I gave it a shot and now i can run the GPU at max with out the cyclone fans at max.
It is quiet.
parts included.
Rasa XSPC GPU
EK 2.2 pump
a hand full of 3/8" alphacool and Phobya fittings
Phobya 240 60mm Rad.
4 Yate loon cheap "o" fans on rad.
I used the Thermaltake V5 Case for the straight Nine 5/14 drive bays at the front to ensure a vertical Rad mount. Plus it has a nifty Handle on top and the top of the case screws off rather than rivets. There is no Res just a bleed hose off the pump.
If you like the photos i could supply Spec of OC with temps..
Rest of computer.
ASUS ROG Masximus Gene-Z68 + <2600K>
There is a OCZ 60 sata3 Vertex drive that is running win7 64 with a couple of the games. (disable hibernate you got lots of room..)
16gb of the G-skill sniper 1.5v ram in the dimms.
silverstone 750W 80%+
not much else
you can see the Noctura NH-C14 i have replaced the stock fans with a couple 140 phobya for simple aesthetics.
I have heard of others who brainstormed for hours/days to find a way to keep the Fans intact on the PCB of the MatrixP. You really cant leave the fans out of the picture, the double Vreg/safety really do need to be given a nice blow job with a dedicated fan to keep the PCB from spontaneously com busting (but its fine at the lowest stock setting of 20% with the GPU Water cooled).
What i did was uncoil a primochill hose coil spring , the ones for keeping your hoses from kinking..it was coated in plastic durable and malleable so i bound the fan cage to the Water block with it.. with a close look at the pics you can see it is very seamless and almost unnoticeable.
im not a camera man so i hope these photos do the rig justice . it is nice to look at in low light.
I am probably going to swap out the Noc and move it to a new project. I could replace it with this phobya CPU heatsink and finish it off with the phobya ram sinks; it might look neato. ROG
