System Specs

would have been much simpler if you just took some old fridge, taken the motor with the freon tank and the cooling pipes, soldered (or molded, whatever), the cooling pipes to the one BIG heatsink, wrapped the motor with the freon tank in some kind of sound isolation device (it could be anything, the empty case from the fidge would have done nicely ), and you can have the same temps, probably even lower, at the same clock speed.

whell, you did a SCARY solution nevertheless, just the sight of the case gives me the shivers , not to mention owning it would be REEEAAAALYYYYY SCARY . hmmmm... i wounder how many (hundred ) VST instruments i could play on that thing at the same time, hahahahahah

Re: Skulltrail air cooling project
That system is godlike. I'm very impressed. The engineering of it aside, the temps you pulled off with those 9775s is mindblowing. How does it fare under IntelBurnTest?

Re: Skulltrail air cooling project
I have been asked a few times if the system is painfully loud. I used a measuring device with the case door on close to the vents and it was measuring 18db. If I put the 3 GTXs to full fan it increases to 35db.

Yeah I beat Crysis Warhead and have had a good few testing sessions with STALKER Clear Sky.

What would you like to know ?

Yeah, but thankfully the front 3x140mm fans on the lian li chassis have a dust filter system. One of the nicest ive seen actually. You open the door. grab a little section at the top and pull up. and the whole front filter system comes out in one piece so you can clean it and slide it back in.

Re: Skulltrail air cooling project
Rough frame rates at absolute max for both games, and if there are any particular sections that perform worse than others, how the system got on in those areas.

Re: Skulltrail air cooling project
2560x1600 at enthusiast in crysis warhead, average around 45fps.

STALKER clear sky doesnt really support for 3 way SLI yet as such but its playable at 2560x1600 as well. havent really got around to benchmarking it on the skulltrail system as its in pieces again.
