warning, addicted to SETI crunching! Crunching as a member of GPU Users Group. GPUUG Website |

I just recently had to buy a new sound card. It was a PCIe one, but when I got it, it wouldn't fit where the old one was because of a mother board heat sink. I had to relocate it in the third PCIe slot under the two hosed GTX 480's. In order to do that I had to remove both cards with the water blocks still attached. I was greatful for two things. First, that I had a wide aperture for the hoses, and second that it discouraged me from buying another 480 to fill that slot as I was thinking of prior to that. I have to stop some where before I run out of credit. Steve Warning, addicted to SETI crunching! Crunching as a member of GPU Users Group. GPUUG Website |

That is exactly how mine is. I too suffered a sharp stab or two, but I got the job done. It gives you plenty of room, and it works great as long as you don't care about a case warranty... :-) Steve Warning, addicted to SETI crunching! Crunching as a member of GPU Users Group. GPUUG Website |

The Problem is not to build a Hells Cruncher - with a EVGA SR-2, 7 GTX 295 and 2 6-Core Xeons there will be a RAC of 200k possibile. But that means, that the BOINC Manager have - assumed you choose a three Day Cache - to handle 5000-6000 Workunits! That high amount of Data will slow down this Rig like Hell and make it unstable! |

The Problem is not to build a Hells Cruncher - with a EVGA SR-2, 7 GTX 295 and 2 6-Core Xeons I hadn't seen that problem in months, I thought it was fixed. Have had up to 6000 units and no problems here. Used to get the Boinc Communicating message don't think I have seen it since the .28 release. Official Abuser of Boinc Buttons...

Really? Sounds good. I don't remember exactly when it was - last Year or so. With a missconfigured app_info BOINC downloaded 3500 Workunits over Night. I was unable to move the Mouse or open an Application or Explorer Window. :D |

Really? Sounds good. I don't remember exactly when it was - last Year or so. With a missconfigured I used to complain about that all the time, seems it was around Feb that I quit noticing the problem. Have had a 7 day cache since then and went 10 day last month.

Well, however - i wish you luck if you ever build you Dream Cruncher. ;) But one word to say - two Magicool NOVA 1080 and five Graphic Cards and then this weak Eheim. I don't think the pressure of this pump is enough. |

Well, however - i wish you luck if you ever build you Dream Cruncher. ;) It looks like it can run in High Power mode which increases the pump quite a bit but voids warrentee? Why have a setting they don't want you to use? Official Abuser of Boinc Buttons... And no good credit hound! ![]() |

It seems My specs are changing a bit, But not too much, As of now their as follows: Five GTX295 cards wont fit on a EVGA Classified 200 motherboard. Not if there doublewide cards like my GTX285. Only three will work on that motherboard. Maybe I'm missing something here? Edit: Am I looking at the wrong motherboard? http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5083737&SRCCODE=GOOGLEBASE&cm_mmc_o=VRqCjC7BBTkwCjCECjCE |

Not sure but this is in the specs.... The Innovatek HPPS Plus 12V pump (based on the Eheim) is the upgraded and improved flagship pump from Innovatek. It is an power boost and performance upgrade upon the design of the original HPPS 12V Pump that has been used and relied upon by the thousands. The 20% improvement in the pump's discharge head puts it at an impressive 2.05 meters (6.7 feet). Even with the power increase it still only consumes 3 Watts of power to operate. This pump is designed for use with Innovatek cpu blocks and reservoirs. The Innovatek Plug-On Reservoirs are designed to mate with this pump with no extra parts. Special Operating Modes: The HPPS Plus has several operating modes for specialists and special applications besides the normal mode it is set to when the pump is delivered (6.7 foot discharge head). NOTE: The normal mode is more than sufficient for 99% of the users. Innovatek added the other two special modes for advanced users with special applications. Changing the modes will VOID THE WARRANTY. To change the mode - pull off the blue end cap, extract the control board and move the jumpers to the setting you want to use.
