I just orderd another PSU 400W corsair... then I slipped, accidently navigated to the watercooling section and must have somehow caught the swiftech QP triple rad buy button
so I thought to myself hmmm at least I have six spare fans and a choice of barbs spare... so ya know
So spawn. I`ll see your rads and raise you a PSU
Also found the seperate rads good for cleaning. Simply unscrew six fans from one side of the rads. unplug the power & stick the industrial wet dry vacum on thoes fins.
not so good as a wash but measurable temp drop.
I was getting artifacts on my gpus at modest clocks with both cards blazing.
so I plan to migrate my two D5`s and the fan controller to the seperate 400Watt PSU.
when the Physx is working hard the 5V rail drops now and then to 4.97v
I think loads of fans, seven drives, two GPU`s, two D5`s and some clown lights may be upsetting it very slightly.
I put the second D5 in the loop and now the machine wont boot up with the external drive plugged in and miss fired the GPU`s once with the 13 fans from the controller at full.
power crisis with a 1000 Watt on tap.
may turn up before the weeks out so i`ll follow up with a pic of the destruction.
then maybe one after its put right.
