Thanks guys ^^
@Phil I've been running it on the medium setting and the temp has been around 21c to 26c. I was playing Ridge racer unbounded and it went up to about 44c. I haven't tested it using the low or high setting so have no idea if it's working lol. Although I should try it haha. I've been using RealTemp to keep check on the temperature.

There's no way it's 21C. That's around 70F. I hit 22C running chilled water (far lower than ambient). Somethings up. If your chip runs at 21C, you have one hell of a chip.

Edit, never mind. I just noticed that those weren't under load

. The Ivy chips throttle down under no load and hardly pull anything.

what do you mean by under load? I think it was 21c after I turned the computer on and then it went up, maybe that's why it was low at the beginning?
Edit: This is what I'm getting after playing a game

Under load means stressing the processor to the point that it has to use all it's horses (usually only achieved by encoding or by special stress test programs) which makes it get much hotter than say 40% load or idle load which are pretty much the temps you talked about.

Phil wanted to know how well that cooler did at containing the full load heat so whilst running OCCT for instance (one of those stress test programs I talked about).

Oh right, I haven't ran any stress test programs at all

Yeah, the newest Intel Burn Test should nail it pretty good, now that it has AVX support. Very nice system ozz

. I like the subdued look of the case, and the color matching is sharp.

Yep, it's Thermalright's HR-05-SLI chipset heatsink. It works quite well on it, the chipset stays in the low-mid 40s C with no fan on it. The stock DFI heatsink had a horrible fan, that in my experience, dies after a couple of months and is very loud. I think I went through three Ultra-D's, all of them having bad fans, among numerous other issues.

That SLI-DR Expert came with the Thermalright heatsink, I bought the motherboard used a few years ago.

So far it's very nice. Plenty of room inside, and with both hard drive cages in, it'll hold eight hard drives. Lots of spots to put fans as well, most of them accommodating both 120mm and 140mm fans. I'll probably get a dual 140mm radiator and mount it to the top sometime this summer, and get my Opteron watercooling on again. I just need to do some more loop designing/planning, buy a few parts, and slap it together.

The other reason I got a new case was that the power supply was running quite hot at the top of the old case. Now it blows out cool air (no warmth at all), and the CPU temperature dropped 6-10 C.

Are the stock fans any good? I heard they're not that great, and those add to the cost quite a bit. I'm concerned about temperatures since my GeForce GTX 560 Ti can run at about the limit on a hot day when stressed. If I can sell the Stacker 830 to cover the cost, I was considering it. That'll have to be down the line if so though.

One of the fans appeared to be wobbling a bit when watching it spin, but they seem to be functioning well enough. It definitely has good airflow and it's quiet.

Was just thinking the same.

**SCHUMI_4EVER** · July 15th, 2012, 16:18

Yeah Phil you have that PSU the wrong way round I reckon. And that reading can't be from the SSD, it must be coming from a normal drive.

hmm wonder if it takes the reading from the slowest HDD in your system instead of the C: drive.

Didn't for me, that rating's at 7.something, even with many "normal" hdds.

While it probably won't hurt the PSU much that way, I imagine it'll hurt the video card. The PSU fan will probably overpower the video card fan.

830

Raptor

I've since flipped the PSU btw, I wanted to see how the fan affected airflow.

I haven't over provisioned my drive, and since it is 34% full, it has taken a hit speed wise (830's eclipse 500MB/s reads regularly). I also have to tweak it a bit.

Nice setup there Phil ^^.

Going to Overclock my card a bit to the level of a GTX 680. Ill post results later.

**Yeloazndevil** · July 19th, 2012, 02:24

phil does that mobo support SATA3? you need to install SATA3 drivers, my samsung 830 was at 5.9 and after I installed the SATA3 drivers it went to 7.9.
