The guys over at EKWB are holding their breath too, will he order another one? Just kidding, I really hope this one survives Some small and inexpensive things, like some sort of surgeon's knife I bought the other day, make me really happy. The price doesn't matter if you need something and use it a lot!

I'm holding my breath for the next comp...

That's a nice improvement, like adding an extra M40 for free

Welcome to EHW!

I feel sorry for that pump, that's a lot of restriction to overcome! But that PSU on the other hand, I know a way better system it should go in... Haha, don't worry. We all have things that make us "happy" I was using DesignSpark, not sure if that uses the same engine as Solidworks but it gets the job done. After using it for several hours I still don't feel comfortable using it, might have to do with my lack of experience with 3d drawing. It looks way bigger on the drawing than it actually is, the dimensions are 10x30x43.5cm (I updated the design to fit the longer PSU after posting the images).

And an other little update, I decided to draw the PSU box and the radiator mounting plate. (All that to make @ENTERPRISE happy ) I'll see if I can get this made from normal aluminium instead of diamond plate. I'm not sure if I'll like the diamond pattern.. And hopefully our 'metal' shop can cut this with a laser, would save me a lot of time! So first the radiator panel. I decided to mount the power button on the PSU box, so nobody can press it by accident. And here is the PSU box. It'll fit 2 PSU's, a hole on top and 2 holes in the back for the cables. I've used a common size for grommets, so I can just insert those and make it look clean. The open side will remain open, it's on the back anyways. That's the only way to install the PSU's after welding the box. I might have to extend the box a bit after looking at the size of the PSU I want (was not expecting it to be 225mm ) Between the PSU's is a hole for the power button I am using, which is in the previous post. I might weld the box myself, not much experience with aluminium but maybe a fun project to try it again.

Lots of good music guys, I've been listening to everything above this afternoon while doing some drawings.

That's a nice idea, I'm interested in what that backplate will look like once it's finished! And about that nun, I prefer the friendly looking types

I still have room for around 40 bottles, should be enough for a week or 2 The steel strapping is an option, but I have access to aluminium diamond plates. If I sandblast that to lose the shine it should look about the same as the profiles, and I can make a mounting plate for other hardware too like the little fan hub, the power button and the add2psu.

The progress on this build is a bit slow, because it has been running without any problem for some time. As I'm using the system I get an idea of what I need to change or improve. So first of all, I've lowered the lower level 4cm to create a bit more room. The extensions are long enough for every slot on the upper level, so why not? I am running out of profiles and hardware, though I ordered a lot more than I needed for the initial build. So I guess I'll have to order more.. As I'm slowly progressing with this build I realized that it's pretty heavy to lift the system (doh..), so a set of caster wheels might not be a bad idea. I've not been able to find the perfect PSU, so for now I'm still using the pair of 850w PSU's. I want to mount them in a tray below the lower level, hanging like this: For that I'll have to make a bracket that'll fit 2 PSU's side by side, with a few holes to secure them with screws. Something like a cable tray wouldn't be a bad idea either if I want to make it look somewhat decent. The AIO radiator will need a bracket too, it is hanging on one of the profiles right now. It's a perfect fit between the frame, almost like it was on purpose One of the last purchases was 3 extra CoolerMaster PCIe extension cables. There are currently 4 GPU's in the system, and with the Tesla M40 that'll soon be 5. Once I have a decent PSU and the GPU shortage is over I would like to change at least the 1650 super for something 30xx and maybe the 1660ti too. At least I have all the extensions I need for that, and they are all the same. And since I have enough extensions I upgraded the 1650 super to the penthouse which will improve the airflow over the motherboard and it'll look a bit more occupied on the upper level of the system. That's it for now. More idea's in my head, and a lot to do to make that happen.

I was happy my parents were at home when the 3090's came. I use their adres for every delivery, cause I'm 'never' at home during the day. It wouldn't be nice if something like that would end up in the wrong hands, or any delivery for that matter... I could use a few things on that list too, writing it down as we speak For my home use I have a parkside digital caliper, it was around €20 and is pretty accurate!

My 850M was finishing about 20 units a day, doubling it's PPD with just the max-packet-size = small flag.

I've heard @tictoc mention something about flashing a bios, he was talking to @Avacado about that. My card is down until I have the 980ti cooler.

Good to hear The Chrome Dark Mode will have to do, we'll survive.

That is one thing I have against using older cards, they are less efficient as newer cards so it's a bit of a waste of energy. That's what I like so much about the 2080ti and the 3090's, pretty high PPD to Watt ratio. The M40 is not really efficient either, 200W for 1 million PPD compared to 350-400W for 6+ million PPD Is that block all copper? If so you should be able to clean most of that, though I'm not sure about the state of the o-ring..

But you've never removed or installed that one, so it doesn't count.. Banned!

Maybe it's best to reinstall F@H at this point and try again, I've never had this issue before. I do have TeamViewer if we need to take a look.

max-packet-size = small? looking at the number of units...

Ha, you mean this one? Banned for having a small engine

Same, and it works pretty good too! Though there are some websites that I can't read because of this

Wow, that looks bad But pretty darn cool you have blocks for them, would be cool if it works!

Welcome to EHW @Compaddict

Banned for sharing that... ?

I can't find the 7970 or the 8990 in the Lar database, and no info so far on the web either. Maybe they work but you'll have to find it out..
