what fans are you using on your MCR 220? And at what RPM are they running? Are you using a shroud? Where's your rad located at?
Those are pretty nice temps...
rad looks like it is on top of case...looking at the 4th pic...looks like no shroud...

next on the mod change all 80mm fans to 120mm and watercool that gpu card too...

Simply awesome, great job! 1 quick question though: To make it easier for you the next time you fill your loop up, put the res a little higher then the pump in let. I'm assuming now when you go to fill your loop, you fill up the res, then tilt the case toward the pump?
Nothing anymore
Nice Mods man..

Looks niceI think if you try draining a big of the PC ice, then replacing it with water, you'll see an improvement

was going to try but when i measured i didnt have enough space to put 2x 120mm in back i would only be able to fit one and i would have had a ugly looking mad after cutting and as far as the gpu i am fine where its at it runs cool at 49-52c idle i have applied ceramique on gpu and thermal tape on memory but will consider water because i am upgrading to a gtx

I'd try to get rid of as much of it as possibleSome guys had PC Ice and they said its viscosity was damn high compared to water, and switching to water improved temps by a good bit. Do you still care about the color? The best coolant is water plus some algaecide (preferably this? http://www.petrastechshop.com/pepcobi1.html) and for the bling, add some dye. Its a shame jab-tech doesn't stock their old dye, the D-tek stuff is more expensive...
Well Frozen CPU still has theirs for 5 dollars. http://www.frozencpu.com/products/17...tl=g30c103s186
7.5 shipped for the dye, 5 shipped for the PT nuke, and some water (what? 30 cents???) and you'll see a drop in temps![]()

There's one problem with your loop setup. You need to reorient your GT block. You'll get better temps with the "Swiftech" label in the upright position.

I agree. Nice setup. Beats my idle temp. I get around 35 with coretemp. My first water setup looked like crap.
How much vcore are you pumping through that baby?
actually he wont. PCice is pretty good IMO.
I used it b4 and i didnt see that much of a difference from straight distilled. Its nothing like fluidXP.
I personally wouldnt change it. Its expensive coolant that actually somewhat works. You could get simular temps for less cost, but better wont be by much.
And also ranker is correct. It was shown by niksub that having the GT lined up so the barbs are up and down will actually increase its performance and drop your temps by a 2-3C. This was discovered accidentally by nikhsub. But later realized its because the cores are lined vertically, and hence in the path of the direction of flow of water.
Before I'm using like this
After like this
Only 1 degree down
