Thanks for all the advice

You should look into getting chipset blocks like the
MCW30's or some
EK's, and maybe some
7/16" ID tubing.
You've got quality components in your rig, but you can cool it better with an air cooler compared to some of the watercooling gear you've got in there now.
I donīt think any air setup will handle a B3 at 3.4Ghz better i feel the problem might be my rad.
I think your doing a great job improving on this build, some here might not like some of the things you've got.
But what really matters is if YOU like it and that it WORKS. :up:
Thanks pal :up:
Shocker, I like but...I think you need to remove those restrictive Alphacool blocks. I think that's your biggest problem now, that and maybe 12/10 tubing next time, 8mm I.D. is still a bit small.
Maybe i will change them in future becos of looks, but they are doing their jobs well. My chipsets 9°c above room temp when my cpu is idle.

My core 0 is always 15°c above the room temp and core 1 and 3 are equally 11°c above the room temp too(idle). 100% load they can reach 56°c for the hottest core with room temp at 25°c. As for the fan grill i had to install them becos, i once got a cut on my finger from the exhaust fan. I use three silverstone FM 121 fans on my rad. I dont know if the rad can really handle the heat from all the hardware in my loop. Am thinking of adding a Swiftech MCR220 240mm Radiator to my loop, but i donīt know if it will help.:confused:
