    Beavis, flamebaiting this one isn't a good idea, your asking to get sent the same place R3 did and you dont want that.

    keep the grudge to yourself and just sick him by getting his sponsors taken away by telling them the crap he pulls

    No, this is not about that other thread and anyone in particular. If you read that thread you see I mentioned myself as a noob before that other crap came up. If you guys want to go with the don't say anything about anything then we cannot discuss anything. Accusing me of flame baiting is saying you can read my mind. Now please remove your references and I will remove this reply.

    TT does seem to be an equation to n00b but then let me show you uber noob:



    Mixing and matching of parts. if you look real close you can see I mixed tubing sizes on one setup

    H20 Noob = Someone who tries to attach a 120mm fan to the end of the water tube.

    H20 Pro = Someone who tried it and then reattached it to the pump or block where it belongs.

    Yes. So you might say, at least he only used a TT block . . .well, you did not see the rig I built for my wife around that same time:


    LOL . . .EVERYTHING is TT except for the DD block. Check it out. I even have ALL the Aquabay accessories. So, there u go. TWO builds under my belt. Status = ? n00b. WTF?

    I changed my original thread to more accurately tell what this is about. This is going to be a bumpy ride if everyone throws in their best moments

    2x MCR120 internal
    Opteron 170@2.4GHz (D-Tek MP-05)
    x1900xtx (XxxX...x- EK FC-1800) OC'd
    MCRES-1000
    Laing D5
    Yes, that's 3/8" Tygon on a D5- glad I didn't try that again

    I had one rad pulling air through the front door, filter door and filter, the other was pulling hot air from inside the case. The top hole was exhaust. I couldn't figure out why my case temps were clearing 50c, and my CPU peaked at 55c (with 1600RPM fans front and top, Nexus in the rear). The back rad was actually warming up my components and restricting airflow to the rest of the case. The D5 was for Mk.2. Mk.1 had a bay res/ DDC combo; I thought the pump was my problem.

    Yeah, n00b.

    Funny thing is, I asked for a lot of advice on here and ignored most of it. Took most of it for try #2, and SURPRISE! My temps improved and I could run my fans slower/ quieter. Shocking; y'all knew better than me.

    One thing all those build did FINALLY teach me (after many leaks) was to leak test outside of the case.

    Lmao DB, I never used any TT wc stuff and if I had I would have deleted any pics like that a long time ago on the grounds that they might have incriminated me!

    Wc newb = new guy with too many questions and not enough semi informed reading.

    Wc nOOb = someone who has a functioning water-cooled pc and STILL thinks that the TT bigwater is as good as it gets.
