ok it takes around 45 mins to pull to 0F at the water block face... not too bad if you ask me

looks like next friday or saturday I will be insulating my board and installing this chiller unto my PII 965, I can already do 4.0GHz on air if I run my Kaze Ultra (130+ cfm) instead of my Delta (90 cfm)
I will also be switching over to a tech station to make my life easier!
so I am hoping for a solid 4.5GHz machine

Whats your plan for the water lines? Insulating, or are you going to run it to just below ambient?

Nice setup. I would suggest a smaller res, like this one: http://www.target.com/Rubbermaid-12-..._qi_detaillink
You would be able to pull those temps down quicker with less coolant

so you have a thermostat or something to turn the unit off and on according to temps? I bypassed my thermostat and ran the thing straight. Not really good for 24/7 usage... Good for gaming though. 3 or 4 days? dayuum that's a long time

as big as you can go I have a 15 gallon water barrel for my chiller project. Just need to insulate it.. =\
just a coupla quick questions what size brand is your reservoir, and how did you manage the fittings need specifics on those. Thanks
its an old coleman like 7 gallons
I used a box knife and cut out the holes for the fittings
then took some scrap copper tubing and cut one end of it in 4 strips so I could 'butterfly' it out and pushed it through, then I hot glued both sides to seal it up
then on the outside I pushed a 1/2" plastic tubing mender into the copper tubes and used pliers to make it fit really tight, then used JB Kwik (5 minute JB weld) and finished it of with hot glue for good measure
getting closer
I like this indeed, as it looked like a fun project. I'm impressed by this and good luck with. waiting to see the results.

ok everything is cold at idle (less than 0c) but almost instantly the CPU hits around 18c on load (4.2GHz 1.425v Phenom II 965 Black) is this normal or do I need to tear into the block and reseat?
however the coolant in the res stays around -7c

I think this might be the issue. Correct me if I am wrong but this is really uneven and pretty thick on one side.
I don't know what thermal paste you are using, but it looks like it's freezing and becoming less than useful.
You should probably use something like AS Ceramique. Or IC diamond.
Also, I don't like the way that contact patch looks at all. Check with no thermal grease or anything and see if the block rocks around on the CPU. It looks like you just used too much paste though.

well I mixed it, not very pretty but it should work, tested for leaks with my dad's vac tester on one port and my thumb on the other port
