saw your project on hardocp, Unoid. Looks awesome
Nice kakaroto! How are your temps? What kind of water additive did you use?
Thanks! My temps are 30C idle and 41C stress (opteron 146 @300x10 1.488v Prime stable and with IHS on)Quote:

What about your ambient temp?Quote:

My ambient is 20C. I think these are normal temps. Opterons are hot too.Quote:

idles at 33C, load at 35C with fans on lowest speed, temps might drop 1 degree C at full speed lol.
Just finished this sucker a couple days ago. :)

w00t! :)
EDIT: Forgot temps. CPU temps are 37-38 C full load at 2.95GHz and 1.55V according to MBM5. Video card usually a 4-8 C higher than CPU during gaming.
Here's my HTPC wich is also watercooled.

Nice WC setup zeus :D good job :eek:
Very nice ,,, i see that u have small vga [6600-x700?] a chipset & vga cooler can be attached also :D
Thanks guys, i feel honored. :)
zeus: that's one clean setup :D I was just wondering about the vibration of the pump? is it loud? and how sturdy is it?
Thnx.:)Quote:

How sturdy is what? The pump or the mount?
The pump is very good built and the mount is a bit flexible but it definately won't come off.
finally got some pics my rebuilt system. replaced my noisy hydor l35 with a quieter D5 and installed the BIP3
Here is my first attempt at building a watercooled rig. I like the TT Tai Chi case and they hung most of the components on the door. I didn't want their POS stuff so I ordered the case and loaded it up with mostly Swiftech components. I still have to install the UV lighting.

Here is a shot when I was fitting it all up.

Here is a shot looking down the throat of the drive bays with the door shut. I've got about 3/8" clearence between the top edge of the 7800GT graphics card and fan grill on the radiator. A little tight, :eek:

Nice job Rapier. Looks like top notch gear all the way. No corners cut here. Very clean, if unusual install.
You know Rock, I always have to be a little different. I do like the low temps of 82F at idle and 104F under load with Opti 146 @ 3.1 ghz and 1.57v on the core.Quote:

I am especially fond of how you setup that Y fitting.
love the batter, i'm actually planning to do the same thing lol, dont feel like shelling out 12 bucks for a "fill port"Quote:

You couldn't get that tight loop on the discharge line from the block with Tygon. I did get the the UV lights put in it today. Here are some more pics.Quote:
