Just Zerex hitting its stride. Bubbles went away after about an hour (T-lines, I've learned, are heck for bleeding), although, as you can clearly see, I was a bit impatient.

Hmmm, wonder about the thermal properties of milk...although bacteria growth may be a bit of an issue.

Meh, its easyer to just look @ teh pictures .___.

Guess I need some sleep.

well, teh pr0n is fairly fascinating...YOU, sleep?

Surely, sir, you jest.

9 hours a day if not more, I'll have you know.

In fact, I'll go do that now :P

No one sleeps anymore..

But that EK block is very sexy..where do you get one of those in the states?

EK ships to the U.S.

The price is very reasonable; the only caveat is that it takes a while to get here (9 days for me).

Trust me, in person, sexy does not even begin to describe Eddy's work. It's AAAAA+ stuff.

Nice work, warrior.

:toast:

not only will the bacteria pose a stinky problem but your pump may find it a bit hard to pump cottage cheese....

lol :)

Well if you don't mind flushing the system every coupple of hours due to chunks forming then it might be ok. :lol:

LOL, have you seen a PE 2400?

They weigh about 50 pounds and are almost as big as a foot locker.

Yes, but I still want to know how this remarkable contraption is able to add three hours to the day. I imagine that's quite useful (hint: re-read your sig)

Very nice work! :up:

from the pic i see that ur water flow goes like this
pump>cpu>vga>rad

i recommand changingit to be pump > rad > cpu > gpu

since ur pump produe 24watt of heat into the water and i am sure changing that will decrease ur cpu's load temp more

Correct! :)

warriorpoet, was your rad dirty inside when you got yours? Mine had all sorts of crude in it that I am currently cleaning out.

How would you suggest I do that? Perhaps a DDC Ultra would be a better alternative...although if I did that it'd be pump->rad->GPU->CPU, so I don't know the CPU would see any real benefit.

It looked like it, however, two days worth of vinegar plus six hours of 10/90 vinegar water pushed through with a MCP350 failed to dislodge any siginificant amount of gunk.

is that a rad box I see? How do you like it?

Better than I thought.

I was initially going to use a hollowed-out 120mm fan frame, but that didn't fit. The Radbox is a nice purpose-built alternative, although with a 120mm fan hole there is no adjustment (hence the heretical P180 cutting...).
