but 40C should not be cutting anything ok !!!

Cancel that its just gone again so its got to be heat !

OK maybe its not an overheat problem - just un-overclocked to default RAM speeds and CPU and so far ok. Weird that this system runs Prime95 OK and crisis 3 etc but Eve is killing it. Well more testing un-clocked and then I will have to try the RAM at 2400 and see if that holds up.

All my PC has been running fine. I have changed the Radiator fans to Corsair high static versions and again its been fine till today. I was actually playing Eve online and could see via Realtemp I was at 41 degrees celcius and all working ok when system switched off. However there was...

I have an EK CPU block and two rads 1 x 240 and 1 x 360. The 360 is pulling air into the case with 3 x Alpenföhn 120mm Wing Boost Plus PWM Fan - Red Clover Edition fans. The 240 is push air out the top of case with 2 x Alpenföhn 120mm Wing Boost Plus PWM Fan - Red Clover Edition I also...

Guys I have my new rig up and running and the CPU (i7 Haswell), runs at 3.5 default and idles on water at about 26C. I have upped the RAM via XMP profile to 2400 and that gives me 3.9 on the CPU. I can run Prime95 and Windows etc nice and stable. Then changed the CPU base manually to...

These fans are Alpenföhn 120mm Wing Boost Plus PWM Fan - Red Clover Edition They are rated at 105M3 at 12v and I had a bitch getting them all in !! I will see how temps go, they certainly keep my legs cool with the air coming out the bottom of the case !

well i don't know anything about static pressure. Are these fans really bad ? Can you let me know fans that are really good for static pressure and quiet and RED. Cheers

OK its running - did a leak test for 8 hours with no problems. So powered up and running idle in BIOS my CPU is at 26C and my system temps at 30-33C. Is that ok? What program should i use under windows 8 to see temps ? Core temp?

Guys, installing my water cooling in my Corsair 540 case and notice that standard compression fittings are really tight and close to the SSD tray. Therefore I have got some 45 degree connectors and they rub on my fans !!! I have got the rad in and run the tube that goes back to the...

ok guys yes both cards running fine at the moment under air. I queried it as i had heard about running without water for test but that seems really risky. Therefore will fit the blocks and plumb. cheers

Guys, So I have my system running on air / Corsair H100 to test all new components. I have 2 x EVGA 780TI cards that will be getting EK water blocks fitted that are working fine on air. So can I fit a water block to one of the 780's and just plug it into the rig without water to test it...

All, put my rig together on air to test components whilst I am waiting for the water blocks. So i have a couple of questions I need answering please. 1/ I am going to be using Mayhem's pre-mixed liquid, but do i need to add anything extra to stop algae or anything? 2/ I have two EVGA...

ok lastly whats the preference for the flow. Pump& Res -> top Radiator -> CPU -> GPU -> Front Rad -> back to pump Is that about right & mount pump & res as high in case as poss?

Guys I really appreciate the info its blooming good on all counts. I am ok with overkill :)

Doom i did indeed say everything - you are right. However am i limiting myself with the RAM, surely I can order 2400MHz ram ? OK guys whats the benefit of 1150 vs 2011? Is it just 2011 is a newer chip and socket and hence should be lower power consumption? Sorry for educating me - i...

Also on doom I am guessing the fans would only be push. Will that be enough or should I go Pull & push?

Thanks. So worthwhile going single graphics and can add second one later ? 2k Was only a lower bench I can go above if needed. I was not including case or Hard drives at that price either so 2.5K is better.

Hi gurus, I am looking to build a beast system round the Corsair 540 case. Will be over clocking as hard as she can go. I want to water cool everything, and the internal colour scheme will be red inc LED on fans and fluid. I only want two way SLI. Can you spec me best CPU / MB / RAM...

Thanks guys. Budget wise not really worried just want to keep costs to less than 1500 quid. Funny I am not keen on ATI - but will look at the suggestion. Need a CPU cooler - not gonna go Water on this build will stick to air until the Next CPU's come out.
