Hmmmm... nice rad setup :D
That top (for the block) looks like its partially aluminum...:( is it?

[SharkerSk]

Yeah Viscool uses aluminium cover only on V2 cpu waterblok .... ;)
But for the gpu & chipset "slim version" they are making cover from steel :rolleyes:
Cooper core :

sorry if I did not notice something..Thanks :D

Because I want to mount my watercooling stuff into TT armor case (only one loop like: pump, hdd bloks, cpu blok, gpu blok, radiators, reservoir -->pump) .... therefore I'm waiting for new pump&tygon tubing(mcp655 is much much better than e1048 ) :banana:

I am aiming at a silent wc and I am willing to use the 2x1048 ;)

[septim]

but 2 x 655s series would give you better results than 2 eheims...

and besides D5 is not actually a loud pump at all..far from it in fact.
