This is running in XP compatibility mode, not sure if that makes a difference. Here's the 'Long' benchmark.

I don't know, maybe my performance numbers are actually pretty good. I have no frame of...

I've been running my RAID 10 array using 4x Caviar Black 640s for about 9 months now, and I've not really been particularly impressed with the 'blistering' speed I've been getting. Today, on a whim,...

Yikes that's tight!

Looks like the 1st fan should be OK, like you said it's blowing into the power supply through it's grill. The second one is like half blocked, though. I'd probably remove that...

Well there -was- a post on there about notching the edge of the connector to make the wires lay flat across the top, essentially letting them come off the connector at a 90 degree angle. That's...

Dunno if we'll ever see them put the plugs on the back, but at the least it'd be nice if they put them on the plane of the board at the edges, kind of like how they do SATA.

Not really likely, since it's probably part of the ATX standard to have the plugs on the front.

However if you are feeling brave with a soldering gun, nothing says you can't flip the connectors...

Kicking around the idea of dropping the dual loop idea and going with one loop for everything.

Paint job looks good! Really digging the green fans on the black.

Glad to hear it scratches easy. Well, no, not really glad to hear it... just glad to hear I didn't screw mine up as badly as I'd...

152.4 millimeters

Do you mean the depth of the bay, or the height? It's more than 150 in height, total. Depth wise I'm not sure, I can check when I get home tonight. I'm guessing you'd want the smallest value, since...

Not a huge one by any account, unless you have a huge number of disks.

You can use http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp to estimate, although judging from your current specs I'd...

We should sandwich a TEC in there somewhere too... just to be thorough. :up:

Not if it was an all copper block.

Sure do! Current setup is ~6 months old. These were taken right after I got it running, before I installed the window. System specs are in the sig, although it's currently running at stock speeds do...

Very interesting product, you basically plumb it like it's two seperate loops, but they...

Well right now I'm in the mid-40s on all cores when idle, and pushing 70 under load. GPU is 65 at idle and I've seen it near 80c under load.

I'd like to bring the load temps down some, not so much...

Ok, still working on finalizing things, but getting closer to pulling the trigger. Unfortunately I've determined that my HX620 just isn't going to have the juice, so I'm trying to decide between the...

What the... 0_o

Well, I guess there are worse things you could have gotten it stuck on.

Glad you were able to get it off.

Did you ever get it straightened out? I want to go WC on my rig, not nessary to cool the board that way, but it'd be nice.

It -sounds- like you said you need the X58 Kit's smaller block, and the...

I believe it's only the MOSFETs that are trouble to find waterblocks for. At one point EK had a kit that supposedly fit, but only one of the MOSFET coolers fit, the other wouldn't bolt to the board....

I'll be the smartass who says, "Tight enough that it doesn't leak" :)

Hmm, looks like the first one I posted (with the double female thread) plus a G1/4 male-to-male is the way to go, then. :up:

That'd be the one!

Found it once, can't remember where.

What about http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/inteseforaqa.html with a male-to-male adapter attaching it to the pump top?

I think they make one that has a male end as well, but I can't find it...

I wouldn't recommend it, at least not with more than 1 fan per channel, and even then not very strong fans.

My Kaze Master is 6 months old and only 2 channels are functional still. Channel 1 sorta...
