Thanks for the compliment. Before I had water, I was using a Tuniq tower 120. On air the max oc I could get was 3.4ghz. At that speed I got about 62c at full load. After I went to water, it gets up to 49c at full load. Also, now I got it to be stable at 3.6 without too much effort. At 3.6 it gets up to 54c under full load.

Very nice! Excellent first watercooling build. Show us some pics with the sidepanel on.

Sorry for the delay...just one of those weeks. Also based on WL feedback:

If it's got silver end caps, I'll guarantee that they are aluminum.

...I confirmed with AC that the res does contain aluminum. I drained the loop the day after WL's post. While I wait on a new res, here are some pics before i drained the loop and removed the res:

I like the shelf you have your case on.

I like the shelf you have your case on.

thanks. figured if i was going to put this much work into a build, there should be a place worthy of holding it!

Hey sheriff_deadeye, i like how you moded the PSU from back to the front. think if i got that case, i can fit an HX1000 up there?

[malkiewicz]

Sheriff, Where’s the PSU exhaust fan located? Is it blowing the hot air towards the hard drives?

A little update on my build, still not complete

Hey sheriff_deadeye, i like how you moded the PSU from back to the front. think if i got that case, i can fit an HX1000 up there?

The 550 is : 5.9"(W) x 3.4"(H) X 5.5"(L); 150mm(W) x 86mm(H) x 140mm(L)
the HX1000 is: 150mm(W) x 86mm(H) x 200mm(L)

I also moved the hard drive cage and rotated it 180 degrees. Once you remove one of the two cages in the v1000 and decide to move the other one, you can fit the longer power supplies - front or back. I used the standard lian li psu mounting plate to mount the psu.

Sheriff, Where’s the PSU exhaust fan located? Is it blowing the hot air towards the hard drives?

The PSU intake fan is on the bottom and the exhaust is towards the front of the case, away from the drives. When i moved it to the front, i also rotated the PSU 180 degrees since normally the exhaust would be towards the back of the case.

Even though the PSU is not blowing on the drives, there is a lot of heat build up around the drives. I have an 80mm fan where the psu used to be in the back, but there's not enough air flow to cool down the drives. I'm trying to improve the air flow around the 80mm. If that doesn't work, i'll have to cut a fan hole in the side panel.
