Define S build

[Necrodead]

Well she sprung a leak, the crystal-T I was using actually shattered. Still held together but full of cracks on the side I couldn't see. Just my fault from over tightening I think, the bitspower rotary parts are really stiff and that's the side that cracked. Running a leak test with just distilled, I have some meyhams X1 clear to put in after. I might go red pastel next time I order from Daz.

sucks about the tee have used a couple with no problems even have cranked them to get the odd valve to line up properly last build used the rotating adapter though to make valve straight this time around.

Build looks nice and neat GJ necro you have a busy setup there yet it came out nice and clean.

Cool job of running your loop in parallel. Will be curious to see or final temps.

Going to have to try that one of these days does look cool ...

I have a piece of 10mmx10mm aluminum t-slot holding up the gpu in the back near the pump. Plasti dipped it back for stealth, but keeps the gpu at 90.

Can't tell. sweet job.

this is one of my favorite loops. yes parallel config will be no variance in temp.
the way you've brought all the fittings to the front to meet the eye is superb.

Cool looking setup Necro!!

Man sorry to hear bout the leak. But hey those rog stickers look so much better with the red eye and black circles. I thought you were gonna do like I did with the corsair ones. But I like how u did it so much better!! and ya man be sure to let us know how temps and flow rate are with the parallel loop even if a lil warmer and you have to turn up the pump a bit the look of it is so worth it IMO.

Thanks brothers, temps are really good so far. Vario D5 set to 4 was a little loud so I will test with 3 setting but at 4 the cpu+gpu got to 58 running firestrike extreme on a loop. I don't have a long enough ethernet cable remaining to get internet on this comp, haha. I am moving at the end of the month so I'm not gonna buy a cable now.
I am having a problem where it seem to take forever to boot when my mouse/keyboard are plugged in. Trying to fix with a fresh windows install.

The 5mm LED plugs in the top and bottom of the res do nothing. I had hoped for more in a dark case with the 5mm instead of 3, but I think I need a darkside strip behind the res to make it match.

lighting looks cool not too bright

Looks good. Red is hard to photo.

glad you posted bout that cause really considering buying them a couple times. think Ill hold off

Yeah I don't know why they don't work, the cpu and pump are lit up really nicely. Maybe if I had one of the clear bitspower res's it would work. Next ordre from Daz I will either get a white led strip and light up the whole case, or a red one for the res.

Anyways I have had nothing but problems with this comp. At first I thought it was the PCI riser, and it may have been because while in the P5 my comp only booted 1 of 4 or 5 attempts. However once I got the parts into the Define S I also had the same error code, although at this point it was more of a 50-50 split. I think the issue happens whenever I cold boot after turning the psu off, and then to solve it I have to clear the cmos and reset my settings. So far I have only got it stable with 2133 speeds on the ram, it is possible my cpu doesn't like the 3000mhz of the XMP settings but I have yet to test since I fixed the issue.

Okay, so then my computer boots as long as I leave the psu on, however I went to play some gta5 and it would not load! Well after about 15 minutes it did load and I ran the prologue, but it was super jittery. I finally, after about 6 hours, got gta to load normally after I deleted all the game files and re-installed. And I mean all the files, I may have missed one the first time I re-installed because it persisted. Then I had this aweful stuttering to deal with, turned out to be crossfire but my other comp was fine with the same settings. Finally did some reg edit thing I found online about gta5 and crossfire and it works smoothly and at 74fps all the time. (74 since if you lock it at 75 technically it is out of freesync range, not that I noticed a difference)

So on benchmarks yes, the 6600k was better, but the whole time I was trying to fix all these issues I was looking longingly at my FX cpu. Crazy, I know. I just thought that since 'intel is better' and 'amd is shit' according to the internet, the intel would be more 'plug&play'. 900 more points in firestrike extreme from between the 8320 at 4.6ghz and the 6600k at 4.5ghz, is the difference really what the internet would have you believe? I don't think so. On most forums they would have you believe an FX cpu can't even run demanding games. the i5 wasn't worth double the cost over the FX IMO.

Man that really sux about ur issues. so its still acting jittery? like when you had the riser?

No, I've got it now after hours of troubleshooting, it does run a bit better than the 8320FX I will say, a bit! It wasn't bad performance when I used the riser, but the comp only turned on about 1/5 of the time.
