| No worries about that. | Those of us watching this thread can't wait for the results. | Keep 'em coming. _____ Update, Day 2. Manuals. * It turns out to be a very good thing that a manual for the EVGA 680i motherboard is easily obtainable at the EVGA website. No manual is included in the box, just a 8" X 10" 'quick install' card. Perhaps a manual in PDF format is somewhere on the driver disk (though it is not mentioned.) * The EVGA nVidia 8800 GTS card comes with a nice slick manual; unfortunately is for AGP cards using Windows 98/ME/2000. Again, perhaps there is a PDF manual on the driver disk, though it is not mentioned. Power connections: * Motherboard power connector are multiplying. The EVGA 680i has eleven: 1 X 24 pin ATX connector 1 X 8 pin +12 VDC CPU power connector 1 X 4 pin CPU fan connector 1 X 3 pin chipset fan connector 6 X 3 pin fan connectors 1 X 4 pin Molex connector (PCI-E aux power?) * Motherboard rear I/O connectors are multiplying (18) * Motherboard on-board I/0 connectors are multiplying ( ~ 20) So far the layout looks good, though quite crowded. I can see right away that many after market coolers have no chance of fitting unless the main chipset cooler is replaced. But WHY did they decide to provide machine screws as small as 1.5 mm ( .06" ) to attach the chipset fan? One heavy sigh as you try to start the screws and they're gone with the wind. I think I'll do extensive measurements for clearances before beginning the assembly. And change the subject line to 'E4300 and 680i overclocking' to reflect the chipset change.

I'm looking forward to it. Perhaps others will join in. Hmmm .... let's see, the championship game is here in Atlanta tonight; I could get a ticket, buy a QX6800 and two 8800 GTX, or watch the game on TV while I start putting my new system together. (checks wallet) Guess I'll be watching TV and nibbling fan holes. My memory arrived a few minutes ago, so everything is in hand for the first air-cooled iteration. One thing I hadn't considered before. The 775 socket system is not designed for more than a few dozen insert/removal cycles. I am putting a label with check boxes on the system case to keep track. ***** Details about the EVGA 680i SLI 775 Motherboard At first sight my new EVGA 680i motherboard seems a solid reference design implementation. As best I can tell, EVGA, at present, makes two different 680i models, the 680i SLI 775 and the 680i SLI 775 LT. The 680i LT is less expensive and drops certain features like the third graphics PCI-E slot (X16 physically, X8 electrically.) The nomenclature is a bit confusing. The 680i SLI 775 model comes in EIGHT different packages; the motherboard is identical in each package (save for a small modification in the versions ending in '1') 122-CK-NF63-A1 122-CK-NF63-AR 122-CK-NF63-T1 122-CK-NF63-TR 122-CK-NF68-A1 122-CK-NF68-AR 122-CK-NF68-T1 122-CK-NF68-TR. The four with 63 in the middle are for sale as part of a promotional package with a Core 2 Duo CPU. The A on the end indicates a package with a lifetime warranty plus extra cables and brackets. The T on the end indicates a package with a 2 year warranty and fewer cables and brackets. The 1 on the end indicates a modified motherboard that fixes a limitation on the FSB speed when overclocking a quad core CPU (free replacement RMA for TR and AR.) The manual is the same for all eight packages. The motherboard in each package has the following connectors Rear I/O panel data 6 X USB 2 X RJ45 ( 2 X Gigabit LAN) 1 X PS2 keyboard 1 X PS2 mouse 1 X IEEE1394 (Firewire) 6 X stereo 1/8" phone jacks 1 X SPDIF Mainboard data 2 X PCI-E X16 SLI graphics slots 1 X PCI-E X8 (X16 physically) third graphics slot 2 X PCI-E X1 2 X PCI 1 X Floppy 1 X Parallel ATA 6 X Serial ATA (with Raid 0,1,0/1, 5) 4 X USB header 1 X RS232 header 1 X Front Panel Audio header 1 X IEEE 1394a header Mainboard fan 1 X 4-pin CPU fan 1 X 3-pin Chipset fan 1 X 3-pin VR fan 1 X 3-pin System fan 2 X 3-pin Chassis fan 1 X 3-pin Aux fan Miscellaneous 1 X 2-pin header silk screened 'Intruder' 1 X 2-pin header location, no header installed, silk screened 'TPM Select' / 0* Protect / 1 Access / 1 X 16-pin header location, no header installed, silk screened 'LPC Header', labeled in manual as 'Debug' Header, cable, bracket with 4 X USB Header, cable, bracket with 1 X IEEE1394 Header, cable, bracket with 1 X RS232. The 'T' motherboard package includes the following cable / connectors 1 X Floppy 1 X Parallel 80 conductor cable 2 X Serial ATA data cables 1 X 4-pin in-line Molex to Serial ATA power connector Y adapter 1 X SLI bridge (pc board) The 'A' motherboard package ADDS 2 X Serial ATA data cables 1 X header/cable/bracket w/ 4 USB sockets 1 X header/cable/bracket w/ 1 RS232 socket. I haven't followed boxing in a long time; I think my earliest detailed memory of a match is listening on the radio to the 1959 Ingmar Johannson/Floyd Patterson fight in Stockholm.

I check this group infrequently these days but always read your posts. :-) Having tried butter as a thermal grease, I guess I'm willing to try anything B^) Hehee! Yeah, I'm familiar with your TIM experiments. Diamond is extraordinarily conductive for heat (also, unfortunately, diamond is also very conductive electrically.) If I remember correctly, there are two axes for thermal conduction, the less conductive axis is about twice as conductive as copper and the more conductive axis is about seven times as conductive as copper.

Diamonds for machining have really dropped in price; at McMaster-Carr (which is NOT a low cost tool and material supply house), a one carat diamond, mounted for use in shaping surface grinder wheels, is less than $65 US. The fine stuff for lapping should be even cheaper, so five grams should have quite a bit of diamond powder. I'd guess that the major expense is separating the particles by size. The finest grade is likely TOO fine. But for $7 US, I'm willing to try it. Graphite didn't work out well for me, but maybe diamond will show promise. Then there's the possibility that the oil based carrier will be to thin. I've just looked at the Intel boxed retail E4300, and it comes with thermal compound already applied to the heatsink. Evidently these Core 2 Duos have MUCH flatter and smoother surfaces than past CPUs. The amount of compound is so small that not only will the coverage be translucent, it will be darn near invisible. I do plan to test the 'diamond grease' in a jig before I consider using it on a CPU. Wise move. I hope it pans out for you, fortune favours the brave they say. :-) The motherboard is so densely packed that anything short of chilling the entire case volume is going to be tricky, especially since there are FOUR heatsinks in addition to the CPU heatsink; two chipset heatsinks connected by a heat pipe and using a fan and two DC-DC voltage converter-regulator strip heatsinks without fans. And then there are the memory heatsink. All will need adequate airflow. Yeah, with the amount of heat being produced in a modern, 'power-spec' PC, you need the equivalent of a hurricane passing through your case. I agreed with Ed Medlin about the power requirements and picked up an Antec 550 Neo HE ( three 12 VDC rails, 18 Amps each) at a CompUSA going out of business sale. Nice! If this turns into a blog, just shoot me ... please. Hehee! I thought I was the only one who thinks blogs are for perverse extroverts. Please, keep us informed of your progress. It's good to hear from someone who knows what they're doing rather than dreamers or rich-kid guess-and-hope guys. g BTW, for some reason I LOL'ed when I read you say this in another post: "My memory arrived a few minutes ago...." Just struck me as funny. shrug Good luck with the build. Regards, -- Shaun. |
