Pretty sure the mount is good. It's been on there for 2 weeks. It's not acting like that...just random, stupid for awhile and now it's fine again.

Must be getting close to Halloween

I think maybe it's the chips way of saying, "hey asshole I thought you were going to get some LN2 for me?"

I plan to buy a 30 liter or 2 to try it out very soon, or maybe just get the big one delivered as a birthday present for myself in a couple weeks.

Maybe this week I'll buy a SATA DVD burner, so I can get Tinyxp installed. I still need to get a few more of the benchmark programs, but I know where to find them.

UPDATE: I've added a more industrial pump, but it's a little too loud for constant use so I'll add a Y-valve and a 2nd return port to the chiller tomorrow and have 2 pumps I can use.

EDIT: this baby shoots the water right into the evaporator.

UPDATE: that pump was junk, I had to return it. It started leaking black stuff from the motor housing after only a couple days of very part time usage. Back to the harbor freight pond/fountain pump.

ell...I have been using the harbor Freight fountain pump for quite some time now with no problems. Without the gpu loop running through the system the cpu runs ~-20 Celsius @ 4.5GHz/1.51v/C&Q enabled. And with the gpu loop chilled also, the cpu only runs ~5 degrees warmer.

Working pretty well. I wish I had time to get some LN2 to pour in my F1EE.

EDIT: Maybe I'll get a week off over Christmas/new years.......I'm ready for one now and it has nothing to do with playing on the computer. I'm fucking killing myself out here trying to make up for the guy working with me/for me and drivng me to work.

I left the pump on all week by mistake with ambient antifreeze going through it. It still works, but I think I need to clean out the waterblock today and/or replace thermal paste.

Hey guys I got my 1090T installed last night.

I had to re-pour the Dragon Skin, because the 965 would not come out without removing the 1/4" thick rubber. The outside 2 rows of pins have rubber all over them. But that skin works like a champ. I had antifreeze leaking all over the cpu socket while I was at work this week. I forgot to tighten the hose clamps enough post-maintenance last weekend......but my bench sits at a slight angle for this reason exactly and it just ran right off on the table underneath. Didn't get into the DIMMS at all or anything

I actually came up with the tilted bench idea myself

Dragon Skin is awesome stuff. Here is a picture of last nights pouring...

as you can see my bench is tilted and I forgot to un-tilt it before pouring......lol

That dragonskin looks like awesome stuff 4 sure. May have to break down and pick some up...

I think it was like $40 and I have poured 3 or 4 already and have enough left for another 2 I'd say. I've wasted some(leftovers) and have been pouring pretty thick, but it's hard to mix up a small enough amount......and the 2 ingredients are of different consistency, so it's tough to get an equal mix. I suggest a short flexible mixing bowl.

I think pouring it thick makes it harder to get off because it gets molded around and under everything, but I feel confident that my cpu socket is all sealed in...even better than the last time.

.............although how does perfectly sealed get any better?
