Project Overkill

well i made this before the site went down so i will post it again.

its basically done accept i am waiting on my D5 vario to get here to change out that nasty loud D4.



here is my rig up and running. i know its not purdy (well see all that rad is to me:D) but i'm after performance. i have ordered a D5 basic to replace that loud a** D4. petras is sold out so they upgraded me to the D5 Vario at no extra cost :)

anyway on to pics!

made part of my mosfet heat sink. took about an hour getting it clear from other parts on the pcb. plus the first one i made was wrong, i traced the wrong side of the paper onto the heatsink.

i'm done making heatsinks for the card and will start looking into volt mods for it , should be enough cooling :)

and the highest my cpu ever sees

Dang, so it IS overkill

well i got my D5 vario in and dropped the high pitched noise for some vibrations and about 1-2C(load) lower temps on the video card.

i think i will drain both loops and swap motors like i wanted to do originally so the cpu gets lower. i just didn't think that extra bit of flow would do anything.

I like the loopy tubing in the black light, but I think you could have made it a little cleaner, and still kept your "over kill" name :P
