that seems like a very good temp since you have two graphic cards in the loop aswell what is the room temp?

Nice looking setup, one thing though. Fans are more efficient at pulling air through the radiator rather than pushing it though, so you should move the fans to the rear of it. Also, it looks like the line from the rad to your reservoir could me shortened up a bit, nice work though.
Can you please make a pic how you connect your monitors?
ps. I like your system specs and Dells :toast:
....call me crazy teecee....but you have your storm block in backwards, you are pumping water into the outlet.
sure is :)

TeeCee could you please make more pics.
Also a pic from your DVI-cable does it fit easy????

Very easy. Here are more picsQuote:

teece, it makes a big differnece which way you have the flow in the waterblock.. your flowrates also went up garunteed when you switched it around the other way.
but the reason you didnt see any temp difference is the same reason for many things.. the el borked sensors of the cpu/mobo..
bill, would you mind commenting on what style of fin the radiator you designed uses? also which of the designs in your testing showed the greatest heat transfer to airflow restriction ratio. though i should assume that both of my questions have the same answer ;)
Does anyone else chuckle a bit when they see fan grills on the other side of the rad from the fans? :)
hey it could save your rad from accidental fin dammage. radiator fins are very fragile.
Thanks for the rewiew teecee, 40 at load is good.
Might try one of the blocks with my vapo bong cooler.
MR
paper on Assessing Radiator Performance pretty much done, Gabe to release ???
all types of rads, most players
no benefit to discussing the specifics of rad design,
data upon which to base decisions is very expensive, more so than wbs
- for me rads are MUCH more difficult to design than wbs, probably a reflection of my limited experience in this area (and the greater complexity of analysis, lol)
ohwell. was hoping for some more insight into radiator design. more info the better i say.. just as long as I can make sense of it ;)
bill, I'll prolly post the whitepaper on the front page as it is pretty big news in the WC'ing community. Erick said the 12-T beat out the BIX, contrary to my findings. Im curious about more info on this.
I hope you included your test setup as I am very curious as to what all you're using.

Here is a nice review!
`why is nobody interestet in the best set ever?
Why are you saying that ? At least i am ... :D . I ordered mine a few days ago .....i`ve not tested yet .Quote:

could anyone tell me if you can swap out the rad for say a BIX3 and still be able to mount it from the rear of the case? Thanks!
dont see why nt, but then you may as well buy custom and buy the rear rad mount seperateQuote:

How heavy do those triple-rads get when they are full?Quote:

bix3 is rather heavy even without water, but it will mount to the case with absolutely no issues as far as strength of hte case is concerned.
Someone with an x2 buy one and be my guinea pig :)
