Good stuff. My only suggestion is if you like tweaking your cooling and system in general so much, it might pay to simply invest in a water cooling solution or assemble one yourself. When Thermalright V1 Ultra costs $50, SI-120 is $50 and your chipset fan at $15 and other case fans $10, you can probably purchase a water cooling solution that'll perform better, be quieter and cooler to look at.

Otherwise, I enjoy reading about your Endeavors

Nice

I am very impressed. Nice job all around! So is your computer quite a bit quieter? I know you said yes already, I just wondered by how much. Thanks.

:laugh: I love it. Nice mod job on the V1 :thumbsup:

My X1900 mod job looks a little more like this. I'm just waiting for the proper backplate to arrive, then I can get busy!

LOL I'll put this with a thermaright fan on top @5k rpm and along with my xp90c and the same fan I will have a lear jet in my house...

LOL. Kiddin of course..

Very nice work m8

 

[JBT]

that looks sweet.

 

[Stoneburner]

impressive results. I'm curious about the thermal grease tough, that seemed like a whole lotmore than a thin layer...

 

[mooncancook]

I'm tempted. Is it much quieter than the stock cooler?

 

[Old Hippie]

VERY NICE! A work of art!

The SI-120 cost me $45 shipped new. Everything else is spot on.

I've thought quite seriously about water but I take my computer to my friends house about every month and a half. Its about two hours away and it rides flat on the back seat of my car. Plus a complete wather cooling system would probably set me back at least $250 (I'd have to get the best of the best). So I've just stuck with air for the time being.

Trusy me, it was thin. I had to pull the heatsink off later to fix somthing else and I can verify that it seats with a VERY thin layer of compound between the GPU core and the HS base. anything extra gets squeezed out the sides. Should have taken more pictures.... :roll:

 

[Yreka]

looks good.. nice results

Thats alot of work, i would have just been lazy and bought the x2 cooler from arctic cooling.

Good results too.

bump for the people who may have missed this.

 

[Corporate Thug]

well done!

 

[sodcha0s]

Dude, you have balls the size of grapefruits...LOL

 

[Crescent13]

You call that a "very thin layer of AS5"??? Dude. You put like twice as much as needed.

Sadly that picture makes it look like *MUCH* more was used than there actually was.
