Have you got your new block yet that Morphling1 was sending you?

How's it work'n vs the Spir@l you have?

Any pictures and other info a added plus.:D

[N8]

Got it now :)

Got it installed last night...I'll try to get the tubing installed & get it runnin tonight...then comes the testing vs the Spir@l :D

As you can see I need to redo my shrouds for mounting inside my case so they will have to be done again later ;)

[Tweaked!]

N8, that sure is looking sweet.:cool:

[Craig]

Tweaked said it right ! ! Man those blocks look great. What sort of pattern is that cut in the bottoms of the NB & GPU blocks?

And I really like those round SS barbs he's useing now. They reall looked perfect on the silver one, but are better than brass on the copper blocks as well.:cool:

Morhpling1 does great work, looks like art and fantastic function as well. Gotta love it!:thumbsup: :rocker: :slobber:

Look forward to seeing and hearing more about this set of blocks, most of all the CPU one vs your spir@l. Ya got a great set of blocks there man.:thumbsup:

I'd love a comparison with the white water because they have somewhat the same design
N8 what kind of cooling are you using for your case, i've the same one and i'm looking to have the best temp with my side door closed and without all the part lying on the side

[N8]

I will compare it to the Spir@l ASAP :)

This is how my case runs 24/7 folding...i don't put the sides on any of my PC's...I'd be taking them off too often, lol

You have no other fan than the one one the heatercore? What temp do you achieve with that setup. My temp goes easily over 40 if i put the heatercore inside my case (without any other fans) but if i put it next to the case i get 35° at load (my comp is always at load)

[N8]

I can't tell temps because the 8K3A diode reading is messed up with the Tbred's....but I can tell ya its running very cool. I will play more w/ OC soon.....max OC will tell me just how cool its runnin :D

[Craig]

Go man go!

[N8]

I think I finally got all the air out of the system :)

It has been folding @ 2.5GHz for some days now, but this morning was the first that I didn't notice a significant water level drop.

I've talked to morph some about it & I definitely need to get shrouds back on the radiator. The blocks are DEFINITELY doing their job in that I'm getting some nice OC on the CPU & GPU yet my water is rather warm.

I'll get the shroud deal worked out again & then I'll put the Spir@l up against the MK4 :)

[Craig]

Sounds great N8.

2550 is a real high O/C for naked fans @ room temp. Congrats ! Will be interesting to see how much O/C you gain and how much better the temps are in comparison with the Spir@l.

What fans and rad are you using?

[N8]

The rad is a 87 Chevy Chevette heatercore & the fans are 120MM ThermalTake 78CFM 34dBa's. They were the best performance:noise ratio 120MM's that I could find that were only 25MM tall & affordable :D

P.S. You can see them both in the pics up there ;)

[Craig]

The fact you aren't using some high output fans just makes your O/C look that much better. The shrouds should give ya a real boost.

I had looked at the pics but couldn't tell what the fans were, and long as I was asking figured I ask about the rad as well.

Thanks for the quick response, and good luck to ya.:toast:

[Craig]

Any words for us N8 on how the shrouds and testing are going?

Don't shrouds also lower noise somewhat along with improving cooling?

[N8]

I sure wish I had an update for ya but I've been busy with some other stuff. I don't think I'll have time to do the shrouds soon so I will have to do the block testing first. Stay tuned I will get it done asap.
