Just finished my 1st WC build ...Pics Uploaded *FIXED*

[clee]

Very nice Dave, mad props to your setup.
Yeah it definitely looks like 5/8 OD to me, I think I'm gonna switch back to Tygon 7/16 next time around.
btw what are those ramsinks sitting on top of the dimm sticks ? Perhaps they are mosfet heatsinks, are they not ?

[Grinch]

what temps are you getting?

[Jedda]

Yeah, I'd be interested in how your temps are too.
It's a bit unusual to find the 680 with the chipset done but without GPU.
How much G11 did you use too, David?

[septim]

wife factor for most of us...
with expensive hobby we've got, we're lucky that we don't get thrown out on our butts...

[Grinch]

what screws did you use to mount the pa120.3 to the front of your cube?

...and we seventeen-year olds have the mom factor to contend with.

I'm dreading the day the package arrives, she's going to go ballistic when she finds out how much I spent on watercooling.

Ahhh yes !

I love those days where big packages addressed to me arrive, and my mom flips out.

Trick is, you have to open it up quick and steal the receipt so she can't see the price you paid- at least, that works for me. My mom never knew my watercooling order cost like 220, I told her it was on sale for 50.

$120 for rad
$400 on order from vcore.dk (you guys rock!) but $80 of it is coming back when I walk the blocks virtualrain ordered to his house, since we combined orders.
then I need to order a couple fiddly bits from Petra's Tech Shop, which hopefully won't break the $20 mark...

...this is what happens when you have a <$300 watercooling loop planned, then you see sexy waterblocks from www.watercool.de and blow up in your pants. Watch and learn.

what temps are you getting?

I put it in my sig now

Temps: E6600 @ 3.150 Idle 32C Load: 45C

[DavidP]

what screws did you use to mount the pa120.3 to the front of your cube?

I Used the screws that came with the PA120.3. I know fan screws look much better but i don't have fans on the other side yet, and I wanted to do the pull config. Can I do it another way ?

[DavidP]

Yeah, I'd be interested in how your temps are too.

How much G11 did you use too, David?

I have a 7800GTX and I thought well since I'm not over clocking my GPU and I plan to upgrade soon I figured I would hold off on WC the GPU. Your Question about the G11 I didn't use much ... I should have measured but in relation to the bottle it's a little less than 1/4.

[Jedda]

What temp are you seeing from the chipset at idle (in bios)?

[Okda]

i like the look on the dog's face

I hear ya ... I'm lucky that she tolerates it to some extent. Even though I'm the money maker she still has a say because she can take away the 1 thing I like more than computers

[DavidP]

31C last time I checked

[Jedda]

Thanks.

The TV remote?

The TV remote?

nah must be the chocolate cake...

[masaville]

Lookin' good!

[nullface]

Cool those RAM

What are OCZ Flex doing in a WC setup without water?

[mhw100]

I see you covered up the MC50s on the board with what looks like Swifty MC14s. I thought you weren't supposed to cover them up though? Also, was it not possible to replace the sinks that are behind the mc50s where evga has the black aluminum units?

Thanks.

Thermalright's mosfet sinks won't fit there. Don't know of any thing that will hence most of us running EVGA boards resorted to swiftech heatsinks.

Yes it looks like really tight quarters. So;
1. So then I assume it is ok to cover up the tops of the mc50 with the swifty?
2. Could these same ramsinks be used to replace th existing other black aluminum sinks that are behind the 50s or are they too big for that?

[noel82]

great job man

looks and works great

[picard]

I like your case. What is the size of the tubing?

Is that pump strong enough to pump through such a large radiator?

What kind of case are you using?
