Although I partially agree with you, the fact that this is the "Water Cooled Case Gallery", everything is suppose to look immaculate. It also doesn't cost any money to shove cables out of sight.Quote:

ha poor guy , i think it looks alright
No need to flame because his system doesnt meet your standards.
But on that note, being a gallery, people like to look at systems where alot of effort has
been applied, but a little cable management wouldn't go a stray InsaneOne.
Your temps are good though.

In before, "Laff it's a kit!"
It looks alright though. I like your case.
I bought this kit because i used it in a customers computer and it works great.
It installs easy... fits outside the case perfect and looks cool :)
Im only keeping this setup for a little bit anyways... im selling it on ebay or in my computer shop soon :) I just like building them and selling them lol. I think im leaving AMD for the first time EVER... ive never built an intel but im not getting any satisfaction from AMD and they will slowly burn in hell if things dont get better :)
im at 2.8 and its only 35c
not too bad :)
at 4GHz sure is I'd sayQuote:

Regarding the earlier posts, this thread does not need negative feedback but rather constructive feedback. If you don't think it doesn't look that great, why not give some tips. It doesn't hurt putting out suggestions.
At 50C on load, the temps are not at its best but at least it isn't that bad.
50C is more or less what I get on my Pentium D 930 at 4.2GHz :shrug:Quote:

Cloudy tubing is cloudy. Also, love the levitating pump - am I right in thinking it's being held up by the tubing?

Modzona... I really like what youve done with your SATA power cables between hard drives :up:
Care to teach us a bit about that :yepp:
Those are 90 degree sata cables. Dont' really know what they are specifically call but the SATA port on one end of the cable is perpendicular. I believe he just had them run down and then ziptied them so it won't get messy. that way the sata cables will stay together.
:shrug:
Nice setup though and I really like that keyboard :D. Old school.
I believe he's asking about the power cables, not the data cables.
There's a brief guide on how to do this on the Xtreme mods forum here. How easy this is to do depends largely on the SATA connectors used by your PSU. If they're easy to remove, it's simple:up:.
You just take some of this and some wire, And there you go:)Quote:

You'd better use something stronger to keep that tubing on there...
You got almost the same stuff lying there as what I go in my postbox two days ago haha. I already have my CPU/GPU blocks lying at home, ordered my NB block from EK today together with some Tygon tubing which hopefully arrives next week.Quote:

Same thing for the chipset block. Its a Maze4 NF4 so originally it doesn't fit P35/X38 chipsets, so i made a custom mount for it also.
The EK waterbloks came with ugly black bolts which I replaced with nice chrome ones. The chrome ones look way better with the chrome fittings imho.

I also replaced the ugly black bolts but with polished stainless steel caps and had the alloy heatsink copper plated to match the rest. Polished the block as well.Quote:

It's like putting lubricant on a table surface, it makes it slippery and you have no grip at all, same goes with thermal heat transfers, it's a layer between the copper and coolant/copper and CPU/GPU.
Just a heads up. :up:
BTW, @Canine, :shocked: HOLY COW!!! That looks simply amazing dude. :up:
Excellent job there. :clap:
Only polished the part that the coolant dosent touch, so no loss of performance which is outstanding ;)
[IMG]http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t...ldrive/gpu.jpg[/IMG]
The rougher the surface the more surface area the coolant has to contact and also more turbulance is created which is also a good thing.
nice canine got a worklog?
Thanks. I have that but it won't fit inside an EK Res 100. :(Quote:

@canine: More Pics with light please. Not only in the dark. :) I like that orange/blue.
For better pics, you can reduce Iso to lowest possible setting (50, 100) and therefore you
give longer exposure time. ;)

think i gonna make an external black enclosure for the radiator, doesn't look that nice on a black cube, but holds the both gx2 cards quite cool.
already bought 18 scythe kaze 3000 for a push'n'pull config, some fan controller, but atm i dont know if it will be a wooden or plexi enclosure.
holy moly
sargantas... that is beastly... nice box...

sargatanas, isn't that a $800 case???? Beautiful!

the tower itself was about ~300€ +additional accessories or what do u exactly mean?Quote:

xpatar how the block performs ? if you compare it with the D-tek Fusion ?
i need a new block and i can't decide witch on of those two :(
Well I can't tell about the D-tek Fusion cause I haven't tested it.Quote:

Remember, I got a C2DQ 6600 G0 revision running @ 3.2GHz, 1.3v.
Of course you may have better temps with your rig with better cooling as each rig is unique.
Anyway I would recommend it to you as an excellent cpu waterblock.
Note: I had to remove the passive cooler of my asus maximus formula cause it wouldn't fit at first. It's an apogee GT waterblock so go for an Agogee GTX,
same base plate, better compatibility with new motherboards, excellent performance.:up:
The Apogee GT with bowed base will give you equal or perhaps slightly better than the D-Tek FuZion Rev. 1, however the Apogee is a more restrictive block. The D-Tek FuZion Rev. 2 will give you better temps than the Apogee GT at a lower impedance.Quote:

D-Tek had 439l/h without Nozzles and ~350l/h with Quad-split-nozzle. (Loops same always with CPU-Block, a DDC+, Rad, Flowmeter and Tempsensors) Delta was ~29°C with Nozzle in FuZion and 33°C without Nozzle. Apogee GTX had ~35°C bowed and ~38,5°C unbowed.
But that all depends on the quality of the block you get. And I tell you: buy 10 Apogees and you will get 8 different results ^^
@Sargatanas: Greetz from NRW ;)
xpatar are you using standoffs to hold that SB cooler in place?
Yes I'm using standoffs to secure in place the southbridge cooler, it'sQuote:

What heatsinks are those around the CPU area? (mosfet)
Black and silver, nice theme you've setup there! Looks sexy! :D
Which pump will be pushing that Supreme?
They look like the stock ones from any 780i/790i board. I could be wrong.Quote:
