Hey Pete I like that splash anodized finish.

[smee]

Hey Pete I like that splash anodized finish.

+1, looks really spiffy! :yepp:

[skinnee]

Cut them off i do as i only use the 3 pin fan header

So you can chop the molex off and just use the 3 pin...TG! :up:

Cheers guys. You aint seen anything yet, rest of the case looks amazing. Just trying to get it all done is taking ages though, so manny mods to do.

Yeah, the 4 pin molex is there as an option if you don't have the 3 pin in your system. Also with the 3 pin you get to see what the rpm is

No clamps?

No need. 7/16" tubes with 1/2" fittings. It fits so perfect that I can't remove them easy.

[aspire.comptech]

I've run 7/16 and 1/2 barbs before and I would at the very least stick some clamps on your T? fitting as it does not have any barbs.

[DeathSpreadeR]

The T is home made with integrated thermosensor and its outer diameter is larger that fitings' ;) That's why I didn't put any clamps on it.

Very clean build, I would really like to see the front of it even if it isn't complete :). I was thinking of doing something close to what you are doing except with a different lian li case.

It makes me cry to see screws scape paint X-X. Such a little detail, but it was an eye sore in my case, and it always catches my eye.

[Jamestuk]

Those EK blocks with the blue acryllic look really nice on the HIS IceQ3 HD3870 (dark blue PCB)... until I put purple coolant through it. WHYY!!!

[Janno]

phillip684, beautiful job with the wires ;)
i love the overall black/copper look, too
i want mine to be just like that

btw, what are your temps? the loop looks very restrictive

Here's my first WC build. It still includes some old hardware but in May I will buy some new stuff (CPU, Mobo, RAM and vidcard). When the pictures were made the build was obviously not completely ready yet. But I think you can get some good impression. This week I will take some new pics of the final result.

I know of at least one maker that is in the prototyping stage...

[Papu]

cant wait :D

[emPUR3]

Whoa, just spent like 2 minutes just gazing upon those 9800GX2 cards. Is it safe to say that you would be saving A LOT of space if you removed those monster coolers and slapped on some blocks, haha.

Offtopic for a sec: How strong would your PSU have to be in order to power those cards?

[Waymon3X6]

I think the recommendation for 1 is 600watts...

Thanks! I will update my rig's pics once I install the Quad SLi Driver and put in the second 9800GX2 :)

I also know a company that is on prototype stage, and if they go into production they will send me one to test out :D

Yes, but it is full aluminum... :shakes:

True on the blocks :D And better for the Southbridge's cooling...
I guess the overclocked rig at 4Ghz and 9800GX2 SLi will have to make do with my Antec TruePower Quattro 850W. Although they don't need to worry about mechanical HDDs. :up:

Not really...since it's 2 pcb's with a cooler sandwiched in between, unless they find some way to have the cards be closer together, its gonna end up being a dual slot either way

if I ever got an 8800GX2 (which I wont) the first thing I'd do is remove that dumbass casing on it. lets see that slick black pcb!

Just finished leak-testing. Still a fair bit of cable management to go, but I'm done for this weekend...
I think I need to redo the GPUs because I can't get the side panel on because the fan hits the tubing and pinches it. Going to borrow a page from CD and do the cards in parallel with EK Stubbies.

my first time posting here. but been a lurker here for so long. lol! ;-)

my simple rig..not yet final. will add 2nd loop for the chipset and mosfet and will be cooled by a pa120.1

[knet370]

very clean. but why the flow killing elbows??

i had already rem0ved it. ;-) and its not yet final. i will be changing the top rad to a pa120.2 and the front rad to a pa120.1. right now im using hwlabs.(i got it from a friend for free :D)

[Pedalmonkey]

brilliant. nice job on the clean build, and the elbows werent really that bad, just nit picking. :p plz tell me thats not an aluminum topped GTX cpu block. watch out for corrosion. you should try and get a copper top or just get a D-tek Fuzion CPU block

[knet370]

yes sir,i am aware of that issue on the gtx block. i already have the copper top and will change it if i have spare time. right now im using a strong concentration of feser base anti-corrosion additive as a prevention.

thanks for a warning. ;-)

[Pedalmonkey]

perfect, just making sure you are aware. with the new top you dont have to run any anti corosive just so u know.

[csjsi]

Very clean build, I would really like to see the front of it even if it isn't complete :). I was thinking of doing something close to what you are doing except with a different lian li case.

It makes me cry to see screws scape paint X-X. Such a little detail, but it was an eye sore in my case, and it always catches my eye.

There you go phillip..hope this shows you enough.

nice very clean setup ;)

[Janno]

i love that pump cooler ;) very nifty

[csjsi]

i love that pump cooler ;) very nifty

Yeh I reckon it makes a big difference too, If i turn the low RPM fan off, it gets very warm to touch, but with the fan on it's cool as. The same can be said with the low RPM 120mm Yate loon fan on the ram, I have a OCZ ram cooler that made to much noise and didn't fit well at all, not to mention cooling was nothing to write home about. I reckon I might try and bling it up a bit and make a easy mount for it..........anyone interested.

[M4kko]

Nothing glamorous, just well working system. 360mm radiator for CPU alone is overkill but in near future I will put GPU and NB in the loop too.

Block: Ek-Waterblocks Supreme, Pump: DCC 12V, Pump top: Ek-waterblocks, Tubing: Masterkeel 7/16", Fittings: 1/2", Radiator: Magicool 360mm slim

:rolleyes:

[adya]

i had a look at threw most of these , theres some amazing setups there.
but one thing i dont get is , alot of these setups run the pump line into the cpu then rad etc then some others run the rad first into the cpu then res then pump etc.
which would work best? i was going to setup mine like this -rad>cpu>res>pump>rad .hmm not sure now.

[Jamestuk]

loop order shoudn't matter too much. There is only a few centigrade difference anywhere on it. Go for a setup which will give the least restrictive flow (ie. not using right angle barbs) and which looks neatest!

Shortest tubing run is generally > component order

[Pedalmonkey]

you wont really have any perfomance gain at all between 1 set up and another, the water temp kind of balances out.

I like the look of those copper corner tubes. I spose you could call them right angle bends, but they seem to do it with a nice even flow and not the harsh 90 right angle you get with the rest. They really seem to be the way to go. Where did you get them from?

[Boogerlad]

you can get them from home depot in the plumbing section. they are called copper elbows. you can also get copper tees which are copper tlines

[Swatrecon_]

I like the look of those copper corner tubes...Where did you get them from?

lol, you don't recognize simple plumbing when you see it do you?

I guess working at a hardware store helps, but still.

[MayDay84]

Yeah, they are ordinary solderable plumbing corners meant for 10 and 12mm copper pipes.. And that's true that they're good for the flow, it was my reason to use those..

wow those ybris waterblocks look beautiful. are they as good or better than dtek fusion blocks? damn wish i bought those instead. theys look pretty !!!

D-Tek and the Apogee GTX are usually the prefered block, and mostly said to be the best, specifically the D-Tek because it has no alu.

Yes Delta's FTW. They are EFB1212SHE's @ 141 CFM. They are all on a Sunbeam fan controller. They are in pull through a BIX 240 & 360. Didn't want to run any whimpy fans, wanted something with a some balls.
Don't think they are to loud, since I worked around Jet Engines for the past 24 years.

Running 2 loops: (Changed the pump tops a few days ago, no pic's yet)

The Fuzion has a 5.5 nozzle being pumped by a MCP355 w/petra's top on the BIX 240

MCP350 w/petra's top is pumping both MCW60's on the BIX 360

[NoobCake]

[Cptn Vortex]

[Janno]

that's a looooot of elbows... :P

love the case itself, tho

[Cptn Vortex]

Flow is still very, very good. Not a single drop in temps.

[Origin_Unknown]

holy elbows Cptn Vortex!

http://www.sixtiescity.com/SciFilm/Images/MTV077.jpg

[headala]

holy elbows Cptn Vortex!

http://www.sixtiescity.com/SciFilm/Images/MTV077.jpg

that is hilarious!

Seriously, the longer I'm in WC'ing the more I realize that every loop is different and tubing/pump speed/elbows/etc. affect them all differently. I think as long as you know how it performs with and without the elbows and are fine with the difference (which of course you are if temps don't change), then go for it.

[Cptn Vortex]

Agreed. Plus that pump is crazy powerfull. Like a garden hose on steroids

[Pedalmonkey]

you mean has crazy flow. its not a good pump for high restriction. however, an iWaki RD-30 is like a garden hose on crack.

[Carl_XII]

Hi all! Here are a few pictures of my computer. I hope you like them.

Nice job.... Love how you mounted the Res. just above the pump.

hate to bump an old pic but can someone tell me what fans these are? i've been trying to find them?

[sargatanas]

could be some nanoxia fans

[Fragger]

My first post ever and you lucky people are the first to see what I have been working on, I am new to water cooling but I dont like doing things by half so when I couldnt find a res I liked I decided to make my own. It cost an awful lot but the result speaks for it self:D

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t168/beveldrive/Res2.jpg

I started with a 3.6 kilo bronze pipe (bronze is 85% copper so no problem having it in a loop) and got a engineer to machine it smooth and cut threads into both ends. Then I got some 25mm blocks of perspex and got them spun round and threads cut into them - not easy to do with perspex - there is also a groove at the base of the thread for a o ring to seal the end caps. Brass 1/2 inch hose barbs are fitted.

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t168/beveldrive/Res.jpg

I spent around 10 hours sanding it smooth and a polisher gave it a final polish, its like a mirror now:D

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t168/beveldrive/Res3.jpg

I estimate it will hold around 2 litres of fluid, i cant test it yet as I am waiting on parts to complete my loop but hopefully it will work ok. Hope you like it.

[junkun13]

is that a koolance res?

[csjsi]

I'm guessing it will acts like a passive cooler as well as a reservoir:up:

[Origin_Unknown]

nice res btw :D

[peebee]

Definately Nanoxias! Available in 1250 and 2000 speed

[Aldy402]

@ fragger

its beautiful, very nice.. Looks like you polished the :banana::banana::banana::banana: out of that res..
great work

[Pedalmonkey]

hot res. reminds me a bit of the Cape reservoirs but not quite as aluminum, or as small.

[Systemcepe]

Carl: Nice setup! And hey Sweclockers ftw :P

[[XC] NetburstXE]

@Fragger - Amazing rez. Sooo shiny and so professional looking.

[LogAn'sRun]

damn that rez holds 2 liters??!!!!! You must have a big case. A realllllly big case.

[Origin_Unknown]

smee your dad is a talented man! i like the 'balls' that the res rests on..

[Fragger]

No it will be external (as will the pump and rad) - how could you hide something that looks that good? But it is a shame it will at the back of my case to keep the tubing run short.

Thanks for all the nice comments, except the koolance one - shudders lol

I have a few more custom bits to make for this build, yeah im hooked.

[Pisklink]

Here are some pics of my first WC build, I hope you all like it!!!! Still using some old hardware that can not be considered as Xtreme. :rolleyes: :D But in a few months I will buy some new hardware. If someone has some suggestions to improve my comp. don't hesitate to give some advise.

Theres plenty of things you could do like paint the inside of your case, colour your water, get colour fans, add lights, but most of all make it uneek:cool:

I also like to have it simple and I'm also not a supporter of all that colorful cases. No offense to anyone who does have such a case because I love to see people showing there cases and additionally like to see how people made their tweaks /mods and still managed to get it into their systemcases.

Painting the inside of the case is a good idea though. I might do that right before I put in the new hardware.

I have family in Putten.

LOL!!!! So are you partially dutch or are they from New-Sealand. My cousin has been in New-Sealand last christmas holiday because this girlfriend was overthere for school. He told and showed me on pics that it is such a beautiful country. I think Putten is about 75km away from me. It's more in the middle of the Netherlands while I'm in the south. I know these distances sound really ridiculous to you all. :rolleyes: :D

Nice man,

But why didnt you mount the radiator inside in the front bays?

To each their own, but I really hate radiators strapped to the back or the top of their case...been there, done that.

Thanks.
It seemed to me a little more comfortable the radiator outside the case. Maybe at one time put the radiator top of the case.

To each their own, but I really hate radiators strapped to the back or the top of their case...been there, done that.

It would run cooler outside and blow the hot air away from his system, not into it, seems logical to me to not have all that hot air in case. I shall be mounting mine outside for that very reason.

[MayDay84]

I wouldn't say it's hot.. i'm blowin the hot air case through the rad outside and my case temp is 30c and water about 35c.. In my plans is to move the rad to front bays attached to http://www.scythe-usa.com/product/acc/008/sckb1000_detail.html

The air is cooler outside so your water would run cooler, but each to there own.

@ K_O looks nice your wc system but are you gonna switch that UGLY white dvd-rom station?

[K_O]

right now i haw black Pioneer DVR 215. on the photos old pioneer dvr 212

[emoners]

@K_O: nice setup! i bet that's a very quiet built since all the fans are AC. :up: by the way, what's the difference between the Pioneer 212 & 215?

[Pisklink]

is that a PA? if so, very good choice on the radiator

Thanks man, it's indeed a PA120.2 mounted on a shroud and with the fans attached on the inside of the case in a push setup.

Yea but cant do much else with the length of scsi cables, this is not a sata setup. There is 10 drives in this case also of 2 controllers I'd like to see you do better.

I can do it better ;) ejejejej:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Realy dude, take a weeken and fix that mess......Its like a hell of cables :eek:

Nice config :up:

[[XC] NetburstXE]

That's a hell of a lot of cables. It makes my old server (don't have it anymore) look neat. I thought that my cable management was bad :shakes:. Why do you need that many HDDs?

[DeViTTo]

These are scsi cables not sata they only come in certain lengths and they cost £60 each. Obviously you dont know a lot about scsi systems. I'm wasting my time explaining to you why the cables are the way they are. It would different if it were Sata cable based but it isnt, I wouldnt swap sata for my scsi setups anyday.

I'm thinking if so - you could most probably hide majority of that behind the case and motherboard panels.

[DeViTTo]

I'm thinking if so - you could most probably hide majority of that behind the case and motherboard panels.

I have looked at that, but im not to worried its cool running and I dont look at the inners too much, i'm restricted by the cable lengths and the number of headers on each cable. if I were tobuy custom scsi cables the price would rocket im sure. For that reason i'll stay with itthe way it is untill I get a Lian ki 343 later.

[DarkPulcy]

wow those ybris waterblocks look beautiful. are they as good or better than dtek fusion blocks? damn wish i bought those instead. theys look pretty !!!

Maybe there are... Ops so sorry, I can't tell you... :p:
Someone wants to try??? :shocked: :eek: :cool:

I think somebody needs to learn how to take criticism my friend. "You don't know much about X related to computers" on a computer forum is probably not the best comment to make. ;)

Bet you get a decent boot-up time with that setup though, huh ? What difference does 15K HDDs make over 10K ?

No I do its just that cables have to cross as seen in pic with scsi as the controllers are mounted on the bus rather than with sata off to the side. I would like to get a larger case at some point. I have been looking at the Lian li 343.

Anyways back to your question. I wouldnt know its fast as I want it, apart from the pauses reading the controllers in boot each time. So I am not overly concerned about boot time. I just like the responsivness of scsi as opposed to sata.

I get sustained reads of 215mb a sec, but having hardware controllers and configuring them the way I have its extremly fast in loading and saving files.
The difference over the past 10000 rpm drives I have owned is quite a gap in performance. I get 4.6ms access times and hell of lot more speed. Especially over some of the IBM DYDS drives I had.

[taylormsj]

Just clean the rest of it up and take the critisism :)

[kolombo]

very common , but effective

[N3it1]

kolombo mate your fan is almost as dirty and covered with dust like mine...but only almost!

[TheJollyFellow]

@kolombo: a few squirts from a can of compressed air/air compressor on that radiator will improve your temps quite a bit, the fins look to be almost completely clogged :(

Where is your dad actually coming from then? Maybe I know this place or is it in proximity of my village. Have you ever been to the Netherlands?

Yes U know the place, its Putten. Was 7 when I was last in Holland, long time ago! Its just so expensive to travel from here or even buy pc gear here, have a look around this site and you will see what I mean.:down: http://www.computerlounge.co.nz/components/componentlist.asp?parttypeid=119&t=3

$138.94 for a Apogee gt anyone? :shocked:
I have just done a big order with performance pc's in the USA and saved hundreds even with the shipping included.

[Zeus]

Finally got mine finished. :)

Here's what it looked like before my rebuild:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v620/Z3us/computer/IMG_4517.jpg

I made holes in the mobotray, painted the interior black, added NB block (EK), 4.5mm nozzle, OCZ XTC cooler, digital watertemp meter and new Zeus 650w PSU.

Here's what it looks like now:

[[XC] NetburstXE]

@kolombo - My friend, you have a major dust problem. A can of compressed air or even a vacuum would work wonders.

[[XC] NetburstXE]

@Zeus - That looks really good. Inspiration for any potential future Armor owner.

[rehpyc]

Zeus, good look with the Armor. What are you using to mount your radiator in the front? I currently use zip ties but am looking for a more 'sturdy' mounting method.

Oh alright, your dad is or was living in Putten. I thought you would still have family around here. That pc gear is very expensive indeed!!!! I bought my Fuzion for less than half that price. If you place a big order its almost worth it to travel this way, buy your gear and still have money left. Kidding, I know its expensive because my cousin travelled last christmas to New-Zealand for two weeks with a very high priced ticket. Nonetheless he thought it was worth it cause the country must be very beautifull (nature, people and culture).

I'm having some problems trying to get 4.4ghz though. Even though i can get 4.3 stable at 1.36v

I'm hoping its just user error :shrug:

[The0men]

I'm having some problems trying to get 4.4ghz though. Even though i can get 4.3 stable at 1.36v

I have trouble with this board... Keep cooking the "R50" PWM's or whatever they are. Its annoying the crap out of me, have to keep voltages at a min to not get them cooking and thermal shutdown. I would rather an ASUS to be honest. I would have had one, but gigabyte seemed to have the right offerring, though I'm not satisfied.

So perhaps it's not your CPU. and 4.3 is stable because you use such low voltage.

I have the "R50" one, are they bad? i seem to be hitting a wall around 485+ fsb. Unless it is voltage.

nice one! :up:
i hope mine will look the same eventually

but tell me... were the pre-cut tubing holes really that useless, you had to drill new ones?
i really don't want to do that, as my drill is a biatch :(

[Waymon3X6]

Yes, you have to drill them. You cannot bend the tubing all the way around without kinking it...

[spoony]

Here is my first wc rig. I originally planned on two loops. I actually have everything for two loops but was unable to get it all in the case, so I opted for a single loop just to see how things go. I still have to add some lights and get my window for the cosmos, but this will be ok for now. My temps so far go from 30 to 41 degrees Celsius on my CPU, and stay around the same on the gpu's. I haven't ran anything like prime to test the temps out yet, maybe I will in the future, but I don't really have intention on overclocking.

[phillip684]

I love the look of those boards. That looks amazing spoony. You should replace the stock gold galaxy fan guard with a silver or painted black one. :). Well, maybe not usually fan guard mods make the general mod look bad, so maybe the gold should stay. Just a thought.:up:

[Zeus]

What radiator have you got in there Zeus? is it on the front?

It's a thermochill PA 120.2 with 4x Yate loon push-pull in the front of the case.
You can actually see the 2 illuminated Yate loons in the front in some of the pictures.

A 120.3 should have been better but it's not possible to fit it in unless i bin the optical drive. Not an option really.

I want everything inside the case so i have to make do with this.

Hey Thanks ! As Waymond said you'll dig into trouble if you intend to use the holes that came with the antec, you can turn the rad upside down but it's really simple to make that holes...

Thanks for the replies guys. I am glad you like it.

The radiator is just a swiftech mcr320 QP. I will post pictures of how it is mounted when I get home this afternoon. I really was worried about the EK supreme causing flow problems so I have two MCP355 pumps with XPC res tops in the loop. According the flow rate estimator I am getting about 1.4 gpm.

The case is just a coolermaster cosmos. I painted the inside flat black because I didn't like the metal look on the inside.

[disruptfam]

looks awesome spoony very sleek very clean just the way i like my pc's :)

I see you sleeved your 6pin and mobo power connectors must of been a pita ?

Looks great though One of my fav cosmos!

[spoony]

I like the outcome of the sleeving process, but about halfway through it I was beginning to doubt my efforts. It is very time consuming and hurts the fingers. I ended up just buying new connectors, pins, and a crimping tool to do the job.

[taylormsj]

yeh those pins are a bugger to get out, so i had to splice and re wire mine, the outcome in your build looks awesome tho

[spoony]

This is the best picture I have as to how I mounted the radiator. I just cut a piece out that would allow air to flow through the entire radiator and drilled holes to mount it. You can also see where I cut a spot in the bottom to house the pa120.2. My rookie building, modding, wc'ing showed up when I started to put the two loops in only to find out it wasn't going to work the way I wanted it to. I ended up having to fabricate a piece to cover up the hole I had cut in the bottom.

excellent work on the paint job looks flawless

[ThatGuy16]

sergio, very nice work there :up:


I took a few more, this is the best i could do without major case mods :p:

I was going to drill holes in the back of the case for the tubing, i went to two hardware stores and couldn't find the right size bits :down:

Thanks pal yours also and brave to make things order in that case, seems smaller than mine...
I also couldn' find the right things till a friend that works on electrical give me the gaskets that fit...

What temps you have ?

You have my same LCD :=)

Cheers and Thanks for you comments
Sergio

[andressergio]

Here is my first wc rig. I originally planned on two loops. I actually have everything for two loops but was unable to get it all in the case, so I opted for a single loop just to see how things go. I still have to add some lights and get my window for the cosmos, but this will be ok for now. My temps so far go from 30 to 41 degrees Celsius on my CPU, and stay around the same on the gpu's. I haven't ran anything like prime to test the temps out yet, maybe I will in the future, but I don't really have intention on overclocking.

Thanks, my temps are great. With this E8400, the core reading seem to be buggy. So i go by the "CPU" temp (Tcase?). At stock voltage and clocks, my temp goes up 1c on load. At 4ghz, it goes from 21c to 36c.

Oh yeah, i love my monitor :up:

What tubing is this? Also, pump and reservoir do you have? All I can say is that is amazing! I really like the black coolant!

[Waymon3X6]

I really like the black coolant!

It's black tubing...

Regarding the pics, I love the black on black! Looks real classy too.

[NoobCake]

eh?

its black coolant... cant you see the stuff in the res?

[[XC] NetburstXE]

I think it's clear tubing with black coolant. Look in the reservoir; you'll see that the coolant in it is black.

EDIT: Argh, NoobCake beat me to it.

[MINIz guy]

It isn't black tubing. When you look at his reservoir, the coolant inside is black.

Also, I think he's using a MCP350/355 with one of those XSPC reservoir tops.

[Waymon3X6]

Oh crap, didn't notice that lol. Well I know they (tygon) makes black tubing as well....

[spoony]

It's black feser one coolant with tygon tubing. There are two mcp355 pumps in the loop, both have the xspc res tops. I actually had the bitspower compression fittings for the thick walled 1/2 tubing to use, but they don't fit past the graphics card on the back of the gpu water block so I decided to use the high flow fittings I had. Before I refill the loop I will try and get some extensions so I can use those fittings.

[brianm602]

I was under the impression that was grounds for a ban on XS.;)

Nice looking build though.

[emoners]

:rofl:

[Pedalmonkey]

it is AFAIK. DDTUNG will ban you without an OC on your system. it is XTREME SYSTEMS after all.

[spoony]

HAHA!

You guys are going to force me to overclock my 9650 to 4Ghz. :yepp:

[disruptfam]

nemore pics snoony?

[emoners]

it is AFAIK. DDTUNG will ban you without an OC on your system. it is XTREME SYSTEMS after all.

good thing, i never keep my clocks at stock :D

[Astratuner]

hey spoony i wondered with what kinda prodcut u painted your case?

[spoony]

I really didn't take many pictures, but I will try and take some more and get them up.


I just used spray paint to paint the case. The paint and primer were rust-oleum and the clear coat was some other brand I got at lowes.

:ROTF: :ROTF:

DDTUNG, spoony needs to be banned! Anyways spoony, that looks really good.

[seamumc]

Spoony,

Great job on the system. What barbs did you get for the xspc top?

Thanks

[spoony]

I originally had bitspower compression fittings, but changed them to bitspower high flow fittings. The change wasn't because of any issues with xspc top though, so if you prefer those fittings they will work fine.

How does the paint hold?

Is it scratch resistant?

I've done mine as well but the paint is prone to flake off if handled too careless.

I think the primer is to blame, acid etchprimer would have been better i reckon but that doesn't come in spraycans as it is 2 components.

Nice job on your case btw. ;)

[spoony]

I noticed before I put the clear coat on it scratched very easy, but afterwards the paint held up way better.

[Pedalmonkey]

clear coat will solve most any flaking issues, as will a good self etching primer or a well prepped case with a normal prime.

[boomstick68]

And I thought there were new pictures added. Silly me.

SPOONY: Please check your PM, because your system is outstanding!

I myself say goodbye to watercooling for 2 months:

[Waymon3X6]

I myself say goodbye to watercooling for 2 months:

Why? That rig looks great!

[seamumc]

Why? That rig looks great!

Just a guess but probably because its a pain to maintain a WC system and air cooling products have narrowed the gap.

Extreme OC'ers now use LN regularly for the top benchmarks.

[Waymon3X6]

It aint that hard... Clean the loop once every few months... no big deal.

EDIT:

It's hard to get a Q6600 to 4ghz on air anyways.
