It's the effort, not the product, that counts.

new chipset waterblock

Why on earth should i change my chipset blocks, they keep my temps down and equally has a good flow, where as am using 8/6 tubes and barbs.

Thanks for the comment Pedalmonkey

[Arni]

8/6 barbs That is legal ?

[Pedalmonkey]

I have had this PC together for a while, I haven't posted any pictures of it yet. I decided since I just got a Radeon 3870x2 that I should take some pictures. Sorry for the fingerprints and the slightly cloudy tubes(it has been running for 4 months without a flush/new tubing and its masterkleer). I also didn't dust it before the pictures as I am lazy today .

P.S. I am not a photographer.

sweet,looking rig,nice and clean and tidy

[knet370]

elbows!

[Dawgdoc]

Knet I would get rid of those elbows. 90 degree elbows are HIGHLY restrictive and dramatically reduce flow through the loop.

2 X 45s would be better, but best would really be just the tube with a slight arc to it.

[knet370]

i know, i know.. i ran out of tubes.

[dnb#]

And you definitely have to throw away those UGLY smartcoils...why do people still use them, I really don't understand that.....just buy reasonable tygon? I use tygon for about 3,5 years now and never had any kink. and believe me, my previous loops were tight bended. just buy r3400 with thicker walls.

[knet370]

smartcoils doesnt bother me on the looks department as i dont have a clear sidepanel. lol! ;-) and it came for free!

[Herbal]

I've had Tygon flatten on me even on even on easy gentle curves...gave up on the stuff due to cost.

[zlojack]

I use smartcoils because my tygon was starting to kink on the curves. I am probably going to remove it from the longer runs of tubing though, because I'm beginning to find it tacky.

[dnb#]

nonsense, buy some 1/2 ID 3/4 OD uv resistant r3400 and I'll assure you it doenst kink.

All smaller sizes have thinner walls, I had 3/8 once, but that sucked ass with tight bends. And in some way the r3400 black uv-resistant tubes perform way better as the clear ones :S I've had all kinds of tubing and doing this for about 5 years so I know what I'm talking about

But If you don't mind how it looks, it doesn't matter offcourse

System looks great btw!

how i wish i didnt needed the smartcoils. prob is, i got a 5/8 od and it kinks really really bad. especially the run on the cpu block to the single rad on the exhaust. man it kinks so bad i had to use smartcoils. but i totally agree smartcoils looks ugly..i may have to use 3/4od the next time i change tubes. for now, it does the trick.

[SoulsCollective]

Solution: un- and re-bent paperclips and matte-black heatshrink. Looks rather good actually, and certainly much less intrusive than smartcoils.

[fungry]

@knet370

great looks :P. I'm beginning to admire black tygon :P

[SoulsCollective]

It's not black Tygon, it's black coolant. Look at the elbow fittings
