Okay time for another noob question concerning HDDs......

With the permanent and untimely demise of both Celtic Spirit and KestrelFlight it appears I will be venturing into the dark side with an...

:beerchug:

Shock test from about 4' above a concrete floor and some domestic tranquility issues.................. the case took on an odd shape and some things just didn't want to fit anymore........ not sure...

Not only has Celtic Spirit been retired for the final time, this build has had an untimely death.........some parts may find their way into Oz1a but watch for a forth coming for sale thread for the...

Been there done that!!! Thanks for the advice though, and will appreviate any more as I do some "four wheeling" on the next step!! :ahhhhh:



Thanks again BS as that way I can go back "stock"...

Go back to page 4 starting with reply #47......... ;-)

Thanks man that'll be a help!! BTW if you haven't tossed it yet, save the heatpipe assy for a couple of days as I may end up chopping on mine.

Actually what I was hinting at was what is there if I planned on using after market cooler(s)..........mounting holes and where is what.

As with all of my builds looks like there is still some changes coming down the pike with this build. Because of ebay and trying to figure out what I going to do with KestrelFlight v2.0 (water...

Instead of reading what you wrote, I just happen to "verbalize" it and "boing - boing - boing" I had a big DORH moment!!! Been a while since I played!!! :dielaffin: :beerchug:

Ahhhhhhhh.....under nothing stays the same.......... :coocoo:

When it finally got around to "fitting parts" in KF v2.0 and CS a "painful" discovery was made, CS even though it is a taller case...

The second GPU shows up in GPUz, HWMon, Precision, and a few other situations it is just that when the benchmark is done it refs only 1 GPU.

Doesn't find my sli setup says I only have 1 gpu??

YoKay......the first must have been a non-load. Found it on the next attempt to download. My first attempt at running the benchie I ended up with with some really crappy scores. Guess it helps to...

No offense taken and like you just making sure.........:dielaffin: :thumleft:




:? :?: :-?

@ ET3D You can use my addy and we can work out shipping for your BD gift if it happens!! ;-)

Cute spent 30 minutes to download the thing and I can't find it!! Come on it is either on the 32GB SSD or the dang 300GB V'Raptor but...............

That is a big unequivocal NO! What I meant was just that a free download that doesn't have all the bells and whisles. That is what I used for all the other versions over the years. Now that I think...

Okay guess I should join the fun.........where is and how long does it take to download the "free" version of this??

Who said chivalry is dead!! Best everyone!! :keepfolding:

WOOT!! And congrats to everyone on this one!!

Ya think!! :( :roll: :wink:

Yeah I dropped out of SLI and tried the dual GPU thing, then lost or corrupted something and could only fold with one card. So until I had time to work on the cooling issue(s) I removed one of the...

@ swmeek, are those the secret words I need to use to get my SLI to work?? ;-)

@ BS1, yes I used the SLI jumper, hope to play swap the card this weekend to see if one is DOA (they were both...

After running it last night and today noticed I had a bunch of GPU fails..........

Pls excuse quality as it...

As it turned out WinZip must have had some kind of "blocker" while it "demo" software was loaded!! After deleting it I was able to unzip using Windows!! ;-) V7 is running, now I just need to get...

AAAhhhhhhhhhh.................believe I did all the above and yes a combo of both!! Everytime I tried to open the file a "flag" would come up telling me my trial period of WinZip is expired.

Okay I'm running this little bugger on KestrelFlight and it is fantastic, however tried to set it up on Oz1a and ran into a very basic and embarriousing situation.....I can't unzip the file. Software...

Okay first up was I went into bios and enabled SLI, rebooted and ...........................................it wouldn't reboot!! Monitor indicated no signal. Pull out card and tried again and...

Okay I'm back on this thing and again I can't get the 2nd card even to show up in system manager, cpu monitor or nuttin!! So back to head scratching and looking for help. :-(:stuck:

Fans on top blowing down...okay. Been playing with cooling fans long enough to know why one uses finger guards!! :ahhhhh: ;-)

Seems I’ve totally confused several people who are trying to make some constructive suggestion for my dilemma. From best I can tell the word EXTERNAL was missed. I do not have room to mount the rad...

I have run into issues getting my stuff set up as originally planned with KestrelFlight v2.0 and Celtic Spirit. Though a larger case over all the old style of layout for CS doesn’t give me any extra...

Things haven’t changed much as I haven’t had time to touch any of the builds to try and finish (Oz1a) or start (CS and KFv2.0). Did have one thing come in for KestrelFlight though.

Last week I...

My first up close encounter with the MII was helping a lady and her daughter that were stranded on the side of the road. I appeared that the water pump housing had busted open....either that or the...

The Grabber!!!! ;-)

Actually saw a lime green and black one in great shape about a month ago.:grin:

While doing some prep work for laying out the rads on both Celtic Spirit (CS) and KestrelFlight (KF) made an interesting discovery.

While using mnpctech's free template...

:yes::bling:

I’ll be condensing the several threads related to this into this one. This will be the “official” worklog for the water cooled version of KestrelFlight aka v2.0 (was know as "No Name" for a while). ...

Comes under "The best laid plans of mice and men....." :hide:

If it wasn't for where Zalman had put the "front panel" items (up top) I would have used the EK brackets I linked. Locate the rad so the inlet/outlet is just beyound the back of the case. This will...

ygpm!! :yes:

http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/sigs/sigimage.php?un=mrcmark-stephanie&t=41608

I have been looking at something like this for that purpose, but it does not move the rad off the box that much…… Had thought of using 2 pair on a 420. ;-)
...

:wave: OK.....but they work and that is what counts!! Just one more question though, does one need that much space between the case and the rad??

Okay, so I'm old, deaf, and now blind!!! Have a pick that shows what y'all are talking about or "paint" a circle around the brackets being disucussed? :redface: :(

Nicely done, all neat and tidy! :thumleft:



Ahhhhh.........Red and Blue??? ;-)

Okay I'm confused........it looks like to me the exit vent on the PSU is pointed out not in?? :confused:

While inverting the PSU isn't aiding cooling you make have extended it's life! I've managed to "cook" two PSUs in a mATX build as it ended up being the primary exhaust for a very hot running GPU. ...

:thumleft:

Reason?? :?

Open window or super AC??

Guess fish tank is backup?? :dielaffin:

Nice job on both!!

This has got to be the best yet!! :bowdown:

Now I need to just get the other snit figured out!! ;-)

It takes turns with the cats for that!! ;-) Currently system is down with something freaky but just letting it sit until I get KestrelFlight (no name) running and debug Oz1a. :coffee:

Nothing really out there like y'alls but here is my first and so far only WC attempt......DreamCatcher in my sig. :)
...

That is what happens when you use so many different forums and recieve such excellent help, dividing up one's "folding power" gets complex! :oops: :-( :stuck:

It is hoped that as soon as all...

What be that??

Thanks BS1 for the suggestions.........oddly enough all the hardware is set up for SLI as that is what it was running before I used "something" software wise to stop as I was doing 2 x GPU folding...

Now on to the fan controller……..I’ve had a Zalman ZM-MFC1 floating around for years from a build that didn’t get finished. So with four fans in the case thought that would be a good thing to use. ...

Finally got around to working on the fan issue and a few other things a few weeks again, then life got in the way again. So here is where it stands right now.

Before I get on with the slicing and...

Did AMC ever do anything besides Penske/Donohue with the Matador?

While a Ford fan I did like the 70s El Camino SS (muscle truck? ;-) )

PM me your addy........would even throw in the fan for postage. :grin:

Original 'puter was built '01 - '02.........:dielaffin: :roll:

That is one of the original ThermalTake smart fans!

Not even a 92 as what you see is an 80! The two marked areas had at one time been considered for cutouts with mesh..........
...

Needless to say the -OP1 will not do the cfm that the thermaltake does and you combined that with a door fan.

The door fan is what I'm trying to avoid, so maybe the combo of floor fan and the...

We're back!!

Back on the cooling for Oz1a……the top 120mm will be a given, however I’m still torn on if I should do a window mounted fan or if I can get away with something in the bottom.

For a...

1. Any large fans mounted in the bottom would have to be removed to do anything with the motherboard. Then again guess that is much of an issue. Realistically though 2 x 120s will be too large as...

Well me butt has been handed me on a plater as I dumbed in a couple of 120mm in the bottom. While there is room I would not be able to access any of the plugs along the bottom of the mobo. :-( ...

Think I've missed that one!??!:sleep2::coffee:

For me the cutting and painting and changing is what got me into the hobby. Only had one case I didn't touch but it still had 2 blue 120s!
...

I appreciate your input Dragon and I'm not disputing you, just have to try and make what I have work. After all the fan mods if I still have the heat issue then one of the 250s will come out (or...

How about one of these in the bottom with a companion 120 or duplicate at top (if there's enough sheet metal! :whistler:)
...

The final resting place I envision for this unit will actually be some kind of table or display area off the floor but until then filter it'll have to be because of "my kids".........
...

PLEASE don't make the wife right!! :bawling: :dielaffin: :coocoo: :roll: :wink:

Okay you've given me a wake up call, but..............do you think combining a bottom fan(s) with a blow hole...

On getting a new chassis........won't happen as it is the wife's, she loves the air brushing, and the only way I may stay alive is to use it........or sal the innerds. :ahhhhh:

Will have to do another shot of the side panel in place as the one I marked up is of the original Skt A layout. What do you suggest I cut the plex with?? I do have a dermel but the disks seem to melt...

Back to the cooling issues!! :( Right now I'm running without the case side panel and the gpus still are running 60 - 74C with folding. Still wish I could figure out which 250 is GPU2 as that is the...

There are several things left to do before it is buttoned up and declared “done”. However until those parts arrive and painted I’ll be just piddling. Pretty much have given up on the overclocking...

Managed to get a few things done on the mechanicals while being flustered with the 750a's bios and overclocking.........



As I didn't do any pix when this thing was originally built thought...

Actuall I've gotten three window install under my belt and with "newer" tools it has become easier! :grin:

When I get a chance I do a wee bit more details as to how I butchered the sheet metal!...

Really can't answer that as the case was a "generic cheapie" that I picked up at a computer show back in '01 or '02. The window and the airbrushing was done '02 - '03 when I built it. :?

Original...

As that was the first window I ever did you wouldn't want to see what it looks like on the inside!:dielaffin:

Here are a few pix to show where we now stand wiring wise. Wanted to get it started up but seem to have a slight problem……the HDD seems to be DOA, all the fans spin, lights come on, but know vid or...

Now it was time to cut the clearance hole for the 120mm, as I don’t have a hole saw it was rough cut time with the dremel. Didn’t have to be all that neat (and it wasn’t) as the bezel hides the front...
