Mounted a GPU block, what is your opinion on this?
I need a nother rad, thinking about a single BIP, need it to cool down the warm water from the cpu, gpu is not cold enough :/

Looking real good LenniZ ;) what pump are u using?
I think u should remove the 90 degree elbow fittings. They will make your waterflow more restrictive.
Btw. is the rad able to "breath", I mean have u cutted the bottom of your case?
those are some tiny tubes m8, 1/4?
yep those are 1/4 or 3/8 looks like he's using the TT bigwater
when i get my new case, and get evthing fiting on the inside of it, i'll post pics but untill then .... noone get's to see my wonderful set up xD
Yeah, its 1/4" tubing, and yes, its a Bigwater SE. And it cost a fraction of the price a custom setup would of cost me.
maybe, but custom would give much better temps ;)
My temperature today, was flickering from 27*C to 28*C and after half an hour of playing battlefield 2 the peak the temperature graph hit was 32*C. My friend spent £150 on his water cooling, and he gets 25*C on idle. Considering he spent 1.5 times more than me (I spent £60 on mine.) I don't see this as a good enough temperature difference.
(my CPU hits mid 50's on load when I had air cooling.)
sorry but the line + teh image = :rofl: (but everyone note NO 90 degree ANGLES :up: )Quote:

anyways guys, i need a big, roomy case so i can fit my W/C set up INSIDE instead of having the rad and pump laying on teh floor outside of my case, any suggestions?
200 USD are something like 200.00 USD = 169.514 EUR
oh, used to be like 2.3 euros ... or something per usd wait... no that was pounds
Ok. Here's my case at the moment:

heres mine
I modded a zalman "reserator". Alot of people have negative reviews about this passive watercooling. I got the kit for free, and the first day i removed the crappy stock pump and replaced it with an ehiem 1050 pump. My idle temps are 32c with load temps at 40c, with my x2 4200+ oc'ed from 2.2ghz to 2.65ghz. Actually a really good solution, since its completly quiet. Absolutely not worth the money, but considerign what i spent on it, its just as good as most active watercooling solutions.

Hi YanBooth, I did get your PM, but don't have many other pics, the one I have from my clear HD mod, and a shot of the rads, will get a few more over the weekend if you want them. All the cutting of the panels was done with a jigsaw and tidied up with a Dremel by me, no 'company' worked on it, and yes, that is the plain brushed ally case.
These are the only other photos I have, drop me a PM if you want any more.

Thanks a lot, very helpful and insightful.

PS- if you have the camera out... more pics would be cool... but not pressure mate.
wasn't sure where to stick this so if yr a mod and its in wrong section move it please
Here is another pc-70 to add to this gallery, personally i think mine is the best (reason : its mine lol ), phil did this for me in a one off colour well, put it this way he has never anodised a red and then had it polished to this standard, the colour is what you would refer to as blood red and really is stunning in the flesh (but doesn't that apply to any thing?)
Here is a pic took of it before he shipped it

^^ there she is all ready to be shipped
Please note these are really shoddy pics and dont do it any justice, i need to take some in natural day light rarther than using the flash of the camera.

Temps wise im sitting at 26 - 27°c idle to 40°c load, ambient is 20°c (load tested using S&M which loads cpu more than any other program) but adverage load using bf2 which loads cpu and gpu is 36°c which aint bad considering all fans are 7v and produce very little noise considering, id say about 25db if that!!! Which aint bad at all, temps to noise ratio is very good considering!!
W/cin parts are.....
Pa 120.3 + 3 7 volted panaflo m1's
Cathars G5
Danger Den's Chrome Maze 4
Danger Den Dual floppy bay res
7ft of 7/16th tubing
Hopefully at i26 ill get loads of attention....
If you need any more ill stick em up, but ill replace them ones with some better ones 2morrow taken in the day light .
The psu is a biatch to try and wire, in that case as its posistion its quite hard to hide wires.
There is still more work to do, i was hoping to get my uv dye today but no luck from coolercases (been waiting 3 days for it now - naff service if u ask me), iv still got some wire braiding to do as well as get the bulgin lit up although im mot sure which pins go where lol, also got to get some new ide cable and sata cables
