let's ghetto something

caddi daddi · Oct 1, 2014

I'm so busy and tired it's over the top.
the little woman says she want's to stay in this little house of ours and that the big house is just to much to take care of, so I'm here, like it or not.
but that means I can do anything I want at the other house.....HHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.
she can't see what I'm doing at the other house from here, HHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.
I have an amd A6 6400k and a crappy motherboard there, (think REALY CRAPPY), I have the lark cooler kit, I have a 7970 with a waterblock on the way, I have the zalman resevator V1 there, I have two swiftech mrc 320 rads there, I have 2 hd7770 cards and an hd7850 there, I also have the azza hurrycan case that just needs a cpu and motherboard that i used to push the old 8350 to 5.5 with, ready to go, cooling system, psu and all there, ready to go!!!! I also have the coolermaser lanbox laying around.
I allready built the 5.0, 8 core, gtx760 sli htpc.
what should I ghetto up (just because I have the crap laying around and I am worked to friggen death!!!!!!!

Sounds like the 6400k and 7970 is the way to go.

I wouldn't inflict a 6400K on a 7970... Really going to bottleneck that poor GPU. But hey, if it's all you've got, it's all you've got! Go for it.

Have you ever thought of trying to bring your wife into your gaming hobby rather than hide it from her?

My last long term gf who I lived with used to complain about my extended computer use and gaming. My solution? Buy a bunch of games I thought she'd like. I got her hooked on The Simpsons and Mortal Kombat and she stopped complaining. :attn:

my little suga bee is very tired of my toys, she's 62 and I'm not going to try and change her, last time i tried that she quit making potato salad.
I guess it'll be a watercooled 6400k/7970 on air to start, it'll be slow going as I am migrating us to this other house in what little spare time i have now.

You need to migrate before cold weather like the birds do or get caught with snow in your feathers. Hehehe.

well, the 7970 got here.
as i was told the thing might be big, it is, and i'm good with that.
with the aircooler seems to weigh as much as my little htpc that it is going into and it seems that with the weight of the waterblock, when we get around to installing that, the card will weigh more than the rest of the rig. this will be my first watercooled gpu when we get to that.
I get a feeling looking at the girth of this card that heat will be an issue in the little case.
I also get a feeling that the poor little richland cpu is going to have to work a little just to feed this thing so I hope the little coolermaster seidon is up to that task.

LMAO!!! Not the Potato SALAD!!!! That's the funniest shett I've heard this week.

caddi daddi · Oct 7, 2014

I can give up most anything, but not tater salat nor everclear!!!!!

caddi daddi · Oct 10, 2014

so, here we have the little a6 cpu watercooled with the zalman resevator v1, an xspc raystorm block on the cpu along with an aircooled, asus hd 7970 directcuii top card.
here in heaven i seem to not be getting all that the card will give.
right now that's ok.
what's got my nose all out of shape right now is that over in the overclocktagon a dear friend of ours is also running a 2 core and just bashing my bits.
so without letting blaylock know anything, please help me spring a little suprise on him.

here's the screen shots.

go for it

Mandrake4565 · Oct 10, 2014

C/D are you disabling tessellation in catalyst control center?

Scout · Oct 10, 2014

7970 because its the best card AMD ever made.

The volt mod is incredibly simple for yours I found this after I sold it to you lol. http://lab501.ro/placi-video/asus-hd7970-dcii-top-studiu-de-overclocking/7

Johan45 · Oct 11, 2014

I don't know if you're going to catch you know who C_D. .30 pts is a lot with a dual core. Maybe if you can get that thing up in the mid 5.0 range but even then .....

manu2b · Oct 11, 2014

YOu actually gave me an idea:

I am going to bench the little A4 in sig with a couple of 280X's...

That can be funny!

Blaylock · Oct 11, 2014

Lol. I have no doubt you'll catch me C_D. My 6000+ does Ok too, but this Regor chip just likes to run. I can't wait to get it cold.

EDIT: I want to submit my 145 Sempy too, but I ran out of TIM. Noob mistake I guess. I have a big tube of Gelid GC Supreme en route so it shouldn't be long now.

caddi daddi · Oct 11, 2014

ok this is what i just posted in the overclocktapus, the little lump is getting a little to hot.
with this resevator i get 4 shots at this clock and voltage, haveing to add a little vcore each time, so a change of cooling to something a little more active and a little on the bizzar side is in order.
I once read about a " nuclear cooling tower" thing in these forums, I will be scouring the forums for info on this thing.

manu2b · Oct 11, 2014

Talking about evaporative cooling?

manu2b · Oct 11, 2014

Sorry for the bad quality.

The "bong", and the temps with 20°C ambient.
