Yes 66.93 - I have stabilty issues in some games with newer drivers. :(
Temps seem good to me - not sure on how accurate the sensors are with watercooling. Pointing a fan at the blocks knocked about 5C off the reported temps. Also my water temp is fairly high (~26C). May try increasing the clamping pressure a bit. and I'm planning to do some tweaking on my loop anyway.
Found the barbs here: http://store.over-clock.com/Adaptors___Connectors.html
Though I believe mcmaster in the US also does 45 degree barbs.
EDIT: yes they do: http://www.mcmaster.com/ctlg/DisplCt...MainWidth=1040
Rest of my setup is a eheim 1250 pump, generic heatercore with 172mm fan, MCW6002 block.
are you cooling anything else other than your gpu's? I'm also in the Uk and need to get some other stuff from over-clock anyway
Thanks for that link for those perfect 45 angled barbs! Expensive since i had to buy up 5 sets but snagged it in a heart beat! Anyone need a set PM me hehe.
Yes my CPU - hence the MCW6002. ;)Quote:

Lol, sorry I obviously wasn't paying attention to your post :brick:
H2OGun: Just noticed yours are idle temps - that 52C was a load temp, mine idle at 45C and 43C for the top and bottom cards respectively, so about the same as yours.
Thanks for the info and links m8. :toast:
Man, how many UK online shops with name is using the word overclock, overclockers, over-clock, etc. Quite confusing :D
I know, overclock and over-clock are particularly bad. :p
:) I'm glad i got some good water cooling on the way! I'm gona do seperate channels for each card. Using 2 Black Ice Extreme rads and 2 Danger Den DDC-12V pumps. I think i should be good! hehe.
For my new 3500+ on the way i'll be using a seperate channel with a Danger Den TDX, huge ThermoChill HE120.3 rad with 2 Danger Den DDC-12V pumps.
Thank god my Mountain mods UFO case has got the room for this un modded! :)
Cant wait.. should all be here in a few days and i should be in heaven my the weekend!
where can the fussion block be bought? i need to get at least one, 2 would be great. i bought 2 of the dd new maze but the dfi doesnt have to much space in between:(
This what my current SLI-H2o rig looks like.
Replacing for new M-board and a bunch of mem sticks to try&fry

looks nice, also the hardware you got in there is quite nice ;D
and buy a DFI nforce4 Sli if you want a new mainboard

combatCow: Nice system, but if you can get rid of those 90 degree turns on the gpu blocks it would be in your favor to do so. also you should note that if you do not have anti corrosion fluid in your system, you will be in serious trouble very quickly becuase of the radiator that you have.
MaxxxRacer, You gave me an advice before that reservoir should be the last one before the pump. What do you think of this combined reservoir and Laing DDC pump? Is this good enough?

Is that the top with the tiny fittings? (1/4" or so)
I wish someone would put out a reservoir top with 1/2 fittings.
Looks awesome H2OGun, Do you machine the parts yourself or have a them done at a shop? I have been doing all mine, its great fun.
Jon
h2o gun. its nice but the problem lies in the fittings and the fact that the redesign of the housing probably isnt optimal.. The DDC really performs well when you give the intel a 1/2inch fitting and bore it out. If those are 1/4fittings that will kill the flow even more than the stock fittings do.
But the idea is nice.. Having no lengh between the res and p ump inlet is best. Its not perfect for bleeding the system but it willl give you the most flow if you have a unrestircted fittings.
I wish I can do that myself. But no, that's from www.cool-cases.org and it's very expensive at ~40EURO.Quote:

But, thanx for the advice though.Quote:

lol... well that thing is quite a joke... but the basic idea is good. personally a nice setup made from polypropelene or copper would be bets. That aquacomputer one is nasty Al. You could make one from copper very easily if you have acces to a cnc. If anyone is really curious and has the proper dimmensions for all that I would need I can do a part in AutoCAD and you can give it to a machine ship to put through the CNC machine. The copper would be REALLY easy to machine and would act like a big heatsink. I would design it for either 1/2inch or 5/8 flow masters. And have the intake hole from the res to the pump be 5/8. It would give that pump ALOT more room to breathe. I bet I could get the PQ curve to top out at 2 to 2.3gpm.
Those Aqua Computer reservoirs were basically made to look cool; that is it. They aren't really functional. I know people who have modded them for 1/2" ID tubes, but it messed everything up. It's so small air keeps getting sucked into the loop.
Mine functions just fine thanks, theres no air in my loop.
