OMG I love the fan duct. It has made my day

Apologies if I've missed something

I dont think you're missing anything, I have the T-junctions, 3/8" tubing and only one DDC1 Ultra pump but the flow to the chipsets is fine (using a PA120.2 for the GPU's + chipsets). I could see air bubbles flying through the tubing while bleeding it and my chipset temps have dropped by ~15C compared to the stock cooler which is perfectly fine by me

I originally wanted y's instead of t's but 1/2" tubing wouldn't fit on the SB (unless i'm mistaken) and I'm pretty sure nobody makes a y-splitter with one 1/2" and one 3/8" outputs, or if they do you can't buy them in the UK (again, unless I'm mistaken).

This is still only really my first attempt at watercooling and I'm still learning and doing as much research as I can before I buy and mod anything so all your feedback is more than welcome.

Yes, but where the ducting is connected to the ac unit it isn't sealed. So the air instead of trying to be forced through that long length of duct will just vent out the side.

@hotshot100

very amusing.. however one way that really could work is if you bought a load of tubing and put your RAD next to the ac unit. That may well make a huge difference if its super cold air hitting it??

Damn that's a huge res [kinks in the tubing???]. I hope the TT block is working its butt off for you

**Utnorris** · 06-01-2008, 12:29 PM

Just a thought, instead of having the dryer hose or even running the rad all the way over to the A/C, just build a water chiller. You already have the A/C, just take it apart, get a cooler and some antifreeze and put together a water chiller. It just seems like you would be better off taking the hose down and just cooling the room.

Just my 2 cents.

Next . . . you need to do some serious wire managment and organizing. You have a nice tower (huge) that deserves some love. Check out the Bitspower powerstations for having one psu cable power many peripherals

For those that remember rev1 earlier: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...postcount=8482

Here is a rev2, not quite complete. Not sure what I think about the blue powder coat I chose. The flash on this camera makes the blue look a little more pale that it actually is. You guys think the outer radiator shroud should be blue also? Other comments? (beside me puting the CPU block inlet on the top, or the ApogeeGTX top non copper) I welcome all comments and suggestions. I'm not liking the blue personally...I like rev 1 better colorwise, although for rev 2 I finally got my tubing, wiring, and such the way I want it.

**Gir92** · 06-01-2008, 10:27 PM

I love blue, but I think your revision one was all around more appealing.

**SoulsCollective** · 06-01-2008, 10:51 PM

Rev.1 was much better. Rev.2 just isn't working.

**elpibe10** · 06-01-2008, 10:55 PM

Same here. Prefer Rev. 1

**aicjofs** · 06-01-2008, 10:56 PM

Well at least I'm not alone here in not liking the looks as much.... *sigh*

That's what rev 3 is for!

**~~MomijiTMO~~** · 06-01-2008, 11:03 PM

Hey change is good and when you get sick of it, you'll find motivation to come up with something else.

**CarNabY** · 06-02-2008, 12:29 AM

Old Step 1

And new component for step 2

To be continued.....

VERY nice! The only downside is the use of elbows when you clearly did not need them. I love the UV effects and super clean build tho!!!

**Peter Burg** · 06-02-2008, 10:45 AM

Tanks a lot

I don't mind elbows, i got a laing, it has enough power
