wow nice temjin dude. did you get that powder coated?

**FlimFlam00** · 07-30-2007, 10:26 AM

Thanks man. It is actually a paint job from Smooth Creations. I usually would think it would be blasphemous to paint brushed aluminum, but............

Thanks guys. I assembled it pretty quick, but have to freaking take it apart again. ;-) Now I am wondering what I should do for my next rig? Trying to get a hold of a Soldam case.

**Jedda** · 07-31-2007, 02:25 AM

Yeah, your paint work has soldam feel to it. I can understand you moving more in that direction.
Certainly a nice change from black on your silverstone. Looks luxurious.

Quick question, do cold cathodes affect water temps inside a case ?

It would depend on how close to the tubing the cathode was and what sort of cathode we're talking about here, but even in a worst-case scenario the increase would be a fraction of a degree.

This should really be in a new thread.

You have 3 heatpipes, I only got 2 of them....

And your card is running @ 830/850, mine is running @850/1000, so you can clock some harder

Nice WC sets btw, all of you !

it's a sapphire card. And now that it's on water it does 890/1050 @ 43c.

Agree! But i like the liquid. Seems like blood

Meh, cable management aside...tell me how I can "improve" the tube management? This is my first build, so my apologies for "screwing up".

The "red" liquid is just distilled water with red food coloring added to it. I did add some of the "pink" anti-corosion liquid I got with the kit first.

No need to apologize, first loop is usually a bit rougher than the next ones. My loop has some extra tubing in it as well, I'm just too lazy to clean it up

Here is what I see that you can do:
1. Rotate your Fuzion so the logo is upright, then run to the rad. Cut the tubing shorter by a few inches, you could probably remove 3-5 inches from that run.
2. Shorten the tubing from the rad to the res. Don't do it too much so that it kinks but you could lose a couple inches from there.

That would neaten it up quite a bit

**DarkJedi** · 08-02-2007, 01:22 PM

See, this is exactly what I need. Thank you Sparky

I will work on that this weekend. So the D-Tek logo should be facing up towards the PSU? Also, what would be the best way to drain a system? As I'm sure I should so I don't screw anything up while remounting the block.
