it's worth a shot, might end up with an even better looking loop :woot:

Leak test in progress... so far 4 hours of continuous pumping and not a single drop. However I got a little scare situation where I felt the radiator barbs somehow wet... I played a little bit with the O rubber rings or seals and wallah it worked.. but somehow I don't like the feeling of those seals.. it's like if you tight then by hand a little too much they will move out of place....

And here some pictures of my rig during leak test.. :D
BTW the pump feels cool by the touch.. I was expecting somehow warm... also it was a little noisy at first then after all the air was out basically very little noise.. it's close to the sound of a single 80mm fan.. in fact my Laptop next to the box was louder ;)

Just a little Q, Apogee costs a lot less than Storm, but who is really best?
d'pends on what youre doing with it and what you want from your loop.

Well guys what's the point of making your own loop if you can't customize here and there? :p

Here I ran into this issue. I'm guessing many of us have been there... as you might know there are 2 RAM chips right in front of the barbs for the 7800GT VGU. Well.... with the Maze4 high profile that was not a choice...2 RAM's went down when I placed the tubing and even after I could not fit the bad boys so I had to grab McGiver's Swiss Army knife and do some moding of my own to get enough clearance between the chip and the tubing.

Here is how it looks:

All done guys..! ToDaY it's "D" day..! Well "W" Day...
I'm running an extra leak test with all the components mounted and today will do some Benchies.. I will post later tonight... I already recorded my temps when I was aircooled with an AC Freezer 7 Pro :D
I tried to sort the cables as much as I could but room was an issue... next time I'll get a bigger case.. even tough this case has a nice size
Pretty excited here... :toast: :banana: :toast:

That is a great ramsink mod. I bet it cools better now, as well.
woot! temps temps temps! im planning on my first wc project. i want to use a single 120mm rad. cant wait... :toast:
very nice setup, indeed! temps would be interesting. the modded ramsink looks a lot better now:D
Sad Sad News for me guys... :confused:
My PC won't start at all.... there was not a single water drop during the whole process. The PSU is working fine took all the components out and just left the mobo and PSU and CPU connected and nothing...
I have an Asus A8N-SLI Premium, when I power up the PSU I can see a green led going on but that's all I see... I have been reading and seems like it happens very often with the mobo. Weird thing is it was working fine until I started my WC project :(
I tried wiring the PSU and fans and pump go on... so the PSU is fine also readings are good.
Tried resetting the CMOS... took battery out and reset jumper deal and nothing... sounds like new mobo for me :(
To top my bad luck I had to leave for one week camping so I will be eating my brain the whole trip trying to figure out what to do next.
Is there a chance the CPU block is creating a short or something?
I'll keep posting... when I come back.. :eek:
Take a cpu fan (or other small fan with a three pin mount) and hook it up to your "CPU FAN" port on the motherboard and then try it.
have had the same problem months ago with my a8n-sli, the solution SiGfever posted worked fine in my case. go ahead and try
Thanks guys.... I tried that last night and today after Sigfever's tip I tried with another fan just in case and nothing no juice no life :(
Sounds like new mobo for me.... the weird thing is I have this feeling the mobo it's fine... back in that past I was able to get around by just resetting the CMOS taking the battery out and the reset jumper deal... man after so many days of dedication I can't see my baby run :(
How much and what thermal paste did you use? Is there a chance that some conductive paste squeezed out onto the socket?
I LOVE the colour...I'm really going to have to find that stuff form somewhere in Canada :/
I used for the CPU AS5, and applied just like I have done in the past.. a single BB size drop in the middle.. however it's one possibility I was also thinking you never know.. I will find out sooner or later as If I don't make this work I will have to remove the CPU anyway... :(Quote:

Sweet setup you got there xXxDieselxXx. It looks really good.
