Have done so for testing but with no luck. It seems the problem is with the motherboard itself.

It seems the Intel board keeps corrupting my CF card. That's a disappointment. I guess it will just have to be a red motherboard then, until I find a fix. 😒

IIRC the coolant in a custom loop wont boil at 100C in any case, pretty sure modern coolants have a much higher boiling point than plain distilled water. Marginally at best. The additives are for reducing corrosion and growth, not to do with temperature. The main mistake i think is made here, is …

If a V5, or any other components for that matter, is ever close to boiling the water and creating a "vapor lock" its long gone. This is not a condition relevant to computer cooling and I have no interest in debating hypothetical bro-science. Thank you.

Parallel flow is no problem at all and even used to be the most common way of connecting SLI setups. The water is flowing under pressure and will always slow down/lower pressure if possible. Meaning, that if there are multiple paths of equal flow resistance the water flow (and pressure) will be …

Not as such, but I have enough blocks laying around that I could surely find something that can be adapted to fit Slot1 with a bit of work. The block pictured for the s462 system is actually a s775 block, originally.

Fittings and sinks have arrived! 20231219_124827.jpg I did a quick mockup just to see how it will turn out. I'm not sure I'm sold on how the red motherboard goes with the V5500, visually. It worked out better in my head. The case fan, however, is a Yate-Loon with quite strong blue LED lighting that …

The V5500 has had a full recap and is since then outputting excellent video. Pre recap it did have some artifacting in the form of jittery horizontal lines and generally looked quite soft and blurred. That is now all fixed and it's crisp and flawless! 20231128_235515.jpg 20231128_235526.jpg I just …

I always regretted not getting a Voodoo 4/5 back in the day. I went straight from a Voodoo 2 to a GeForce 256 Pro (DDR) that - while at the time positively beastly and all - left me locked out of some of my favourite Glide API games. Eventually Glide wrappers became a thing and I could forego the …
