What are those radiators? I'm giving thought to a *very* similar set up, and I haven't found a 1x120mm that will fit up front without removing the lowest 5.25" cage...Quote:

Do they push a lot of air?
What's wrong with Noctua's? I'm loving mine - quiet as, and still manage a very respectable airflow on a really restrictive condenser rad.Quote:

That's not too bad at all, good work there. I'd consider trying to shorten up the tubing so the pump is closer to everything rather than sitting on the bottom like that - perhaps mount it above your HDD bays? Shorter distances will mean less impedance. I'd also go Pump -> Rad -> CPU rather than Pump -> CPU -> Rad, it'll give you slightly better temps.
well here is my1st post inthis section :)
Something i made up my self hope u guys like it :)

Oh you lucky bastard, that is one very, very sweet rig there. What's in the loop? Looks like dual PA120.3s, am I right?
that looks like dual triple 120mm BIX rads there, look at the fan spacing, they're touching each other, Thermochills have a little gap between each fan. Swiftech's fins are less dense so it must be a BIX in there
Cheers guys :)
Well its a dual loop set up.
1st setup - res-> pump-> rad-> cpu-> res.
2nd setup - res-> pump-> rad-> gpu-> sb-> nb-> res.
As for the rads there are Hardware Labs Black Ice GT Stealth 360
@customss i really like your external WC box, really nice work..:up: i would like to see more pics of it, you would not happen to have a work log or something in some other forum.
@stinka what additive do you have in your loop..lol looks little bit like blood.. anyways looks freaking awesome to me..
and both of you guys :welcome: to XS
+ 1 On the tubing:)Quote:

I really have to say that xtreme systems really has given me quite a bit of inspiration for this build. I have learned quite a bit from all of you. Thanks! :up:
Finished her last weekend after about 4 days of putting it together, most of that time spent making it look nice.
Specs are as follows:
evga 680i motherboard.
Intel e6600. oc'ed to 3.4
evga 768mb superclocked 8800gtx.
4gb g-skill memory.
3 500gb samsung spinrite sata 3.0 hd's.
2 250gb seagate barracuda sata 3.0 hd's.
silverstone st1000 psu,1000 watts.
thermaltake mozart tx case.
swiftech ultra water kit with stealth full cover vga block.
operating pretty good so far, 11713 on 3dmark. I have orthos but have yet to let it run for more than about 40 minutes. No errors so far. Highest temp I have seen on cpu so far was 55c. and that was running orthos and doing other things at same time. Highest on gpu is about 50c also. Both idle about 38c. Open to any suggestions. Will post pictures. hope they work.:)
this thread has been hoppin lately with lots of cool new pics
meatpod sweet rig, though i should mention i am biased toward the G70 'cause i have a black one modded with the pa120.3
Thanks Coolrmaster! Gotta love the space inside that huge G70!Quote:

Freaking awesome job there lowfat :D
Aye Lowfat that's a nice setup. Please tell me that my eyes aren't seeing zero clamps on the tubes though right?
your eyes are fine :p: CPU block has clamps, but that is it. Using 7/16 tubing and it is quite snug.Quote:
