lol, sooo I just failed really badly.

Remember the Mini ITX HTPC I was building a few months back, well I sold it. The guy I sold it to decided he wanted to upgrade the graphics card, remember the case was a Lian Li PC-Q07 which is tiny and hardly any room for a GPU, so I was looking around for one that would fit when I came across this system

http://www.aria.co.uk/Systems/Gaming+Range/Essence/Essence+Nano+Mini-ITX+Gaming+PC+?productId=41842

Notice the case, same Lian Li, GPU is a XFX 5770 Single slot... So I told him to get that card, well he dropped off the case and GPU for me to install tonight and the GPU does NOT FIT D: It's to long. Major fail.

So he spent £120 on a card that will not fit because of me ;x I guess he has 3 choices, buy a new case for around £90!?, return the card IF they will take it back and exchange it for a crappy 5670 or I can attempt to mod the case to make it fit, which would be messy and ugly since all my tools were stolen ages ago ;x

Anyway, I feel like an idiot. Rolling Eyes

You lucky he's not me! I would have kicked your ass until 2012!

Well, I've started making a custom bracket thingie out of brushed alluminium... I just don't have the tools to finish it Sad

So I've contacted chilledpc to see how much they will charge to make it instead ;x

I'm half way there, I just need to get a cover made from aluminium now to hide the end of the card and PCI-E cable..

Yeah, after thinking about it I don't think it's worth getting the cover made, I contacted chilledpc and they said it would cost £20 to make it :l
I think it looks fine right now too Razz

I'm going to send the guy a picture and see if he thinks it's ok without it, if he likes it then i won't get the cover made Wink

what about bananas? lol!

Ohhh lol, I thought you were going to mount the rad to the back of the case xD I don't see the res either! Are you using clamps too?

How do you have it set up? PUMP > RAD > CPU ? and how are your temps? should be much better than DH14 Wink

Guest

i don't use the clamps, the tubing is really small. The order is pump - wb - rad - reservoir - pump, and the temp are 30° idle 42° full load with fans at 1000rpm and pump at max power rabbit

Posts : 980 Join date : 2010-09-26

The tubing is 1/2" ID yeah?

Even if it feels tight on the barbs you should use clamps, seriously.. Best to be carefull.

but nice temps :D and full load as in? vcore? LinX, max memory, 25 runs? Razz

Guest

No the fitting is 1/2 ID (abaout 15mm) and i use 13mm ID...

So the OC is my daily setting 3660 vid 1.16 HT off Turbo off, and i use linx with max memory (1700 XDDDDDD) for 100 runs.

temp ambient 20°

Noctua nh-d14 + artic 5 = idle 37 full 67
liquid + artic 5 = idle 28 full 40

I'd still use clamps ;x

Now you just need more RAM xD

Nice temps though, might drop another 2c soon too since AS5 takes a long time to cure Wink

The stupid place I ordered the Silver Arrow from still doesn't have them in stock! Sad

It's in stock at other places now but I already paid.... Bastards.

Who watched the movie "The Good Shepherd"? It is more than two hours, but it worth to watch. At first it seems very boring, but then, then it becomes really exiting.

I hate Matt damon and Angelina Jolie Sad

I'll watch it if I ever get the chance though Razz

I watched things to do in denver when you're dead last night for like 5th time ;x

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114660/

It's not great but if you get what it's actually about then it's good :l

and so you don't compare it to pulp fiction

Quote :: This is an excellent film that has interesting characters, a tricky plot line and alot of cool phrases/sayings. This is a movie critizied for copying Pulp Fiction, but it's not the same kind of movie. It's script was made before Pulp Fiction and is more complex then Pulp fiction. Steve Buscemi is a standout in the cast as a deadly hitman named Mr. Shh, and also noticeable is Treat Williams who is the psychotic Critical Bill. This is a totally original film that should be recognized and talked about, it only had bad timing on it's release.

ooops i wrote in wrong topic, wanted to be in OT
