Water Cooling Project

I've converted my number crunching machine ti water cooling.

Well actually it's a hybrid of water and air cooling.

CPU and 1 GPU are now watercooled.
The second GPU, RAM, Northbridge, Southbridge and hard drives are still air cooled.
Plus the case still has 3 fans, one of which is controlled by the temperature on the CPU water block.

The project has been successful as the GPU running temp has dropped from 70 C to 50 C and the CPU temperature is more stable, although a couple of degrees higher around 45 C.

This is the ZALMAN Resorator 1 V2 basic kit.

Lazy Saturday

I'm having, what I used to call a lazy day in my old life, today, not going out anywhere and just relaxing, I've done my housework for the day now, so apart from physio and eating, I've got nothing to do.

My parents are going out somewhere, but I'm not going with them, I'm trying to give them more time to themselves as well as having more time to myself.
I know I shouldn't but I feel guilty for putting them through what I have.

My mum still fusses over me, but I'm trying to wean her off it!
I've stopped her from letting herself into my flat now, she has to knock the door like everyone else. It makes the place feel more like my own again! - Little things!

The first stage of overclocking on my PC seems to be OK, system seems stable enough, the only thing I have noticed is perhaps a 1 degree rise in Northbridge temperature.

I've got my eye on the GPUs for the next overclocking stage, before I do any more on the motherboard.

Friday

Just a shopping trip into town this morning with parents. I didn't buy anything, on an economy drive, in preparation for when I get car. Walking made me a bit tired. Enjoyed a nice nap this afternoon.

Just finished first stage of PC overclocking. Bus speed 333MHz -> 340MHz seems OK so far going to do a week of stability testing now before next stage.

CPU-Z validation.
