Well I'm a bit new to XS so you guys will probably have some tips for me on how to improve my cooling.
Here's a few pictures.

Argh Thermaltake! My friend, in all seriousness, I recommend you upgrade to air-cooling. Thermaltake make shoddy watercooling kits.
Scrap it entirely and start over.
Checkout my Friend's Watercooled Rig from the Phillipines (junkun13 also known as Bugkalot of XS)
He's the newest addition to the world's most beautiful computer systems: MDPC

Did a little upgrade to my chaos rig. Changed to pump to Laing DDC, reservoir to a tractor brake fluid tank and added the Black Ice 120mm radiator to front of case attached to Scythe Kama Bay..Yea, and GPU got AC Accelero S1 with 80mm cooler standing on screw legs under it (120mm coming soon..) :) Here's how it used to look like before:

Before tline and before I cleaned up the mess. Notice the stock intel cooling fan blowing right onto the northbridge. :D Also 120 mm case fan with blue LED's blowing right onto mah ramz.

Unfortunately I haven't finished it yet...
I always enjoy browsing this thread
@ MayDay84: a part from a tractor?! love it! And are those plain ol' copper plumbing elbows? :up:
Yea, I work in a tractor plant and yes they are the legendary plumb elbows:p: Did a little upgrade to my rig just now changing the rear rad before the cpu block in the loop and added some blue car engine coolant:

Just cursing here the block 'cos it sucks!! It's Zalman WB4-Gold..It doesn't move the heat well enough to water because my cpu (3.2GHz) is idle over 50c now and the water is about 30c degrees..The cpu HS is straightened so the contact should be fine..
That is a reatarded use of elbows, you use them where there is no use for them.
Pure flow killer.
Love the install of the fan below the GFX thoug :D
Aw, I wish someone told me that before I set up my tline. Thanks for the info though. If I ever take the loop appart again I will be sure to put it in that order. No idea why I put it that way though. I had nobody to help me so I just followed the instructions in the manual lolz.

Myth: The order of components has a significant impact on temps (eg, the radiator must be before the CPU).

So no need or reason to change everything. :)
Sweet. Makes me feel a lot better lol. Thanks for the links, too. :p:
