new watercooling setup

4 Attachment(s)

Ive refitted my watercooling to my PC at last.

Ive decided to go for something a little neater than I had previously so ive put the watercooling kit into a Lianli PC50 case that bolted under my PC60.

As I have a old waterblock I had to make a new mount.
In the end I modded the stock heatsink cage from my motherboard as a holddown for 754.
This has worked pretty good, and should work for other waterblocks as well as my Atlantis.

The rad is in the back of the PC60, which ive modded with a new backplate. The rad is held on a 1" shroud, with two 120mm fans pulling air through the rad. I do have the option of push and pull fans, but I dont think ill need it.

The pump is an Eheim1250, mounted in the modded hard drive cage. The pump is suspended on string to stop vibration. With this mounting you cant hear the pump running at all.
The pump is powered by the 240v outlet on the back of the case and is turned on via a relay with the PC.

The res is a dangerden dual bayres. Looks nice in the case and works very well to bleed out the air.

I was planning on running a chipset waterblock as well, but there is no space to fit one under the GPU block.. so ive just added a 40mm fan instead.

Ive managed to get a better core clock on the 9800, up to 480. This card has done 500 before with vmod.
The CPU did clock upto 2650mhz but I cant get my ram that high 1:1 so its faster at 2550. Im trying to work on higher ram speeds at the moment.

3dmark score is up to 26414, which isnt bad for 9800pro and 754, but I want to get up to 27k and onto page 1. Should be possible with some more work.
