I just finished installing my set up, let me know what you all think. I know its better to run from my CPU to my GPU but it would have made things look messy and would have had to many bends and I figured that would hurt the flow. My CPU is sitting at 27C at idle and 34C under load so I guess its not hurting all that much. Any suggestions would be awesome so let me know what you think :up:

its actaully not, its Right behind all the drive bays. its verticle and I'm using the fans in a pushing pattern to cool the HD's and DVD players. Keeping nice temps

its only oc'd to 2.25, I've ordered a 6000+ which will be going in to complete what I call the upper mid level gaming computer. I placed the res their for 2 reasons one less bends in the system, and two I finally didn't have to drill any more holes because I felt I had drilled enough with the pump and the rad :shakes: . So far been running for over a day and no signs of leaks.

can't wait to get my fan controller, UV lights and UV dyes to complete this system.

and I just cranked the AC to see what numbers I can get when its not hot in my room :yepp:

This is a great way to cool the PC and was fun to do the install... why do I have a feeling I just found another thing that my money will be sucked into :up:
