Thanks for the quick response:D I know this post is a bit overwhelming in length, but the topic of watercooling is a bit overwhelming in complexity.
It seems to me that we could get a definitive answer by complicating the problem a bit.
I haven't studied heat transfer significantly (I'm EE)...
I currently have a Gigabyte X58A-UD3R with an Intel i7 930 and a Corsair H50 cooler. These components are installed in a Corsair 800D case. I recently overclocked my processor to 4.2GHz, here are my system settings.
CPU Vcore = 1.2875V (level 2 load line calibration)
CPU clock drive =...
The desktop just crashed. The screen became "checkered". I wasn't doing anything intensive. I transferred a ~40,000kb video of Crysis crashing from my Droid to my uploads folder. I began watching the video and the system crashed after 5 seconds.
I had to physically turn off the system since...
I made a mistake earlier, I do not have Corsair XMS3. I have two kits of Corsair Dominator TR3X6G1600C8D, which is rated for 8-8-8-24-2 @ 1600MHz @ 1.65V.
I cleared my cmos and removed all of my DDR3, except for the module corresponding to DDR3_1 in Channel 0. I went into my BIOS and...
I'm pretty sure its measuring the voltage.
The Orange Rail (+5V) is almost exactly at +5V on the graph and appears invariant. Likewise, the darker Green Rail (+3.3V) is almost exactly at +3.3V on the graph and the Red Rail (+1.52V) is almost exactly at +1.5V. They both appear invariant...
Any thoughts on why the 12V voltage reading in the BIOS would be significantly different from the voltage reading conducted during the Sandra SiSoftware Burn-In Test?
The BIOS is showing 12.365V for the +12V rail,
while Sandra is showing a dynamic voltage of 2.00V to 2.81V (2.40V avg)
I...
Also, Windows 7 is not recognizing my 1.5TB Western Digital Caviar Black HDDs. However, they are recognized in the BIOS.
Here are some screen shots.

It appears the HDDs are recognized as hardware :hmm...
I completed the Sandra SiSoftware Analysis and Advice. Here are the results. (GPU drivers are not installed)
I currently have CoreTemp running. Here's a screen shot.
I completed the Sandra SiSoftware burn-in. Here are the results. (GPU drivers are not installed).
I think my PSU might be shot, any thoughts? It's interesting that my motherboard thinks the 12V rail is at 12.365V, while Sandra observed it below 3V.
I recently built myself a custom computer for multiphysics simulations and light gaming.

Hello Anandtech members:biggrin:
I am an engineering student at Purdue University and am currently working on a research project related to the fatigue behavior of loudspeakers. I am interested in building a linux workstation, which uses CalculiX FEA software to solve a fully coupled system...
Being a full time student, I do not have a large budget. We'll see how much money I'll be able to scrape together. I recently placed the vast majority of my loudspeaker drivers up for sale to finance this project. I should be able to manage $1500-2000, MAYBE $4000.
I am aware that FEA...
