I'll have to get with Big_Daddy to see what I did wrong here, but here is a copy of the Vendor Chat with Aqua-Computer's very own Shoggy...:D
You must scroll down to the bottom and read up for it to make any sense..:2up:
================================================== ========
- Xilikon : lol, here's your new business outlet with the vodkastream line
================================================== ========
- just a noob : hmm you've been with your wife longer than i have been alive
================================================== ========
- Xilikon : congrats and have fun :)
================================================== ========
- Langer : hahaha, shoggy.
================================================== ========
- Langer : Congrats.
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : vodkastream ^^
================================================== ========
- Snyxxx : night all. Anniversary tonight and going to dinner, 17 years:D
================================================== ========
- Langer : haha
================================================== ========
- Langer : The worlds first eeePC controlled still cooling system I'd bet.
================================================== ========
- Langer : Only to play around...one of them is actually cooling my Vodka Still for the time being (until my cheapo aquarium pump arrives)
================================================== ========
- Snyxxx : I guess I will find out soon, just ordered two aquastreams from Gary. I will do a flow test ans post.
================================================== ========
- Snyxxx : @Langer, Have you used your aquasteam pumps yet?
================================================== ========
- just a noob : i love women
================================================== ========
- RedRaider : I vote Mountain Mod...:2up:
================================================== ========
- zlojack : Those SSDs look sweet, Langer. Definitely my next build will have SSDs in RAID0 for the OS
================================================== ========
- just a noob : arrr
================================================== ========
- zlojack : Evening ladies and gents
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : i need a swiftech gtx
================================================== ========
- Langer : buy it here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231243
================================================== ========
- Langer : googled a review: http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/storage/2009/01/20/g-skill-titan-256gb-ssd-review/1
================================================== ========
- Langer : only about $500 for 256gb
================================================== ========
- Langer : 256GB with DUAL jmincron controllers. Dual controllers eliminates stuttering and keeps costs very very low.
================================================== ========
- Langer : Check out the G.Skill Titan.
================================================== ========
- just a noob : i'm thinking a pair of intel ssd's onboard, then a pair of 1tb's in raid 1 on the card
================================================== ========
- Langer : enthusiast level mobo's (like the type I assume we all have here on RRR) these days have really decent RAID controllers oboard... FAR better than the days of old.
================================================== ========
- Langer : IMO unless you dole out enough to get a card wihth dedicated processing, and memory (and a BBU!!!) you'll be fine with onbard.
================================================== ========
- Langer : If you just want a couple 7.2k SATA disks in RAID then it'll probally do.
================================================== ========
- Langer : If you want 8 15k SCSI's in raid 0... then yeah 1xpci is no good.
================================================== ========
- Langer : noob: The link crazy joe sent you is more than ample. as for the RAID card... it depends on the drives, and the chosen card.
================================================== ========
- Langer : Thanks a lot for that link Shoggy, thats exactly the type of thing I was expecitg to have to write myself.
================================================== ========
- CrazyJoe : @ just a noob - If you're anywhere near a Harbor Freight ... here's a nice one on sale for $20.00 - http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=37772
================================================== ========
- just a noob : hey langer, do you think that me buying a raid controller for pcie x1 slot is even worth it?
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : we have no plans for a ramplex made of copper
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : You can use fade effects, but you will have to program it. A user in our forum wrote a nice tool which allows some nice effects without programming knowledge: http://yabis.net/muswi/MuswiSkriptGen-0.2.0.rar
================================================== ========
- Langer : @Shoggy - This may have been discussed already, I'm not though reading the transcript yet. Is there any plans to produce a copper Ram cooler?
================================================== ========
- just a noob : oh, i also found a couple of san aces kicking around on another forum, got those for 34 shipped :cat:
================================================== ========
- just a noob : lol i was thinking for voltmodding a graphics card
================================================== ========
- Langer : I actually use a cheapo 20$ radioshack unit for most of my work. Unless I'm doing intricate surface mount stuff where I demand 100 accuracy.
================================================== ========
- just a noob : hey langer, know of any decent multimeters(relativly cheap)
================================================== ========
- Langer : I havent actually plated with the multiswitch at all yet.
================================================== ========
- Langer : Can I hve the MS fade the lights?
================================================== ========
- Langer : noob: lol... actually I'm looking at a MM skeleton myself, I want to build a MM case.
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : LEDs do not draw much power
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : will be no real problem, LEDs
================================================== ========
- Langer : Without too much detail, is this easily done?
================================================== ========
- Langer : I want to have as many different strings of leds controlled with the multiswitch.
================================================== ========
- just a noob : damnit, i know this is going to end with me buying both...
================================================== ========
- Langer : Shoggy I wanted to ask you about using the multiswitch as to control several different LED lighting zones.
================================================== ========
- Langer : There is no alternative. =(
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : Yes, all fine here :)
================================================== ========
- Langer : Noob... Lili... or bust.
================================================== ========
- Langer : I trust all is well on your side of the world.
================================================== ========
- Langer : Hello there.
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : Hey Langer!
================================================== ========
- just a noob : hmm...wonder if i should get a mountain mods case, or if i should buy a li-li cube to mod
================================================== ========
- Xilikon : Be ashamed of a french frog correcting your spelling
================================================== ========
- Langer : I want a virgin opinion.
================================================== ========
- Langer : Thanks mate.
================================================== ========
- Langer : I've avoided every article, trailer, and ad (save for the first teaser they released a couple yrs back)
================================================== ========
- Xilikon : *further :p
================================================== ========
- Langer : *farther.
================================================== ========
- Langer : Please go no furhter.
================================================== ========
- just a noob : if you like blood and gore, you'll love the bloody mess perk, shotgun+shot the the chest=meat chunks :fight9:
================================================== ========
- Langer : I assumed as much... I very eager to play... but I promised myself not until Prometheus is complete.
================================================== ========
- just a noob : hey langer, did i ever tell you fallout 3 is awesome?
================================================== ========
- Xilikon : but looks great, nice questions and answers
================================================== ========
- Xilikon : I missed it as well
================================================== ========
- Xilikon : lol
================================================== ========
- Langer : *chance
================================================== ========
- Langer : I'm sorry to have missed a change to chat with Shoggy, how did that go?
================================================== ========
- Langer : haha.
================================================== ========
- Xilikon : Hi the king of copper :D
================================================== ========
- Langer : I return from my travels, I hope I havent missed anytihng too exciting.
================================================== ========
- Langer : Greetings folks.
================================================== ========
- RedRaider : Yep...
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : anyone near a microcenter or frys?
================================================== ========
- Kayin : not too shabby
================================================== ========
- razar : good deal if ya ask me :up:
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : that includes shipping
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : + $5 for dual port
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : + $5 for polish
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : $50 acrylic
================================================== ========
- razar : Thats awesome Fit, I can't wait until mine shows up.
================================================== ========
- Baleful : Fits, what's the full price again?
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : new ones are clearer than my last batch
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : http://img.techpowerup.org/090123/IMG_3929.jpg on the right
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : 31 tops left if you guys want them
================================================== ========
- Baleful : Hell, it's down right now for maint., been down for two weeks now lol
================================================== ========
- Baleful : My current rig, i've had it taken apart and shit scattered everywhere countless times trying to get loops to bleed/work
================================================== ========
- Baleful : Cut you may have to break the loop down and play with placement
================================================== ========
- Cutless009 : hey demthios
================================================== ========
- Cutless009 : any one of you could prolly make it work in like 30 seconds, but meh, Im too noobish
================================================== ========
- Demthios : Hey guys whats up...
================================================== ========
- Cutless009 : nah man, Ive all but given up ono getting that loop to bleed
================================================== ========
- Baleful : You having any luck yet with your setup?
================================================== ========
- Cutless009 : it goes man it goes
================================================== ========
- Baleful : Hello hello, how is everyone?
================================================== ========
- ibm390s : hi everybody
================================================== ========
- just a noob : its a fun game, i got a perk in the game called bloody mess, got a shotgun, and theres only meat chunks left
================================================== ========
- just a noob : rpg/fps, you level up, while blowing people's heads off
================================================== ========
- Cutless009 : what kinda game is it?
================================================== ========
- just a noob : fallout 3 is addicting
================================================== ========
- Cutless009 : coppppeeerrrrrr *orgasm*
================================================== ========
- Cutless009 : might have to order up some copper sheets to play with
================================================== ========
- Cutless009 : nice that looks like I could work with it and then take the protection off
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : 1/8" 7075 alu
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : http://img.techpowerup.org/090124/IMG_3944.jpg
================================================== ========
- Cutless009 : k
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : 1min
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : hmm i can show you
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : some metals have a film on them
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : they wrap it in plastic and ship pretty fast
================================================== ========
- Cutless009 : does that place put any kind of protection over their metal before they ship it? or does it come bare?
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : yup and yup
================================================== ========
- Kayin : good place, no?
================================================== ========
- Kayin : the right one looks so much better
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : i've got stuff from them before
================================================== ========
- Cutless009 : why does turning the system on and off risk frying something??
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : http://img.techpowerup.org/090124/IMG_3943.jpg
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : http://img.techpowerup.org/090124/IMG_3942.jpg
================================================== ========
- Kayin : k, what you think of that place?
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : i cant find a pic right now but i'll take one in a min
================================================== ========
- Kayin : Cheaper than most, order over 100 dollars get 10% off.
================================================== ========
- Kayin : How's that?
================================================== ========
- Kayin : 25 some odd bucks a foot, gets six blocks.
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : its really odd
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : i should show you my first one
================================================== ========
- Kayin : http://www.onlinemetals.com/merchant.cfm?pid=4288&step=4&showunits=inches&id=253&top_cat=87
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : although... these current ones are better
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : i did 2 prototypes then milled a production run
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : just costs alot
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : yup
================================================== ========
- Kayin : I'm prototyping, remember?
================================================== ========
- Kayin : well, I understand.
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : im looking to get enough copper to make a lot of blocks
================================================== ========
- Kayin : I've got almost enough to make a block blank.
================================================== ========
- Kayin : Petra's stuff is six bucks last order.
================================================== ========
- Kayin : 2x2x1/4" pieces form Petra's and onlinemetals.com are both good
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : we got a plastic vacuum form machine this week :D
================================================== ========
- Kayin : course, i'm using a silver alloy anyway.
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : may i ask where you find copper affordable?
================================================== ========
- Kayin : Well, silver is easier, and doesn't have to be vacuum cast.
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : then they machine off the excess
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : dtek does
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : i know a few companies cast their copper
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : idk off the top of my head
================================================== ========
- Kayin : MAPP will do that, right?
================================================== ========
- Kayin : I mean I can always try and melt all my silver here.
================================================== ========
- Kayin : The problem is not that, it's always been that either they claim they can and it's exorbitant, or they claim they can and then can't.
================================================== ========
- Kayin : I can find metals.
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : but it will cost you a bit like i said
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : if you could send me a peice i can get a one off made
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : can you find copper at a decent price?
================================================== ========
- Kayin : Inconel would work, hee hee.
================================================== ========
- Kayin : It won't conduct heat well enough.
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : too much of an alloy?
================================================== ========
- Kayin : versus 409.
================================================== ========
- smee : i can pay ya a little extra if you can do that in the delrin top :)
================================================== ========
- Kayin : 21.9Wm-k
================================================== ========
- smee : thanks fits just let me know
================================================== ========
- smee : cool cool
================================================== ========
- Kayin : nope.
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : it's all in the endmills + coolant
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : and the CNC cuts through it like butter
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : we machine TI all the time
================================================== ========
- Kayin : lemme get the numbers.
================================================== ========
- Kayin : It was a right bitch.
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : would titanium work? anyone ever tried it?
================================================== ========
- Kayin : I understand, I tried making my own blocks.
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : it has different sheer points than most other metals
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : copper is odd kayin
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : i'll see
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : not up to me
================================================== ========
- smee : you think u can do it?
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : (to smee
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : yes
================================================== ========
- Kayin : but isn't it "gummy" too?
================================================== ========
- smee : u get my email about "theblankbox" thing?
================================================== ========
- smee : yo fits
================================================== ========
- Kayin : I might could melt down enough for a single silver blank
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : im thinking a good HSS end mill will work though
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : copper is harder to mill
================================================== ========
- Kayin : Imagine how I feel about this at this point.
================================================== ========
- Kayin : Another said I can mill it, it's 120, then he ripped up 6 end mills and all the copper.
================================================== ========
- Kayin : One person said sure, i can CNC it, it's a grand.
================================================== ========
- Kayin : Can do.
================================================== ========
- Kayin : I went through hell over this with someone else.
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : you have to come up with material
================================================== ========
- Kayin : REALLY?
================================================== ========
- Kayin : uh oh
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : $40 for the base and $30 for the top
================================================== ========
- Kayin : basically all 1/16" endmill
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : but i know the price
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : thats really complicated
================================================== ========
- Kayin : the Phenom/i7 top is different
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : oh yeah
================================================== ========
- Kayin : It's interchangeable tops, that's the quad top
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : my mind is scrabled
================================================== ========
- Kayin : http://www.realredraider.com/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=13264&postcount=5
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : idk... been busy this week
================================================== ========
- Kayin : Have you not seen the pics?
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : i wnat the copper top or i'll make one
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : of course.. fuck alu
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : depends on what you have and the material
================================================== ========
- Kayin : A mod that forced flow across the entire grid would be awesome.
================================================== ========
- Kayin : Right.
================================================== ========
- Xilikon : ok, just toss the aluminium top
================================================== ========
- Kayin : Fits, how much is CNC time form your friend?
================================================== ========
- Kayin : Rebuilding a drive for a customer's prototype, and it's a bitch.
================================================== ========
- Kayin : I hate PATA pins.
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : the gtz doesnt cover the entire die of the i7
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : gtx is better than gtz for i7
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : and
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : gtx is better than gt
================================================== ========
- Kayin : not exactly, laminar flow excels on i7
================================================== ========
- Xilikon : It's basically a POS imho...
================================================== ========
- Xilikon : Care to share why you want that GTX ?
================================================== ========
- Kayin : If I had better, I wouldn't have an old RBX, now would I?
================================================== ========
- Kayin : but I couldn't find you a GTX anywhere.
================================================== ========
- Kayin : yup
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : i figured out that the 1366 mount for the gtz works on the apogee, gt, and gtx
================================================== ========
- Kayin : yeah, hell of a lot of time in that design.
================================================== ========
- Xilikon : oh cool, Kayin!
================================================== ========
- Xilikon : Cutless, in that case, your only option is drain, check if notihg is blocking and check if the top isn't screwed too tightly
================================================== ========
- Kayin : I found the .skp for that block design I posted
================================================== ========
- Kayin : Guess what I found, Xil
================================================== ========
- Cutless009 : yah I beat the shit out of it basically, didnt do me any good
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : anyone have an apogee gtx i can buy?
================================================== ========
- Xilikon : (btw, i'll bring that in your thread as well)
================================================== ========
- Xilikon : not some faggot slaps
================================================== ========
- Xilikon : ok... give it some vigorous bitchslaps on the pumps while it run to get bubbles off
================================================== ========
- Cutless009 : its like theres a huge bubble and the pump doesnt have enough head to push past it
================================================== ========
- Cutless009 : nah the cap is off
================================================== ========
- Xilikon : Something struck my mind... Are you bleeding with the cap on ? If yes, try without the cap to let air pressure work out
================================================== ========
- Xilikon : yeah...
================================================== ========
- Cutless009 : Im doin ok xil, Id be doin better if I could get that loop to bleed
================================================== ========
- Xilikon : How is things in the Aden sea, Sniper ?
================================================== ========
- Sniper : yaarrrr
================================================== ========
- Xilikon : How are you, Cut ?
================================================== ========
- Cutless009 : sup xil
================================================== ========
- Xilikon : Hi everyone
================================================== ========
- Kayin : Thanks again!
================================================== ========
- coolmiester : cheers shoggy for your time
================================================== ========
- Sniper : see ya Shoggy thx for stoppin by!
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : Well, thanks for your interest :) I have to leave now. Bye
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : btw mcoffey, I'm not quite sure but I think I had added a goodie to your order :D
================================================== ========
- Kayin : I'll be in contact about a block when I get my tax return
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : thanks for yourt time Shoggy, and answer my damn ermail.......:)
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : great..good indicator of how the business is holding up..hope it keeps coming for AC
================================================== ========
- Snyxxx : Thanks for your time Shoggy
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : We also have plans for a bigger machine hall
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : that's great to hear...I worry about all you guys out there making and selling this stuff
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : nice talking to you. i enjoyed the vids. :toast:
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : Not much effect, right now we have a lot of work :)
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : does AC see any changes coming in the future because of it????
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : Well, any super important questions left? I will leave in a few minutes
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : Shoggy...how's AC doing with the economy downturn..how much effect is it having on AC
================================================== ========
- coolmiester : to right, its a lot of €'s
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : but I will be there on Thursday
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : we do not have a booth - far too expensive
================================================== ========
- coolmiester : -presuming you're going that is
================================================== ========
- coolmiester : i'll look you up while i'm there;)
================================================== ========
- coolmiester : i got case mods on Coolermaster and Zotac stands
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : ahhhh :D
================================================== ========
- coolmiester : i'm there all week
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : which day?
================================================== ========
- coolmiester : lol fits....cheers
================================================== ========
- coolmiester : hey shoggy, i'm at CeBit:)
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : coolermiester does
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : I know, just asking
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : mcoffey, there are still some videos left :p http://aquacomputer.de/index.php/media.html?file=tl_files/aquacomputer/downloads/video/making_of__aquainlet.wmv
================================================== ========
- Kayin : Not exactly local for us, bro
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : Someone here visits CeBIT?
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : had to open it up
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : couldn't take it anymore
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : I sat there watching that thing tick tock one to many time
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : thing was 100 years old
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : caught a pretty good beating for that one...LMAO
================================================== ========
- Kayin : I was the same way
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : but it bcak together and it ran backwards
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : I took a grandfather clock apart when I was 8
================================================== ========
- theseeker : You have to see it to beleive it
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : I used to take everything apart in the house when I was a kid, used to get my ass beat for it once a week
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : hehe
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : just facinates me, has since I can remember as a kid
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : No joke, I can sit and watch stuff like that all day
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : very cool
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : that machine assembles those PCBs fast as fuck!
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : great video though showing how it's made and the final human touch at the end for final assemebly
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : programming too
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : yeah...that's what I thought
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : but the developing is completey our stuff :)
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : mcoffey, the boards are manufactured in an other company near ours. Such a machine would make no sense for us because that thing can do hundrests of boards per day - impossible to sell them in the same time :D
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : very nice though! :D
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : Firseries3, no only watercooling parts
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : im just wondering because you would have to sell a LOT of stuff to have machines like that.
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : you guys make the IC board in house too???
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : but nothing like motorcycle or car parts or anytihng non electronics related?
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : great video:up: :up:
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : sometimes we do some special blocks for companys which want to cool non-computer devices
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : my favorite part, when they roll the boards over the solder bath
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : ahhhh
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : do you guys make any non computer related stuff?
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : look at that thing go
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : Don't start to :cum: while watching :P
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : and banging my head to the music
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : watching now
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : We are near Göttingen
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : are close to your plant
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : making of aquaero
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : mcoffey, that video will be the right thing for you: http://aquacomputer.de/index.php/media.html?file=tl_files/aquacomputer/downloads/video/making_of_aquaeroX.wmv
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : where in Germany are you located Shoggym what bigger cities
================================================== ========
- Cutless009 : hardcore man I wish I had some of those toys
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : we have a big tank behing the bulding
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : amazing stuff
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : hehe, in summer I don't want to change with the guys in the hall. The laser generatrs much heat - we use liquid nitrogen to cool it
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : so I love seeing stuff like that
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : I'm a real sucker for "How It's Made" and "How did they do that" shows on the Discovery Channels
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : very cool Shoggy, and thanks for the link
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : that's wild as hell...what a machine
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : check that out
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : now that's how you make a block:D
================================================== ========
- Cutless009 : EAT BUNNIES
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : WOW
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : By the way, some people mentioned the developer, there is a video on our website with him :D http://aquacomputer.de/index.php/media.html?file=tl_files/aquacomputer/downloads/video/multitool.wmv
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : yeah....the best thing so far about both the Di and HD blocks, is how easy they are to mount
================================================== ========
- Kayin : BBIAB, shower, got a house call to make
================================================== ========
- Kayin : LOL at Shoggy
================================================== ========
- Kayin : That's what I'll do.
================================================== ========
- Kayin : Well, neither of those is smooth to me.
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : so if your looking for that mirror finish on the base, you'll need to work it some
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : I know that the maschine makes *bbbrrrrwwww* and that's it :D
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : they aren't as smooth as the EK or ST blocks
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : They have a milling swirl in them Kaylin, but very flat
================================================== ========
- Kayin : Ah, ok then
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : No idea since I'm not involved in the production details of the blocks
================================================== ========
- Kayin : I'm running a personal experiment
================================================== ========
- Kayin : Is the base lapped to the standard in the industry 800 grit, or more/less?
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : ???
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : what...of the block...no
================================================== ========
- Kayin : I wanna know how much work I have to put into it
================================================== ========
- Kayin : That's for Shoggy
================================================== ========
- Kayin : What's the base lapped to?
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : by the way, very sweet block Shoggy'
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : once I get some baseline set, I'll try lapping the IHS and see if that makes any difference with the HD
================================================== ========
- Kayin : ah, mine is lapped to 2500 grit
================================================== ========
- Baleful : Nice
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : so I'm using a stock non lapped G0
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : flat like all our blocks
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : flat Balefull, as a board
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : on the new MC bench...I'm started it up with the Cuplex HD :D
================================================== ========
- Kayin : Flat as a sheet of paper.
================================================== ========
- Baleful : Is the base of the cuplex flat or bowed?
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : large, small...as long as they keep trying it like they have been, it won't amount to anything IMO
================================================== ========
- Kayin : The essential problem is that it's an imperfect contact for a stock IHS, and more pressure does nothing but deform a board.
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : I saw all the BS going back and forth, adn I ain't buying ti either
================================================== ========
- Kayin : The step was too large, they then said, but I think it's a moot point.
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : yeah.....I;m with you Shoggy
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : well...Just set up teh mew MC bench, I was up til 7 this morning getting it up and running
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : I have seen one test over at XS where someone tested it with a cuplex xt and there was almost no better performance
================================================== ========
- Baleful : Same here Andy, I think stepped bases only benefit CPU's with skewed IHS's
================================================== ========
- Kayin : If you're actually going for top performance, you'll lap that chip, and then the flat bases shine.
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : but wonder what you guys have done, if anything on testing stepped bases
================================================== ========
- Kayin : That is an item of debateable use there...
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : personally, I think it's much to do about nothing
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : what about stepped bases Shoggy??? have you guys experimented with that ?
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : I even use our older blocks in my system because of the really simple look :D
================================================== ========
- Kayin : Well, as I said, I can still rig that myself, but I just wondered if it had been talked about.
================================================== ========
- Kayin : True.
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : ah....
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : Kayin, but not all blocks are closed
================================================== ========
- Kayin : bead blasting
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : what looks ugly
================================================== ========
- Kayin : And, the top completely covers that base, so there's nothing to look at.
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : ;)
================================================== ========
- Kayin : I love the frosted look, but that's me. We're all different.
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : OK buddy...I;m chomping at the bit...send me a invoice and we're set
================================================== ========
- Kayin : Well, there's nothing that stops me from blasting my own. Every bit of performance counts, you know...
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : and in my personal opinion: it looks ugly
================================================== ========
- Kayin : Hmm...
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : mcoffey, yes :)
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : Kayin, we think the small performance gain is not worth the additional manufacturing steps
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : cool....and the higher flow of the HD, with the new mid plate, correct?
================================================== ========
- Kayin : Is it the same guy in design?
================================================== ========
- Kayin : I must ask why, given it's a known performance increaser?
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : Kayin, we thougt about it but will not do it
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : Currently I am a lone fighter for sales and support :D
================================================== ========
- Kayin : Shoggy, have you guys thought about bead blasting your blocks for additional surface area?
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : send me a invoice for a new siver version of the Di, and I'll chear them up with a payment
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : sorry to hear
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : EVERY cuplex xt di is the nwer variant since the beginning of this year
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : might be possible, we have tons of e-mails at the moment and many people are ill :(
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : but I haven't seen anything else back from you yet
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : on the 21rst..
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : and I sent back a email saying. So it would be a solid silver base with the new pin array, and with the higher flow of the HD block, correct???? If so, please confirm that and send me a new invoice for payment and I'll submit the payment
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : yes you did Shoggy
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : I'm sure I replied including an answer about the delivery time for the silver variant
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : 3 weeks
================================================== ========
- Kayin : I can handle 3 weeks.
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : they're only made as ordered/needed
================================================== ========
- Kayin : ok... So what's that answer, bro?
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : you told me 3 weeks from the time of order
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : Kayin, the answer of mcoffey will be the time :D
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : I replied you need to send me a new invoice so I can order, right?
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : hi mcoffey, what was the time I told you for the silver base?
================================================== ========
- Kayin : That's really what will determine it for me.
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : hittin that shit brutha
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : Shoggy, can you please answer my about the block at AC
================================================== ========
- RedRaider : Sup Andy...:coke:
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : good morning
================================================== ========
- mcoffey : Hi Everyone
================================================== ========
- Kayin : awesome. Is it still the tremendously long lead time?
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : yes, every cuplex xt di has the newer base
================================================== ========
- Kayin : Will the Silver DI2 base have the same changes as the copper one?
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : which question?
================================================== ========
- Kayin : I'm pretty sure I'm ordering in silver, so I though I'd ask
================================================== ========
- RedRaider : Shoggy, can you give an ETA on Aquaero 5.0? New features of Aquaero 5.0 as well??
================================================== ========
- Kayin : I'm sure Shoggy is still here, did you get so see my question about DI2 bases?
================================================== ========
- RedRaider : This is a vendor chat not a bullshit session...:bat: :brokeknee:
================================================== ========
- RedRaider : Guys limit the spamming..:bat:
================================================== ========
- Kayin : Well, that was insane.
================================================== ========
- Cutless009 : ok off to be insane somewhere else! SHOOOOM!!!! *poof*
================================================== ========
- Cutless009 : I think I wet me britches AQRGH! MANLY BRITCHES
================================================== ========
- Cutless009 : *slashes at kayin* ARGH!
================================================== ========
- Cutless009 : ARGH, Im a PIRATE!!!!
================================================== ========
- Cutless009 : yayyy ty shoggy :)
================================================== ========
- Kayin : Thank you, Pirate Cutless.
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : I will tell our developer again on Monday. I think he knows that the current design will not work forever
================================================== ========
- Cutless009 : YAH SO THAR TAKE THAT
================================================== ========
- Cutless009 : maybe I was gonna say :or else Ill just have to love you anyways:
================================================== ========
- Cutless009 : D:
================================================== ========
- Kayin : No ultimatums. that's been discussed.
================================================== ========
- Cutless009 : ps: make sli friendly 285 FC blocks or else ;)
================================================== ========
- Cutless009 : lulsss thats almost as good
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : no, but we grilled sausages with welding equipment :D
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : lol
================================================== ========
- Cutless009 : did you all eat bananas like baboons wilst trying to bleed a loop, poking it with a stick and jumping up an down making ape noises?
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : I hope we will see the outakes soon. There went so much wrong while filming :D
================================================== ========
- Sniper : lol come on I love seeing things like that though dude!
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : omg *g*
================================================== ========
- Snyxxx : I also saw your "commercial" for it in a modmymachine video 3
================================================== ========
- Kayin : Too many setups are plagued by vibration noise
================================================== ========
- Snyxxx : I am working on a similar Shoggy sandwich right now, great idea.
================================================== ========
- Kayin : It's a good idea
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : btw: a magazine wrote an article about my decoupling idea which many people use for their pumps :D -> http://ac.shoggy.de/pcgh_extreme_shoggy_sandwich.jpg
================================================== ========
- Kayin : If I build any other WC rigs, though, this is what I'm getting.
================================================== ========
- Kayin : However, they're still too big for me to put anywhere...
================================================== ========
- Kayin : See, now this I could use.
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : Controlling via aquaero is quite boring, you will only get the basic functions. Connect it via USB and you will find yourself in wonderland ;)
================================================== ========
- Cutless009 : shoggy any chance of an SLI-Friendly 285 FC Block?
================================================== ========
- Snyxxx : ok, thanks Shoggy.
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : I mean two pumps via aquaero
================================================== ========
- Snyxxx : Let me re-phrase, how many can be controlled by an aquaero?
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : you can control only one pump via the aquaero but via USB there is no limit
================================================== ========
- Kayin : but you know I'm just funnin, Red.
================================================== ========
- Kayin : Some of us can get the same temps and still have a dollar in our wallet.
================================================== ========
- Snyxxx : wow, nice. How many pumps can be hooked to an aquaero?
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : http://www.sannig.de/caseneu/umzug/umzugc_40_t2.jpg - just crazy...
================================================== ========
- RedRaider : Some of us like pressure and flow, Kayin. Whether we need it or not
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : We asked him the same :D
================================================== ========
- Kayin : What would you need three inline for, and where would you put them?
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : http://www.sannig.de/caseneu/umzug/umzugc_35_t2.jpg
================================================== ========
- RedRaider : I took your advice Shoggy, thanks...:up:
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : snyxx, we have one customer in our forum who uses THREE pumps in line - I can search a picture
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : nice, the same filters I use
================================================== ========
- RedRaider : I got them from an online shop, they are LEE Gel Filters...
================================================== ========
- Snyxxx : Shoogy, have you ever seen two aquastream XT pumps run in series?
================================================== ========
- Kayin : I have a question, will the silver base be available for the DI2, and will it have the same changes as the copper one?
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : The aquaero 5.00 might solve that problem. It's likely that it will have a TFT display *g*
================================================== ========
- RedRaider : Now you've moved to the DarkSide of High Pressure and Flow.... It's about time Snyxxx
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : R3, local hobby shops might have color filters too. You can cut them down to your needs
================================================== ========
- Snyxxx : Red, where did you get the filters?
================================================== ========
- Snyxxx : Yes, I think I am moving more and more to AC stuff. I wonder how two in series performs.
================================================== ========
- RedRaider : Shoggy, I ordered 3 more shades of RED gel spotlight filters to try and get my VFD to light up RED..:)
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : In Germany it is a very popular pump. Mayn people choose it over the DDC pumps or recommend it to others in forums. I think the ability to control and monitor the pump is the thing that most people like
================================================== ========
- RedRaider : That fucking pump looks bitchin....:crack:
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : Hehe
================================================== ========
- RedRaider : No, but I'll be getting that yellow and black computerized motherfucker to test..:D
================================================== ========
- Snyxxx : RRR, did you ever buy an aquastream with all your other AC gear?
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : Currently we only of a conversion kit called twinconnect. You will have to change the stainless steel cover which alles to use a second connection terminal on the oter side of the block
================================================== ========
- Snyxxx : I am really curious how an aquastrean xt ultra compares with a D5 or DDC. I saw the graphs in the test, but I think I am going to buty one just because I am curious and there is almost no flow info out there.
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : is the bridge available?
================================================== ========
- RedRaider : With your Single Slot Design it would be successful..:2up:
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : im not too familiar with your products but i noticed that there seems to be some sort of GPU block bridge for certain blocks like the new gtx295 blocks
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : Hi
================================================== ========
- Snyxxx : Hi Shoggy.
================================================== ========
- Fitseries3 : hello
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : But I'm sure he knows that this will not work for the next months
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : Hehe, I could have bet that this question will be asked ;) Well, I know that the current blocks are not ideal for SLI/Crossfire. It's not easy to get our developer to do an new more friendly design
================================================== ========
- RedRaider : I'll start off by asking if we can request for Aqua-Computer to start making a line of SLI friendly GPU Full Cover Blocks...:D
================================================== ========
- RedRaider : Users will have to refresh before they see the chat box...
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : I was already wondering ;) Checked the clock and calender twice :D
================================================== ========
- RedRaider : Sorry for the delay Shoggy, I'm on the road at the moment, literally...:)
================================================== ========
- Shoggy : Hello?! :D
================================================== ========
- RedRaider : Chat open for Aqua-Computer Q and A
