I have to say, I'm definately impressed with the temps.

original hardware
2x Swiftech MCR120 QP
all 3/8" tubing
stock nB cooling
5 1/4" bay reservoir
~10% SuperCool

original temps- 2x Prime95 (1 large, 1 small), 1x RTHDRIBL
case 41, cpu 45, vga 45
*26c ambient

replacement hardware
1x HWLabs Black Ice GTS360
3/8" and 7/16" tubing where appropriate
Thermalright HR-05 nB cooler
T-Line
~5% Zerex

new temps- 2x Prime95 (1 large, 1 small), 1x RTHDRIBL
case 33, cpu 37, vga 39
*28 ambient

Enjoy teh pr0n:

Whats that chipset block? Some thermalright unit of some kind?

HR-05

it helps to read the full post... ;)

haha

but yea the hr-05 is one i really considered... if only my nb was in a place to not be cramped

nice job OP!

Dude do you have milk running through those tubes? Water is better :D Looks nice though.

Just Zerex hitting its stride. Bubbles went away after about an hour (T-lines, I've learned, are heck for bleeding), although, as you can clearly see, I was a bit impatient.

Hmmm, wonder about the thermal properties of milk...although bacteria growth may be a bit of an issue.

Meh, its easyer to just look @ teh pictures .___.

Guess I need some sleep.

well, teh pr0n is fairly fascinating...YOU, sleep?

Surely, sir, you jest.

9 hours a day if not more, I'll have you know.

In fact, I'll go do that now :P

No one sleeps anymore..

But that EK block is very sexy..where do you get one of those in the states?

EK ships to the U.S.

The price is very reasonable; the only caveat is that it takes a while to get here (9 days for me).

Trust me, in person, sexy does not even begin to describe Eddy's work. It's AAAAA+ stuff.

Nice work, warrior.

:toast:

not only will the bacteria pose a stinky problem but your pump may find it a bit hard to pump cottage cheese....

lol :)

Well if you don't mind flushing the system every coupple of hours due to chunks forming then it might be ok. :lol:

LOL, have you seen a PE 2400?

They weigh about 50 pounds and are almost as big as a foot locker.

Yes, but I still want to know how this remarkable contraption is able to add three hours to the day. I imagine that's quite useful (hint: re-read your sig)

Very nice work! :up:

from the pic i see that ur water flow goes like this
pump>cpu>vga>rad

i recommand changingit to be pump > rad > cpu > gpu

since ur pump produe 24watt of heat into the water and i am sure changing that will decrease ur cpu's load temp more

Correct! :)

warriorpoet, was your rad dirty inside when you got yours? Mine had all sorts of crude in it that I am currently cleaning out.

How would you suggest I do that? Perhaps a DDC Ultra would be a better alternative...although if I did that it'd be pump->rad->GPU->CPU, so I don't know the CPU would see any real benefit.

It looked like it, however, two days worth of vinegar plus six hours of 10/90 vinegar water pushed through with a MCP350 failed to dislodge any siginificant amount of gunk.

is that a rad box I see? How do you like it?

Better than I thought.

I was initially going to use a hollowed-out 120mm fan frame, but that didn't fit. The Radbox is a nice purpose-built alternative, although with a 120mm fan hole there is no adjustment (hence the heretical P180 cutting...).

the GT360 appears restrictive vs the BIX series but I am stilling trying to clean this crap out.

Do you have a BIX to compare? Can you tell me the difference in # of tubes? The GT definately has thinner ones, but I cannot say how many there are on the BIX, as I don't have one here to compare.

I didn't count the tubing in the rad but the BIX is much wider then the GT360. The BIX would flow with just running water, the GT does not. GT360 require pressure to get it to flow down the tubes and out the other hole on top. The BIX II only requires running facet water. The GT360 is restrictive so keep that in mind if anyone wants to buy one.

However, the GT fin design is superior to the BIX II. I can blow my breath on the rad and get better air flow then with the BIX II.
I am not sure how the D5 will fair with this but it does appear to require a lot of head from the pump if you ask me.
Right now I am runnig 2 141CFM and 1 74CFM fans on it.
Temp at idle are (it fluctuates) 33.5C and 34.5C still testing.

If I were to recommend a pump I would say that a RD30 would be your bet with a storm and GT rad combo. IMO

My D5 seems to work pretty well with it. Keep in mind my temps are from d5->CPU, so despite the extra heat dump, the GTS seems to handle the heat from my system rather well.

sorry for bringing back an old thread but can u show me please a pic to ur case without the side panel, cause i wonder how long is ur t-linesince u have a 120.3 rad so i would like to know how did u manage to get all fo the air from ur loop with this setup

I put it on its side while bleeding. The "T" now resides in my lowest empty 5.25" bay.

ic, ok thanks

no need for pictures now :P

LOL
